I will be at side splitters comedy club in Tampa I hope you're alright, and if everything's call on out and we'll have a laugh. DanSodder.com. That's where you'll find me. I'm trying new catchphrases. Does this work? That's where you'll find me.
Starting point is 00:01:11 I think that sucks. Did you have that growing up where you like, I'm going to be crazy. I'm going to do something crazy. You don't seem like- Sometimes I feel feel like do I have memories really yeah sometimes I'm just sort of like is there things that have happened to me so bad I've locked away the rest of it you go am I a clone yeah I'm just like I you know I'm trying to think yes I did pink hair at one time okay yes I that's a bold move visited my dad in Orlando with I would my parents are divorced obviously.
Starting point is 00:01:45 I forgot your dad's in Orlando. Orlando. I forgot about that. You know, had to go visit him as kids. Me and my two older sisters because it was court ordered. And oh, really? So he want was it that the court rewarded him or the court punished him? What was it? Was it like the court going like you're going to see your fucking kids? The court gave him custody because he fought for it
Starting point is 00:02:05 But he shouldn't have No, but that's good Telling you as someone whose father didn't want to be involved. Hey, where you feel forced on You know where they're like now we're sending them to you. Yeah, and you're dealing with them for three weeks See that is a way worse feeling. Oh for sure. That's what I'm saying But your dad's like but that's why you're probably, you know, in some way or another people, please, or you're amenable. You're like, I'm going to, I'll fit right into this little spot right here and I'm not going to disturb. And you're nailing why I never shave half my head. Cause I'm like, guys, I'm not a problem.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Like I, I was the kid at sleepovers where they were like, um, is Dan still here? I go, I guess you could sleep on the couch. And I go, that's better. It's better than I expected. How did he be down there with you guys in the bag? No, you guys have your, so I don't need a bond. I will go to the garage. If you want me, I will clean your parents. I can clean up between your parents. I remember like cleaning up at sleepovers, like helping clean up, being like, I got this, you guys are kissing. I feel like I was, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:07 These are the times where I actually need to phone a friend and be like, what was I like? Well, do your sisters ever tell you that? Your two older sisters? Yeah, I mean, I was definitely a little shit. You're the youngest. Yeah. Comics, they say, are always the baby, only child, baby, or the oldest.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Yes. But mostly baby and only child. Yeah, mostly baby. Yeah, baby, because you're like, I'm the baby, gotta love me, you or the oldest. Yes. But mostly baby and only child. Yeah. Mostly baby. Yeah. Baby. Cause you're like, I'm the baby. Got to love me. You're the dinosaurs. Oh, it was great. And those all puppets. It was all puppets. And like skin like the baby was like, you saw the texture and you're like, why don't I want to touch it? But I don't want to touch it. Yeah. So you were the bait. How, what's the, what's the distance in you
Starting point is 00:03:46 and your older sister? Four years and six years. Okay. So the one that's six year was like no time for Beth. Oh, she would say things like I'm never having kids. Cause he, cause he. Yeah. Yeah. I remember one time I stabbed her with a pencil
Starting point is 00:04:02 and then go, like, I know it was going to get in trouble. I was like, Oh no. That's awesome. You go, I can't be in trouble cause I'm the victim. But you stabbed your sister. There was still like a little piece of lead in there. That's so great. Did you scratch your face? I, I remember my, we had a stepdad for a stint. And he tied a bolt to a string from a beam
Starting point is 00:04:30 in the basement for the cat to hit. And I right at her, little blood right here for sure. Really? Did you think it was funny? Again, it's the immediate, oh no, I'm gonna get punished. But at that moment where you flick that you go, this would be hilarious. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Nailed her with the bolt. Yes, I did all, I remember, I would do things like piss my pants to make them laugh. Who didn't? I just, I would do anything for a laugh. Can I just say the bravery? Because I did that once and it got a laugh, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, because I did that once and it got a laugh,
Starting point is 00:05:10 but the horror that follows the laugh is not worth the laugh. You almost learn your limitations right there. It's not too dissimilar from like, Oh, first time at a sea world, let's go to Shamu first. And the rest of the day, Oh God, I should have never done that. Why were we in the splash zone? Why would I go to the splash zone right away? It's, it's, it's, it's at the end of the day. When you're going home, you're going to get that fresh for all you young kids watching
Starting point is 00:05:35 this podcast, it's the closer clothes on pissing your pants. Because, dude, I remember my friend Byron lived around the corner from me, and we were in like seventh grade, and like all the neighborhood kids are hanging out, we're like being silly. And I go, what if I just pissed my pants? And they're like, you wouldn't. It was like summer, and I just started pissing,
Starting point is 00:05:57 and they were like. You wouldn't. They go, ah! And then I remember it was just one kid goes, eeeww. And then he'd go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, it's hilarious. Cause someone said I would never do it. And then dude, just being like having to fight the rumors
Starting point is 00:06:14 at the bus stop when school starts, like, Byron said you pissed your pants this summer. And you're like, I did it as a bit. I know it was a joke. And it was a fuck that doing that as a little kid, it was a fucking joke. Okay as a little kid, where you go, it was a fucking joke, okay? You don't get it. I will say the immediate lesson learned though,
Starting point is 00:06:30 is probably the most, it's the haunting part of it. For example, I used to do a lot of things for laughs, bodily humor. I one time ate a stick of butter for two minutes, because it'd make my friends older brother laugh. I ate a dog bone at my sister's party. I ate a. Like. I one time ate a stick of butter for two minutes cause it'd make my friends older brother laugh. I ate a dog bone at my sister's party. I ate a milk bone. Same.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I mean, we are, we would have been a killer comedy girl. Can you imagine? The nasty boys. I mean, the nasty boys. We would have, in middle school, we would have cleaned up at a bus stop. 100% My sister's a c-
Starting point is 00:07:03 Stealing and soda, they'd be like, good luck following it. By the way, they both piss at the same time. 100% my sister's a seeker. Stealing and soda, they'd be like, good luck following it. By the way, they both piss at the same time. I'm queefing on demand while you piss. I'm farting out the back, she's farting out the front. We got a whole fucking thing going. We lived in first-hand with some of them. Boom, let's get gross.
