You notice it when you’re up there I noticed went up so for instance that night I thought that um we’re yeah this side um that night I I actually thought I think I remember thinking the crowd was not great because um the night before it was like Bonkers
Right at the Laugh Factory and then like so good and then that night I was like I don’t know what’s up with this crowd I think it’s okay and then when I went up you’re judging that like while you’re off stage in the back yeah I’m kind of
Like feeling it like I I’m not like really watching I don’t I don’t watch The Comedians but like I’ll be like oh I can I can feel it and you know you kind of hear it you’re talking to other people and stuff backstage and then when
I went on I was like okay this isn’t like last night last night was amazing right away it was even crazier no it wasn’t it was it wasn’t I thought the crowd was okay it wasn’t that the crowd was okay it was just like it was I
Remember it was really hot in the room and one of the reason why I remember it was really hot in the room is cuz afterwards when I got off stage and you said hey what’s up and I was like oh what’s up dude I did we didn’t know each
Other were there I I I I hit your shoulder and you were wearing a uh like a long sleeve shirt and I remember thinking oh he must be hot in you that’s why I remember that’s why I remember it was hot cuz you I was like why he’s
Wearing like it was like a long sleeve and I was like oh man that’s not good cuz I was thinking I remember that’s why I remember it was hot CU I hit your shoulder like that like what’s up bro um and it felt I felt like I had a a good
Set but the room was kind of too hot and I feel like the people were like it’s hot in here yes no bro like I I I hadn’t been to a comedy show in a really long time and so I I go to this this Laugh Factory this
Is we were talking about before we hopped on the Pod and uh you were a surprised guest I didn’t even know you’re going to be there I just went there just to see other comedians cuz I like watching comedy yeah I wish I knew you were going to be there yeah and then
You I see you pull up and I’m like I get all excited and the like the whole room shifts like I was asking you before we stepped on I was like do you notice that not there’s not that these other comedians aren’t great there’s tons of good comedians there but like
You’re the whole room because I’ve never seen you in person live like that the whole room was like lit up and you started going oh have you not ever been a been to see me no I’ve seen all your stuff on yeah yeah but not in person not
In person oh cool well thanks first of all but yeah I I um I don’t know I I know I have an energy about me that’s that’s I don’t know man like I don’t like a lot of times people are like um I I I I feel like I’m pretty
For the general public my standup I mean I think I I’m a little um I I I say certain words that I think most a lot of comics wouldn’t say but I say that because you know whatever it was in my dream first of all so it’s
Like but that’s the whole funny part about it is like it’s not is it my fault I dreamt it it was my subconscious yeah right so it’s on my special it’s on you can go to chris.com com and get it it’s called grow or die um but anyway um well so
What okay the grow or die thing yeah by the way I love like The Branding of it was super dope um and the apparel stuff look really cool as well the standup that I saw um was that a part of that no that live no yeah so what what was that
Cuz like I saw that and I was like oh this is really funny and I i’ never seen that before yeah yeah yeah so okay cuz you like you could tell you’re kind of like you I don’t know if it’s just com in general or you specifically but
People are pushing the boundaries more again I think it’s a little of both I think that um comedy has just become for some reason this thing where people any special anybody high profile puts it out and just immediately people try to tear them down you know like it’s
Happening with Chappelle now it doesn’t matter happened with Matt R yeah and like it at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter you know because people we’re still going to go see them but I I think that uh I I don’t purposely try to push the envelope because I think that
If that’s your agenda it’s not I think the main thing you should be is funny right yeah absolutely so if you’re working from that aspect of being funny and you’re thinking okay but I’m not going to have any walls up I’m going to say whatever I want and if people get
Pissed off then that’s okay I know I’m not racist I know I’m not Prejudice I’m just going to do it people think it’s funny great if people aren’t great then you can come up with good stuff but I feel like if you’re coming from like
Let’s see how I can like stir [ __ ] up yeah I don’t I don’t like that stuff like I don’t like like a lot of comedians will just talk about people who are woke and cancelled and this and that and they’re doing it to get a rise
Out of people but like I’m just doing it because I think it’s I think it’s funny you know and it feels genuine I think yeah like the other joke you made bro I’m sorry I interrupted was one of the funniest jokes ever um like you were
Talking about the guy coming out and be like I know you got something good for me like was that a real really happened the whole thing yeah yeah I talked about my podcast um I’ll I won’t get into it too more because you can come see me live
But so good it’s it just I thought I was getting robbed for a second this dude came up to me and it would just um in the in the South I thought I was getting robbed and it it turns out I was not getting robbed but yeah the punch line
Was the best bro so I will kill the joke so that’s new that stuff is new um when I shoot my special I shot it in April yeah first and then I I I it came out in November took a while to kind of cut it together um and I remember thinking like
If I just have like once it comes out I don’t know some comedians will do the stuff in their special and that’s fine I think that you know good for them if they’re going to fill seats and do that and people want to come and see those jokes too that’s
That’s cool but for me I did my special and I was like all right I’ll have half like if they if you come see me now I’ll have half new stuff and half stuff from the special because it’s too hard to just write a whole new hour of something
Yeah in a few months so after I shot it in April I started doing new stuff so by the time it came out in November I would have half and half right understand yeah so dude I remember I had half and half my special came out and the next week I
Was in I think Florida to do gigs and I did did my all my new stuff my first half of my new stuff and I was like okay so here is going to be the special some of the stuff from the special and I didn’t know how many
People had seen it in the room but I I I thought I can’t I can’t do that I’m so bored of it dude and I just started talking about my family I started talking about my mom and dad things that I thought maybe might be funny and that
Became my next hour yeah it was just it I I I it is like it’s like pulling teeth dude like to for me to do stuff that I’ve already that’s already been filmed I it’s it’s it’s so boring to me I don’t know and and not everyone has seen it I know and
It’s just like but I already did it it’s on camera that’s crazy I mean it’s obviously way different that’s how I felt about like just content that I made on YouTube and Instagram which is completely different but what do you mean like you the same thing where it’s
Like I’ve done so like lifting videos I’ve done lifted a girl here lifted a girl there like I’ve done all these different sort of like feet strengths things that I’ve done where I’m like okay what else I’ve done everything yeah it’s it’s way different obviously but I
