arms and right here in my heart no matter what happy Mother's Day happy Mother's Day to everybody man look this is a I didn't mean to start off kind of somber like that but life is like that you know life is like a damn what is life what is it people out here you know waving at each other stealing shit you know somebody maybe helping somebody you know walk across the street help an old lady across the street and then they steal a little chocolate from her maybe she had two little chocolate rabbits or something she was going to visit a gravesite of a diabetic and they cop up you know they

cop one of them hoppers bro one of them little rabbits and they tuck it in a jaw you know and they get that sugar for themselves that's what life is that turnstile man it's that lazy Susan but it's nice to know that wherever it's wherever it spins or stops or speeds up or whatever it's nice to know that there's a woman there for you you know and and so happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and all the women you know and all the sons too man it's hard job dude out here being a son because a son man we will fuck up dude I remember when I was young man being young boy mom's coming home you would hear that dude you

would be I'd be knee deep we would be making mud in the tub we used to bring soil in from outside rare soil or just even regular soil and we would bring it in from outside and get it in get it in two hours worth of soil you know and we soiled up you know what I'm saying we're ready with it we got the dam a dam you know we got two foot by four foot of the damn Mississippi Delta sitting right there in the bathtub and we cut that water on brown make our own just mud and we'd be just making mud cakes mud pies and my sister she made like a dang you know a couple layer mud cake with the with the boot with the fondant with

that fondant icing I'm like damn what are you doing this is just mud we're we can't eat this and she were right happy happy anniversary Henry in it and I'm like who the fuck is Henry you're four years old what are you doing around this neighborhood but we had some times man but then once you heard one kid somehow would find out they would get a thing in their head they would see the clock or whatever oh shit it's almost 5 p.m. that's when mom gets off work and that means it takes mom nine minutes unless she stopped to have a little cigarette then it take her 13 minutes to get home because sometimes mom pull over behind a

bank and hit that freaking you know get that little Winston in her get that chirp chirp get that upper you know that that light upper that's gonna help her you know come home and not you know whip the kids ass immediately she will hear the children first and and man mom would come home and we'd be like fuck man we got to get rid of this mud cuz now you got before it was soil but now you added that water now it's heavy mud this shit is alluvial you got a damn you got a baby palm popping up over here you got an arborist beating on the door you know trying to get a deal and so now we got to throw all of this mud

out the window what we didn't realize was mom she parks right out by the window right we weren't thinking you know logistically we weren't really there because we were just children so we're just sitting there throwing mud out the window bruh sand mud it all kind of just toys in it it had a bottle of uh that suave hair conditioner remember that shit with the pineapple on it dude I'd leave the house smelling fucking Polynesian I'd have bees coming over couple of urban chicks showing up oh what are you doing you know when you had that that suave conditioner that pineapple fresh and that shit would leave

you sent it up but now the mud has everything she's throwing all kind of shit out you know Daniel snuck over there he's been over there doing something you know writing dirty words in the mud and he got stuck in it and he fucking went out the window he's airborne you know Daniel bruh you know he makes his own choices but they're not good and so man I remember the mom would come inside and be our ass bruh and I don't blame her I don't blame her you have you paying a hundred and seventy dollars a month for rent in a three bedroom and these kids fucking brought about fifty pounds of fucking mud up

into the tub dude because then what happened after that I went into the pipes then we couldn't use the toilet upstairs then everybody had to use the toilet downstairs and the toilet downstairs right by the dinner table so you'd have you know some fancy Fauntler Roy wants to slip off from from dinner you know mom's grilling up a couple hotcakes or whatever you know maybe a couple slices of bacon you know a couple lean pieces and then some fancy fuckeroni gets a little feel a little quake in his in his gurney in his girder in his belly and he wants to slide off to the side and use the toilet

and dude it was just we fucking ruin mom's life but dang she kept on with us she kept on with us man you know mother may I rest my head though I did not try my best man that thing hits me you know music's pretty wild isn't it lyrics and music and things we say like because I know this guy Evan Bartels you know he's a man right he's a human man if you hit him with an ax blood gonna come out and maybe you know some tendon right he's regular man but the recipe inside and puts these words together and he learns a way to present it and it just and that song is pretty beautiful to me and that's Evan Bartels the devil God and me and I