Starting point is 00:07:18 That bus pulls away, they're like, those kids are gonna do something. By the way, Child Protective Services would absolutely go to both the Stealing and Soder households and be like, we gotta check out on these kids. But you are in that age of middle school, you are going for what can make people laugh.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Yes. And it was, there's a crossover that probably happens, I think, sooner for girls, which is like, you guys can go longer without hitting puberty and sort of fake it. For us, it's very clear that you don't have tits and that was like something I wanted so bad. I was like so flat for so long. I was a gymnast. Were you, how long, how old were you a gymnast till? I think I actually stopped in sixth grade but the tits, the side effect of no tits lasted forever.
Starting point is 00:08:00 They keep that, they push that period down on gymnasts. I didn't get one until ninth grade. Yeah. Was that, how, I'm a Yeah, I didn't get one until ninth grade Yeah, was that how I'm a guy. I probably could have been having sex without any protection. That's crazy. You're just robbed on me As it kicked in So What's the normal age for a period like well now they say like kids are getting in fifth grade because the milk has hormones and stuff. Shout out science. Thanks for pressing the fast forward button. Exactly. So some people and even back then I remember like the earliest I had heard was fifth that's
Starting point is 00:08:38 really soon. Yeah that's got to be scary. Yes that's something you would almost hide like oh my god I'm bleeding I'm not gonna tell my mom. She thinks I'm dying. Man, you know, boys are so lucky that we don't have that moment where all of a sudden our shit just starts bleeding at school and you're like, ah, ah, ah, ah. You gotta find a fucking teacher.
Starting point is 00:08:56 You get a little blood on your hand and leave a path to the bathroom. Yeah, it looks like Desperado and Anthony, but there is, when he's walking along the wall, it's just streaking. Did you? The blood squats to follow Soderling in a pool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Nah, I'm just kidding, my bus is bleeding. Yeah. Get up, we're just doing bits. He was not doing that bit, that's a good bit. It's a good bit. Again, all the children that watch. Get your period. Drip, drip, drip to the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:09:20 They have a little mystery trail. All the children who are watching out there. Find out who's going to be a detective at your school. See who follow, follow the blood, follow the blood. When you were doing gymnastics, did it get to a point where it was like too competitive? Yes. Okay. So I started in first grade, which you could almost argue is a little late. Really funny thing about so many of these things that, that people master so early, I was like going for a jog at the track the other day and I saw a guy, he
Starting point is 00:09:51 had put one of those harnesses on his daughter who looked I'm bad at ages five. Sure. And she's like running. This was like a high school that I was running around the track. She's training a five year old for real. And at first I was like, what? You know, like that's nuts. But then I'm thinking, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:10 There's so many arguments about like what you're supposed like the lines with your children, you know, like what's too soon or even more controversial topics. But it's like, I don't know. Did they express an interest in soccer or are you forcing it on them until they say no? Also, it's like weird to be like, yeah, my first grader has an explosiveness to her because we're using shoot training at the high school. Right. With a parachute every Saturday.
Starting point is 00:10:34 It's like you, when you're little, you just want to run around. Right. You don't want to a parachute on your kid. I think that's like, I think a lot of that is adults living through their children. I think earliest version of it is they're getting in that soon. Cause I definitely express interest in it. That's why my mom, my mom's were freaking was a teacher. Yeah. And she, she didn't tell me at the time, but later I found out she like dipped into her savings so that I could do gymnastics. So you wanted to do it bad. I did. And also I was like an ADHD kid, which of course I didn't find out. Like,
Starting point is 00:11:04 it was told to me way too late and I. Oh, now that I don't have to take tests? Exactly. Thanks. Yeah. So anyway, I was, so got a lot of talks too much, got a lot of can't sit still, is finishing her work then annoying other people. Sounds like a write-up for me.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Except I never finished my work. I go right to pick it, go from picking glue off my hand to annoying my classmates. Hey, what are you doing? Can I copy? Can I copy? Oh God, rubber cement smells so good. Oh my God, but just pouring glue on your hand
Starting point is 00:11:35 and letting it dry and then being like, I'm lucky I don't do meth. I mean, that's like why you smoke meth is- It's a project. You just pick glue off your hand, but it's actually your real skin That's what it is. So when you were like, so you know your mom about the interest. I Was sounds like you more than express. Yes. I really wanted to do it
Starting point is 00:11:55 She she's sacrificing so that I could do it. Did your sisters do it? No, they did ballet and I couldn't I I didn't like it So everything that they did I either fail at or I wasn't good at. I remember like being scared to go into ballet. It just wasn't my thing. So my sisters were kind of two peas in a pod. They're like, I don't know, I forget. Two years apart. 16 months apart or something, or 18 months.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Irish twins, huh? Yeah, they're close. I guess maybe it's a little longer, 79 and yeah, who cares. Point is close. And I was never really doing what they were doing. The gymnastics, I was like ripped as a kid. You know what I'm saying? Like third grade, I've got an eight pack.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Oh, no body fat. Yeah. Yeah. And you could do like crazy flips. I could do pushups, I could do sit ups. I'm trying to think about like the most impressive things. You know, climb a rope in a warehouse and ding a bell at the top of a warehouse. Never made it to the top.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Yeah. I mean, that was a source of pride because that was like a big deal because it's also scary to get up that high. And then what about- I can't believe they let us do it to be honest. I know, with no support, no harnesses? Yeah. How did a kid not just fall out the sky?