Understand the idea of like I mean no I I understand though it’s like it’s like you want people once people you know what it used to be like that I think it figur I figured that out like in in when vine started remember that app Vine
Absolutely like I got big on Vine and then I would start to do these series of things like i’ do every now and then I’d do this joke uh I’d make of something or I do a character and then after I did it like six times and like someone on the
Street was like dude I love that character I’m like I’m done I don’t know what it is I don’t know what it is dude I don’t know what it is it’s like oh oh you know me for that I’m not doing that I’m G to do and and it’s benefited me
Because in content Wise It’s benefited me because I do more more more different stuff yeah and some of the stuff is not as good as the stuff that people like you should do the you know but I’ll never I I just I don’t I don’t know what
That that is it might be like a it might be something it might have something to do with like a self-sabotage or in insecurity but it makes me do more because you don’t want to do the same thing again yeah yeah yeah it’s interesting I
Mean does like how do you how do you know when you’re when you’re making the stuff do you know what’s going to hit versus not hit like CU When those things hit and it’s like there’s that oh you’re that guy who do this thing did you think
That that was going to be the thing that people were going to recognize you for like or there a few of them yeah like when I first when I had my first special I did the the drunk this drunk girls bit and I it was like I think it was like
Nine 10 minutes long I was like this is going to be the thing that like if Comedy Central puts it out there it’s gon to it’s going to blow me up it did and um and then and then I think my first my first Netflix special was it I
Can’t remember I think it was I think it was incable I think uh yes speaking of that you were you were all over all of these platforms and now you’re on your own platform yeah do they do they would they let you back on do you want to be
Back on I don’t I haven’t tried but um I don’t know I have no idea but also there’s something weird about how people can just kind of like take everything from you so H I want to do it my own way so it’s like if well first of all because you were all
Over I know but if I I know but if I say certain words yeah they’re not going to put me on anyway so I don’t want to live in fear of that yeah so I I just I’ll just do it on my website I make good money yeah so okay like and you
Know I don’t I don’t know it’s I don’t want these corporations to to tell me who I am I I I got I got I I’ve never I’ve never been okay with that and so like and I get like like I think I I don’t think I I I think I wouldn’t say
Like on my on my on my on one of my last Netflix specials I think I was like there was a part where I was like going to say I was like I won’t say it and now I say it on stage it’s like who cares I’m not it’s like if you’re
Gonna be mad at that then all right I’m trying to make a joke and like yeah well that’s the thing of the comedy like the one place where it’s just like why are we making this a problem yeah I it’s really weird too because there’s so much
Going on in the world you know you’re going to get mad at Matt R from a domestic violence joke it’s like it’s a joke yeah it’s like literally a joke but also from a comedian it’s like I know it’s not like if I said it they’d be
Like hey maybe a little weird point is this is the comedy show yeah yeah it’s a comedy show it’s like it’s not like he showed up he’s like I’m going to tell you some real life stories that are sincere and like beating women’s great yeah yeah yeah you know it’s just that’s
What I’m saying like I that I never I never understood that I mean even recently with the Matt R thing I’m like yo CH the like what the are people doing like we can’t comedy has to be like the one place you can’t you can’t treat it
That way you can’t treat it like it’s just like nah yeah it’s weird and people want to like rip everything from that that that person like it’s it’s really and they say like it’s bro my favorite is it’s violent it’s violent to say that like dude oh wait that’s another
Joke want funny than I don’t want to do it here but like dude it’s not it’s it is not violent to say something that’s it yeah that’s it that’s where it stops you don’t need to have a conversation after that oh but no yeah like I guess you
Could say it’s violent if if I’m like hey dude kill that yeah it’s violent as and you say okay and you kill him then okay I got some steak in that and that’s kind of up of me and it wasn’t a joke and it wasn’t on stage to a thousand
People at my comedy show right but like dude you can’t say like this whole thing about Chappelle was like oh he’s violent towards trans people dude no he’s not he’s not he’s just not not at all not even a little bit he’s the opposite he’s trying to make everyone laugh this is
The opposite of violence bro it’s that’s the craziest part and but haven’t you though noticed that like there’s a lot more people now who are voicing like yo what the are y’all doing yes there are yes there are however and I think the tide will turn but if I was beholden to
These networks especially like dude if I was on a on NBC yeah I couldn’t be saying this stuff right now yeah I I I could but dude they they would do things like not renew the show or like recast yeah I I I can’t live like that dude I can’t live
Like that yeah it’s crazy it’s Bonkers especially comedy you know and so you know yeah especially comedy and they try to tear you down for one reason or another and it’s it it is what it is and the people who are around me that I keep
Around me they know I’m a good person so it I you know it’s like it’s weird it’s weird but it’s how it is and I know the pendulum will swing I guess or it will just break up and everything will be so splintered and different you
Know you know I don’t I don’t know I I don’t know what’s going to happen but yeah I think it just keeps going it keeps going it’s coming back again like you know you saw that you saw Elon mus talk about like Disney and all this
Stuff like you’re not g to make me do what for money and I think I think just more people like that are you know that a lot of people look at are just starting to like be like what the going on like why are we allowing these things
I mean there’s an argument to I I think I mean there’s an argument to like what Elon was saying I think because Elon you get he gets so much you know yeah and and and to say to get so much makes you react so like these guys who
Are really big like him and whoever when when that guy says so how do you feel about this he ends up saying something like you don’t do this and that’s a reaction off of all the he’s been taking when in actuality he maybe a better way to have
Said that would have been something like look you know I know some brands are going to do this because of this and if they don’t want to do that then so be it but I can’t live like that yeah but we live in a world where everything is
Everyone feels that in one way or another I they feel like they’re getting on in one way or another so now when Elon Musk says them those people are like f yes and it’s only bad all of it is only bad because there’s just too much emotion
Going on I see what you’re saying it’s like I Elon Musk what at the heart of what he’s saying he he means well dude and he’s like you should be able to say what you want you know if Brands aren’t going to with us then then okay but then
He says off and then everyone says either yeah or they think oh well or they go they the opposite and they’re like well they just get more mad yeah you know what I’m saying everyone gets more mad it’s just the anger is just crazy and at the end of the day it all
Doesn’t matter at all like it doesn’t matter it just I wish people knew it didn’t matter what but you don’t think it matters at all it matters okay so what does it matter so like his his whole part on that that conversation was also about the idea of like these
