Have you ever been to 16 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.120 Sue Falls before? I've not been to Sue falls before. It will be 17 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.680 my first time. And where are you from? Where, Like, which 18 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.680 part of the world do you live in. I'm not far. I'm in 19 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.959 Chicago. Okay, So you're used to weather no matter what we have that 20 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.560 time of year, Yeah, I am. Here's the thing that's weird. 21 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.560 This year has been kind of bizarre where we haven't had the same kind of 22 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:32.519 weather we usually have. But we had one year where snowjam was like fifty 23 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.599 two degrees and people are here like, so, what's the scoop with this? 24 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.400 I thought it was supposed to be snowing, So who knows what we'll 25 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.680 have when snowjam gets here. But we're excited to have you come and join 26 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.920 us. Now, let's talk about your style of comedy. How long have 27 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.599 you been doing this, and like, what type of comedy do you do? 28 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:56.159 I've been at it six years, going about to start my seventh year. 29 00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.959 What type of comedy? Oh, I don't know what the options are 30 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.519 to answer that question. Is there somebody that you get compared to where people 31 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.400 go, oh, hey, you're just like so and so, not not 32 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.719 that I've heard yet, So then people will someday be saying that somebody else 33 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.560 is just like so feah, oh you like this lady, that's the goal, 34 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:22.120 I guess. Yeah, yeah, I've been doing it six years. 35 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:23.800 It's been a lot of fun. I started in Washington, d C. 36 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:29.280 I am from Chicago, but I was living in DC for a while and 37 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.080 started comedy there, which is a weird thing to be from Chicago and start 38 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:37.080 comedy somewhere else because it's a big comedy town here. But I've moved back. 39 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.759 I moved back last year and it's been a lot of fun. How 40 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:46.080 long were you in d C? Oh boy, on and off for about 41 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.240 a dozen years, and then you got out on good behavior? I got 42 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.280 it. I got myself out. Yeah, I got myself out. I 43 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.599 I was ready for a change, and so yeah, I came back home 44 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.680 to be closer to family and stuff like that. And of course Chicago's great 45 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.919 time for comedy as well. Absolutely, So do you do like political comedy 46 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.479 or what kind of stuff do you? Are you and known for? You 47 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:16.360 know? That's the funny thing is people you would think that about comedians in 48 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:22.159 DC, but a lot of people who start comedy in DC, A lot 49 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:30.400 of comedians in DC we didn't really touch politics environ materials mostly like outsiders are 50 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:36.479 traveling headliners who come through and do the political jokes as they're NDC. And 51 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.520 I think the reason for that is a lot of us it was just too 52 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:43.719 close and people. When you get started on comedy, you still have your 53 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.919 day jobs, right, Yeah, So a lot of the comedians in DC, 54 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:52.319 their day jobs are in the government or in that political space. So 55 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.039 I think it was when you get when you get into your nightlife, when 56 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.039 you get on stage, it's like you don't want to talk about that stuff, 57 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.800 but certainly and certainly it informs did informs sort of like how you're right. 58 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.360 I remember when I started a lot of my jokes or about just kind 59 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:17.720 of bureaucratic office job joke, cubiclecrat joke and what I called. I'll bet 60 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.480 people there could certainly relate to that for sure. Oh yeah, they loved 61 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:26.439 it. They loved it there. And then when you start traveling and doing 62 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.079 comedy and other cities, you're like, oh, I got to write something 63 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.439 else. Well, we're excited to see you when you get to Sioux Falls 64 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:39.120 Snow Jam Comedy Festival, January eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth and twenty first, 65 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.120 there's a ton of different shows that are going to be happening during those four 66 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.000 days.

Right now with Tom Henderson, we're going 81 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.879 to talk about the Resgen Men's Summit. It's coming up on February third. 82 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.800 Holy cow, it sounds like it's a long ways away, Tom, but 83 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.680 that's going to be here before you know it. Well, listen, what 84 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.240 do they say to say that the days are long and the years are shore 85 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.079 right? And sometimes it just feels like that, But all of a sudden 86 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.160 you look back, How did we arrive here so quickly? Yeah? But 87 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.240 yes, we're gearing up again for what we think is going to be our 88 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:09.519 biggest men's summit of the year. Rush you need ever, I mean, 89 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.839 let's just let's be real, ever, because you know, we had over 90 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.800 eleven hundred men last year and twelve simulcast sites, and this year we'll we'll 91 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.120 easily top the eleven hundred and we're I think we're up to about twenty simulcast 92 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:24.680 sites. So we're very excited about seeing how it's grown. It is so 93 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.720 cool and for folks that have never been to this, I've been to I 94 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.160 think all of them, if not all, just about all of them, 95 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.000 and this is something you definitely want to see it. It's an amazing event 96 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.279 and it is so much fun. And when you walk out of there, 97 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.759 you're going to feel like you got ten million dollars worth of stuff because you've 98 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.560 got so many great speakers each and every year. And I always think, 99 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:46.759 Man, I'd hate to be in your shoes, Tom, how do you 100 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.600 top this next year? And I'm looking at the list right now and you 101 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.560 did it again? Man, Yeah, you know it's it's a question I 102 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.839 get really almost almost within minutes after the event ends, people are like, 103 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:00.519 how are you going to top this next go a sact same question, John, 104 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.480 But you know what, each year stands alone and we just fully believe 105 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.240 that God wants to bring for that year. And this year's theme, John, 106 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:14.040 is all about being a man of courage and it's going to go from 107 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.800 eight am to one third eight And as you mentioned, we've got five dynamic 108 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:23.079 speakers and then a comedian this year. And you know, we've got David 109 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:28.319 Paul at College Football Analyst, was on a college sports analyst from ESPN College 110 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.680 Game Day for twelve years. Ryan Leek, who's an executive coach and author, 111 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:39.279 unbelievable communicator. I'm just telling you he's unbelievable. He's easily worth coming 112 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.600 out the day day for Jeff Strucker, who has actually portrayed the movie Blackhawk 113 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.120 Down, was a black Hawk helicopter pilot, an army ranger. He's going 114 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:53.480 to be sharing Chris Brown, who is an unbelievable communicator and storyteller pastor from 115 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.600 San Diego.

It's always a really fun time. I have met 119 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.040 so many wonderful people there as well. There's some people that I consider good 120 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.680 friends now that I met them sitting at res gen Men Summit and we start 121 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.839 chatting, and they go to a different church and I go too, so 122 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.519 and you know, they work somewhere different than I work, and they live 123 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:24.160 in a different part of town than I live in. But we're all together 124 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.199 in this room and we get the chance to meet people and you you learn 125 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.440 stuff. And then even during the breaks it's positive because you're meeting new people. 126 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.559 So it's just such a fun day. Thank you for putting your heart 127 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.960 into this.

We started it back 158 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:35.840 in April of twenty ten, and first the first several years was all focused 159 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.080 on teenagers and back twenty years of my life was spent investing in teenagers all 160 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:45.320 over the country. But then we just saw what God was doing through specifically 161 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.000 to the Men's Summit, which has then launched into so many other things that 162 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.080 we do year round, specifically for men, for marriages, for parenting, 163 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.559 now in the corporate space. So it's been really fun to just see how 164 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.360 it's more. For the last thirteen years, the mission is state thing, 165 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:05.480 but the different vehicles and the methods have changed as as time has gone by. 166 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.360 But we're really excited about where we're at right now.