Starting point is 00:12:53 I don't know. Imagine being a gym teacher and you're like talking to another kid, you go Reese, and then just see the kid go, swoop, and you go, oh, are you all right? Like, dude, Vecchione and I. Especially because the mats in gym are like that thing. At least in the gymnastics place,
Starting point is 00:13:08 they've got some big eight inch ones. Vecchione and I belonged to a gym in Queens. I haven't seen him in a long time, I love him. Oh, he's great, he was on a podcast. He, we were at a gym in Astoria called The Rock. Welcome to The Rock. And they had a rock climbing wall. Never saw anybody use it in the
Starting point is 00:13:26 six years I went there. And one time I'm just like working out. It's like a fucking Wednesday afternoon. And all of a sudden in the corner of my eye, I just see a guy go, and a guy didn't sign up, didn't tell the Jimmy was going to climb, just started climbing the rock wall and got high up and didn't know how to get down and fell down. Not even into the cubes of foam? No cubes of foam. Those thin, they were like, those thin mats stacked. They had to get an ambulance and pull him out on a stretcher. It was wild.
Starting point is 00:13:59 And I was like, I think I was like doing something like curls or something. So I'm like, and then it's just like, you just see him fucking eat it. I think that was at the gym that day too. Cause we were like, that was fucking wild. Cause you can't react to that. No, you're not supposed to laugh. I would love to know how many gym teachers have watched kids go like, I was going home. Oh shit. I know how was there not, or they catching him or I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I mean, to try to get under them. I feel like the I was going, oh shit. I know. How was there not? Or they catching him or I don't know. I mean, to try to get under them. I feel like the smart kid is, is knowing they should hold on and just suffer the rope burns. Yeah. Yeah. Just come down. So you were good at that. Okay. So yes, I actually was good at gymnastics, but it wasn't, I wasn't good enough. Like I, I, I made the team. Do you remember the girl's name that was good enough?
Starting point is 00:14:45 Do you remember who was really good? I know I'm trying to think of some of the I used to. You're right. Andrea. I'd like go back and think of like I sucked at baseball, but like the Nunes twins were like they were so good. They felt they were younger than me, but they felt like men. You're like, you guys can hit home runs and shit.
Starting point is 00:15:04 I am. I was OK. fielder horrible at the plate. There's also dynamics of those teams. Yeah. Like did they like you? I was funny but I sucked so it was tough. Okay. I was in middle school. I was trying to figure out like even still when I enter a new situation like being funny is very valuable. Yes. It's an icebreaker. As an adult though, I think as I've made it my career, I feel like maybe I've grown a little more shy. To be funny?
Starting point is 00:15:32 As an adult. Just, it comes out of me eventually. But I think as an adult that I've made comedy my career, I'm a little shy outside of it. I don't know, it's like a weird side effect. Yeah. Do you think you were more like brazen when you were like, yes. Well, you were pissing your pants.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I was pissing my pants and eating dog bones. The pissy, I mean the pissy pants twins. We're on tour. Come watch us. No diapers necessary. It's all for the laugh. So when you're doing gymnastics at what, do you remember the point where you're like, I'm done doing this? It was like, I was getting taller. I started being like, I don't know if I'll ever do those types of routines on the balance beam. The balance beam really held me up.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Because I learned how to do a cartwheel, which was hard enough, but enough times where you do a back walk over or any sort of jump in the air and you're landing on a beam like this right on your crunch, it's like, I don't know how many times I can do that. I saw that at the Olympics a couple of times this year. This is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:16:28 The beam was the scariest thing for me. I really liked the bars, I liked the floor, but- I know they make a big deal of guys getting kicked in the dick all the time, but smashing your puss on a bar, it has to hurt. Yes, and it did. I remember going to the bathroom after it and seeing like, I remember going, did I get my period?
Starting point is 00:16:43 Like, I thought that's how it worked. Whoa. Like I banged it up so hard. Oh yeah. You knocked it loose. I'm not saying there was blood, but I was like, if this, did that make me get my period? That's what I thought. Having a bruised puss. Cause of a balance beam. Also you got the, you got the lit, you know, you got, you got meat before it. So you're smashing meat. Yeah. Boy or girl, you're smashing your meat. A balance beam is a meat smasher. That's what they should call it.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Fuck a balance beam. Call it what it is. It's a meat smasher. Yeah, so it was like, I was good, but yeah, it was getting taller. I had the fear in me, which made me feel uncomfortable because it's like, I wanna be fearless. I want to be this good.
Starting point is 00:17:17 So would you see girls? But the skills were getting higher and higher and I thought, I don't know if I can hack that. Did you ever do like the bars? Yes, I did the bars. The routine was more like kip glides up, like casting, which is like your feet up, up, and then around, like you do circling.
Starting point is 00:17:33 You do the around. A giant is when you are fully extended and you see them go around the big and they kind of like, they'll kind of pike a little bit and then go up. Yeah. I did those with a spot. That was never something I. Still you did it. Yeah, but that was never something. Give go up. I did those with a spot. That was never something I, yeah, but that was never-
Starting point is 00:17:46 Give yourself credit. I still got to do it. And then I would do a flip off, one flip, versus double twist, anything. Don't give a shit, that's sick. That's still cool. And you know, I liked the floor so much because I could do back handspring, back handspring,
Starting point is 00:17:59 you know, back flip, back tuck. To music? Yes, right? And you had things. And you had pose. Do a couple steps. It's always so measured. That's I finally noticed that's how you do your jokes. Like you're about to do a thing and go dating's weird. Before I go on stage, like side stage, nobody sees me, but I go like this.
