Starting point is 00:01:47 Let's get into the episode Oh, I'm just sitting on your front porch wondering how could I be so far from my Oh, and my mind is somewhere else, but when I find it, I'll patch up where it's been Now I'm just on the breeze and I feel I'm falling like these leaves. I must be Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this piece of mind. I found I can see it In my bones But it's gonna take a little time For me to set that parking brake and let myself on my side

Starting point is 00:03:03 Oh, wow, thank you. Hello. Hello everyone. I'm coming to you. It is Monday, May 6 in a year two thousand and one nine 2019 we're calling it or two zero one nine for people that just do individual numbers But still keep time This is it. This is where we are You know, this is where we are this is where I am. That's what I'm realizing a little bit today. This is where I am Damn You know sometime and I don't like making decisions man this hat thing I couldn't do I go had do I go no hat and

Starting point is 00:04:09 Then I started thinking at least men we have that option You got that get out of You got that get out of if your hair looks if your hair is looking a little ugly and the more you got that get out of ugly free card That hat you put the hat on a hat is just a small apartment for your head Once you get inside a hat, it's almost like being indoors a little bit and that's what I've always enjoyed the most about a hat is That you put a hat on and suddenly It's like you're indoors a little bit it's like you got a little

Starting point is 00:04:50 you know like um You got a little more a little more between you and the world you got a little bit of You know, I like being a little bit more comforted. I'm that comforted cat Some cats you see them out there on the power lines walking the power lines and doing cigarettes and You know, maybe they uh, they'll get their tail corn road And they're out there and fucking you know doing dice and shit like that and and hanging out all you know Out in Philadelphia or different places, you know, but I'm that comfort cat I like to have a little bit of a hat on sometimes, you know, I like to put you know

Starting point is 00:05:31 Sometimes I'll put a little bit of cotton in my shirt. I'll empty a bag of cotton into my shirt So people can't see it out here, but I'm comforted. I Got that extra go on happening. I got that at you know You know, I got that I got that that fluff inside of me. Just just I need a little bit more comfort You know, sometimes I used to have a neighbor and he was Real real big guy and they called him his name was Wayne, but they called him fat Wayne I didn't call him that his dad did actually but and uh,

Starting point is 00:06:03 I'd sleep over at his house sometimes and we'd sleep in his bed We was laying his bed, you know, because he lived there and he had it and that's where he kept his bed, obviously and we would lay in his bed and When he fell asleep, you couldn't wake him up You thought he was dead until he woke up and he may have been dead He may not even have actually gone to sleep at night. He may have died and Then just just risen every morning, you know, maybe he just had those religious You know, he just zoned out and then re-zoned back in

Starting point is 00:06:40 but He would when so and he would fall asleep it, you know, you could you could put things on his back You could do um, you know, you could play soldiers on his back and do little, you know The army coming up over here up over to uh, you know, the scapula and then the other, you know You could do fighters, you know Rambo versus, you know, She-Ra and Um And you could do different stuff like that On his back, you know, you could do whatever

Starting point is 00:07:08 But I remember when I would go to when I would be time for bed. I would lay down next to him and I put his arm over me And his arm had like a tattoo on it or something. I don't remember what it was. Let me think about now. What was that? It may have been a couple um What was that a snowman or something or some bacon and His arm and I'd put his arm over me. I'd put his arm over me and then that's how I would sleep You know, I'm just that comfort cat You know, I'm just that comfort cat man. I like to have a little bit of extra I like to have a little bit. I need a little more support

Starting point is 00:07:50 You know, I'm the kind of guy you'll find a training wheel on my back just one Just that one hitter You know, I'm the kind of guy who uh Who if I lay down next to you I'll throw it I'll throw your arm over me You know for a little while now You know, I'll share I'll do you for a while to us, you know Once I get a little rest