had an opportunity to meet him we all move over in Kansas City or Omaha thing and we almost had him play after a show one time but we couldn't we couldn't find a venue but next time we'll do it right thank you guys for being here with this this week this past weekend I'm kind of this is a little bit of a sad day for me I'm a this our last time in the studio we decided to get a different studio that has a little bit more room and man it's happened so fast it's almost like I haven't really had a chance to really just be with it you know just to sit in here and and just kind of feel the vibe man a lot has happened in here I

remember coming out of the kitchen and thinking man what am I doing moving into a studio what am I doing I don't even know what I'm talking about and then we got in here and I brought that Chris Farley picture out of my apartment the nicest picture I own and put it in here and I was pissed dude every time because I'd sit at my dinner table at home and be like damn I wish I had that Chris Farley you know it really tied the room together and this is fighter in the kids old studio and we came in here man and we didn't give up you know and I feel pretty proud and I want to thank you guys for being just supportive and

differently and when I get stressed I need to ask for help or I need to ask why I'm really stressed you know and when I start you know I start getting grumpy I start thinking people should be doing stuff anytime I think somebody for me anyway anytime I think someone should do something something's wrong with me because nobody people are gonna do what they're gonna do you know and when I start getting expectations I just I don't like living that way I don't like being uncomfortable you know I don't like being uncomfortable man and I'm not gonna I'm just not gonna be that way I'm gonna try to find active ways to

solve it dude so I'll update you I've been off the sugar you know and I've been off of it and man I'm lean as a damn you know I'm lean as a dang you know and I'll show that right there you can see my arm a little bit of I don't that's muscle or just kind of like part of my the way that my arm is but you know I'm getting real leaned up and you'll see hungry dogs look over at me like if I know anything on the street you know fucking looking at me for man so I'm starting to look like Santa's little helper when when they found him on the Simpsons remember that remember that episode when they found Santa's little

helper and he was skinny it looked like he just been eating just air puffs and and just drinking idea lattes you know just having nothing just maybe a bowl of just invisible you know um flake muffins nothing he had nothing on him and they were racing him the people down at the track was racing that dog and making them run and do this hard to run if you don't have to have a muffin in you if you don't have half of a real muffin and then made that damn dog run and that shit I remember just brought the tears right out of my eyes I mean like somebody was collecting salt water right out in front of me and my eyes said

985-6649503 here we go Hannah from Atlanta Georgia Hannah from Atlanta dang this sound like somebody out of a in the thong song you know Hannah from Atlanta got that thong thong I love your podcast I just wanted to tell a quick funny story about my mom she is the strongest person I know she's amazing she got divorced and then actually recently remarried and it's good to see her happy again because she hasn't been happy for a long time but in that powerful in that powerful senior mother happy you know I didn't realize I mean I talk sometimes you know I tell the story in my show my mother won a perm one time

on a radio when I was young and and it was the first time after that I saw my mother just there was a moment where I just saw her have happiness and I'd never seen her be stressed unstressed before I'd never seen her be you know just not concerned or worried it was just one moment it was just a look in her eye it was just a moment and man it just I remember it was it just had the whole world felt different to me there's something that happens inside of a son specifically and I can't speak for a daughter because all I got inside of me is male male DNA I mean I might have a little you know I might get a little

bitchy around now you know I got that DS booty you know and I got that urban girl booty but otherwise I think I'm staying you know masculine but there's something when you see your mother get to be at peace that it lets you be at peace it's like you can't a child a son I don't I don't know if a son can be at peace if their mother isn't at peace I don't know I just don't know if it can happen I don't know if it's built into us that if your mother is stressed or overwhelmed or worried even if it even if it's just all in her head or whatever that you can't find you I could never be at peace until this one moment I saw my

mother relax and then I just I was like oh what is this this is a new air that I'm in let's hear more I just wanted to tell a story about I think I was about 12 years old she sent me roller skating for the first time and I was extremely scared because I hated doing stuff like that I was always afraid to get hurt so we go roller skating and I immediately as soon as I start I fall right on my ass and she skates by me backwards with her middle fingers in the air and her tongue sticking out at me and she's always just had the best sense of humor and I just I really admire that about her anyway I just wanted to say I love