Starting point is 00:18:20 You chalk and he goes, my butt showing. Let's do this. So was your mom, I mean, she spends savings on you. Yeah. Was she bummed out when you're like, I don't want to do gymnastics anymore. I think after spending approximately 11 hours at a meet on a Saturday, she was like, I think that's okay for me to stop. She's like, I want a new TV.
Starting point is 00:18:39 She goes, absolutely, retire. And then also, you know, there are certain sports that are gonna be for rich kids. Like, that costs money for the leotards or the equipment, or the sticks or whatever it is. So yeah, the long meet, my sisters came to one and they were like, bye. That's so funny.
Starting point is 00:18:57 And then ballet, they're like, at least you could see a show. Yeah, exactly. And so it was just sort of like, everyone accepted that I was like, kind of getting too tall and a bit of a frankly was to do some of the bigger things. But then you're also becoming a lady. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:11 And you didn't want that. And I was like, maybe now I'll get my period if I stop doing gymnastics. Cause I feel like with gymnasts, they're like 17 and they're like, I'm 17 years old and I'm from Duluth, Minnesota. And you're like, you're not, you are being pushed down. You are being like.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Kept in a jar. It's crazy, yeah, and they're like, no lady, time for you. Do you think those girls, when they get their period, they like get their period? Cause it's just gushing, it's a geyser and then shot to the ceiling. Their ovaries and uteral lining are like.
Starting point is 00:19:45 No, honestly, I feel like it's like stone soup. Like just squeezing a little blood out of this one by one. I thought it would be like, you know, on SNL, would they put a tube up their sleeve to throw up? That happens when they say I'm officially retired from gymnastics. And I am no longer going to be a gymnast. I need officially retired from gymnastics. Oh man, do I love my tushy. That's right, I love my own tush, but also the tushy bidet. It's unbelievable.

Oh, terribly unhealthy. That's like, that's all kinds of stache stuff is going on. I mean, stache, I mean. Stache to the max. I know friends 12s and like what was the What yeah, you don't even know multiplication around each other she's just dating a senior she's like Okay, all right, okay. Yeah. Anyways, we're going to homecoming I remember when I was in high school the hottest girl like Katie and I were just talking about this like when you was in high school, the hottest girl, like Katie and I were just talking about this.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Like when you go to high school, there's like rumors of how hot girls are from other middle schools. That's what like boys talk about. We got an incoming. And they were like, this girl Angie was like, talked about, like we'd go to the movies. Like that was like kind of like the first celebrity.
Starting point is 00:24:20 I don't know what she's up to now. I don't know, she follows me on Instagram. She likes posts of mine. I became friends with her in high school. I genuinely was like excited by that. But she, um, it's pretty crazy. I feel like I got to take my shoes off just so I can get, I gotta get comfortable. Not, you know, um, also I feel like all those kids watching, they're not, they don't have foot fetishes yet. So don't worry about it's also socks on.
Starting point is 00:24:40 I'll put you got a bunch of grown men watching this. When you said socks, but oh God damn it. I thought we fucking had. They were listening and they went to YouTube. Oh, nevermind. Nah, fuck this dude. I'm gonna go listen to something else. But I remember in middle school, like the hype of girls from other schools.
Starting point is 00:24:57 All of a sudden it smells like brie cheese. I can't smell. So you can fucking let it loose. No, no, no, it doesn't. So you can fart around me. You can't smell it all? At all. I talk about it a lot on stage.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Wait, maybe you mentioned it last night. Yeah, I can't talk about it. I mean, I can't smell. I can't smell at all. Katie's like- Ever? Or was it a COVID thing? Oh no, it was COVID.
Starting point is 00:25:18 It was COVID. And it didn't come back? No, but I'm fine with it. I don't care. I don't really give a shit. Honestly, if I were- It was very dull before COVID. Yeah, as your girlfriend, I'd be like, no, yeah, I just showered.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Everything's cool. Oh, no. Katie, like I told her, there became a point where I go, you can fart. Like I don't, that's great. It does nothing. It's purely funny. It's like purely funny, but okay. Sorry, sorry. So when you're in middle school and you like quit gymnastics, what's crazy is like girls getting boobs changed. Like that changes that like has to change your life. But the jealousy. Oh God, I was so jealous of these girls. You know exactly who you almost had me. Ashley Ashley. She's still hot. But yeah. Okay, but speaking of her, sorry. And then now you find out she has like spina bifida.
Starting point is 00:26:07 No, she's still hot, she's doing great. Cause she had giant tits. I think she's actually an agent. Sorry if you're listening. That's so funny. Hot, why sorry? We were talking about how you're in your great boobs. Okay, but did you guys do this?
Starting point is 00:26:18 The rumors of hookups and stuff. And one of the rumors was like, did you hear like, Ryan sucked Tina's tits? That was like a rumor of like, like tits sucking. I remember French kissing being like, they Frenched. And you're like. The tits sucking thing you might, like from my mom, what are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:26:36 You also don't realize how close you are to sucking your mom's tits. Like you're so, you're so close to that. That you're like, what do you do in seventh grade? Cause like, I can't imagine being a little boy, like how do you suck tits as a little boy? You're like, you don't even know what you're doing. You're like as a man, you know to sputtle around
Starting point is 00:26:54 if I can get in there. But like as a little boy, you're not like, that's gotta be weird. I was always like, in seventh grade, and I had a bit on my HBO special, it was true, I used to like play with action figures still and smoke cigarettes. So it's this weird cross section where you're like,
Starting point is 00:27:15 I'm doing adult shit, but I'm a little boy. Exactly, there is that, yes. For example, we were, my dad would somehow let me get like Cosmo Magazine or something. Crazy. And Big Leg Chew. And it just feels- We got two bags in the kitchen if you want some.