Starting point is 00:08:13 I'll wake up and I'll throw one of my arms over you or two arms because I got a lean medium arms. I Got these medium reachers. I can't even if somebody with really short arms wants to shake my hand. I can't get there You know, there's medium arms, but I'll put both of them on you So you feel a little bit of comfort as well because I know what it feels like You know, I know what it feels like not only do I recognize that I need comfort But then I have to then also do the inverse of that I got to recognize what it feels like if somebody else needs comfort Because I have to notice that like if there's something that I that I have a

Starting point is 00:08:57 The the that I that I require Then there's gonna be something that somebody else then there's then I should notice that same Requirement or deficiency and others immediately You know, and that's really been something that Has been brought to some of the forefront of my life over the past couple years Since I started trying to get into like 12 step and learning about things is that Is some of that awareness just realizing oh Just how common it is when I have an issue that somebody else have it

Starting point is 00:09:33 That I can notice that issue in them and not accuse them of having it. I don't even have to say it But I could recognize man, you know, I recognize this person they might I can try to just show them extra comfort I'll just take a gamble that they need more comfort But I am that uh Okay, all right, who's was that water? Jesus I am I can be that comfort cat. Thank you guys for being here today. I I did put a hat on for those you listen over audio I Am happy I'm happy to be here man.

I know it's what could be morning when you're listening If you fire, you know, if you did body gas if you did gas out of your body out of your butt

Starting point is 00:19:39 You just get that booty ghost that's out there just haunting people's senses But someone had told us how I remember when I was a kid Someone told us or maybe they just wrote it on a sidewalk with a knife, but That if you you know did body gas on a mirror if you were sitting on a mirror or near a mirror like with your butt up You know stood in on the sink with your butt against the mirror And you did a gas that You could see it then it would take a you know as if it was a ghost or something. I guess that's how we thought oh

Starting point is 00:20:14 I could see it. I could see what's you know And so that was it man. We'd sit on these mirrors, you know, we got a couple mirrors. They had a arm An old lady that lived I mean everybody had this old lady that live we had an old little part about two and a half blocks away and Her house I think burned down at some point. I mean that usually happens with a lot of those older women But before it happened we'd go over there and she would give us a you know A little couple dimes or whatever to water the plants and do this and that you know look for the cats and I'll tell you this honestly man

Starting point is 00:20:50 She she all you know she she only had probably Two cats but she paid us to find about nine cats So we'd take one of the cats bring it in there show it to her She would you know say its name and pet it then then it would we'd let it go and say okay We're gonna find the other one and then we'd go find the same This the you know they only had to so we find the other one bring it in and just keep going back and forth until she thought She'd seen them all but really it was just two cats who were psyched, you know we were

Starting point is 00:21:22 You know the old The old cat, you know cat switch game well So we got you know, we so next thing, you know, we showed her all the cats We got these dimes or whatever, but anyway, she had some nice mirrors So I know we'd be over there and once you got the cats out of the way She we can hang out in our house. She didn't even know we're in there, you know we climb on the shelves and you know look at books or whatever look at little trinkets and this and that and

Starting point is 00:21:51 She had nice drawers heavy wood and you pull open a heavy wood drawer and you smell wood, you know, and it was It just had a different experience, you know being over there, you know, all of her stuff felt kind of old and mysterious Bruh, you know felt like you could just open up a can of peas or a can of carrots at her house And and a damn spirit would pop out. It had that kind of That kind of momentum was just built into the environment. Well, anyway, so Oh So she had these nice mirrors big ones that we could set on the floor take them off the wall set them on the floor And you do body you sit on there with your butt out do body gas and look for the ghost, you know

Starting point is 00:22:41 But we never saw anything You know, we never saw I mean people would lie and say they saw something but nobody ever saw anything man But that reminds me of that Mirvart and that's that day Mirvart In Amsterdam Netherlands and that's September 24th, and that's that But yeah, thank everybody so much man.