your podcast gang gang gang gang that's crazy I can stick boy your mom hit you with that magic stick right down the middle that's beautiful that's so funny you know it's funny when a child when they have a moment and when a child has a moment they fall down or something there's like a moment there we if your reaction is a certain way they'll react a different way I see that sometimes you know if you seem overly concerned and they then they'll keep crying if they if you like make it funny or it's okay then they can kind of make it it's okay it's like there's these kind of teaching type of moments and that and that's just what

I noticed I could be wrong I don't have any children you know but yeah when you're 12 years old that's hilarious what a funny story what a cool mom that's such a cool mom man that's cool yeah my mom always dropped us off she never really came in with us to do stuff I don't think but I think also I was at that age at that point where I just didn't you don't want your mom around at some points you know you start to want to be away from them it's just like birds man if you look at birds if you watch March of the Penguins you know human beings a man and their mother a boy and their mother just like March of the

Penguins you know the mom goes off to wherever Seattle or whatever and she's get you know trying to get a little bit of fish and from this guy or this guy or trying to you know start her own little fish her little start her own little catchery or whatever you know just snagging fucking carps or whatever and she fills up and she comes home and the baby gets that you know she drops a little bit of that freaking you know that saucy exhale right into him and he gets buffed up and he starts doing weights and shit and the mom goes off again to wherever she goes Vancouver you know wherever a lot of these birds are

at and some of these birds out there thought and to be honest but anyway decent penguin women go to North Pole whatever you know eating santa's leftover up there and and then they come back and now they come back and the kids getting older and he's fucking shit you know he's doing cigarettes or he's you know doing you know doing dice or whatever and his mom's like well you know she's trying to vomit into his mouth for say you know for comfort and he don't want it he want to do his own shit he want to go watch the I did a rod with his buddies or you know or you know or go thaw a couple bitches out but then the

mother and this but the mother still loves that boy you know she don't give up on him even though he's trying to to leave the nest and it's very similar to humans very similar to humans overall if you look at like a chart so but but that's a beautiful mom with that fucking role to be able to roller skate and flip someone off Jesus Christ who is your mom Christie I'm a Gucci sounds hot thank you for that call a very sweet and it's nice to know that you love your mother you know it just it just makes me feel good I'm gonna tell you this makes me feel good as well that if you don't have

of our patreon questions and putting them in I'm gonna answer this one right now this is from Quinn Hassan and gang gang from down under and this man Sam from Australia and I used to think people said I'm down under I thought they was a mechanic they was doing oil changes you know I'm from down under but that was you know that's when I was young and didn't know as much or I knew just less than I know now Quinn asked how often are you getting recognized now that you're blowing up on a global level like can you go out and still be left alone or is there always someone asking for a photo etc I'm from Melbourne

Australia and find it really bizarre watching you spread organically through the world literally never even heard of you five months ago then a couple months later you're that popular we struggle to get tickets to your Melbourne show amazing well I will say there are still tickets available to the Adelaide show in Australia and that's in a couple of weeks I think that's it well thanks for the question Quinn I appreciate it thanks your patreon support you know that's how we do all the the you know helping out the single mothers we're gonna do some other stuff we have on our game plan on there what's that been

like yeah I have met more people you know I meet more people but you know I'll say this the people I meet are people that I feel like I would want to meet anyway I don't feel like I'm meeting like a bunch of like you know I feel like there's like like substance kind of like everybody I meet I end up having it's like a conversation with if I can I mean at shows it's a little harder because you know there's just a lot of people at once and you just performed and it's kind of exhausting and I like to put it all on the stage now I like to do what I like to really you know I'm not just trying to sell tickets I'm trying

to get people to the show because I want them to see the show because I worked hard on it you know and I want them to have a good experience but yeah it's easier to meet people but it's easier to meet good people that's one thing that I've noticed if I feel like somebody's out of control or you know real fucked up or something like that I don't engage in a lot of that type of stuff but everybody I meet seems you know it seems to be pretty respectful some things have gotten a little different like you know I'll like I got a message from like a picture from the Dodgers the other day on DM and he just you know he was like