Companies are not paying ad dollars to my company then they’re directly in relationship to not supporting Free Speech essentially that’s what he was trying to say sure I understand that um yeah and and and of course I think Free Speech matters it’s not what I’m saying but but
Like at the end of the day our lives and I know the slipper slope argument but like you can say what you want and just because you are going to say what you want doesn’t mean that a company has to employ you like I understand that a company you might not
Be good for their brand yeah because of the things you say that’s not against the first or against freedom of speech you know it’s it’s it’s like I had a buddy that was like great they took me off Instagram because I I was saying this [ __ ] and he’s like you should speak
Out and help me and I was like well bro he’s like this is a this is F they’re it’s against the law it’s free speech it’s not free speech I’m like Instagram is a business yeah it’s a private company not not even to mention I didn’t agree with what the guy was
Saying yeah but but he’s like yeah but it doesn’t matter it’s free speech I’m like yeah but it it’s a business dude it’s like but you can still say what you want people are going to be mad about it and that’s okay I guess but I do think it’s weird
That people are cow Towing to like hey this person said this take his job that’s crazy that that’s just crazy people who do that are losers yeah yeah they’re losers it’s it’s weird man the world is getting weirder and weirder right now so weirdo it’s the weirdest it’s ever been yeah I
Mean I I I I asked my my parents you know because they’re like 75 76 and I’m like you know how every generation is like oh it’s getting crazy like everybody said when you know their dads their parents said that oh man when I was a kid it was great you know like
How far back can you when do you how far back can you go like no it wasn’t at some point you didn’t have technology and people were just like didn’t even know what to wipe their asses with and they were just like this is the life like you know so like so
Like I said to my parents I’m like has it like you’re you’ve been around for a long time you know like has it ever been this crazy and they’re like no it was crazy kind of once in the I forget what era they they said but it
Wasn’t this crazy and I was like wow that’s like a real [ __ ] they yeah cuz I’ve asked older people the same thing and they’re like I asked I remember around Co they were like yeah no it’s it’s been crazy but not like this yeah and it’s only progressively since then
Been getting like crazier and crazier so I’m just like you you know as a father and you know you make a lot of jokes around your your family and stuff but like are you are you at all afraid of the way it’s going yeah like I’m I’m I’m I’m I’m a little
I like being a dad like I have a almost he’s almost four and then I have a 9-month-old and like just like the love that I have for them like right behind that there’s almost this sadness of like oh man I love them so much I want the best for
Them I really hope that they’re able to navigate through this world like that’s all my also always my second thought yeah and it is scary um and the only thing you can do I mean it is such a and and they’re only four and and not even a
Year like I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like when they’re like when they go to college and when they like you have to like let that go like now they’re men in the world and it’s like it’s it’s definitely scary um God it’s like
But I what can you what can you do it’s just you just love them and hope for the best yeah I just feel like we’re going to like I don’t know man I don’t know how many more years like until like really hits the fan I asked my other guesses but I
Just feel like I know I feel like we got five more years so it’s like a real problem well at some point somebody is going to be the guy who hits the button and they’re just like all right dude half the world’s dead like yeah they can do that you know and if
They can’t now they will to they can tomorrow like that technolog is coming you know yeah well it’s it’s shutting off power and [ __ ] exactly right yeah that that does exist like that whole thing about how like they want to put kill switches in the cars have you heard
About that yeah like that at first I’m like this is how my mind goes when I hear something like that I’m like ah dude that’s a good idea they’re gonna stop Crooks and the world’s going to be great and then I’m like oh wait a minute
Hold up dude yeah wait a second like immediately I’m like oh wait hold on dude what if somebody like is defaulting on their payment for their car then they’ll stop their car and they go pick up the car and I I guess that’s bad because in essence they’re stealing from
It but then I’m like yeah keep taking it further yeah exactly what if they lock us down of Co again you’re not going to be able to get in your car you’re not going to be able to get in your car they’re G whoever the president gonna be
Like sorry dude this new strain came out you can’t go anywhere boom and your car is you can’t get in your then everyone is get getting shot everyone’s that’s Mayhem yeah it’s [ __ ] that’s no good so yeah I just wonder where it all goes dude and then where does it end end and
Then because the pendulum will swing but I don’t know if it’ll swing fully to 100% of the world because there’s the internet now yeah you don’t just have the media saying this is how it is you have some lunatic in his basement that kind of knows some sometimes that is
Kind of real about some and has been Smart in a way or two over the years and guess what he knows all the other lunatics in the basement and they’re all connected yeah and when they’re all right on some people are going to be like oh they were right about this and
Then boom they’re going to have a conglomeration and right about that yeah yeah everything’s split it’s soed up you used to just I I used to try a joke about this on stage but those people used to be the people that were screaming on the side of the street
Those people used to be the people that you just don’t invite to Thanksgiving dinner everyone has one of those in their family but now they all found each other they have their own Thanksgiving they’re all on Twitter and [ __ ] exactly they’re on Twitter they’re all on Reddit
They’re all on wherever and it’s just like yeah that’s the thing that I worry about though is like the the the speed kind of how things over the last I would say 10 years have just gotten crazier it’s largely related to the internet oh yeah and and the thing is is that some
Conspiracy theories are actually true yeah like that’s the thing you can’t just be like it’s like dude you’re going to tell me one guy shot JFK from all the way out no we all know that didn’t happen yeah you know what I’m saying so then if you’re somebody who doesn’t
Believe in conspiracy theories and then you see that you’re like okay well what else are they lying about and it’s like dude I’m not I am not the dude that’s out there like I hate it I mean I know everyone’s lying to us but they’ve been
Lying to us for a long time it’s just now it’s like the internet has exacerbated and like made it like in everyone’s face and like even right now this whole Epstein thing is like this shit’s crazy bro it’s so Bonkers first of all I thought that that was never
Going to be released and I guess it did the other day right they released a buchu they they they’ve been releasing bits of It kind of like because I don’t know if they they’re afraid how crazy people are gonna go but maybe but it was like I guess Bill Clinton was there x
Amount of like 30 sometimes and they released that and now they’re like slowly releasing more and people are like they’re like putting you know um like a injunct into the case and be like whoa give it some more time because like people are afraid now of like how the
