Speaker 2: reach out again. Kelly's Bar is where this will happen
Speaker 2: in Parker, South Dakota. And we had a chance last
Speaker 2: week to visit with Tom Abot, who's kind of pulling
Speaker 2: all this together.
Speaker 1: He is he's a fanny you by.
Speaker 3: The way, Oh really?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could tell, and of Chris and I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: that's awesome. No, it was fun to visit with him,
Speaker 2: and he said that you guys have worked together before,
Speaker 2: so yeah, yes. Now let's talk a little bit about
Speaker 2: how long have you been doing stand up comedy?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Man, I've been doing stand up comedy for going to
Speaker 3: be twenty years this year. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: How did you get started doing this?
Speaker 3: I thought I was funny in high school. I think
Speaker 3: that's how every comedian starts, right, you know. I grew
Speaker 3: up watching a lot of Saturday Night Live and listening
Speaker 3: to the classics, you know Carlin, and I hate to
Speaker 3: say it, Cosby.
Speaker 1: Just don't go drinking with that.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, not at all. And I was just like,
Speaker 3: you know, hey, I think I could do this. And then,
Speaker 3: you know, in the early aughts, comedy was kind of nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there was no stand up comedy, and so you know,
Speaker 3: for all the crap that he gets, I think we
Speaker 3: have to thank him for really booming comedy back into
Speaker 3: this drasphere Dane Cook. Oh yeah, I know, right, it's
Speaker 3: crazy to say.
Speaker 1: I did an interview with Dane Cook. Here's the thing
Speaker 1: that was funny about that.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if I've ever said this on
Speaker 2: the air, but ahead of time, they're like, Okay, you
Speaker 2: can't talk about his wife and you can't talk about
Speaker 2: his brother. And I was like, yeah, what what do
Speaker 2: you mean? But yeah, they'll disconnect the call if you
Speaker 2: bring up his brother or his wife. And I'm like okay,
Speaker 2: And then I'm googling that Dane Cook's brother, Dane Cook's wife.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's going on here? So I think did
Speaker 1: his brother leave with his wife?
Speaker 2: No, his brother stole some money money from him, Yeah,
Speaker 2: and his wife is like twenty two and he's like
Speaker 2: fifty six.
Speaker 1: Right, So I'm like, okay, I was.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have brought that up anyway, but I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: thanks for giving me the info.
Speaker 3: The internet likes to bring it up. I think the
Speaker 3: internet's great with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So anyway, he was wonderful when I talked to him.
Speaker 2: Super nice guy. And here's the thing that's neat. He
Speaker 2: also utilized social media like he did. Anybody else knew
Speaker 2: how to do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my Space. He was all over my Space and
Speaker 3: how he got it.
Speaker 2: So hey, be sure to follow me on MySpace, send
Speaker 2: me a message, and then he would respond to everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it was a great show. And you get three
Speaker 1: hundred messages. He's sitting in his hotel room.
Speaker 2: Then he's just hit and reply, probably copy paste the
Speaker 2: same thing to everybody.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, you know what.
Speaker 2: He connected and and he did a lot for stand
Speaker 2: up comedy.
Speaker 3: He did ago, he did, and you know what. And
Speaker 3: I was one of those influential kids that looked at
Speaker 3: it and went, Okay, cool, I can do it. And
Speaker 3: and honestly started with a lot of mimicry and impersonations.
Speaker 1: A cookie because they're like swifties or Taylor Swift fans.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was a cookie at the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that's what they are, but whatever
Speaker 1: it is. No, that's cool.
Speaker 2: And your style is different than his style though one
Speaker 2: of see yes, and so I would have never said, oh,
Speaker 2: he must have been a big dang cook fans. You
Speaker 2: found your own way, do your own thing, and you're
Speaker 2: a very funny guy. Every time I've seen you, I've
Speaker 2: always thought funny, funny, funny, gay.
