Speaker 1: Hello and good morning everybody.
Speaker 2: Hey is it go? Man?
Speaker 1: Doing very well? How about you, sir?
Speaker 2: Doing good? I'll rion right about that.
Speaker 1: Oh man. Once that microphone opens up, it's like showtime.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, bro, how are we doing?
Speaker 1: Doing very well? I hope you are?
Speaker 2: Yeah, doing great?
Speaker 1: Actually, man, I love the way that you've created this
new path of just bringing things forward that's on our minds.
We laugh about it, we learn from it, and then
we go to the next page. And I just love
the way that you're tapping into this energy level that
we've got right now.
Speaker 2: I love that, man. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I've been reading the book myself after writing it,
and I'm loving it.
Speaker 1: Is it kind of hard to do that because there
are times because I've got seven books, and so for
me to step back in there, it's not out of
who I got to go you be proud of myself. No,
I want to see if I feel the same experience
all these years later exactly.
Speaker 2: That's how it is. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think I wrote the book, I'd say wrapping that
up in like August of last year or something like that,
whenever that was, and then I started writing it then
and that's what it was.
Speaker 2: And then I read it back and I said, this
is this is awesome.
Speaker 1: So when did you get the idea to do the book,
because I mean you you are this social media you know,
Crown King right now and it's like it's like now
to take you to to the to a book is like, okay,
here we go next level.
Speaker 2: I was hesitant at first.
Speaker 3: I didn't know you know, everyone that I talked to
you it was like, oh, book, like what And you know,
then we thought about it and we've started, you know,
brainstorming ideas and I said, okay, this makes sense, especially
with the skit, the math class and the teacher and
all that stuff.
Speaker 1: So so now that teacher, do you know a teacher
like that? Because I'm a broadcaststructor, but I've I've got
students that are checked out and you can't even get
them to check in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd always have your cool teacher.
Speaker 3: He was based off like the cool teacher, but at
the same time he's a little more deranged, so.
Speaker 2: Not not necessarily just the cool guy.
Speaker 1: Have you always been the writer? And the reason why
I bring that up is because when you do research
and where podcasting came from. It didn't come from the comedians,
the magicians. It came from the writers who were trying
to get their voices out there. And so to see
that you've got this book now, I'm going were you
the writer first and then you did the videos? You
just didn't identify as the writer.
Speaker 3: Exactly, No, You're you nailed it on the head where
it's for me, it was always acting and writing. But
you know, writing plays such a strong role in like
all of the stuff I do, every video is written,
shot lists and all that stuff, and I just I'm
a writer first before anything.
Speaker 1: So do you shoot it like an indy film? Just
get in there, get it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And if a shot takes, you know, thirty minutes to
an hour, like I'll take the time and that's it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I love that. I'm shocked that you're not even in
radio because this is the kind of stuff that would
make radio work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, now, Wendy.
Speaker 1: You know, one of the things that I've learned in
being with so many comedians is that they have to
craft their joke before they do a special or before
they you know, really go out on tour. They've got
to make sure that that that joke has been worked
over and over again. Exactly are you doing the same
thing or is this something where you just going by gutting.
Speaker 3: I go gut instinct right now because I think I
understand what the fans want, and you know we're right now.
Speaker 2: It's been a huge week these past two weeks.
Speaker 3: We're working on some bigger things and I can't wait
to possibly share that. I'm putting that out into the
universe right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you ever bump into mister perfectionist?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, all the time, every every day. I sometimes I'll
take you know, fifteen takes on a on a shot
and I can't get around how I'm saying something or
delivering something.
Speaker 2: And that's that's me all the time.
Speaker 1: That's so funny you say that because there are certain
words I can't say. But dang it anyway, if it
doesn't show up in my vocabulary. Yeah, and then you're
tripping all over the place. You gotta do it again. Okay,
I can do this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you say the same word over and over
again and it starts to sound weirder.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know why that is, but I do that
all the time.
Speaker 1: It's even like spelling, man, because I'll sit there and
say I know how to spell this word, but why
doesn't it look right right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yep, are you going to take this to a live stage?
