You don't have any tattoos either?
No.
I do. I have one.
I love you.
Mine was actually free too, and that's what I was laughing about that. Mine was free and it's good.
I got it though because I served a guy free coffee the whole time I worked at Starbucks.
And he worked at a tattoo shop.
No, you got it because he wanted to fuck you.
Well, maybe. But I didn't have to fuck him and I still got the tattoo.
I figured you do. I just wanted to make sure
you were out.
That must be horrible.
First of all... That was in Tampa.
Yeah, it's horrible growing up here.
Put the mic in your...
How much
of...
How much do you enjoy
what you get away with
because someone wants to fuck you versus how much you have to give up because someone's just trying to fuck you?
It has to be a balance.
You say it's hard being a fucking hot chick.
It was a Chris Rock bit.
One of those bits that as a comic you go, fuck, why did I never think of that?
Whereas a hot chick is the same as a celebrity you get all the free shit but you also get mobbed and someone sits down they're
not interested in you they want to fuck yeah it sucks it sucks because there's people that
like i'm cool with i want to hang with, but then it's like their only motive is to get in my pants.
And it's not cool.
Like I can provide myself with beer and drugs and whatever.
I don't need someone else to do that for me.
And I fuck myself just fine.
Like I at least know that I'm going to get myself off.
But you know,
it is annoying.
Like I can't go out to a bar and just have a beer without someone sitting down.
And I had a guy literally sit down the other day and write a Theodore Roosevelt speech in calligraphy.
Then he read it to me and asked me out to dinner.
That guy's got game.
No, he doesn't, because I didn't go get dinner with him.
Like, he didn't.
He didn't go get dinner with him like he he didn't he didn't i i uh and i was with uh i don't know
if it was bingo or renee but i was sitting at a sushi bar in london where i heard someone talking
about bukowski at another table and i wrote out uh something i i can i've memorized from notes from a dirty old man from
Bukowski and I wrote it out
long form on a cocktail napkin
and I handed it to her
but it was the opposite
it was one of those things where I go
I'm not trying to hit on you
I'm with a girl but it looks like
I'm hitting on you by writing something
out like that so it does work both
ways where you hate when you have to say I'm hitting on you by writing something out like that. So it does work both ways where you hate when you have to say, I'm not trying to fuck you because that's what you say when you're trying to fuck someone, too.
So but the benefits, the benefits, you just showed your free tattoo you got.
Well, but I also gave that guy free coffee and tea for about six months.
That guy could afford coffee.
Well, yeah, but I could have afforded the tattoo.
That's what we're talking about.
But there has to be times where it plays into your...
No, it definitely does.
I told my dad there was a point where I was drinking so heavily,
and I was like, Dad, even if I want to quit, it's hard,
because even if I don't have money, and I'm not that way, because even if I don't have money and I'm not that way but even
if I don't have access to alcohol
like I can go to a bar
and some guy will pay
my entire time like I could be
that's why I do comedy and go home by
myself and
and fucking not have to deal with any
of it I go to Denny's and I go you charge
me for the coke I'm
a comic.
That's not universal?
No, but it's definitely interesting and it is a double-edged sword, but
I actually took up going on Tinder
recently trying to look for some comedy material.
So many people had talked about it. I was like, maybe it'll be
funny and I met some of the nicest guys.
Like, it's fucked up how nice these guys are.
They, like, don't even invite me back.
They pay the bar tab.
And I'm like, no, here, take money.
Like, here's some cash.
Nope, they won't take it.
Like, super nice.
It's ridiculous.
You just set your standards really low before this.
I always have low standards.
Like, I'm from Daytona.
You got to understand.
Yeah, this is my first time here.
I've heard this place is horrible.
I've only been in this room and another room and down the block, so I'm all right with it.
It's rough, man.
Tell them what the nickname is.
ma'am oh i uh i nickname my pussy the government assistance program for all the losers i help out hey they're gonna get signed to a label soon i i initially with the gap you know i'm hoping
someone gets some government cheese this month first of all this, if you're trying to work out material,
you better bring that shit back to that late night open mic.
That thing was crazy last night.
I heard there was a fist fight after we left.
Yeah,
pretty much right after you left.
Who was it?
Andy can't.
Andy has a store.
There's a fist fight.
And then I don't know.
I didn't have a dog in the fight.
No matter.
Ian,
Ian Perna.
He's a local comedian and another don't know. I didn't have a dog in the fight. Ian Perna, he's a local comedian
and another guy
named John. And I have no idea
what happened because I was out back.
Hopefully the comic that was
involved was the one that brought
Sean Rouse
to get shitty blow and ripped him
off. I don't
know. I'm not sure.
Anyway.
Let me get back to the the question would you trade ugly for being treated as an equal yeah actually i would because i i can
provide for myself and i don't need other people offering me food and drink and drugs and podcast time well i mean you know i might
trade it for the podcast time but you know the beer and stuff i couldn't i couldn't i couldn't
afford the podcast time with you i guess financially but uh everything else i got i got
well now that you're shaved by the way i haven't even introduced you because I can't remember your name.
