Well, here we go.
About that time, baby.
About that time.
There you go, baby.
Tonight is a night.
Well.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, okay.
Well, I downloaded that song and I didn't, I thought it was just about, I thought it
was just instrumental and I thought it was just going to be about, about snow.
And apparently it's about December.
So, you know, I'm not trying to be a time traveler, so I'm going to shut it down.
Good morning, good day, good evening, whatever time it is for you.
Grateful to be here today with you.
It is February, February 11th in the year 2019.
And it's snowing, dude, it is snowed up over here.
I mean, it is really snowy.
And I mean, Columbus, Ohio, and snow is wild, man.
Think about snow.
Think about snow.
I mean, snow, what is it?
We don't know.
I mean, we know that two, you know, two cold things, you know, they start doing sex or
something up way up in the sky and next thing you know, they snow.
And there, you know, they start shedding little snow, you know, just spraying out a little
bit of snow out of them.
And that's beautiful, man.
And it's really, I mean, it's just hitting everywhere out here, snow.
They got snow, snowmen, people are building snowmen, snowwomen.
They got a transgender, you know, they put a couple of, you know, they took the carrot
off of it and put like just, you know, like a little, you know, somebody put over the
crotch one of those, you know, like a Rubik's cube.
So anything could happen down there in the crotch for some of the snowmen and people
are just enjoying the time out here and and I'm here in the middle of America in Columbus,
Ohio.
And it's snowing.
I didn't think it was going to be snowing.
You know, I was taking a nap and I was dreaming about, you know, I was, I was, where was I?
I was at a curtain shop, you know, and I was looking at different curtains and stuff.
And then next thing you know, I wake up and I'm thinking, you know, I'm not thinking anything
because I just woke up.
I thought I was looking for curtains, you know, but really I'm fucking in a hotel.
And then I come and look out the window and it's snow.
And man, it's beautiful and it's wild to think that we're just on this planet.
We're on a ball of dirt and water in the middle of nowhere and suddenly a bunch of cold shit
falls on you.
I mean, what is it?
What's going on?
Is there a greater plan?
I wish I'd have picked a better intro song, but sometimes you don't pick the right intro
music.
You know, I remember at my grandfather's funeral, somebody, the DJ accidentally played that
song.
It was a ludicrous song.
What did ludicrous sing?
It was the one where he dresses up like in the videos with like the ludicrous, you know,
he had the incredible hold hands on anyway.
But imagine you being there at the grandfather's funeral and they got the, you know, the DJ,
oh, get back.
He played ludicrous, get back.
Get back, get back.
You don't know me like that.
At my grandfather's funeral, you know, the guy messed up at the wake.
They had like a musical guy at the wake and next thing you know, everybody's like, Jesus.
You know, they're like, man, that old dude must have been into some wild shit if he's
listening, if they're playing ludicrous at his funeral.
But good to be here with you guys, man.
I had quite a weekend here.
I've been here in Columbus, Ohio.
Thank you to everybody that came out.
You know, I always say that and, and man, it's just been great.
I still have shows tonight.
It's Sunday right now.
And what have I been doing?
You know, it's Sunday.
I'm thinking about maybe going for a run.
I am indoors, dude, I ain't running outdoors in the snow.
It's gonna be crazy.
If my legs were nicer, I would do it.
If my legs were nicer, I would do it.
I would get out there.
I think.
But yeah, a lot of great people have come out.
A lot of people with blue eyes and I don't know if there's something going on.
You know, if more, I mean, this one guy came out the other night with these, you know,
these just fucking baby blue, just balls of the Lord's fucking bouya base in his face.
This dude had just, oh man, if you looked in his eyes, you didn't know where you were.
You could be molested or, you know, or anything while you were looking at it.
You don't even know.
Somebody steal your shirt, steal your, you know, your 401k, they take everything.
They'll take the stairs off your house.
They'll take the front stair walk off your house.
They'll open the door and fucking fall face first out into the shit.
I mean, his dude had some just blue hitters in his face.
I don't know what I mean, it looked like, like he'd stolen them out of a museum.
Like he hired Nicholas Cage to go out there and find him a set of eyes because this dude
had some, I mean, just like, just like little pieces of Plymouth Rock.
Somebody put him in his damn fate in his head.
I mean, I would have had a duty.
But I had eyes that nice, I'd have a fucking Doverman Pinscher out there watching them.
You know, I'd have a damn Rottweiler.
Dude, I'd have a, I would have a Rottweiler watching my eyes at all times because I'd
be worried somebody's going to show up with a sharp spoon and just scoop me out and to
where my visuals around her neck, you know, somebody, you know, one of those people in
a fancy, you know, a dictator or somebody like that, maybe somebody in Africa, one of
those, you know, Sierra Leone, one of those people that are stealing, you know, whatever,
doing all of that.
I'm going to tell you about a couple of things, though, some updates.
You know, today is the day we're going to announce those Australia dates, and I'm so
excited.
Man, I can't even imagine that I'm going to go to Australia and that's so bizarre to
think that I'm going to go to another country and that people are going to come out to
see the shows.
That's just bad.
I mean, it's, that's just beyond, I can't even, I don't even know how it makes sense.
You know, I don't even know how it makes sense, but I'm really excited about it.
I'm going to let you know this right now.
You know, today's episode is brought to you by Grey Block Pizza, and Grey Block Pizza,
that's a piety, you know, that's a pie, you know, place that makes special pies over there
in Los Angeles, 1811 Pico Boulevard on the way to the beach, Grey Block.
Get that hitter.
I also want to let you know that today's episode is brought to you by, by, hold on, I'm getting
this audio right, by our small business sponsor, and this is a book and it's called the Meat
Head Manifesto, and it is written by Brody McVit, sorry, Brody McVitie, and if you want
to support a small business like we do, and I'll tell you it, man, I checked out the Meat
Head Manifesto by Brody McVitie, and this guy makes reading about fitness actually enjoyable.
It's a how-to book.
It's a how-to book for people who have no fucking clue what they're doing in the gym.
Okay.
Brody covers topics like how to tell if your personal trainer is a straight-up D-bag, how
to tell if you're a D-bag client, if you're a doush bag, daddy, if you're a doush bag,
man, and you got to tighten up, but one of y'all is probably a doush bag.