Because comedy clubs right now are starving for people that
are bringing natural born comedy and storytelling.
Speaker 2: So that's the thing with live.
Speaker 3: I never I always wanted to chase after film and TV,
and right now that's what we're doing right now. And
you know, again, hopefully I can't talk too much about it.
I wish I could, but it's a It would be
the biggest news of my life, and I just I'm
putting it out there.
Speaker 2: But right now live would be.
Speaker 3: Probably something down the line later and I've thought about
it because I know writing first, I just have to
I have to get over the stage and the presence
of just being on there and being able to do
a forty five minute set and stuff like that, or
you know what I.
Speaker 1: Mean, Please do not move. There's more with Jay Daddy
coming up next his first book, School of Scum Presents
Math Class. We're back with Jay Daddy now in creating
the character the math teacher. I mean, is it because
in today's math world, they are doing it so asked
backwards compared to the way I did it. When I
was in school.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god, yeah, no, it's it's uh. I
kind of just thought about I said, what if what
if these kids.
Speaker 3: Just learned with the worst possible you know, questions, and
that was the only way they could learn.
Speaker 2: So then that was the way I looked at it.
Speaker 1: But when when you jump into that though, I mean,
how does it come to you?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: Are you sitting in the car, are you at home?
Is it late?
Speaker 2: Oh my god?
Speaker 3: You want my process? Yeah, I I it's even right now.
I'm in I'm in the car right now talking to
you on the phone. I go in the car. I
don't know what it is about my car. I sit
there all write for you know, hours on end. And
that's when I you know, because I can act everything
out of my car and I can do my you know,
that's my safe space. And then I got some some
sort of you know, there's a guy right across from
me right now, he's probably looking at me like, what
are you doing?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just what I do.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I totally get because when I'm out
on the road and I have to do a tour,
I've got all the microphones and the recording equipment, right
there in the front seat of the pickup and and
it's like, and I know people are looking at me, going,
what the hell is that guy doing?
Speaker 2: Exactly?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean but but comedy is around us
every single day, and you seem to come across as
somebody who understands that, Oh, that's going into one of
my stories right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, definitely. I don't do money. That's the one
thing about me. I stay away from like current events
stuff Like I kind of just like to hit all
demographics in a sense, even if there's kids watching that
that enjoy like the stuff that's not so R rated
and whatnot. I try to, you know, dive into that
And how can I hit every single demographic and make
them laugh?
Speaker 2: And that's kind of it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So then are you? Are you like a musician who says,
you know, I'm not trying to write for a certain genre.
I'm just trying to get my art out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think is that what you're doing too?
Speaker 3: It feels like I just I have this niche in
my head that I love so much and that's just dumb,
stupid comedy. And I feel like so many things have
this like moral and this like meaning now, and I
don't understand why we need that in comedy, and I
just believe it should be Sometimes it could just be
dumb and stupid and you could sit there and.
Speaker 2: Laugh at it.
Speaker 1: Dude. I do a thing called Forest Stories. It's about
this forest I've lived in for thirty two years, and
people are coming to listen to it. I'm going, are
you screwed with your hand? What's going on with you
listening to this? It's a stupid thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But that's I mean, some people's brand and stuff
like that, and that's kind of what I built my
brand around. Is just like it could be the dumbest
stuff and you don't even know what you're watching.
Speaker 1: But see, I love that kind of stuff because I mean,
I'm a daily writer and I put it inside a journal.
Where are you dumping your words?
Speaker 3: Honestly, I wish it would be something cool like that,
Like I have some like crazy journal sitting somewhere, but
it's really just my notes on my phone.
Speaker 2: That's yeah.
Speaker 3: I wish I could say it's like some crazy the
elder scroll car of some sort.