Reaction might be if they find out their name it’s just a weird thing it’s weird because like dude not everyone knew what was going on there was bad like of course Jeffrey Epstein knew right and of course there were other guys that were in on it but
Bro if some dude is like yo I know this guy he wants to take us on a jet yeah and go to this island that he owns and there’s chicks there and you just say want to go Leonardo DiCaprio Leonard caprio’s 23 years old he goes yeah he
Doesn’t know yeah so that doesn’t mean necessarily that he’s out there you know what I mean right right right doing all this horrendous not to say it didn’t happen but it’s like that’s where it gets messy EX I saw people online that were like so disappointed in Bruce
Willis that he was there and it’s like okay but so disappointed leardo Di Caprio guess I can’t support him you don’t know what was going on that’s like saying everybody at the house party is doing the drugs like they’re not all doing the drugs yeah I never did the
Drugs I hated it when I was at the house parties yeah I was exactly yeah that’s that’s the thing but I guess I guess they do have the transcripts of like people like these you know guess children at the time that were being groomed ever are saying things about
Specific people though well that’s obviously you need to look into that yeah um but yeah it’s crazy I don’t know but ALS you know who knows I don’t know I I wasn’t there I just remember when they were like yeah this guy killed himself in jail we’re all like come on
Well there’s another one it’s like come on guys it I guess he could have and also also I I go back and forth on that because that’s so coincidental but also if you think about it man I feel like he would want to do you know what I’m
Saying yeah they getting caught up in all that kind of stuff I mean just like there was that one Nasser the guy who did the the gymnastics think he actually killed himself did he yeah I didn’t know that yeah yeah same kind of [ __ ] like because it’s like you’re the like the
Highest level of a scumbag right although that’s crazy man I can’t believe that like and then they got the Gan or whatever what’s her name yeah gasoline whatever gasoline gasoline she didn’t do it I ke I thought she would but like I I just keep thinking they’re gonna take these mother
Out like they they got to know yeah bro it’s crazy that Epstein had those paintings of dude could you imagine if you invited me to this podcast and there was just a a painting of me just like like holding my little dick or whatever it is and you were just
Like hey you say something I’m too powerful for you to even let’s do the podcast and you’re going to be sitting here with a pain with your little dick on there like and I was just like okay yeah like he must have something on him you know bro that’s the thing is like
This guy just had stuff on everyone of that’s what there that’s the whole conspiracy I mean conspiracy goes crazy it goes deep some there’s some sort of Truth in there you know there has to be otherwise this wouldn’t be a reality but it’s just it’s weird man I mean I just
Wonder what what’s what’s happening next like where do you think this is going bro I I I I don’t even cuz like the election’s coming up all this stuff is I feel like that’s gonna be Mayhem it’s gonna be so crazy that it’s Biden versus
Trump it’s going to be so crazy if that happens which I think it is it’s stacking up too yeah it’s just it’s just so because I it it so Bonkers that I’m just like man I just don’t vote I don’t know what’s going on I don’t know anything
Like yeah I know they’re lying to us bro they’ve been lying to us yeah all all everyone you’re saying this election was rigged they’re all rigged yeah they’ve all been some sort of rigged I think forever yeah dude because it’s not it’s funny because and it’s also interesting
To me how people go uh whether it’s Biden or Trump is the bad guy but it’s like dude they’re just the it’s a whole conglomerate of people making these these decisions and like they’re they’re pressing whatever they want forward and so I always wonder does it actually make
A difference who’s in office I always wonder that too yeah I mean I think it’s it does matter if it’s a liberal or a conservative because they have a lot of different ideas the versus the two camps but like I mean Trump certainly sh up like he makes things different a little bit
But um like I don’t like that like Co would have been way different if he stayed in office I feel like right yeah yeah yeah um but I don’t know I mean dude I’m also the last guy to know about anything political like but I just like
I it’s hard to it’s it feels like it’s so so hard to make any sort of difference for anybody that like that they’re just going to do what they want and like people are mad that the government is lying to us like I don’t necessarily think that’s bad like keep
Some things from me I don’t want to know I don’t want to know I don’t want to know everything it’ll just make me really sad yeah you know like what about the alien thing there was like a weird clip of someone being who was saying that like oh it’s like super deep the
Whole alien thing is like super deep I seen a clip and I was like what the oh dude my whole thing is why do the aliens always kind of look like this saying like dude either well no okay I go it’s like I I definitely believe that there
Are other it’s not just us bro it’ be crazy it’s ins the likelihood is crazy right but then when people start to get like Bigfoot or like loch nest monster I’m like dude just or no my favorite is when people believe in ghosts dude just ju dude I’ve been live 40 three
Years hey dude I’m willing hey ghost show up like I I will believe I will believe it yeah zero the only person that’s ever like sworn to me yo I’ve seen a ghost is Bobby Lee and I don’t believe him you know what I mean so like so like people
Are going to tell me like oh yeah they like ghosts are real like dude I’m friends with the dude Aaron from a ghost uh Adventures or whatever the and he’s like oh yeah I totally believe in it I’m like bro so you don’t believe in ghost at all
No be zero zero and I will I will like you’re willing to 100% possess me dude I go to bed I’ve been to bed before I go like yo it’s dark possess me yeah let’s see I don’t give a show me something also like there’s definitely nice ones
Out there like I’m not scared like let’s do it maybe there’s scary entities but like let’s I’m all good like show up yeah hang out bro I feel that I feel that and and and I’m not saying it’s impossible like yo bro I don’t know everything maybe there’s an afterlife I
Have no idea yeah so like are you religious I’m not religious no um have you ever been religious I mean no not since I was a kid but like um I I again that’s something that I have no idea about it’s not like it’s not like it’s not like something where I’m
Like you know do you believe in God I I I I guess I haven’t really thought about it honestly like I don’t I mean I have thought about it but I don’t I don’t know you know I can’t how can you say no definitively on the people who are like
Nah no way like how how do you know you don’t know yeah you know there’s a lot of evidence that supports things besides that but also I don’t know it’s also good to have faith but then you’re like every war in history started because of religion so you’re like okay what’s
Going on yeah yeah it’s just it’s all it’s interesting I I I uh not Faith specifically but religion I think I got out of the idea when I was younger of religion because of the way it was organized ized and I didn’t like like you know I I grew up in a Catholic
Church and like you have to kneel and stand and like give money and I was like this is weird like this doesn’t seem like God would want this I don’t want to do anything that a bunch of people are doing like I don’t want to be ever so