The Meat Head Manifesto is the only how-to guide you'll ever need.
If you're in the bodybuilding and girls and nutrition, then you'll love this irreverent
take on concepts like how to handle your raging jealousy and fat, like the stuff you
need, not what you are, and that's how to get good fats.
It's funny.
A lot of different nuts and everything have good fats in them, and that's what Otzi used
to say.
If a girl was thinking about giving me a blow job, I said, you know, nuts really got a lot
of healthy fat in them, so there's that.
You can head on over to Brody's website, www.brodymcvitie.com, or at Brody Drew, B-R-O-D-Y-D-R-E-W,
on Instagram, and click on the This Pass Weekend section for a special discounted copy of the
book today.
That's Brody McVitty, B-R-O-D-Y-M-C-V-I-T-T-I-E.com, and head to the This Pass Weekend section
for a special discounted copy of the Meathead Manifesto.
And I used to be a Meathead, man.
I used to get, you know, I used to get straight up damn meaty out there, dude.
So you can support small businesses like we do here at This Pass Weekend, and that is
a small business advertisement right there, an author, and everybody's wanted to write
a book, and that man went and did it.
That's that Meathead Manifesto, and you know you've seen these beasties in the gym.
You know, some dude got, you know, I mean, just, you know, he's just done so many reps,
he just, you know, he does curls and all the pimples on his face pop at once, just, you
know, shatters his fucking taste buds, everything just flies right out of his mouth, you know,
thing just, you know, just creaming out of his own pores, you know, he's all hopped up
on protein powder, one of those guys that's usually, a lot of times you'll see him like
dripping liquid protein into their eyeballs and, you know, some of them will even take
a damn McNugget and, you know, do them suppositories just to get a couple extra grams in the old
B-hole, you know, they're like that, people that just got to have that protein.
Some of them will fucking suck an egg right out of a chicken's booty, you know, just to
get that extra six grams, that's in an egg, and you know, an egg has six grams of protein
in it, isn't that pretty wild?
And then, I guess it's not that wild actually, so, but let's get in, I'm going to announce
the days in just a minute, let's get into a call or two real quick that came in, here
we go.
Yo, my name is Dylan, I'm here with my brother Nick, we're from upstate New York, and gang
gang, Nick and Dylan, and upstate New York, that is neck-tat country.
So, if you ever wondered, you know, do I have a neck-tat or what does it seem like to have
a neck-tat too?
Well, go to upstate New York and meet a couple ladies or a couple men and, you know, sometime
they'll have turtlenecks if they're ashamed of themselves, and you got to peel down that
turtleneck and you can see, usually they got a picture of, you know, like a little, they'll
do sometime a, you know, if it's a guy that's been to prison, he'll have like a weird mix
of shit, like a gun and then like a little Mickey Mouse and a Minnie Mouse or something.
Sometime ladies will have like a soup spoon or, you know, a garbage plate or something
if they're from Rochester, they'll have that tattoo to stack a meat and cheese on her neck.
Thank you for calling fellas onward.
I see you on that Business and Podcast broadcast bro, that, I'm a big fan of Corey G and Johnny
Bosco and Mosey, you know, I follow Corey G's workouts, the dude is insane, but what
he does works, all those guys, you know, they got some good shit going on there and I was
just wondering what you take from those guys, what you learned and applied to your life.
I think it's helped a lot with my personal development and growth, so yeah, I was just
wondering what you learned from them.
Gang gang homie.
Gang papa, thank you for the other, the call and you know what, this is what I did while
I was here, you know, there wasn't a lot of time, because here's the thing, like I fly
into Columbus, right, I lose three hours on the flight.
So I leave at 6am, you know, I got up at 4.45, right, and I'm not complaining, I'm grateful
because I get to do something that I love.
I get to come and see a lot of dope people and some real questionable people as well,
but you know, I get out there and next thing, you know, I fly here, so you lose that three
hours, you get off the plane, you get to the hotel, you get settled, you hit the shows,
you know, and you do it like that.
And you barely got a time to get a little bit of, you know, to put some freshener on
your skin or get freshened up or to even really, you know, fold your clothes or something.
And I don't like to take my clothes out of my bag.
When I'm traveling, I don't, I keep my clothes in my bag, dude.
I don't even know whose furniture this is, when I'm in the hotel room, whose fucking
furniture is it?
Not mine, bro.
You think I'm putting my furniture in your, you know, little shiffer robe or drawer set?
So what, if I leave it, you get my shit, bro?
A lot of these furniture, these things, they're just traps, like, hey, why don't you forget
some shit in this thing over here?
Oh, here's a nice place for you to forget some shit that you probably really want to
not forget.
That's what all it is, man.
Why do you think everything in a motel or hotel has drawers and stuff on it?
Because they want you to leave shit.
Oh, what is that?
You left that.
Oh, you left that.
Little bit of cash.
Left a wallet.
Fucking somebody left a Bible.
I was in half these places.
You know, you left a little refrigerator.
Somebody left and one of these, you know, I was at these, you know, the embassy suites
and they had somebody left it fucking for a little, probably some damn fucking redneck.
You know it, boy.
Some beautiful coon ass brought it down, you know, a little fridger there.
You know, somebody that I guess want to have cold, you know, cold cuts or whatever close
to them.
And they left it in a damn, I don't know why they even put it in there.
But they fucking, you know, people like that, you know, real people, they do real shit.
Like put a frigid air in a damn chest of drawers.
But that's all a hotel room is a place for you to lose shit, drop an earring, lose a
wedding ring, you know, the bed sheets.
If you lose this, you ever lost a sock?
Have you ever lost a sock in a motel bed sheet area?
Dude, take your socks off where you go to bed.
Leave them in the bed with you.
You'll never see those bitches again, bro.
They just fucking shred up Narnia down at the bottom.
They got 19 layers of sheets.
Them bitches is young.
I'll tell you it is probably one of the people that, you know, the cleaning ladies or somebody
that works at the front desk, the night manager.
He always got a white, you know, probably his name is Mr. Patrick or something.