Starting point is 00:24:37 you know maybe she knew maybe we thought that she didn't have the awareness but she did and so that way we just got to spend more time over there and they gave us something to do maybe she knew we didn't have much to do you know and she would do that you know and I remember she I remember now actually she spent it she split out split a can of them frank and uh weaners you know used to have these cans bean and weaners they used to have these cans called uh bean and weaners and it was a can of beans and weaner and they cut up half a weaner in there and it looked like they cut the weaner with a spoon because the edges of the weaner cut they weren't straight there were those uh

Starting point is 00:25:20 uh convex them convex cuts you get that wean the you know usually you get a cut of weaners you know it's the the width of the wean and then it's that where the cuts are them chops but on these uh we need wean bean wean and beaners on these wean and beaners they had um um the cut the the cuts on the weaner were you know convex or something like you're trying to see the moon you know through glass but the uh oh shit man what am I talking about but she would cut open a can of those and we'd have them over there me and little Daniel be over there having them man and I'll tell you this about Daniel man people forget about him and don't want to think about him dude Daniel was up to no good man most of the time but I'll say this a lot

Starting point is 00:26:23 of times they had rumors going around this is back when rumors was really the most popular way to know about stuff and these days thanks to all the uh you know mainstream media being a bunch of dog shit it's welcome back rumors so the um you know Daniel would get in there and he uh he would eat the when he'd eat you know he'd always steal a chunk of my wean out of the uh out of my bean and weaners you know and and and in hindsight I remember a couple times he got sick because he he stole that chunk see there's just two sides this there's two sides to everything you know he stole that chunk and he got sick and I didn't get sick because I would just wait to see how he did how he fared after that chunk of frank and then I would just be around him if he looked like he

Starting point is 00:27:17 was getting real sweaty halfway into his own bowl I say damn I'm uh you know you know you know you know you've heard of Frank Sinatra while I'm saying Sianara Frank's because I'm saying bye bye to these frank chunks to these you know wean these wean cuts and I wouldn't have them because little Daniel be over there sweating dude and when he sweat his shirt he he he had this like uh I guess his shirt he had maybe one of those constricting shirts so when he got real sweaty his shirt would get even smaller but let's get into a couple of calls man those european dates are out thank you uh you know so much um a lot of people have called in last week I was talking about you know father-son relationship and uh and man I got so many nice responses and messages and

Starting point is 00:28:07 just wanted to say thank you uh just thanks for you know just thanks for not judging me while I think about stuff um you know I appreciate that like you know that's why I don't like sometimes it's hard to be in this world I think for a lot of us because we created an environment we didn't the dark arts created an environment where we can't even think or feel or share sometimes without being judged you know and I'm not saying that I don't do that sometimes we all do it but I'll be damned if some if there's people out there making a business out of it uh man it makes me mad um so but maybe inadvertently I do you know like I we never know what we do sometimes until we figure it out but but I just want to say I get a lot of nice just people that can relate people that are

Starting point is 00:29:08 sharing their own stories with me and it just makes me feel and then when I hear somebody else's story or they're sharing something man it makes me feel like a human because it makes me feel wow you know I have feelings I care about what this person's saying I have feelings man it reminds me it reminds me that I have feelings because the feelings man this you know the sugar lizard goes for whatever but whatever that other animal is that feeling animal he's more like a sloth you know he's easy you know he's around the surface man but he gets scared to kind of peek around sometime maybe he is like a cat maybe that feeling line or that feline that feel line yeah that's what it is man

Starting point is 00:30:05 so if I don't go with that sugar lizard then I can I can be patient and I can have a little bit of that feel line feel what choice I make not just not just that sugar lizard get whatever what is that a snicker a titty whatever you got to be aware that sugar lizard that first thing and that's who all these advertisers and all these you know all those bulls that's who they're selling to they're selling to that sugar lizard oh you got a dime let me set that right over there what's that a twinkie what's that a nipple what's that a fake uh you know uh fake net you know a neck installment or whatever fake titty they sell you all of that set it right there that's what you need get that let that sugar lizard bites whatever first thing out there