Starting point is 00:27:31 It feels weird picking up your American Girl doll after reading an article on how to touch the perineum. You know what I mean? That's so funny. How to milk your man. And then you're like, oh, baby's little poopsie needs new shoes. And you're like, that's that, that's,
Starting point is 00:27:44 I mean, but that's how it was. I was ripping a Marlboro Red and being like, yeah, I think to Tonka is going to take on Undertaker. And I really was like, that was like the real thing. When I tell people that joke, it's like, no, I wasn't a joke. That was really what I was doing. I remember we were going, like my friends were already, we were in middle school.
Starting point is 00:28:02 My friends were already starting to smoke weed. And I remember we had a gate in my backyard, my stepdad before he left, like made a gate in our back fence because my bus stop was right behind my house. So instead of walking all the way around, he just like made this gate, this like tiny little gate in my back fence.
Starting point is 00:28:21 That's nice. But then my friends found out about it and they're like, oh, can we cut through your house? And I remember like, it wasn't even going to school. We were like cutting through my house for something. And I had a wicker basket filled with my guys, all my guys. And I had like a blanket over it and fucking Scott Thompson, shout out Scott Thompson.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I talked to him, lives in Seattle, comes out to the shows, we're still buddies. Thank you for the sales. He saw like a leg of a toy and then went, Shout out Scott Thompson. I talked to him, lives in Seattle, comes out to the shows. We're still buddies. Thank you. He saw like a leg of a toy and then went, Dan still plays with toys and spilled the whole thing in front of like all the cool kids. And I went, Oh, I think we're getting rid of those. And then they left and I was putting it back in.
Starting point is 00:29:00 I was like, I'm so sorry guys. I'll be back. Sorry. We got a war to fight on the stairs later, but I I was like, I'm so sorry guys, I'll be back. Sorry you had to hear that. Sorry, we got a war to fight on the stairs later. But I hope, I'm so sorry. But I remember being like, you are at this moment where you're like wanting adulthood, but you're also a kid, so.
Starting point is 00:29:15 And I had older sisters, you were only child, so that created probably more mystery for you. Yeah, it was like a bubble. I think it created a lot of fear, but I also think it created a lot of a- You guys had, you probably had your friends where like, you know, you can't get pregnant if you have sex in a hot tub.
Starting point is 00:29:31 And he's like, what? You told you that. Pour soda in the girl's pussy and then she can't get it. And you're like, that sounds horrible. That science on that sounds rickety. But I feel like older kids, I don't know. I felt like maybe I had a little more knowledge, even though they're doing it, saying
Starting point is 00:29:43 and doing dumb stuff too. Yeah, but you watched them. Yeah. Especially your oldest sister. Period wise, for example, like we were talking about, it's like, at least I wasn't like, oh, what is this? Or I tried to do things faster. Like I shaved my legs in third grade and I started underneath the ankle bone.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Really? I locked myself in the bathroom when my mom was like at some sort of conference. And I took, you know, speaking of single mom and like at some sort of conference and I took you know Speaking of single mom and like we're working on a budget here. We had daisy razors Oh, yeah, the freaking plastic basically like a might as well have been a shard of glass. How bad did you cut yourself? Oh so bad. I started underneath here and went up no water. No Dry cut it. I freaking basically committed suicide Suicide which sister found you Megan bang You dry cut it? I freaking basically committed suicide, attempted suicide.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Which sister found you? Megan, she banged, I locked myself in there banging on the door like, let in, just show us what it is. I mean, oh. When you showed it to them, were they like bang? Jesus Christ, and then of course, I had this huge bandage to wear to school the next week
Starting point is 00:30:40 and people were like, what happened? I'm like, cut myself shaving. There's like just one strip of hair missing, the rest is just like a beast. So funny. I got caught in I'm like, cut myself shaving. There's like just one strip of hair missing the rest is just like a beach. So funny. I got caught in a bear trap. Cut myself shaving. I was fucking running from the law and a bear trap. Got me with your sisters. Did you feel comfortable like going to Megan and being like, hey, when am I
Starting point is 00:30:57 gonna get my period? Did you ever like check in with them? Like like a little like a manager like a house manager. I know I'm trying to remember they definitely looked out for me like they did cool stuff. Megan, like a house manager. I know, I'm trying to remember. They definitely looked out for me. Like they did cool stuff. Megan's like, was a senior when I was a seventh grader. And so some of her guy friends. She's an adult. Yeah, and some of her guy friends,
Starting point is 00:31:13 like I remember Marty Coats, like. Shout out Marty Coats. On my birthday of seventh grade, whatever that would have been, 13, 12. 12. Yeah, walked me to my classes. Like he was so hot. He was like a football player. They made a sign from like a locker sign with pennies taped to it. Like my,
Starting point is 00:31:30 my middle sister Hannah's friends, uh, Donnie's Umarski like made me this. You know what I mean? They were just like, they looked out for me. I was, I wasn't like an embarrassment to them. I was kind of the funny. Yeah. Yeah. You're the mascot. You're the mascot of the family. Yes, I would do anything wild. Like this is bringing back memories. Remember when you asked me, like, what do you remember? I'm like, it's true. I was wild.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Yeah, you're a fair little kid and you're being funny. Yeah. So when you're funny, you get to be crazier. I was wild. Because people trust that where you're going is funny. Not like mentally disturbed. They're not like, oh, this kid's fucked up. They're like, all right, this kid's funny.