That motherfucker up there wearing your socks by morning, you know, the sock fairy comes
and just just socks your shit out.
And that's sock.
She'll harassment, bro.
Grade A hashtag feet to baby feet to mean I'll tell you that that's what I'm saying.
These rooms are built to steal your shit.
The carpet is always a special pattern.
You set someone to you.
Never see it again.
It won't be anything.
You'll set a damn four year old on the floor.
You'll never see him.
He blend right in into the damn carpet.
So you got to be careful because motel rooms is set up to steal your shit.
But anyway, oh, you asked the business and biceps crew.
I went over there and I did an episode of their podcast and man, it was great.
You know, it was something that I really needed actually.
And those guys are Maurice Claret, John Fosco and, um, and Corey G.
And one of them is a male model, you know, which is, is what it is.
But it's, you know, they're good people.
Maurice Claret is a famed athlete and a, um, and he works with, uh, people in recovery
and people, you know, getting their lives on track and people getting themselves better
emotionally acclimated to the world.
Um, and John Fosco does the marketing.
He was marketing for UFC for a long time with Dana White and now he does, uh, he's had some
of his own businesses.
They're all business men and they're based out of here in Ohio and they came on my pod
on this, on this, this, this past weekend, about six months ago and, um, and I was happy,
man.
We had a great time, drove out there, they got a cool studio and we kicked it and, uh,
you know, I got a lot more from them honestly than I was really expecting.
Um, now for Maurice, I feel he is a, I mean, he is just like, uh, he's like the garden
of Eden when it comes to being able to, I think really offer clear and concise and relatable
help to people that struggle.
Um, so him, I kind of, you know, I, I, I like him, he's like this, this fountain of truth
a little bit that you can go around and, you know, it's just, uh, he has some real special
gifts.
So I love listening to him and the other two guys, you know, it's, I didn't know what
I was going to get.
Sometimes I mean, I've listened to some episodes of their pod, but, but this, it was really
great man.
You know, they, we talked about what's going on with me with business and, um, and just
sometimes how I feel, like what keeps me from maybe achieving some of my dreams, like really
just like embracing the confidence of just my dream, you know, just like saying, this
is mine, you know, this, uh, this is my destiny and, you know, not second guess to myself
and, and really trying to be more of, um, I guess not being afraid to be a leader, uh,
of myself really, you know, not of others, but really just to be able to not be afraid
to lead myself.
Um, so it was interesting.
You left me with a lot of things to think about and it was great.
It was honestly a really, I thought it was a real heartfelt episode.
So, uh, and it was nice to not have to steer the show and just to be a, to be a guest.
You know, I like being a guest, you know, um, and then what's funny all my life, I've
liked being a guest.
I love going over to people's houses.
I love being, you know, always get more nervous when people come into my area and I do better
when I go into somebody else's area, but it was, man, it was, it was great.
It was one of the, it was one of the best times I've had on a podcast and that's saying
a lot cause I've, you know, been able to be fortunate and listen to some real guys, uh,
and share some time with some real different pods.
Um, but thanks for calling gang, gang, man, and I just added some dates actually in New
York city and that's May, I think third and fourth or fourth and fifth.
Um, let's take this call that came in right here.
Here we go.
Hey, it's George from Melbourne, Australia.
Hello, Joe.
Uh, that's not, that's a British accent.
I'm sorry.
I'm not going to try to impersonate your accent.
Um, hello, George.
Thank you for calling me.
Um, I'm calling because I have a whole heap of spare time on my hands and I guess that's
why I'm calling into this podcast.
Well, better than masturbating and just touching yourself and that's what I used to do.
But I think right now I'm like 70 days off of no masturbation, uh, pornography.
Sorry, I fucking came recently, but off of pornography, you know, I bust still, but I'm
not watching them, them titty vitties.
You feel me?
Let's hear more, George.
But I just don't know what to do with all this time, man.
What, what do you think?
If you had all this spare time, if you had to keep the free time, what would you do?
Um, fly a kite, learn a skill, go surfing.
Who knows?
Cheers.
Keep up the good work, George.
Dude, well, first of all, if I was in Australia and I had free time, I would try to do that,
uh, get the little bit of that, that fucking Kanga belly.
You feel me?
Every time I leave this on, what's wrong with me?
I would try to get that Kanga belly where you sneak up on a kangaroo and try to get
your hand in that little freaking, you know, into that pocket.
Bam boy hit him with that.
Bam.
If you get one hand in there, if you can, if you, if you get two hands in there, bro,
you're going to heaven.
You know that.
If you look, if you can approach a stranger who that's what I call him a kangaroo, you
don't know, because do kangaroos are fight.
Okay.
The other, I mean, kangaroos are the damn, you know, the other George St. Pierre is a
fucking, you know, the far East Australia and they will, they fight.
Do you put a couple of dollars down between two kangaroos?
They'll beat the fuck out of each other, man.
I mean, it's like, I mean, it's wild.
You know, this is some damn, you know, they're real animals, but if you get that one hand
in there in that pocket, if you get both hands in that kangaroo pocket, boy, you're going
to heaven, dude, and that's that KP challenge, bro, that, that kangaroo pocket challenge.
See if you could sneak up on a stranger who one, you don't know and get both hands in
his pocket.
Good luck with that shit.
But what would I do with my spare time, brother?
I will tell you right now, I would, I'd probably go visit, I'd probably go see Theo Vaughn
in Australia.
And the dates that I'm going to be there are Friday, every time, Friday, May 24th in Melbourne,
Melbourne, Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia at Goldfields Theater Saturday, May 25th at
the Metro Theater in Sydney, Sunday, May 26th in Perth at the Astor Theater, Astor Theater,
and Saturday, June 1st in Brisbane at the Plaza Auditorium.
So I'm very excited.
Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane, Goldfields Theater, Metro Theater, Astor Theater and
Plaza Auditorium.
And that's current.
This is just wild, you know, to think that I'm going to Australia and do shows, man.
I'm so excited and, you know, I'm nervous, I guess, because I don't know if, you know,
I'm just worried like what if some of the jokes don't go or people don't know what I'm
talking about.
But I guess I can just try and think about it before and do my best, dude, you know, and
do my best.