hey man I'm a big fan and I was like dude you're frickin picture for the Dodgers dude like don't you have aren't there batters out there right now like don't y'all have something to do but so things like that are kind of interesting and kind of flattering but then I really get scared about my ego you know you know I really get scared about my ego because I'll start noticing that you know like I'm I start noticing in my head I get a little bit more demanding about stuff and I don't like that man I don't like you know I don't like I don't I mean I don't know I don't like that I don't like that and that's just

ego some of its stress some of its ego some of its just being tired which is why I'm excited I'm excited to go to Australia I'm going I'm taking six days and I'm going to Bali Bali not the fitness club I'm going to damn Indonesia so somebody my buddy Simon Rex said it was a good place and so I'm gonna go I just said fuck it I'm going found me a place on there travel advisor and I'm headed to Bali tomorrow morning so I'm taking a break but yeah it's interesting popularity is interesting but you know I I don't want to be popular I want to I want to do something and I don't know what that is sometimes you know I just

just sit around thinking I'm good and that seems to be like a side effect or something that can happen you know I want to stay in motion and I want to you know I don't know I just want to be okay because popularity also seemed like a very dangerous thing so but it with that said I'm very excited that people are coming to the shows and the people that I meet are good people and so I'm excited to meet a man but thank you for that question Quinn Hassan and thank you for being a part of sending all those flowers to all the single moms that we we followed up with all of them we'll put some of the text some of them sent me

times down there thank you for calling man nice to hear a call from Louisiana dude beautiful place let's take another call here 985-664-9503 the last show here in the studio and that's kind of almost a little bit like leaving a you know leaving a place it's like leaving a womb a little bit you know I know these walls I know this place I know how my voice sounds in here you know I know my lifeline Nick Davis the producer premature Nick you know he showed up early and he's been working hard ever since bro and and it's kind of like that you know when you leave to a new place because I don't know what it's

gonna I'm leaving I'm out of town for three weeks and then when I get back we're gonna be rocking and rolling and it is pretty crazy to go back to the guy's question it's crazy now to be going to like Australia to do stand-up shows but I feel like it's not fake I feel like I'm bringing a product that is good you know I think what would be scary would be going somewhere and not being able to do a good show or show that I think people are getting gonna get their money's worth for so that's what I hope to do a lot of people have been asking about meet and greets after shows as well a lot of them the shows

don't have them I'm gonna try to do as many as I can after early shows it's harder because we got to do the late show but after late shows I'm just gonna try to do as many just meet as many people as I can so they usually just announce it at the end of the show and thank you guys so much for all the people supporting and the tickets and stuff it's crazy man I can't even you know it's like my dreams are kind of coming true and we can think about that a different time I want to hear more about these mothers man that sounds club do that's like a wow that rock tumbler yo Theo what's up man it's Mike

from northern Virginia which most people know as the less racist part of the state up here outside DC in the good old politics belt oh yeah up there in Nova dude yeah let's hear more anyway man mother's day hasn't always been easy I lost my mom to cancer 15 years ago when I was 18 actually the day before I left for college wow I just want to take a little moment of silence for her man let's hear the rest of your call as you know losing a parent young can have a long-standing effect on you for a lot of years especially on Mother's Day I was I think bitter and resentful but as I get older I still miss her the same but

I've tried to change my mindset no really working on that I tried to think about the joy and the happiness she brought to me instead of just being gone just thinking about her voice and her smile and her kindness towards others makes me happy to me she set the bar for how we're supposed to treat others and I'm constantly working on imitating that in my own life and you know now I'm seeing all the other moms in my life who supported me and I'm thankful for them as well and appreciate the impact they've had on me amen man that's a great message you know and you know it's funny your blueprint at this

just my you know my one cent your blueprint for recognizing those other mothers probably wouldn't be there if your mother hadn't really created it you know so there you know it's it's it's just so amazing that your mother did the work that she did where you're able to still see that were you able to recognize it in other people man it's so powerful dude it's so powerful like cuz I think about this I think so say you know your mother passed and then years later you know you you have an experience with a woman a mother you know a motherly moment and you tell her wow you know hey I just want to let you