Starting point is 00:39:27 and that's okay no shade on anybody's uh but how we find things to do um you know outreach and stuff is through our patreon and i just want to say that we are going to reach out to all the single moms that we have uh that we've brought out to shows over the past year year and a half and we're going to send all of them some flowers uh so i just thought of that but um but we're going to do that so that's something our patreon is going to do so if you are a patreon supporter just know that already uh this weekend you bought flowers for about 12 different single moms around america and uh and the cards they don't say that this from me it says this from us and um so i hope you feel good about that because i do you know i do um you know it's thing in the other day that when we

Starting point is 00:40:22 look at our mother and i've this has been on my mind a lot when we look at our mom when if you or if you're raised by a single parent as a child you look at that parent and you hold them accountable for motherly stuff and fatherly stuff you don't even realize it because you need it all you need it all as a child and we hold that we hold our mom accountable for fatherly ways and not only that but then the mother also has to be a father and it gets really jumbly man for me it did anyway you know i'm sorry for me it got jumbly and only now am i able to kind of look through some of that and and start to be able to sort it out and wonder well why do i why this and why that you know am i holding my mother accountable or for things that that a father should have been

Starting point is 00:41:15 there for and i hold my father for things that a mother should have been there for and not even knowing not even realizing it but mother's day is a great opportunity to reconnect with somebody that you care about so uh from from me all the single moms out there uh we love you guys and thank you for all the hard work that you do and we know it's not easy sometimes you know i can only imagine if your husband or something whoever who created this child with you left you and men too you know if whoever created created that child with you left and left you to care about them man there's got to be a an anger there an angst you know uh that man they didn't even care about it enough about you to stay in this they didn't care enough about the child to really stay in it or to

Starting point is 00:42:03 help and then you have to be even stronger and not tell the kid that you can't you can't bat you can't really bastardize that other parent because it's so i'm sure just a lot of levels going on i'm not in that space but i can only imagine what it's like you know but man what a beautiful job um what else oh so i got a couple patreon questions that came in so these are victor s johnson the second asked in a previous episode you mentioned you don't feel a sense of community out in los angeles has that changed at all you know what since podcasting it has changed i've kind of built my own community a little bit or not we've built a community and also since i got into uh 12 step programs since i got into that sort of thing for me i have much more

Starting point is 00:43:04 of a sense of community i have people every day now that i can call and reach out to uh that are reaching out to me you know i have meetings that i go to where i meet up with others so there has been a sense of community there uh at the comedy store that's become a sense of community i was just taking a lot longer to find um and i do think also that uh la to me just feels more and more like an airport it feels like like an international airport even all the way from when you leave when you leave the airport at lax it still feels like an airport like the whole time i'm here whether i'm at home at work wherever it all feels like a big extension of the airport so you know that feeling you have when you're in an airport you know your people are passing you're seeing them

Starting point is 00:43:55 and you're oh yeah let's do this let's end it but everybody's just taking off everybody's coming back or taking that's what la always feels like to me everywhere so i think within that space it's hard to have a sense of community when there's just so much motion going on but i'm grateful you know i got guys like brennan schaub i got um producer nick uh you know i got little gianni who's uh you know the you know the movie star twink he's you know we just got you know there's a group that i have yeah so it's gotten better that's the short answer but thank you for the question that's from our patreon supporter victor johnson um let me see what else uh anhel perez said your comedy is always so creatively descriptive have you ever written

Starting point is 00:44:50 any short stories or things that aren't comedy um yeah yeah i have you know um you know i've tried to get some books published over the years i haven't tried in a while uh just about growing up um you know one fiction one nonfiction one just like growing up and just how fear kind of ran a lot of my life and just how uh you know the first memories i have are just of being afraid of stuff you know i remember when my father was you know obviously i'm not going to say again how old my father was i always say it um but one of my first memories was i remember walking i woke up at night and i walked into this other room in our house and my sister was real sick you know she was born with a rare disease and uh she needed a transplant and my father was like rocking her in this rocking