So pretty cool, man.
I'm really honored and I'm really, really excited as well.
We had New York dates just went on sale those tickets at Carolines on Broadway, May 3rd
and 4th.
Otherwise, West Palm Beach, Kansas City, Phoenix, San Jose, Atlantic City and the new shows
of Boston, Medford and Medford, Massachusetts at the Chevalier Theater.
Otherwise, I'll see you in Houston, February 21st and 23rd.
So thank you so much to everybody from Australia, man, I've gotten, I bet I've gotten probably
600 DMs about people asking and, you know, and just asking me to come.
And so, you know, I feel honored to feel welcome and thank you very much.
And I'm kind of scared, I'm excited, you know, this is just crazy, man, you know, it's crazy
that I get to live my dreams and, you know, and I do, I want to try and work on just being
more confident and just embracing, you know, embracing my dreams and not feeling bad about
sometimes I feel bad about the opportunities that I have or that I'm getting for some reason.
It's so weird, man, you know, I feel bad about the opportunities.
I feel like, I don't know, sometimes I just feel like ashamed of, of even getting good
opportunities.
You know, it's just something that's in my head that, you know, that doesn't want me
to feel good almost about anything sometimes.
And that's my alcoholism.
That's my, you know, that's that negative self-tape.
And that was one thing we talked about on the Business and Biceps podcast.
And I don't work for those guys or ever.
That's just, you know, I think they're a special group.
Now, John Fosco will get on your fucking nerves sometimes, but, but then other episodes, he
will be your absolute favorite.
So he's kind of like a stepdad, you know, sometimes you're like this fucking guy, but
other times you're like that fucking guy, wow.
What else, man?
But that's your answer.
What I would do with my spare time, I would go see Theo Vaughn at one of those places
in Australia.
And I'm so happy to be announcing those dates.
I can't even believe it.
I'm like really just keyed up.
Fuck, man.
I feel like buying a damn eight ball, bro, you know.
But what else do I like to do with my spare time?
Things I would really like to do.
We're finishing the pilot shoot this week.
We got Jim Jeffries is going to be on an episode.
So wow.
So excited about that.
Speaking of Australia, you know, the Australian and the British son, you know, the dual citizen,
Mr. Jay Jeffries.
And sorry, this episode is a little choppy, man, I'm by myself.
I set the camera up by myself, you know, I'm not in the studio.
So, you know, I don't even know if this shit, if you can hear it.
So good luck.
But I want to take this comment.
You guys will be happy to hear this.
And what a blessing.
We got a call from from my boy today right here.
Trick along Mickey.
Everybody's been asking about him.
And this was a gentleman we met about a year and a half ago that had cystic fibrosis.
You know, he had them fucking danger bags, bro.
His lungs was all shook out and beat down.
And the devil was just trying to grow fucking dirty Spanish malls up in the sides of his
air cages.
And then something came up, you know, and then the Lord went looking for the boy and
he got new lungs, baby.
He got them new fucking O2 hitters in him, them fucking baby fucking breasty bags, bro.
You know, them fucking silly, silly sense sacks that he's got and he's puffing on some
fucking bad motor scooters right now.
And I've been asking him to call in and and he did.
And man, listen to his voice even sounds better.
You know what?
Here you go.
What's up, Theo, man, this is Trick Along Mickey.
Hey, man, just giving you a call to check in and give you an update to my life and everything.
Man, my health has been, it's been crazy, dude.
It's been great.
Ever since my recovery, things have been just absolutely amazing.
I had a really amazing recovery where real fast, I got healthy real quick.
And nowadays, man, I'm just relearning how to live life again.
I'm just trying to relearn.
You know, I had a job recently and I quit that job because I'm in such jobs, right?
But then I also started dating again and, you know, working out, boxing here and there.
And man, life is going good, man.
And I just want to reach out to you and tell you how things have been and we haven't talked
a little bit.
And yeah, man, thank you so much, dude, to everybody who was listening and it gave me
any messages or anything like that and to you very much, Theo, man.
I love you, man.
And here we go.
Live in a real life.
And I'm more than excited to be able to do so, man.
I'll chat you up later, dude.
Wow.
In that cool man, live in a real life.
And you know, we're going to have Mickey in the studio sometime soon.
And I wish if I had the capabilities this week, I would go back and play some of his
old calls up, some of his old where you can, you know, he didn't know if he was going to
live, man.
And he really didn't, you know, and he was, he was like, I think in the top couple on
the transplant list and it was, you know, coming down to it and he was in ICU for a
long time and, uh, and then it came through, you know, it came through and they hit him
with them fucking puff wings, brother them lungs.
And he got a set of them freaking bad fucking rib cage roller skates, you know, them fucking
baby back chimneys, son.
And now listen to him, he said he's dating, bro.
You know, he's out there busting nuts, boy.
And then he should be, you know, imagine how much good nut you got locked up in your body.
I mean, I can't, you know, if you got bad lungs, you could probably barely get any seed
out of your body or probably just, you know, kind of climbs out a little at a time, you
know, like a couple of people, you know, getting out of like, you know, if a truck turned over
on its side and everybody's trying to get out one of the windows, but now he's out there
and he's got some real heat.
You know, he's got them heat sacks in him and he's flowing big, I bet.
And he's dating.
He quit a job, dude.
Fuck yeah, bro.
That's a, that's the, that's living baby, telling somebody, oh, fuck you, I'm leaving.
And then going back to the next day and be like, Hey man, I'm really, you know, I need
this job back.
I said, man, you're living, that's living.
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
And I want to hear about that.
I would love to have him in man.
He was his, you know, Mickey's take was so clear on like what, what he was so honest
about some of the thoughts and feelings he was having about, about when he wasn't doing
well.
And when he wasn't sure he was going to make it and he came out to my shows and he looked
man, he, you know, he looked kind of Italian, but also kind of like amphibian, you know,
he was, cause you get kind of jaundice, you know, you turn a little bit, a bit of jaundice,
you know, the devil puts that yellow number seven in you when they take, when your lungs
are bad, when you got dirty lungs and he was shook out.
But uh, man, it's so good to hear his voice.
Just listen to how good he sounds even call to a, to check in and give you an update to
my life and everything.