Like religion is like to me it was like my my grandfather was like don’t ever volunteer for anything it’s a funny it’s a funny my dad’s dad he’s like you don’t volunteer for anything he’s just like period he’s like period you just don’t do that don’t
It’s so funny BR just like like don’t ever for free basically I guess so yeah no that that is so funny to me that he was like that but but um yeah to me that was like that it’s like religion like anytime any like a fraternity in college
I was like this just no way it’s not me I don’t want to be doing rules like with that you just made up yeah I don’t want to do that I’m cool with the law those are all the rules I need I’m not you’re not going to be like yeah we don’t eat
Meat on the like what yeah yeah no that’s okay we can we can you know bro holy how do you how do you I think I I I spoke to you about this last time but when you create your comedy just pick like current things or do you
Pick things that are just in your life that are most relevant to you they’re kind of now at this point I think I probably do things that are most relevant to me yeah like you know that like a like there’s things that pop into my head and I’ll either like my wife will
Be like oh you should bring that up on the podcast or oh that’s funny like the other day she brought up something I can’t remember what it was she was I said something just in conversation she was like dude you should make that a bit
And I was like ah it’s been done I can’t remember who did it but like somebody did something like that so like stuff like that’ll happen and then like but like you know stories that happened like for instance when I thought I was getting robbed like that
Was bro that was such a good joke thanks dude but that was so unique to me that happened and I don’t watch people’s comedy special I watch zero specials so like I know that’ll be uniquely mine and there’s so much content out there like
There was a thing there was a a bit I put out recently it’s a new bit about uh Avengers and the woke Avengers I don’t know if I did that on the show you were there I don’t I don’t think I did but anyway it was talking about how the
Avengers they’re all going to be woke one day and I put it out on on on my socials because I’m like dude somebody’s think of this yeah like I’m not going to wait a year and a half to film this in a special somebody else would have done a
Version of it you know what I’m saying so like that’s it’s a different time now like whereas that [ __ ] might be on somebody’s podcast in a week and may’ be like oh it probably is somewhere you know so it’s like so it’s like you got to you got to
Just kind of like be the first one to get that out there like I’m not a topical comedian but when a bits like that I was like I said it to my my tour manager I was like dude I feel like I should just put that online somebody’s
Gonna put that in a special somebody’s going to do some version of it and he’s like yeah you should it’s like all right dud do do you think it makes a difference though if you get ahead on that or not cuz like people just rip anyways well you mean like steel yeah I
Mean that’s yeah they do I guess but like I don’t know like there was like here here’s an example um really good comedian Nikki Parish he did a bit that he’s been doing a bit for years and then Dave Chappelle did a a a a similar kind of thing on his
Um uh on his spe new special I don’t think he saw him do it I just think it’s what they thought of yeah individually what was the bit specifically going to a strip club with a bunch of guys okay so yeah yeah it wasn’t exactly right like so so um and
It was it was it was like a few seconds where they said a similar thing it wasn’t even like a whole bit you know yeah and Nikki was cool about it he was like oh wow this is wild like one of the be you know one of the best comedians
And he did a similar thing like I’m not saying anything bad about it but it’s like people just have to realize that that kind of stuff’s going to happen you know yeah like I’ve had guys I’ve had guys say you are like even put me on put online
Like you did this bit I did it in 1998 I used to do it at the comedy seller and it’s like okay well I was 18 I never saw you do it you never did it on TV also straight up who are you I’ve never I’ve never even heard of you dude like
Straight up it’s happened where I’m like who’s this guy F and and and and my [ __ ] was a throwaway line and that was his whole bit and you know I don’t want to say who it is cuz I don’t give I don’t want to start you but it’s like I I if
That’s your whole bit my throwaway line keep writing bro yeah I get it you know what I mean like it’s it’s it’s like you can’t assume that like just no one’s has any similar thoughts it’s crazy dude it’s crazy and I get it like if you’re not successful that’s you’re
Hanging on to your bits yeah and but it’s like dude you got to kill you got to kill your baby you have to kill your babies you have to you have to otherwise you’re not going to ever get better dude yeah do do you think do you think to be
Successful as a comedian now you need a podcast I don’t think well to if you’re gonna start now yeah like if I was like y I’m gonna start being a [ __ ] maybe maybe now yeah but I do think like I don’t know like I look at it it
It’s just like a relevance thing kind of yeah you know like Matt re doesn’t have a podcast yeah I don’t think he needs one so I guess there are ways to do it but it’s got it that’s a lightning botle thing yeah yeah I mean but he’s really leveraged social
Media in a different way totally yeah but he wasn’t until one day he just was like you know I’m gonna put stuff on Tik Tok it wasn’t like it was like dude I I I’ve known him he he’s like didn’t want to do that yeah he’s like I want to be a
Real comedian you know I see which is so interesting it’s silly because what’s a real comedian you just you are a real comedian you go on St stage you do jokes you do well yeah who cares if you’re on Tik Tok you got to be on Tik Tok it’s
Funny he he’s probably said that too in real life in person and if that’s true it’s interesting because like he’d get hate on the internet where it’d be like he’s just this not a real comedian guy when it’s like it sounds like he was resistant to doing it he was the first
Place he was yeah that’s it’s just people just spin everything man they spin everything dude they spin everything but that’s why like you said earlier you just got to be like is just is what it is I mean you you know it you have to B B
Your selfworth on who you know you are and who the people that love you feel like you are and that’s it that’s it people who don’t know you don’t know you yeah but why do you think it’s hard sometimes because that’s hard I’ve had moments where I’m like as much as I like
Know that I’m like I [ __ ] fumble well dude it’s the hardest it’s it’s probably one of the hardest things to do in at least my life but because because for me I seek validation from strangers I mean it’s it’s it’s my whole job dude so like
Um and I talk about this on my special even uh the one on out now on my website it’s like you know part of being a comedian for me was getting validation from people uh laughing and you know uh liking me you know because I I I did not
And you know sometimes do not have a healthy uh image of myself you know for yourself for myself yeah like you know everyone I I think that I think that people are quick to look at somebody who’s quote unquote on top or killing it or doing
Well and and see what they post on Instagram oh he’s having he’s doing great he’s having success that mother but it’s like dude that that person’s a person yeah dude I’m not I’m putting this stuff on Instagram that’s glossy that’s good that’s fun why the would I
Put my I don’t want I’m not one of those people that’s going to cry you know on uh because of a a thing in my bedroom because something happened and then I you know and then take a picture of yourself like I’m sad yeah you know and it’s