know you know my mother passed away when I was young and you know whatever you did or said or it just really you know it hit me in that place where only my mother could hit me and that's powerful it's powerful for you that's powerful for that person because then that person knows that they then they realize an effect they can have on somebody by doing whatever that action was something joyous you know something loving something man that's powerful you know you know I'm amazed really by the power of of connection a lot of times I'm really amazed by and maybe I'm late to the game maybe people been unamazed by it

forever but I'm a late bloomer you know it just took me a long time to get out of my shell in some ways and I'm still halfway you know I'm still paying rent on that bitch and man but thank you for calling and sharing the story about your mother and I'm sure that she's thinking of you every day man let's hear more yo Theo this is anonymous and witness protection in Kentucky gang gang dude in this I didn't know this call was coming in I've always wanted a call like this to come in man and this is witness protection program calling so I'm gonna throw my hat back on just to just to be a part of what's going on right now back

in the 80s my mom had a technique in her 77 money Carlo when I was a teenager like 14 15 years old I'd smart off to her on Mother's Day and she would slam on the brakes and then backhand me as my face was flying forward so it really smacked me in the mouth hard dang dog your mother sounds like Gary Peyton brought us up that you know she sounds like fucking pistol pissed off Marovits dude she's sounding she's got that you know that dexterity onward I love her for that made me a better man gang gang gang gang man you know it's funny my mother used to hit me a lot when I was young she didn't have any choice she was

the only parent she never choice what you're gonna not hit some kid you got four kids somebody about to get their ass beat so many needs to you know especially when the moms by themselves they got the they got the father's job too and they can't do it all but you know it's funny now older I don't remember those things and some of my choose not to remember you know I choose not to remember my mother as a struggling woman who couldn't keep it together and who took some aggression out on her children because for one it was good for me and two I don't want to remember of my mother that way you know now sometimes it

creeps in and I do think over that way and I hold grudges but in the end it's my choice and I choose to try and remember her differently these days I didn't always I didn't even when this podcast started but these days I choose to try and remember my mother differently you know I just choose to try and remember her as a woman that needs love you know and and that I don't want to see struggle because I know at the core of my mother no matter what she had to do spank us or whatever I know that at the very core her she'd never ever wanted us to see us struggle and she did whatever her chart was whatever her path

was to try and navigate that that's what she did and so I you know and that's where the choice is mine it's like I can be upset sometimes at some of the things and the disconnection and you know why I struggle in relationships now because I don't have a kind of you know it's hard for me to trust women at a core level but also then there's another thing where it's like I can just choose to not discuss any of that with my mother I can choose to take that up with myself I mean some stuff I discuss whether but I can just choose to look at her differently and just try to love

her because in the end it helps me get to a place where I I just feel better than the end of that road of trying to just be loving feels better than the than the end of the other road of just trying to hold that grudge forever and not and not learn from or learn about it but thank you for the call man yeah mom's had some tricks up they sleeve man and not up their sleeve that freaking open-handed that backhand baby you feel me that backhand man a field this is Dane from Springfield Missouri man gang gang what's up Dane from Springfield and that's a beautiful area up there in Missouri Missouri that's what a lot of

the older men up there call it Missouri up there in Missouri talking about mom my mom went to college and went to master's degree once we were all three of us went to school and she she's a speech pathologist a long time her favorite patient his favorite band was Coldplay and she went out of her way to email the tour manager told him the whole story and the whole business and worked her magic and the tour manager paid for the free concert tickets the kid and his girlfriend got to go backstage meet Chris Martin and the entire band wow like those like the best man I kid wife and I mean that was

something really cool my mom did and I thought that was cool so she she passed away in 2012 and I'm not too rough for some of that there you know no moms and all that but anyway listen man I really appreciate anything you do and big fan show me gang gang man well she's alive right now man you know she's alive right now not that's you know she's alive right now and that's the kind of woman she was you know it's interesting how a moment or two can really define somebody and it's interesting how we have a lot of time in our life to really make that moment you know your mother probably did a lot of other things but