Yeah, you keep calling me Becky.
My name's actually Amanda Michelle.
Amanda Michelle and at Twitter, on Twitter?
I'm actually on Facebook and Instagram.
I'm not on Twitter yet.
You're not on Twitter yet?
I got to get on Twitter.
Well, you probably need a better act.
Well, no, I'm not on Twitter yet. You're not on Twitter yet? I got to get on Twitter. Well, you probably need a better act. Well, no, I'm saying.
Or some hot pictures.
I don't know your act.
I don't know your act.
If you were established enough in comedy, you'd probably already be on Twitter.
But you're new to comedy.
I've only been doing it for three years and seriously for two.
The first year, i kind of was just
fucking around and then i was like you know what i really like this and i i quit my job and
basically just did comedy and i did a little bit of random work on the side but lived off of like
four grand last year and just made comedy my only thing just i enjoy it and like i i sucked really bad when i started i'm not saying i'm great
now but there's a point where like i just enjoy doing it and i'll keep doing it until yeah there
there's video that someone put out and found for me five years in when i thought I was good, that's embarrassing. It's horrible.
That Hedberg thing.
That video, you guys in Minnesota?
Yeah, 95.
Yeah.
Once you think you're good, stop thinking that.
Yeah.
And keep trying harder.
Yeah, try harder.
I think that's part of doing comedy, and I think that's why I like it.
It's almost like a masochistic thing where you always have to hate yourself
because otherwise you're never going to get better and you're never going to be good enough because no one else is going to push you and he's still after 30 years tapes his sets and listens
to him and hates himself and uh that's why he's still the best comic i'd rather be mediocre and
enjoy my life at some point you go all right how much am i giving up to amuse shitheads that are
just drunk in the bar uh but yes you you have to hate yourself enough to keep trying.
Yeah, you have to push yourself.
It's definitely...
Or just stop doing it.
This is from a guy who's basically stopped doing it
and then built a bar to entertain shitheads
at his own house on his own property.
Yeah.
In context, it's a little different.
Shot clog.
We should every now and then remind people what a shot clog is.
A shot clog is someone that you put up with because they're buying drinks.
That's why we call it the shot clog podcast, because I'm buying the drinks and luring all my friends over against their will just because there's free booze.
And they'll fucking be guests just to drink or watch football.
So where are you performing next other than –
Oh, wait.
I was going to say we rape-shaved her before.
Yeah, that should definitely make it onto the podcast.
Yeah, that was interesting.
I forget her name already.
Amanda.
Amanda.
All right.
I was trying to get the plug out for her Twitter or Facebook.
Amanda Michelle is your Facebook?
Yeah.
You're the only one?
Yeah, we'll do that.
Doug, why don't you figure out her Twitter handle?
She shouldn't leave here without getting a Twitter account.
We'll figure that out. It's a 10-minute
podcast. We can't sit here and brainstorm.
Amanda Michelle
showed up
slinky dress last night,
cream-colored, no underwear.
Yeah, we've already
established that she's pretty cute, and then she was
in a sea of just
ugly dudes, basically.
She might not even
be that hot. We've only just been around
ugly dudes a few days.
When you say cute, it was in comparison.
Relatively speaking.
It was in comparison to Damon Figgler.
Don't get a fucking big head about yourself.
And every other guy that's seen a poodle.
But she showed up today in a sleeveless
outfit with fucking hairier pits than mine.
Just like Maggie.
Several of us were really disillusioned.
Like Maggie, the cave hippie woman from the earlier podcast in Bisbee.
So I just rape shaved her.
I pulled out my trimmers.
I went, get over here.
We didn't put her in a bathroom because that seemed creepy.
We did it in public.
There's a filthy pile of hair right in front of everybody.
So, yeah, we rape shaved her armpits.
But she put up with it.
And she's a fun gal, a funny girl.
The government cheese in your pussy bit you try to work on us.
You try to work a bit.
Tell me you've never said that on stage.
I have. You never work bits at the table, lady.
Thanks.
There's no professional comics in this town to tell you.
You never work bits at the table.
There's no apprenticeship.
Like Kyle over there.
He's got an apprenticeship.
Especially when everyone's trying to bang you.
You don't say, oh, government cheese in my pussy.
Well, that's kind of why I say it.
Because, you know, once again, I don't want everybody trying to bang me, you know?
It'll work.
I figure between the hairy armpits and the government cheese and the herpes, it'll work.
Wait until no
one's trying to bang you.
Because that's coming. You go, I'd rather
be ugly and have a normal
conversation. Ugly's
coming your way, way sooner than
you think. Because ladies
age like hot mayonnaise
in the sun.
And yeah, then you're gonna
go, wait, no one's trying to bang me.
I was kidding about the government cheese in my pussy.
Anyone?
Anyone is kidding.
And then you're like, lady, I will never mention or tweet back to.
That's a 10 minute podcast.
And she'll know I'm talking about her and still pretend I wasn't talking about her.
All right.
That's a that's a podcast.