Starting point is 00:45:42 chair and he was crying and he was real sad you know and uh and i knew that my sister was sick and i saw him crying and it just like you know i don't know it just made me real scared it made me scared out of the beginning um but yeah i've written some stuff about that i've written some funny stories uh and i think as i get a little bit more settled after i get done touring next year i'm gonna try to focus a little bit more on getting back to some writing um creating some fun stuff that's not uh touring as much because this touring takes a lot out of me right now and then one more from fey divorce shack what books or movies have had an impact on the way you think about things what was going on in your life at the time that you read or saw them and how do they

Starting point is 00:46:27 change your thinking oh wow i don't know about some of that that's deep what books or movies you know i like that movie uh bridges of madison county you know there's just a moment of choice in there a moment of love a moment of comfort you know it just shows how people's lives can interact and they're not really you know how every decision you make isn't so well it just shows that you can get love in different places and that there's different levels to love and different parts of love some love you get from here and some love you get from there so i like that movie bridges of madison county and it's about bridges man bridges you know because think about this before bridges what people had to try and jump over something

Starting point is 00:47:19 so if you wanted to get a message to somebody across the whatever water you know or whatever dragon area you had to get a buddy feed him a bunch of steaks and everything train him you know get him a rosary a couple rosaries you know tell him he was gonna make it and then send him out there running and the dragon got him you know i'm saying so bridges are everything bridges are really because before that you had to get wet or get eaten or get burnt i mean bridges is name you know name 11 other things that are better than that over time maybe and you know and everybody did a bridge that wasn't just an obenjamin franklin

Starting point is 00:48:26 hogging all the uh um you know old b frankie hogging all the damn inventions everybody did a bridge ben so sorry i shouldn't have got upset about that but that's shit kind of you know a lot of times all these old people that is put you know you know you know einstein fucking who else what's that guy's name uh miss iraq steve miss iraq um yeah all these people say they invented everything thomas jefferson tj and oh yeah you guys did it all but no everybody did bridges um but i'll have to get more deeper into that one another time fave but thank you for that question about you know what things were going on in your life at the time you read or saw them uh i don't remember that's you know my my brain doesn't

Starting point is 00:49:25 work like that my memory is not that strong in that sense um but thank you for your support and that is definitely one of my favorite movies and books and that that that bridges madison county that's word for word book moving for movie and the patriot as always you know is one of my favorite movies ever and probably always will be aim small miss small i can't solve a big problem man but i could solve this little small one and that'll get me to the next little small one gang gang man let's get to a couple of calls that came in because i'm about to go get lunch onward hold on that's not okay on gang gang what's up bio gang gang brother onward uh man i love you bro uh just went to your uh your show in new york city you did a really

Starting point is 00:50:18 great job made my birthday really special uh you know uh well thank you man i appreciate that yeah that club i don't think that they did a good job they tried to hurry the vip you know the meet and greets and hurry it up at the end of the show um they were flashing the lights on us you know i don't know what and hopefully everybody's experience was great but you know the guy the man they it definitely wasn't you know it wasn't i hope you guys's experience was good i'll just leave it at that uh because yeah they had just the music just things that you know are basic things it didn't seem like they cared that much about the people coming to the shows um but it's a time square business down there in time square and it's just you

Starting point is 00:51:10 know they're just running people it felt like a diner where they did comedy yet but um but i appreciate everybody that came let's hear more man sorry i've been a little negative i met you after the show you told me that uh you know you might have relapsed with the cigarette hitters but uh it's all right man you know there's another day another dollar and we're out here and uh you know i was good for three months no cigarettes and then i recently also started again but you know we'll we'll put them hitters you know and uh you just gotta try again and try again until you know they say uh the success gets better uh the more times you do in the longer days that you've uh you know been often thanks uh once again i appreciate it oh yeah and