Like it’s it’s the hard it’s the hardest thing though but but once you know I heard a guy say this once I can’t remember who it was I wish I did because I should shout him out I follow him on Instagram he’s he’s awesome but he was like he was like
Um uh talking to somebody he’s like a self-help person Julian Julian his name is Julian himself I think is on Instagram but he was like said something to the front row he’s like he was like he was like speaking he’s speaking yeah he’s a self-help guy he’s not American
He’s something else but he was like hey um do you care if I say that you’re I can’t remember how it started but it was something like do you care if someone says you’re stupid or or or or fat or something like that the guy was like I
Guess I don’t know yeah and he was like I hate your blue hair and the guy was like what he was like I hate your blue hair and he was like what he said I hate your blue hair what do you what do you think about that he was like I don’t
Have blue hair and he was like so then why do you hate when someone says you’re stupid if you if if you know you’re not ah and I was like wow that’s crazy CRA powerful you know yeah and I understand that stupid is a little bit more of a
Vague word blue hair but but I’m like oh wait if if people are just thinking you’re way you’re not they’re wrong they’re they’re wrong there is right and wrong it’s not like that doesn’t exist people are wrong all the time A lot of people are wrong all the
Time yeah and just because somebody thinks something about you doesn’t mean that you’re that and that has nothing to do with you it has a lot to do with with them yeah you know like the people who are who have been on in their lives if they get a whiff of oh
This person’s somebody that would like he’s like somebody that would on me that person I’m GNA tear them down that’s where all this comes from you know yeah I see if if I get if if I’m if I go to a grocery store and every every time I
Realize that the Bill’s a little bit higher and and I realize that they’re ripping me off one day I realized they’re ripping me off and they ripped me off from [ __ ] hundreds of dollars and then I think them and then I go back to grocery store they’re never there
Again and I’m like oh where did that person go I have no idea they’re not a famous person whatever I have no idea who they are where they are they stole money from me and then I hear about from some random person hey this guy I was at
A grocery store and I was like Ste they soole hundreds of dollars from me you go like this where is that mother and this is a random person telling you this this is a random person you don’t know telling you this this person could be a lunatic you don’t know this person but
You go I’m going to kill that mother for you it’s all because of your own it just reignites everything but you’re not mad at this other person that you don’t even know exists you’re mad at the person that ripped you off yeah do you know what I’m saying absolutely it’s like all
Those movies dude it’s like all those movies with Liam niss and Denzel Washington they’re killing the wrong mother but it’s it’s it’s interesting because it’s always it’s always like some sort of reflection of yourself though because you’re always your your inability to accept that you aren’t what
Someone says you are it’s tough though because the internet it gets sticky because people run with narratives and then they and then you’re like well what the that’s not me and now I just have to accept that that person said that I’m this and it’s like wait a sec and then
All these other people are all saying it now it’s like these mother even know me never met me and that’s the part I think because I’ve experienced this in so many ways in the stupid Fitness industry and I’m just like which is why like to be honest I started making content somewhat
Away from it and I really kind of like distanced myself which recently I’ve kind of gone back into it I’m like okay I really enjoy this again but I distan myself from it because it’s just such a place where it was just everyone was you know it’s ego driven because it how it
Seems toxic yeah well I don’t like that word but you know what I mean like stand up same thing it’s just like a place where it’s like oh that person does this they copy or that per it’s just like a a sh space but anyways the point is like
It’s tough because it is just about realizing okay like that’s not me I’m just going to continue and I think regardless over time people see that and they go oh this person is this anyways like not what that person said but the problem with the internet space is that
You can people can create real damage to people’s reputation that like is unfixable right you know because there’s still going to be some idiot who never met you who listen to some other dumb mother who never met you and they go oh that’s true and they go then they see
You again they go oh yeah but you hear about this thing that he did it’s like and and then and then it’s it’s almost imp like it’s it’s almost impossible to change people’s minds like just period yeah you know people are like walking around and they’re 50 they already have
Their minds made up yeah you’re not gonna I’ve been living 50 years thinking this you’re not going to change my mind right so like not me I’m 43 but like uh but like um you know it’s like I don’t know how many times like sometimes if something happens funny with my kid
One of my kids I might post it online and then somebody will be like nice bro trying to Rebrand yourself we don’t believe it you don’t believe what I’m a loving father yeah like I don’t like at some point I I just like okay that’s you
Bro that’s you yeah like I I I don’t know what to say to those kinds of things and and and yeah it’s sometimes you you catch on a a bad day and you’re like this mother you know I don’t do that as much
As I used to do that all the time I used to write back but like I just I don’t even see it anymore I I don’t even dude I post and I I don’t even look anymore yeah I I it’s just not it’s not it’s not healthy you know talk go ahead say
Anything negative you got to say say it and to avoid I’m not seeing it yeah that’s how you got that’s tough to get to though it’s very hard and and I’m not always there but but I’m there way more dude way more what has helped you with
That just because you just get numb to the you do you get numb to it and then you realize actually you know what helped with it a lot is when I went to I went to I went away for like a over 30 days I was in this uh like trauma based rehab
Center and I didn’t have my phone and um that helped because I just kind of forgot about everything you’re like oh I could be separate from this yeah it helped for sure damn I mean there are days where I for for days I forget oh [ __ ] I haven’t checked Tik Tok like
Which is I can’t imagine myself think thinking that five years ago but you’d be on yeah not not Tik Tok but whatever it is you know whatever platform yeah yeah yeah is is it just because you felt like you like you you had to get more
You had to do more or yeah and I felt like and I felt like I was in control of it I was in control of what what my narrative is what I put out there and you’re kind of not you know and and like I said that’s all bull what matters is
The people in your in your lives that that know who you are yeah you know um and it’s too hard to change people’s minds so I’m just going to live how I live and be be you know try to be a better version of myself as I age and
You know well you’re you’re dope man you’re you’re a good guy every every conversations I’ve had with you on off camera you’re a solid guy thanks man um to to your point about the validation because I was when I watched a special on your site I was really interested in
The because it was the way you ended it we were kind of talking about that um the validation thing did that start at like a specific age in your life where you recognize it looking back now well yeah I didn’t realize it was happening honestly like I didn’t realize