Man, my health has been, it's been crazy to listen to the octaves on that boy.
He's fucking hitting different levels.
He's finished.
He couldn't make it through a sentence.
This dude made, couldn't make it through a sentence.
I mean, he was like the Ted Bundy of sentences.
He would escape or just die.
You know, he couldn't make it through a sentence, but now here he is dropping full paragraphs.
Amen.
Baby.
Let's take another call here.
This came in on the hotline 956649503.
Thank you guys.
Always for calling.
Onward.
What's up?
Mr. Theo Vaughn.
This is Spencer from Ogden, Utah.
What's up Spencer from Ogden, Utah and Utah is one of the states that have a lot of secret
jewels in the ground and you know, special ores, gold onward and game.
I went to your show in Salt Lake, it was amazing by the way, but I just listened to that Howie
Mandel podcast and you talked about identical twins and that they have to fight it out because
it's witchcraftery and whatnot.
But I have a twin brother myself, I'm a 24 years old and but we're fraternal so I want
to ask you, do we have to fight to the death because if we do, I'm kind of fucked.
He's got a bigger dick than me, probably like six inches bigger.
Dude, six inches bigger, that's then you don't have any dick.
So do you have a dick or not would be probably where to start?
Let's move onward.
I appreciate sharing though, some of this weight, he has a girlfriend, she's got a lot
of good stuff going for him and I'm just, I'm just here listening to podcasts.
Hell, I love your podcast.
I just laugh.
So I don't know if that's good or let me know if fraternal twins can stay alive or need
to fight for the death.
Well I'll say this, bud, I mean in my book you win because I'd love to keep you as somebody
that's part of the curious crew that absorbs these episodes.
You know, he's got a girl from people who have done that, that's not a real new deal.
You know, he's got a job, bro, well that's good.
Everybody should have a job, everybody should work.
He, but yeah man, look, if y'all look, here's the thing, if y'all look the same and y'all
are fucking with people, really what you're doing is just long-term magic, oh he's there,
now I'm there, you know, who's that, oh yeah, your names are Randy and Landy, like get the
fuck out of here with all of that, y'all figure it out, just cause your mom's vagina
kind of stuttered both y'all out of there, doesn't mean everybody else should have to
be all confused.
So look man, if you're identical twins, dude, I think y'all should take shifts, but having
both y'all out in the world at the same time isn't fair.
So if you want to fight it out or do it out, man, I don't blame you, bro, cause whatever
else y'all are doing, y'all are, there's no way you could live a full life if somebody
over there living half your life, come on, what do you think I am, man, you think I was
born in 1961, bro, no sir, but you know, so maybe challenge him to some real shit, you
challenge him to some shit you could win, you know, like maybe do a staring contest,
if he's stronger, start with the eyes, bro, you don't know who's strong, you know, you
never know, he probably don't do like a lot of eye exercises, you know, a lot of optical
chart work, so hit him where it fucking hurts, man, you know, start to know some shit about
him, do some seance or something, weed you bored as ass, dude, he's half of you running
around and you're just fucking chilling, bro, tighten up, dude, but I appreciate you calling,
man, I appreciate you calling in with that information and just, I can't imagine if somebody,
if I look over and they got somebody just like me and they got a girl with big tits,
bro, and I'm just over here just looking at my own meat and sometimes like drawing little
nipples on my nuts and kind of squeeze them into the end of the bag so it looks like like
a little set of tits, bro, I mean, that's, that's wild, man, it's snowing out here, it's
beautiful.
I'm going off, yeah, dude, if you fucking double hand that fucking K pocket, son, straight
to heaven.
Let's hear this.
Onward.
Hey, B.O.
It's Ali from Reno, just having a hard day at work, but I just wanted to call you and
tell you that I just got a ferret to go to be little best friends with my other ferret
in the issue.
Oh yeah, ferrets like having buddies.
If you see one ferret by itself, man, oh, so sad.
You see two ferrets always running all over each other and they'll urinate on each other.
If you want to watch something urinate on each other and it's not people, bro, you know,
you're not an Amsterdam or something and you got, you know, you got some time to kill or
something while your wife shopping, then you got to get two ferrets because in bad cats
will piss all over each other, bro.
I mean, it's like, damn, I mean, it's just like, it's like a, you know, that's the Lord's
lemonade stand rather a pair of ferrets.
Thank you for calling in and thank you for calling from Reno.
And if you also want to, uh, I mean, Reno is just a lot of AA meetings and unemployment
over there, a lot of disability checks, boy, a lot of debility checks, hitting, hitting
mailboxes over there in Reno, boy, beautiful, visually beautiful landscape, a lot of AA
meetings.
If you're trying to get better, bro, go to Reno, worst slot machines in the world, Laughlin
and Reno.
Dude, people, I was there for a whole weekend, two times, nobody won nothing.
Let's take more onward.
And me and my boyfriend are big fans and we named him Theo after you full name Theo Vaughn.
So I just want to tell you that he's a little bit stinky, he kind of looks like you, but
that's all.
Oh, now I could see that.
I could see me looking like a ferret.
You know, I'm kind of lean, kind of long in the nose, got hair on my chinny, chin, chin.
So yeah, I could see that.
I wet the bed laws about 28.
So I think you made a good choice.
You know, I mean, you could be the damn Mayor of Reno as far as I'm concerned.
It sounds like you made a real solid choice there.
And thank you for blessing that animal with my name.
And I'd love to meet that animal at some point.
You know, someone, someone months ago sent me a picture of a Chinese kid and they named
him Theo Vaughn.
And I thought that was pretty cool.
This is like a year.
Actually, this is about a year and a half ago.
So now we got a Chinese, you know, a young Chinese and a ferret.
So pretty cool.
Let's take a call right here, 985-664-9503 is the hotline.
And thank you to everybody that came out of Columbus this weekend.
I don't know if I expressed that enough.
I know I always do that on these, but I mean, you don't realize like the, the people that
work at these clubs constantly tell me, man, you're, you have the best audiences.
They're like, they're just good people.
They come in, they're enjoying the show and they're having fun and, and it's just, man,
it's cool.
You know, it's really cool.