Starting point is 00:32:07 But like having that, having that like older kid, I mean, he's on the cusp of being 18. Yeah. And he like walks you to class and he's like, have a good class. And you're like, extreme boat. But like, it's so funny because I've had friends with older siblings and they really do like, they'll do a thing where they know you're a kid, but they like treat you like oh watch out. You're getting cute
Starting point is 00:32:29 I might ask you to prom and then you're like this is all I'm gonna think about for exactly Oh, I'm just gonna be obsessed with it. I'll be writing Beth Coats in my diary I wonder I wonder what we're gonna be like when we're married. Yes. I have such a crush. I have those diaries and they are disturbing. Oh, you've, oh, I mean, that's awesome. I have all of them, yeah. Oh my God. It's like says what I want. There's also some disturbing things, of course,
Starting point is 00:32:53 that are like go tanning, lose weight. Oh, dude, I, my mom. Do crunches, you know what I mean? I'm like, oh God. I didn't have a diary, but my mom found these cards when she was cleaning out of like stuff that I used to tape up on my like cork board or whatever. And one of it, it was like, stop being so depressed.
Starting point is 00:33:12 And I was like, I was like, what the fuck? Dude, I think I have, I can find it pretty quick. My mom was like, how sad were you? And I was like, I didn't think that bad. My mom was like, did I not give you a good life? And you're like, I didn't think that bad. Yeah. I don't remember. My mom was like, did I not give you a good life? And you're like, no, you gave me a great life. I have no idea. Dude, my mom was like, I was cleaning this out and I found this. And you're like, this is fucking wild. It was just like these, these like handwritten note cards. Cause a diary, you find it and you're like, here we go.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Yeah. Scott Thompson is going to find that until everyone. Scott Thompson, dude, shout out him for exposing my toys. I don't know what you created in me, but. I mean, there were so many freaking hilarious rumors though back then. Like I said, the Sucking Ted thing's kind of in the realm of like, that makes sense. I remember this rumor about one of the kids,
Starting point is 00:33:57 cause guys are starting to jerk off, was that he couldn't come unless he was by the window and ripped the shades up. That was a rumor about a kid. That's by the way, that's a very mature nut. To have that be your activation, pretty ripped up, pretty sophisticated. You got to be a real older perv.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Exhibitionist, really? Yeah. He's like, look at me, jerk it off. It's so funny when his mom's like, why are the blinds broken? He goes, I don't know, but we're going to need new blinds by tomorrow. I'm already full again. Did you ever think, did you ever think like Megan's friends were gonna like when you dropped you off, like when coats drops you off, are you like, when coats drops you off, are you like, here we go? Yeah. Like this is, if I look hot enough tomorrow, they're telling me there's a change.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna wear my wet seal top. That's a little bit lower and my mom's water bra. Uh-oh, uh-oh, looks like I just found a new husband. And this kid's like to your sister, he's like, I want her to see you. He's like, all right, come on, Beth. And you're like, I love you.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Yes, there was totally that feeling that I actually had a chance. Dude, I remember one of my best friends still this day, Foo Jack, his older sister, Sarah. She was only two years older than us. But in high school, that's, it might as well be a decade. And her hot friends would come around. And it would be like, I would try to be charming,
Starting point is 00:35:24 but I was like, 13, 14. And so you're be like, I would try to be charming, but I was like 13, 14. And so you're just like, how are you doing? And one of them goes, you don't stop talking, huh? And I was like, what? We were like, I remember specifically, we were- Can I get anybody a Coke? We were sitting in their basement and Sarah and her friend Jackie, oh, I got you.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Sorry, sorry, I keep fooling my stuff. Sorry, I'm a fidgeter. Same here. I fidget all the time. Is this good, like up? You're perfect. Is that all right? Sorry everyone.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Check the camera. But, because I don't care about politics. So when you see friends of yours that don't care they get into it, you're like, what are you doing? What are you doing? Okay, so sorry. But I remember sitting. You talk a lot.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Dude, I remember. Okay. There it is. I remember specifically sitting. You talk a lot. Dude, I remember. Okay. There it is. I remember specifically sitting in Foo Jack's basement with him, his sister Sarah and her friend Jackie who had a crazy big crush on him. Huge crush on Jackie. It was like such a longing.
Starting point is 00:36:19 It was like. It overpowered everything. At such a young age, you're like, I'll give you everything you want in this life. Exactly. We had nothing to distract us and literally nothing. You just be writing about it, thinking about them. I'd be like, what you're going to wear. You'd be at a house party. She'd be there. I'd be like, Oh, I think it's going to happen. And then she'd be like,
Starting point is 00:36:37 Hi. You have no fucking idea. I remember we were sitting in the basement and I remember this very specifically. They're like, Soder can't be around when it's quiet. And then they were quiet and I'd be like, so what are you guys doing? And they're like laughing.
Starting point is 00:36:55 And I was like, I love you so much. But I just remember because you're like facing that thing of you're about to jump into being an adult. It's crazy because you want it to happen so fast. I know you become an adult and you're like, fuck, I wish I would have taken an extra lap. Also agreed. And also just the way we grew up, you know, separate, but similar in some ways,
Starting point is 00:37:16 which is like you are exposed to bigger ideas and new experiences that you wouldn't if you were in probably like the typical nuclear family where things were just sort of a little more steady, easy going. Yeah. And so you do grow up, I guess the term is, you know, you grew up a little faster cause you're exposed to life events. You're seeing your mom go through things that people aren't seeing their mom go through.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Oh, and I'd go hang out with my dad and I'd hear the way they talked. My dad was just like, no kid should have been around him. Yeah. And then I would like go, but I always remember I'm in bars with my dad and his like boots. They're like, we're going to be right back. Well, they go do the boots scoot and buggy. I mean, my sister just like, oh, I'd go with my dad. I mean, my dad was a station Orlando, Florida alone at the blackjack table. That's so fucking funny.