That I I needed validation from people um as much as I did you know I know I knew like I’d like to make people laugh yeah but I just thought that that felt good and oh that that’s good they’re they’re laughing you know or or whatever
It is and I I thought that um you know I mean I I did it in a number of ways I I would have sex with so many women because I thought oh this means I’m cool and they like me you know that’s like the ultimate way that I
Thought that they would like me and it’s like I didn’t I thought I was just being a dude you know but if I did deeper and this is something that rehab helped me with it’s like this is all ego like this is all I don’t feel good enough about myself and
It’s fine a lot of people are like that and like I don’t want to beat myself up about that but I never wanted to confront confront that I I hated all that I hated all that talk all that self-help realization I thought that [ __ ] was corny and sometimes it is and a
Lot of times it is like there’s corny versions of it online all the time but yeah but um it’s actually something and when I went to rehab for the first time I just remember how scared I was and me thinking living as a cool guy thinking oh I’m going to be the man
That’s what got me here and now I’m terrified that I’m here and it made me feel like when I first walked into kindergarten but what were you terrified of in in rehab yeah the loss of control like I I I I I thought I knew the right
Way to live and I guess I don’t I don’t know you know and you know it’s really hard to surrender in that way and it’s but and and it’s hard it’s hard as it moves you know people people want you to immediately you know you you make a
Mistake or you make mistakes and then it’s like okay wait let’s actually learn about this let’s see what’s going on and um how do I become somebody that’s not selfish how do I become somebody that’s not you know and and they they’re not interested in that they just want they
Just want to be like they want they want they want I I F this is kind of conspiracy theory is but I fully believe that the people that want the people that are out there canceling people I fully believe that they want they want you to kill yourself I I fully believe
That that they want they’re not going to be happy until you kill yourself it’s like yeah where else are you supposed to go yeah I mean I don’t I think I think that if Matt re did that I think that people those people would be deeply happy and that’s that’s really yeah and
I think that they would be the same people online that would be like I’m so sorry that he did this so sad it’s you know we need to open up a dialogue and I but I don’t think that that’s how they believe I think that they because I’ve
Been in that and I I I know how people get treated in that and it’s unbelievable dude yeah the amount of death threats the amount of like it’s crazy bro so you know you said I think you said something funny I don’t know where it was at but you were talking
When you in your rehab they they sent you like a like a hot nurse yeah oh did I say that yeah I must have said it somewhere yeah yeah they did they did you like what the uh it was crazy it was like a test I’m like get out of here
Like the odds of this a lot of them were old ladies and then one of them was just like dude and it like the fifth or sixth day where I was like I think I’m comfortable enough I’m like guys what the right and they were like yeah dude it’s like it
Was so funny dude you know I’m in here for I know but yeah there was one or two even I think I can’t I can’t at this point I can’t remember over a year ago but yeah so what’s the best thing you got out of that uh probably
The probably the the guy the guys in there like the Brotherhood of that like the that they’re all kind of going through different versions of whatever you’re going through yeah some of it horrific and some of it not that bad and you learn about all their upbringing and just it’s just a lot
And that that was also that was something that I really uh got out of that that was beneficial and another thing that was very beneficial was that trauma in your life is how you experience it not necessarily what happens to you which is crazy to me I I
Never I never I always thought trauma was like what happens but it’s not it’s how you experience it and everyone has a different brain you know people can be drama traumatized for way different people could be traumatized for stuff that doesn’t sound that bad people could be not traumatized from stuff you’re
Like that didn’t traumatize you yeah and people are different it’s how you experience the trauma that makes you feel that gives you the the trauma so it’s it’s it’s like that’s something that really because there’s stuff that happened in my life that I would I was talk about like man my childhood was
Awesome and it was and my parents did the best they could and it and just because something happened to me doesn’t mean that either my parents or whoever brought me up or whoever I was in the care of at that time that they’re a bad person or that they that they um you
Know it’s their fault yeah it’s just who they were and what happened and you know I’m not saying that there aren’t bad people out there that do [ __ ] but but you know it’s like it’s that really was wild to me cuz after a month of that therapy every day
They were just like uh yo this stuff that happened to you like wasn’t okay and I was like yeah it’s fine you know and they were like no it it’s really not and and and and and it’s like it took me a while of like like man it really actually kind of
That’s actually not okay that that stuff happened and are you comfortable sharing what I kind of I I’ll touch on it a little bit but it was like it was like stuff that happened happened with uh when I was you know younger with like uh older babysitters that were like it was
Like look it’s not and this is me being defensive it’s not the worst you can imagine but if like the roles were reversed and like it was a guy to a a girl or or like it would have been really odd and just terrible so so like
Um yeah that kind of stuff you know and it’s like I guess that isn’t okay and I always thought like ah but I’m a guy you know like you know just weird so I don’t know so like that stuff that happens Um you know maybe it wasn’t traumatic to me but I still kind of got to learn about it and what it was it’s weird though because like we do things I think people do things that when things are actually really traumatic and they they like even the justification that it’s
Not that traumatic is like like a somewhat of a blockage of it like like when I you know you made me think about my my dad passing I remember um for the longest time I was like this is this is about me and like this is you know maybe I’m not good
Enough and I had this idea in my mind that I’m not good enough and like not that he killed himself cuz I wasn’t good enough but like there was a part of me that kind of believed like well am I not good enough for him to stay around and
So like you said earlier about understanding where someone’s at in their life that was the biggest thing that you know it took me until I was like I don’t know 31 and just happened when I was six to be like oh I get it now because now I lived my life for so
Long and I understand all these things that happened that people are just fed up with this or fed up with that and like he went through all these different things and I can’t judge and we talked about the person’s brain everyone takes everything so differently so I was just
Kind of like it took me so long to be like he just had all this other his life and that was why he made the choice not because of me but it took me 30 years to figure out well it’s you can’t comprehend that as a 6 to 20y old or
Whatever it is you know what I mean you you can’t comprehend it you’re you’re six and like I don’t but then what’s interesting is like what you’re kind of doing right now is like but you kind of block it you can kind of block it like because