And I feel grateful of just to meet everybody I get to meet.
You know, this dude said, oh, I'm at two twins this weekend.
And look, man, they, I was like, man, y'all need to, one of y'all need to just shut it
down.
I mean, maybe if y'all in different hemispheres, I can see it working, but with both y'all
in the same place, it seems like cheating.
What else do we have come out?
We had, I mean, everybody, people drove from Pittsburgh, Cleveland, people drove in, I
met people that I'd seen before at the shows in Nashville and then I saw them here.
You know, we had some people from recovery came out, man, some really great people.
Just a good, just a good time.
You know, I'm pretty fortunate young man to be able to make you guys laugh.
And I hope I did that.
Let's take this hitter here.
Here we go.
Hi Theo.
My name is Jessica and I'm a nurse.
I live in Tucson, Arizona.
Oh, thank you for calling Jessica.
Yes, my mother lives in Tucson and she just put her, she just put her husband in a, in
an Alzheimer's unit because he got Alzheimer's.
Let's hear more.
But I felt compelled to call because even though our occupations are very different, I feel
that there's some similarities.
I felt like I needed to call and send you some love.
Well, thank you.
That's sweet of you.
My sister's a nurse and I think it's one of the most amazing jobs you can have not, not
because my sister has it.
But I just, you know, a lot of nurses that I met are just amazing people.
You know, they have a billy, an ability to care about others, not just at work, but even
in the regular lives and it's just like a, it's just like, it's like you and I breathing.
It's just like a natural thing for them.
And, and man, it's just, it's special.
They're special people.
They have a special gift to care for others that really I admire.
Let's hear more.
You're talking about the dream you had with helping your neighbor find their seat and
you talking about being tired.
But I know nurses can experience what they call a caregiver burnout and it happens when
you give of yourself consistently and forget or neglect to take care of yourself.
And I feel like, I feel like you do that too.
You're always giving of yourself of your time and your energy and making people laugh, which
is a beautiful thing.
I just felt like maybe practicing some self love and by self love, I mean, for me, I,
I work out, I do boxing and that is a great outlet for me.
And listening to podcasts like yours really helps a lot too.
So that's about it.
I just wanted to tell you, I love you and thank you for what you do.
You're a, you're a bright light in this world.
Well, you are, you know, you're much brighter light than I will ever be.
You are a nurse, you know, and being by people's bedside when they're really scared.
Um, man, that's a real powerful and brave place to be.
You know, they should call you a lifeguards.
People buy a pool, gets a lifeguard.
No, that dude ain't doing shit, bro.
He up there trying to fuck, honestly, you know, or some lady up there trying to show
off her legs and put the tanning on them, you know, the shine, you know, the oil.
They y'all should be the lifeguards and y'all should get the whistle.
And if somebody about to die, you whistle at them and they just pop right back up because
nurses are the real lifeguards.
You know, y'all ain't sitting up there and you got a, here's the thing.
If you're a lifeguard at a pool, somebody's drowning, you throw them that little thing,
that little, you know, hey, do with yourself, cheerio, but nurse, you got to figure it out.
You got to make choices quit.
You know, y'all should get, you know, they should give y'all a cut, you know, a syringe
of HGH or something.
And if there's somebody's passing out, just, you know, dexter them in the neck and just
bring them back real fast and get them going.
But it's just, I always leave my email on somebody.
But yes, for some reason, it's always, they get all the credit lifeguards and y'all are
the real lifeguards nurses.
And for some reason, yeah, they get all the credit, but you guys are the real lifeguards.
You know, I'll tell you this.
If I'm in the deep end of a disease, I don't want some dude over there, you know, or some
lady with them big tatties out there, Brenda or something, you know, and she just putting
tan and oil on her body, you know, or there's some do with bangs over his face.
He can't even see I'm fucking drowning.
And he's over here just looking all just quaffed out and well conditioned.
He got sunglasses over the bangs and he's a lifeguard.
Fuck that.
Dude, if next time I'm at a pool, bro, I'm bringing a nurse, bro, I'm bringing an R in.
And I'll, you know, that's what I'm doing real lifesavers.
So sorry, I got fired up about that right there.
Let me tell you this, I'm going to tell you this right here.

I go support my own podcast.
I use the codes and I go to the different places and I use these things, you know, because
I believe in what I'm doing.
And so I want to support the companies that support us because they're advertising through
us.
And thank you guys for any of you guys who have used these companies.
And I love me undies and I'm happy to be here with you guys today.
All right, thank you nurse for calling in and you know you're right.
I'm going to try to do some maybe less Thursday episodes and I got to slow it down a little
bit because I'm just, you know, I've been feeling a little bit overwhelmed.
And some of its fear of messing up and fear of not doing stuff.
Some of it's wanting, you know, I've had to go from being a comedian, just a guy screwing
around to more of a guy like running, you know, his future, I think.
And right now is a real transition period for me.
And so it's been different, you know, I used to just be the guy, I could just show up at
the club and do the sets and go home.
And now people are there and so I have a responsibility and then also, you know, people are like,
Oh, I want to get a shirt and so you want to have merchandise, but you want to have fair
price merchandise and you want to have good merchandise.
So, you know, you try and deal with stuff like that.
And then, you know, you I want to start a kids channel so that I can entertain, you
know, do fun stuff for children that could be entertaining or seek out some, you know,
help other friends that want to create stuff for children.
And you know, I want to do, you know, some outreach, I want to help others.
I don't want to be someone that gets opportunities and just takes for themselves.
So I want to, you know, try and do this kind of stuff.
And it's like, suddenly I feel like a lot of pressure to do it all at once.
And I don't know, I guess I just feel, I think some of the truth is that I just feel
like, if I don't constantly do something, then people aren't going to see that I'm a
good person.
You know, like if I don't like, if I'm not always doing, trying to do something good,
then nobody will think that I'm an okay person or maybe even an okay person.
And I think some of that goes from when I was young, I just never felt seen, you know,
I never felt seen when I was a child.
I just never felt seen.
I never had any feedback on what I was doing or who I was.
I just never felt, I just, you know, I felt like, you know, I just wasn't seen by my parent,
by my parents.
I wasn't seen.