you chose to tell that moment where she was helping somebody else not even you that's pretty powerful yeah man well she's still alive right here right now with that story that's why I love stories man they keep people alive you know and that's why I think they've been around since the beginning of time stories from mouth to mouth from you know from mouth to ear because if you do videotape think about it the waters come baby or whatever the electricity you know they start Voldemort and then the Lord starts going at it sword fighting and the clouds open up or something goes awry at the Mars factory and too many

skittles for everybody drowning fucking you know rainbow sugar pieces all this electronic chicks in a go all we need to have is just a mouth to ear so thank you for giving us that let's take let's take one more call here we go hey CEO happy mother's day it's Alex Houston I'll tell you a little story about when I was in high school one morning in particular when I was 16 years old I felt this tickling sensation over my face oh that's an uncle dude this about mothers and that was a bad joke thank you for calling Alex let's hear let's hear more and when I open my eyes my mom was dangling with paint

G string over my face and well I guess my girlfriend had spent the weekend and she had left that in the bed and the only thing she said was Alex you need to respect the woman's body and I guess I've been trying my best ever since but anyway my mom's my hero she immigrated us to America legally from Taiwan and she's turning 60 at the end of the month and it's Mother's Day this weekend and she never got to get her graduation ring and when she graduated from Michigan State so I'm gonna buy her that graduation ring that's dated for 95 this year I love her and thanks for doing the show big fan later gang that's awesome

man that's a good story dude you're gonna get her that piece that jewelry that's touching man that's it yeah that's exciting it's exciting to think you know to send my mother some flowers but maybe I can learn more about her and in the next year and think of something that could be a little more sentimental you know get her or something maybe something she really really has always wanted you know something about my mother she doesn't like to tell you some other things she's always wanted you know she has like a I don't know she feels like she doesn't want to burden anybody but that's that's beautiful man

congratulations and it sounds like you're very proud of your mom yo Theo what up this is great from Todd Tyces what up from Tejas let's hear it pop up what's going on great because of that stray animal about them and Louisiana yeah yeah man that stray animal dude a lot of animals used to roam boy roam baby mice passing through like bison in the night onward got a story about my mom when I was an eighth grade of PE I got a spanking by my coach for something that was irrelevant damn it sounds sexy out here in Hollywood do you tell some of these executive males that got name boy they'll put you in a damn movie in at

their house let's hear more was for an eighth grader that feels a little bit homo-rock that is why any spank is past the fifth grade is real questionable so I went home and told my mom my mom decided to go back up there and what she told him was if you ever touch my son again I'm gonna give you an ass whip and you will never forget and that sounds like some Louisiana type shit something that your mom might do well sometimes that shit leaks over the border you know because they don't have a wall down there let's hear more anyways gang gang gang gang man yeah moms will step up for us and cheer us on sometimes you know the

sometimes they show up you know when it's easier for you know it has been easier for me to remember times when my mom didn't show up but you know when I think about when I really when I take that edge off of myself and just try and find gratitude for things my mom did it's a little bit easier to think of the time she did you know and a lot of it is just hearing other people tell their stories you know we had an Astro van you know my mom used to throw I just remembered my birthday party's at the roller rink and then we always had the best cake she always went across the lake to get the cake to New Orleans and

everybody else got some local cake and we got the special this nice cake from over there she would get it every time cuz she knew we liked it you know they don't get a lot of thanks or maybe they do and maybe I'm just speaking from my own life you know and maybe sometimes I don't want to thank my mother or there's something inside of me that doesn't want to thank people that doesn't want to you know that's and that's not the good part of me I've got to go against that whatever that thing inside of me says I'm gonna I'm not gonna call I'm not gonna say this I'm not that is that that's the dark arts that's the thing

that doesn't want you to do well or to be well or to feel well or to make others feel well and you got to step over that thing and you got to take control and also I don't know what I'm talking about so there's all of that in there we'll get to more patreon questions next week do some great calls man thank you so much nine eight five six six four nine five zero three as always is the hotline there are new shows going on sale this week some extra shows in a couple of cities and I think those cities are Atlanta got a new show going on let me see yeah Atlanta wait Austin Oklahoma City Sacramento and Atlanta I