There’s a part I remember part of me like blocking it and then I think around the time I was like cuz it felt like almost like six years to like 12 years old I don’t remember anything until I was like 12 and then like then I started
To think about it a lot when I was like 18 in the gym training and it kind of it pushed me really hard wow but like there was that whole batch of like six to 12 that I was like I don’t remember what I was thinking or feeling and I think it’s
Me being like avoidant of totally thinking about the whole thing and then as a an 18 20-year-old when you’re in the gym and you’re like I’m using this as energy as fuel that I don’t want to get all into it I don’t want to think about it so so you got another however
Many years of blocking it out in that are in the gym I was like I could avoid it now and just think of this exactly and it did help me a lot in my life obviously where I’m at now but like I didn’t know that any of this was going
To be then I was just like oh I’m just avoiding a problem again right and then now and then so then another 10 12 years later then I was like oh now I’m finally okay with it so I’m just saying it just say to people listening like the process
Of the trauma like you mentioned about it being interesting really like when you said that cuz like it’s not it happens and you’re like oh that’s it it’s how you perceive it and the problem is your perception is so changing like not when it happens but you always have
To I realize you have to look back like from a you know from an older age to really have it make any sort of sense and it just like especially it happens when you’re a kid you you can’t you’re not equipped to be like oh this is why
And this is how it is and not a lot of people I don’t think recognize the fact that that stuff is you know in a point in time whatever life wherever you’re at that like you can’t always just discern exactly how it should have been or what
It should be and I think people get caught up and then like I said they they you push things away and you never process them yeah and then a lot of people honestly that do that become super successful avoiding that [ __ ] in you know monetarily and like with in in
Their career because they’re just like you know yeah it’s like I don’t know if I would have I remember feeling so insecure at such a very young age if I didn’t feel that way and didn’t always feel like people were like was scared of everything get valid I don’t think I
Would have been successful as a comedian I I I I used that to escape from that stuff you know yeah so in a way it’s like it’s you know people romanticize it as like yeah use it as fuel and become but it’s a balance you know yeah cuz
Like I also didn’t know that I was using it as fuel until I was like oh wait I have the this is and people think I’m cool right like I I wasn’t like I’m doing this to use it as fuel so people think I’m cool I did it cuz I was like
I’m depressed and I’m sad about my life and avoid it and honestly weird but honestly the stuff that you do like CU I work out you know and I I I love it I love it but like and I and I also do standup and like the two things that
Those that they have in common for me is when I’m doing them I’m not thinking of anything else exactly like I’m I’m not in my head I am just I’m kind of free in a way which sounds corny but I’m not online I’m not on my phone I’m just
Kind of I’m either on stage trying to make people laugh having fun or I’m at the gym and one of the reasons why I’m not thinking of anything is because I’m so exhausted like I’m I’m I’m really going hard and I’m like I gotta gota get
My breath and it’s like you can’t be thinking of things besides the immediate of what’s Happening you know yeah am I gonna get this weight up you know me so and obviously I’m not out like you are but like I push myself to the point of where I’m not thinking of anything yeah
It’s all relative yeah yeah of course right yeah but yeah it’s it’s weird man it’s weird how things go just life are you do you when you’re very open about like your father and stuff I know that you we talked about even last time I was
On the podcast but like how are you with like that’s got to be wild to like what’s it like when you see a movie and a character does that like takes their life like is that it used to affect me a lot more in a way where you wouldn’t
Want to see it or what no in a way that I’d watch it I wouldn’t try to avoid it but it would I would it would make me think of it like you know a movie of someone hanging themselves someone being hung I do immediately think of that of course you
Would I’m like God that’s like the first thought every time of course yeah um or like you know I mean you watch certain movies like where the Father Figure would pass like The Lion King like that would me up when I was a kid remember that um which is one of my favorite
Disney movies by the way but yeah it it definitely it definitely would make me think about it like instantly and even to this day I saw some stupid some War some war movie and I was they hung some guy and I was like but it doesn’t it
Doesn’t make me sad the way that it used to make me sad got it got it when I was younger for sure it’s definitely like my my relationship to it has changed for sure yeah I always wonder about that actually like in movies and TV and stuff because cuz stuff like sometimes I’ll
See stuff on like you’ll see when you become a father or whatever if that’s in your future I don’t know but like when you when I can’t even watch movies with like where stuff happens to kids anymore like where kids bro also so many movies kids are like they they get like killed
I I I didn’t know that until I had kids I’m like man I didn’t never realize this every movie you’re like oh dude I got to turn this off yeah I feel that way about dogs I guess cuz I have dogs I don’t have kids yet but I’m sure if I had a
Kid I’d be like yo I can’t watch it bro I just every movie I I can’t even D we were watching a whole Kristen and I my wife we’re watching a whole thing on you know that series doct Death that’s on now it’s got it was I forget it’s on the second
Season it’s a new doctor and do thing it’s a it’s a it’s really good actually it’s on peacock and um we was say seven episodes and then the doctor is like trying to do a it’s about the surgeon that ends up every surgery does the person dies they’re like it’s like a
Kid comes in they’re like Kristen goes like this I’m going to bed I can’t do this and I’m like we’re seven episodes deep we got to finish now I just got to Google what happens I yeah I don’t I don’t I I understand that though I wouldn’t want to see it’s like I’d
Rather see like an adult get hurt yeah I’ll see get shot in all on Twitter all day long like dude honestly on Twitter I’m like gotta stop watching this because it’s popping up too much the algorithms are insane nowadays how fast they crazy they know when you’re on
Something for one second longer than you normally are bro it’s I it really I’ll watch something I’ll be like oh got click out of that I got and then sure enough the next day there it is again they know dude they know everything and remember back I was talking to someone
About this remember back when like they would say like yo your phone listens to you and people be like shut up they do they do but now like now everyone literally knows they do I swear to God when I your phone knows everything you’re doing I get out of here I’m going
To go I’m going to it’s going to be like suicide prevention I’m like dude they knew I was talking about this yeah um yeah it it it’s of course they do it’s crazy it is crazy it’s wild because it’s all a money machine it’s all like how we
Market and advertise to because they know all the information about you who bought the phone how old you are like where you live well that’s the thing about how Google they said Google was really strong and Google was like figuring out what you were doing when Google first started but once Google