You know, and when you're not seen, you don't, things aren't recognized.
So then you start running at a frantic pace because there's no one telling you, okay,
hey, you know, you don't have to always be trying to do something for people to think
you're somebody that does something.
You can sometimes not do something and people are still going to think that you're somebody
that does something because of your history of trying to do stuff.
But when nobody tells you that, you just keep showing up and feeling like you have to do
stuff.
And it's, and I don't feel like I need validation.
I don't feel like that's what I'm looking for or, and some of this is stuff I don't know.
It's just like stuff I've just been thinking about.
But I just, like, if I don't keep doing stuff, then I just, then I just feel like I don't
know what I'm doing, that I'm not doing anything or something.
I don't know when some of that's the side effect of not being seen.
I just never felt seen as a child.
I felt alive.
I felt, but I just never felt, I don't know.
I just started to feel like nobody knew who I was and I didn't even know.
And some of that is, and I'm not angry at my parents, I'm not angry at, but some of
that is a parent's responsibility to connect with the child on a level where the child
sees them and, you know, lets them know that they're okay and just, and they feel seen,
you know?
They feel understood.
They feel, I don't know, I just keep coming back to this word feeling seen.
Somebody said it the other day in a meeting and they said that, you know, they never felt
seen by their parents and, and it just, man, something in me just like unlocked and just
and I just was like, wow, that's something that I always felt.
I never felt seen.
You know, I just like, I just want you to see me, you know, that's what I would think
to my mother.
I just want you to see me, you know, like, what do I have to do to make you see me?
You know, I just want to be okay.
I just, I just want you to see me, you know, but I need to do some stuff to take better
care of myself.
I'm not even thinking about maybe even taking a vacation over Valentine's and doing some,
but thank you for thinking of me.
That's very sweet of you.
And that just shows what kind of people nurses are.
And I love you.
Let's take this call right here.
Hey man, this past weekend, I, well, I got fired from driving for five years, but I'm
really just calling to like, I'm sorry to hear that, man.
Five years is a good run, though.
People don't work somewhere for five minutes, you know, some people, they don't work at
Popeyes long enough to grill up a damn wing or something.
So congratulations, dude.
Caller to caller, I just want to thank all your callers because like I'm doing pretty
well.
All things considered, you know, you had that guy who last week you called in and you got
hit by a car or a bus or something after he lost his job and, you know, it, it sucks.
It fucking sucks, but it's, uh, well, I'd rather get hit by a bus, at least a bus.
You get hit by a group of people, you know, so at least it's more, I think community oriented
a car.
You get hit by one fucking dude who's reaching for a Dr. Pepper or a diet sprite and he ain't
paying attention.
He fucking clips you out and I got hit by a trans am a silver trans am when I was young.
No car, bro, but still doesn't matter, man, hurt on work.
It's because, uh, because your show, man, that, you know, I got my chin up and I'm pretty
optimistic.
And so, uh, yeah, I just wanted to, I just want to thank you and, and all, and all your
callers and, uh, because, uh, because I'm, I'm optimistic about moving on to something
else and, uh, and, uh, and yeah, and, and I, and I really think that, uh, your podcast
has played a real, real part in that and that feeling that I, that I have right now, I feel
motivated to move on to something new and, uh, so yeah, I just wanted to call them and
say, thank you.
Well, thank you, man.
And I wish you good luck with that new experience.
Do you sound?
Yeah.
If you're aware and you're staying, just stay in the pocket, you know, and just ask the
world for a new something new and you're going to, you're going to, you're going to
get it.
You know, it sounds like you're a hard worker, you're a committee, you don't think that the
world wants you in a good place with a good job that you're going to enjoy and thrive
in.
Yes.
I believe that it does, man, and you're going to get there and, and thank you for calling
in because you saying that, that lifts other people up.
It's just a circle, man.
We're just caught in a neat circle that we all, you know, are, uh, we're all here holding
together the, the round edges of as a group, but it's pretty cool.
We're best of luck to you, man, with the new, with the new experience and I can't wait
to see what you get.
I bet it's going to be awesome.
You know, somebody was going to do an episode of the, of the man up pilot, the comedy central
pilot.
And like at the last minute they bail, you know, and I was like, why, and they had like
some obtuse excuses and, but in the end it doesn't matter what their excuses were.
You know, they didn't want to do it.
And it was, it kind of hurt my feelings.
It was somebody I'd done some stuff for and it was like, why would you, you know, and
the reason they didn't even, and I text them, they didn't get back to me, but fast forward
a few days and we have an even better entertainer, the two entertainers who have joined on.
And it was just what was supposed to happen.
And as angry as I was, I remember even, I wasn't that angry actually.
I was upset at first.
I was a little bit angry at the person, but then I was like, well, this is what's supposed
to happen.
What am I going to struggle against what's supposed to happen for no reason?
And I kind of settled down and then something even greater came along, a greater experience.
So you just don't know what's right around that corner, man.
You just don't know, and that corner is not going to show it to you until we're willing
sometimes to say, all right, I'm going to take some faith and just stand here and wait
for something to come around that corner, rather than to be turning back and looking
at whatever and angry at whatever just happened, whatever went away.
Because if I turn back and look down the wall of the building on the court, of the side
of the court, the edge of the corner I'm on, then I'm going to miss whatever's coming
right back or whatever's coming right around.
I'm going to miss it.
But are you staying there with some patience, some faith, some hope, man?
I think the world wants good things for us.
It really does.
Let's take one more call right here.
Hey, Phil.
This is Ben from Kentucky.
Man, I was just thinking, you're always talking about, you know, like connect with your siblings,
stuff like that.
I've been in a situation, you know, where I kind of, I grew up away from my sisters
and we've gotten closer, you know, over the last few years, but I'm in the situation where
their lives are felt just crazy, like they're like, they turn into like these like street
queens.
Oh yeah, a lot of bad bitches out there.
Let's hear more.
Like working a waffle house, working a strip club, gang, gang, boy, you know, I get that
eggs and cheese and that raisin toast, boy.
And I want two scoops of grit, son.
And I want you to take the hair net off while you cook it, baby girl or boy, because I like
my shit real, you know what I'm saying?