Starting point is 00:37:58 My dad was a bartender, so I was just at the bar or he worked at a liquor store. So I'd be at the liquor store. So I was around the adults. So I picked up how they talked.. So I was around the adults. So I picked up how they talked. But that was also very funny. So I liked watching my dad be funny. So I'd be like, because you make me laugh
Starting point is 00:38:12 and I wouldn't even know the jokes. I know. I would just be like, oh, that's, I know that's funny. Yes. I know it as like, I can feel the timing of it. So then I would come back and like be comfortable making my friend's parents laugh. Yes. And you're like, this little kid is like. making my friends parents laugh. Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:25 And you're like, this little kid is like relating to me more. Yeah. I remember feeling that was my best friend, Amanda's dad. He was like, just so tickled with me, like, cause we connected. Well, you're also like show an adult, your sense of humor. And they go like, Oh, you're funny.
Starting point is 00:38:39 I've seen that with my friends, kids where I've been like, Oh, your kid's funny. Like your kid understands jokes. Cause I'm like, and you're like, Oh, your kid's funny. Like your kid understands jokes. Cause I'm like, yeah, you know? And I think like when, when that happens, when you like learn how to socialize with adults, when you're a kid, you want the kid thing to be over faster. That's what fucks you up. The feeling is really cool.
Starting point is 00:39:00 It would feel a little cringe watching myself. Like we obviously couldn't afford a camcorder, so I'm not like watching home videos. But I think it would be cringe to see myself, but at the time I was killing. And it gave me the confidence I needed to probably go on to be a comic. And I was so outgoing. That's what I'm saying, being more shy as an adult,
Starting point is 00:39:17 it's strange for me. Because I was so outgoing. When you had to give your little name, acronym thing, it would be like bombastic, exciting, tenacious. How are you working? Let me get a voice off in school. Let me get one of my voices off and not get in trouble.
Starting point is 00:39:35 I lived in the hallway. I lived, go sit out in the hallway. I fucking, if I knew something killed, if I got sent to the hallway, I'd be like, that's a closer baby. They can't fucking follow this. Follow this with social studies, you dorky bitch, you suco. You can't even follow how funny I am. But we were doing a lot of references, I think.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Like, I think now there is such a difference because what we've done is become comics with original material. Sure. That's actually how a way I've gotten through to my dad because he does a lot of still trying to like repeat stuff or movie quotes. Yeah and I'm sort of like so I actually got through to him recently and it has he's forever changed. Really? Yeah I said because he'll talk to me and have respect for my job and I'll be like but you know what I do is like it's from my head. I make it up. I
Starting point is 00:40:23 make it up and he's like, oh yeah. I never thought about it like that because we did get those laughs and I'm not shading it But it's like are you the funniest in your group because you're being like you're my boy blue Or you know like but I also think sometimes people criticize like they'll be like little kids aren't funny anymore But then I saw like little kids a big trend with younger kids was doing that sex but then I saw like little kids, a big trend with younger kids was doing that sex. Oh yeah. Oh I know. And I immediately was like, I would have done that.
Starting point is 00:40:48 I would have been all over that in seventh grade. I would have been in math class being like, oh. I probably would have. Who did that? And I would have been like, fucking killing. Yes of course. I used to make myself pass out to make kids laugh.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Oh that thing? Yeah. That joke. Yeah. Dude I remember I woke up. I did this all the time. Oh, the DX socket. I remember making myself pass out and getting up and being like, I remember in chemistry class, they had different colors, things of, uh, in the test tubes. Dude just did shots just down the line. Also great preview for a up and coming alcoholic.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Because I remember being like, they were like, you don't even know what's in there. And I was like, brother, you don't know my family. We can walk through liquid. But it is, and like, so what's interesting is like, you were talking about how you were like wanting boobs so bad. Do you think you were more jealous of girls that got boobs in middle school
Starting point is 00:41:47 or people getting deals in comedy? What jealousy was? What do you feel like? Like the same way when you came to school after summer and you noticed Tiffany came with boobs or when you went on your phone and saw a deadline article where you go like, I got a pilot every day. It's like, Oh, that's all, that's all being comedy. Being a comic in the age of social media is just waiting for boobs and watching
Starting point is 00:42:21 everyone get giant tits. and watching everyone get giant tits. I wanted tits. They got these fucking things. I've been waiting for tits for so long. I want them tits. I'm the one who's gonna use them. They don't even know what to do with those tits. Oh, by the way, those tits are gonna be gone
Starting point is 00:42:33 right out of there. But they, yeah, I mean, like the jealousy. I think it was boobs. I mean, it's gotta be. Because as comics, all we can do is like, you know, I think we have pretty good attitudes. It's one of those things where I'm like, obviously I would like certain things.
Starting point is 00:42:50 I think that's every business. Every business, like people want a promotion. They want like, that's all I want. But it is frustrating to see, of course, sometimes your goal is to be like, eh, there's room for everybody. But yeah, sometimes when you see a deadline article for somebody or they win an award and you're like, what? What the fuck? What? That's what that's what I
Starting point is 00:43:07 imagined. And I'm not on it. But that's what I imagine what LinkedIn's like. Like LinkedIn, you're like, he's a fucking CFO. That fucking guy sucked when he was group project manager. I know I was just gonna say all they did was stay after class and kiss the professors. That's all like LinkedIn would drive me nuts if I wasn't in comedy. That's like that's their inst- like if you work an office job or in a corporation and you're on LinkedIn, you're like this fucking guy got a promotion. This fucking guy.