Speaker 1: I haven't even made that job. I mean, I use
my notebook inside the smartphone, but it's like, but to
trust it because I know the cloud is forever, but man,
I just don't have that instinct to trust it.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh you're saying that getting out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, you know, to get out because because
I've got it, if I put it in the journal,
I can at least go home and read the journal
and see what's in that notebook and how I was,
you know, crafting things together. But yet, but if something
happens to that phone and that notebook goes away, oh damn.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think it depends, like I think writing
it too definitely helps, right, Like I'm sure for you,
if you're writing something, it kind of sticks with you,
maybe a little more then I feel like with my stuff,
it's it's very just you know, you get the shot
list and you get the ideas and like you understand
how it looks already in your head, and that's kind
of just how I play it. But on stage, I'm
sure i'd be I'd have to write something out to
really understand it.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, So, Now does do you ever cross the line?
Is there a certain line you're saying, Okay, okay, this
is our borderline. We can go up and touch it.
But we're not going to cry.
Speaker 3: I think I'm pretty and you know, I'll pat myself
on the back of that one. I think I'm pretty
good at just touching it and not doing too much
over it. And again, there's different series and stuff where
you know, kids could watch it because there's not it's
not too r rated.
Speaker 2: And then you have the ones.
Speaker 3: Like the school right that we're talking about with the book,
and that's just you know, that's when I dive into
I can play with all of that.
Speaker 2: So but yeah, no, I think when I first started out, I.
Speaker 3: Tried to be a little edgi er and and people
love it and the fans love it, so I want
to keep doing that and have that series for them.
Speaker 1: Who came up with School of Scum presents Math Class.
Speaker 3: So I told them, I said I had this when
I first did the like the first video, I don't
know what came into you know, I'll title my my
videos and my skits and kind of give them like
a working title. Yeah, and the School of Scum was
like my first like idea of like a series name
and they let me run with it.
Speaker 2: So I was really happy about that.
Speaker 1: Don't you love that experience when you get this idea
and it's like, Okay, now you've got to build it.
And you know, not everybody's going to invest in it.
They're not going to think it's a great idea, but
you let it go because it's really heavy on your
mind exactly.
Speaker 3: And that's why I like shout out to all these
guys that I believe it's yeah, Viva Editions and Simon
and Schuster and all these guys that let me get
away with this. It's like they understood that I wanted
my creative direction on it, and they were just like, let's.
Speaker 2: Keep it that way. You know that thought I thought
when I pitched the jokes, there was a time. So
let me tell you this.
Speaker 3: I write maybe sixty seventy jokes without anyone reviewing them, yep.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh my god, this could go.
Speaker 3: This could immediately be canceled, right like I'm just saying
the book in general, they could cancel the whole project.
And we get on a zoom call and they love
every single question.
Speaker 2: And I was like, this is awesome.
Speaker 3: So I thought it was going to be it's a
hit or miss. Have looked at me like I'm a psycho?
Speaker 1: So is it is? It a one book at a
time kind of thing, or do you have a long
term vision that you're going to be around for a
very long time with the books?
Speaker 2: I mean we we definitely.
Speaker 3: Have an idea for more stuff. But again, if news breaks,
you will understand where I'm at because I just again
two biggest weeks of my life this last week, and
I'm so grateful. I can't wait to talk about it.
And that's kind of where I'm at.
Speaker 1: I don't know, are you a defragger at all somebody,
because defragr is somebody who asks themselves the questions and
then questions the answers, and you seem to be that
kind of a planner to the person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I'm that guy. I'm always just in my
own head, like talking to myself. Yep, if that makes sense, Yeah,
I get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And when people say who are you talking to
the greatest actor in the world, it's it's me.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then say, why are you looking at me? Weird?
Speaker 1: And where can people go to find out more about
you and your journey growing forward?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Man, it's so YouTube Jay Daddy, instagram at it's Jay Daddy,
and TikTok at it's Jay Daddy.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess kind of everywhere. Hey Daddy, so you.
Speaker 1: Got you gotta come back to this show anytime in
the future, Jay Daddy. The door is always going to
be open for you.
Speaker 2: Definitely.
Speaker 3: I'll hit you guys up and I'll let you guys know.
All right, be brilliant today, Okay, all right, man, you
as well