Starting point is 00:51:52 then monday's podcast yeah thanks man yeah i got back on them cigarettes about a week ago and so some of it is i just get so tired and just so exhausted it's like i just don't have anything i can't sleep saturday night i couldn't even sleep i was up all night dude i've never been up all night since i was i don't even know since i probably had colic or something as a child or if there was a snake in the room i could never sleep if there was a snake in the room but uh but yeah so i'm back on them ritz man gang onward remember last monday's podcast i wanted to ask you you know like you're talking a lot about your dad and stuff and and your feelings uh uh you know his relationship there and do you think you'd be a different comedian if

Starting point is 00:52:38 you had if you were a father yourself you know that's a good question would i be a different comedian if i were a father myself um you know it's funny sometimes i think i'm afraid to get into a family and that sort of thing because it'll change the way that i see the world a little bit and i just want to make sure i get everything out of the way i see the world right now or yeah or would i have anything to joke about then well i'd just be some you know such an emo nemo i'll turn into a damn emo shark you know and then i'll just be you know just holding my son just crying on like the bank of a river all the time like you know i just so i start to wonder like yeah i just i don't know it's like i'm

Starting point is 00:53:27 i'm kind of at a little bit of a place where i'm comfortable you know i'm that comfort cat and so i don't know if i you know it gets scary for me to think oh well if i have a family am i still going to be able to be okay because i don't want to damage them either you know i don't want to damage you know i don't want to you know i don't want to mess up you know i don't want to mess up some little kid's life or you know shoot i don't want to create single moms that's not that's not the thing that we're trying to do so but that's a good question man i appreciate you calling man as always the hotline 985-6649-503 let's take another call here hey this is christie from atlanta hey christie from atlanta thank you for calling i appreciate you calling um from that atl

Starting point is 00:54:16 i heard your podcast about how you felt like you used to be maybe ashamed of your father and i wanted to say you know my dad was never really a fancy guy in atlanta everyone's dads go to golf clubs all the time oh yeah they got a lot of fancy people over there i know who you're talking about i know exactly what you're talking about the fancy onward everyone's dads are buying new cars and that's just kind of how dads are here my dad's from ecuador so he has always just he does not care at all what he what he looks like or anything but it really for me i felt like it made me more of a proud person and like realize what happiness was much more because instead of golfing and buying cars my dad was like building bombs and

Starting point is 00:55:09 blowing them up in the backyard making kayaks out of wood you know collecting abandoned TVs and using them like using the screens to make fires in the back you know just doing a wizardry a sound like you talking about some real wizardry but now i know what you're talking about it's like you got to see more of a creative type of of dad instead of you know a lot of times and this does happen in a lot with a lot of tradition in different communities i find that people just live into these streams of tradition and they don't create their own kind of canals of creativity a lot of times it sounds like your father was definitely doing you know was doing a little bit more creativity and in creativity you get to see who someone is

Starting point is 00:55:57 you get to see some of the colors of them onward doing cool stuff and for me that that was actually a better way to grow up and so i'm like i'm grateful for that you know but thanks you know well it sounds like uh yeah it sounds like you got to have a unique experience with your dad yeah it's um it's so weird too it's like you know we just don't realize some stuff when we're young and sometimes we realize it later you know we don't know and that's life isn't it man man it's like you play a lot of the game and then like years later you kind of get to watch the game back and review how it went and it's always feels like that it's so hard to get to get i don't know it's so hard to get

Starting point is 00:56:54 it where you're where who you are and the way you feel about life matches up in real time with what's going on and maybe some of that just comes with time and age um let's take another call here thank you for that call uh young lady hey this is raid man and uh i'm from california but i'm in a rodeo what's up read dude rodeo i've been thinking about rodeo that's crazy that you called man i've been thinking about the rodeo boy i like going to the rodeo seeing those wranglers seeing that hat seeing them buckles seeing them yaw yaw yaw some steeds i'm riding bucking horses saddle brunks uh bucking horses