I like that waffle house, man.
Dude, I want that fucking, I want a little bit of fucking methadone sprinkled on them
fucking griots, baby.
And I want that chocolate meal.
I love waffle house, son.
I want people fucking fist fighting in the parking lot.
When I get there, that's because I know the food's going to be hot.
You know, when people fucking, you know, if people out front fist fight and they got enough
energy and they belly to fight because they've been in there eating the good hitters at waffle
house and I want that waffle.
I want that perfectly motherfucking shaped waffle, bro.
And I want that thing to taste a little bit like a waffle and a little bit like just like
nothing but hard air.
I want that thing to taste like it was made in dang China, brother.
You feel me?
And I want that syarap on that thang.
I want that fucking sweet drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.
I want that thing all our calat up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's how I like my shit.
And I want somebody to quit.
I want one of the, one of the cooks to quit while I'm there eating, bro.
If somebody fucking quits, my shit tastes better, bro.
If somebody quits at the grill, my food tastes even better.
I want that anarchy, bro.
I want that anarchy going on around me while I'm enjoying my WH onward.
And now the situation is one of my sisters is when a bad situation where she actually
saw a charge against her boyfriend, uh, well, we knew that was going to happen onward.
Like being kidnapped and raised and just, you know, crazy stuff.
And my other sister is saying that she don't believe her and kind of blaming each other.
And now I'm kind of stuck in the middle and I'm trying to be there for both of them because
you know, my other sister, she's, she's actually, she's going to be like losing our house.
She's lost her job or she's in a real bad spot right now because she's afraid to go
back to that area just because people are saying that she's making this up.
Um, I was trying to see, you know, what would you do as far as trying to be there for both,
you know, both halves of it without actually, you know, you know, what would you do to make
the right decision there?
I appreciate you gang gang gang gang, bud.
You know, you know what?
I'll offer some experience from this.
I have a sister, you know, and, uh, and she'd been in and out of some tough stuff and, um,
and you know, whether I can do, I can offer, I can ask, how can I help?
And I will let them say, well, you could help like this.
And then I will say, okay, that is something I can do or that is not something that I can
do.
What's another way that I could help.
That way you're being of help.
You're offering to help, um, and you're offering, but there's, you know, you're helping on your
terms as well because getting involved too much, probably it may not be getting me less
help than it, than, than you think, um, you know, you could pray for them.
You could think, you know, you could see if you could offer them, is there a way, you
know, a financial way that I could help is, uh, maybe getting them into a 12 step program
or something like that where they're, then they can develop a, uh, you know, a way to
manage their own lives better.
That's what 12 step programs do.
They help people manage their own lives.
People always give it these names, sex addiction and drug addiction and alcoholism.
That's just something on the outside.
That's that accoutrement.
The real deal is somebody learning a way to manage their own life better.
Um, so you could offer to go to a meeting with them, um, but you can't tell them what
to do.
If they ask for a suggestion, you can offer it, you could, or you could offer a suggestion.
You could offer a suggestion and see if they want a suggestion, uh, telling them what to
do, isn't going to help, um, thinking they should do something.
Nobody should do anything.
You know, even though we think it, we all think it, I think it all the time, somebody
should do, they should do, they should, when I start thinking somebody should do something,
something wrong with me, because nobody's going to do nothing.
They're going to do what they're going to do.
How am I going to react in it?
Hopefully not at all.
Cause it's really none of my business unless it affects me to absolutely towards me.
But I feel your plight, man.
It's hard to be a loving brother as your, as our sisters get older because there's only
so much we can do.
We can't really, you know, they're not young girls that we could, you know, lift them up
onto something or walk them across the street or, you know, and sometimes when we're younger,
we don't make the best choices to help our sisters.
And so we feel we should, we have to make up for that as adults.
Um, you know, I remember my sister, I remember I paid one of my sister's phone bills for
a couple of years, never really mentioned it, uh, and now it has prayed for my sister
all the time, you know, and, um, and I try to be loving to other women that I meet.
I'm not always successful at it, but, uh, you know, sometimes I try to be loving to
other women that I meet because that's somebody else's sister.
And even if I don't have the relationship or able to do something for my sister, I'm
able to do something for somebody else's that still do, it's the same thing.
Um, and I fail all the time at all of that, but those are just some suggestions of things,
but don't be too hard on yourself.
They are adults as well, and they are responsible for their own lives.
And you can just always, you can always check in with them and just tell them you love them
and, uh, and just try and be supportive.
Even if what they're doing may be the wrong thing to you and that's hard to do.
And that's unconditional love.
I think if we can do that and somebody tells you they're doing something like, nah, you
should be doing this.
Say, oh, wow, you can say, how's that working out?
What's going on with that?
Oh, cool.
Good luck.
If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.
But it sounded your heart's in the right place, man, um, and I bet you'll be fine.
And this was a great way to end this episode.
I got to go be on stage in 53 minutes.
So I'm going to shut this down and, uh, I'm not playing that song again on the way out.
We'll just, um, we'll finish with a little, I got this one.
I don't know if we covered everything at all, man.
You know, sometimes I don't know.
I don't know what we're doing, but I had a good time.
I had a great time here in Columbus, man.
I'm going to miss some of this.
No, I wanted to be able to see more of it and play around in it or do something like
that.
You know, but I guess I'm not going to have that experience.
But thank you to everybody that came out.
I feel like there's something I was going to tell you guys, but I don't know.
We'll see.
I'll see you over the rainbow with Dorothy and that little, um, that shitsuit or whatever
it, you know, come daddy's going to outstrain.
Yeah.
But thank you so much, man.
I feel so grateful to have, uh, people come out to my shows that genuinely I can tell care
about me and, um, you know, and I care about you too, man, whoever you are.
And if nobody's told you that they love you, man, I love you or woman, I love you.
And, uh, you know, we're, we're just out here on this ball of dirt and water and we just
have these weird, just, you know, we're emotional creatures, but we're going to be okay.
One foot in front of the other.
That's all we could do and be brave to change to, to make some changes if we can.
You know, nothing changes if nothing changes.
So love you guys, man.
Be good to yourselves.
You deserve it.
Thank you.