Starting point is 00:43:36 CFO of what? But just know your tits are coming. Your titties are coming. Your boobs are about to pop out. Keep eating cornbread baby. I also think that's gotta be a weird thing for a little girl to be like, I want boobs. And then what if you get like giant tits
Starting point is 00:43:50 and you're like, stop, stop, stop. Stop, stop, oh my God. Like just keep growing. I mean, I really did. I joke about it, but I say I grew my boobs in college with ice cream. And I mean, like I did technically. It is weight, it is fat, like you know.
Starting point is 00:44:07 But it took a while because the gymnastics really tamped him down. I mean they just pushed you down. They're like no ladies. These packs were just keeping him back. You were just jacked. You're like I don't know but I feel safe with Beth. I feel very safe.
Starting point is 00:44:20 She's got a giant scar on her leg. I just feel like Spanish. And he's sniffing a fire and I'm carrying my mom out over my shoulder. You go, uh, do you need me to get up on that third level with those stairs? Yeah. The core strength on stelling is fucking unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Now, when you got into field hockey, did you feel like that scratched the itch that gymnastics left? It was actually, so the interim sport, or some people argue with that, was cheerleadingleading because I was still able to tumble. So this is the funniest part. And you were in a pom-pom. No, I was the only one who could tumble. So literally at seventh grade basketball games, because I stopped in sixth grade when I was like, I can't hack it like that.
Starting point is 00:45:00 I would go out and do like six back handsprings. Sick. And then the girls on my team afterwards who couldn't tumble would be like, yeah, after me. That's sick. I'd go boom, boom, boom, boom, boom into the center. And they'd be like, yes. You're MVP.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Yeah, you're MVP. I felt very cool. Because they really did. They were like. Still no tits. So I didn't have as much bargaining power as I wanted. But they don't give you your ass in the back. But I was out there.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Yeah. I was doing back handsprings. Yeah. Your cheerleading squad. That was my transition into filling that sort of like, oh, I, this translates to something else. I belong, I have currency. Yes. Yeah. But then it became like, I wanted to play field hockey and I couldn't cheer for the sports that conflicted with the fall team. And then I wanted to do speech and debate, the speech humorous
Starting point is 00:45:40 category. So then I couldn't cheer for basketball. So cheerleading was kind of short lived. And then I. And all those other girls were like, fuck we gotta learn how to tumble. Yeah. Oh fuck. No they're like, thankfully she's gone. We don't have to do that anymore.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Cause they'd be like, best do you think? And then you're like. And they're like, great, go. That's so funny. You did all the work for the group project. You did all the work for the group project. I was kind of like that. So when you get all the work for the group project. You did all the work for the group project. So when you get to field hockey and you play it, it does it feel like,
Starting point is 00:46:12 Oh, I finally found my place. Yes. I love field hockey. I started in third grade. Oh damn. On the floor. Like we played on the gym floor first, like sort of. So you're doing gymnastics and field hockey. Yes. And that was like, uh, I think that was winter when we started in third grade. And that was actually the thing that I followed my sisters in because they kind of would do a lot of the same things, but that was the one thing we all did. Was field hockey. So the Stellings were a field hockey team. We were.
Starting point is 00:46:31 And it all actually kind of started because Megan didn't make the soccer team, which was kind of the popular thing at the time. Like to make the soccer team in the nineties, it was like the big deal. Dude, soccer in the nineties. Yes. And it's popular now.
Starting point is 00:46:42 And I understand it's popular now, but fucking soccer in the 90s um, bro Yeah, and Adidas um bro shorts exactly and fucking Adidas were like Top tier like soccer for me like middle school in the beginning of high school soccer was like the biggest Yeah, if you played football, it was like yeah football took over but Soccer was so fucking big. I bet middle school's always big for soccer. I bet three years it's never dropped.
Starting point is 00:47:09 And if you think about it too, it's nice because it just requires the ball. Like anybody can kind of show up and kick it around. By shin guards, cleats, and you go to soccer ball and you can play it. But so she so Megan didn't make it. And she was like, OK, then I'll try out for the field team. And she ended up being really great. She ended up she was good at it, but also ended up being the team captain. She did. What was it called futures? I think that she thought about playing in college

Because I got cheated on and he saw how fucking crushed
Starting point is 00:52:38 I was. So he called her house and there was no cell phones, all landlines.

And my mom was like, I'm not going to say the girl's name, but Mr. called you are never allowed to talk to her again. He has blocked our number. You're never allowed to call her again. They needed an apology, like all this shit.

And I was like, McDaniel is going to do a little bit of covering up for the Miami. Well, I'm just saying he's going to go to war for you. Just make sure you check a phone record.
Starting point is 00:54:14 But that was like if you're in the McDaniels family, press star state. Just let him start. Six, seven. Yeah, but it was like one of those moments where it was a friend, truly standing up for me at a moment where I was fucking destroyed. And I remember just being like,

He didn't see war. He didn't see that much heat. We love him. And he fought for the country. But he was so regimented. And we apparently used more than two squares of toilet paper.
Starting point is 00:56:13 You better believe. He went in there. I don't know what happened. Maybe we clogged the toilet. I have no clue. I just remember as a child reaching into the toilet and picking out toilet paper. Yes! Yes! Thankfully, I was just pissed. But wow.
