<v Speaker 2>up there?

22
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's all pretty much just dumb stories of

23
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.399
<v Speaker 1>things that I've done because I keep doing stupid things.

24
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 3>That's the sort of thing I don't know if you

25
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 3>got my rule for my openers, but no stupid stories

26
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 3>about things you've done.

27
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>That's all about I have nothing but fart jokes then,

28
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>so I guess we're in for a treat.

29
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 2>That's also no part joke. No do know your family?

30
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, nor no work, no clean stuff.

31
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 1>I have in so much trouble now I am so excited.

32
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>First of all, how long have you been doing stand

33
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>up comedy?

34
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Tom? I started about two ten, so about fourteen years now.

35
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 1>And what was it? What was it? The kind of

36
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.599
<v Speaker 1>Drea to that is? What was it that made you

37
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 1>decide I am going to get on stage and bear

38
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>my soul to these people?

39
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know I was.

40
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 3>I was obsessed with watching comedy as a kid. My

41
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 3>mom made the mistake of letting me have a TV

42
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.519
<v Speaker 3>in my bedroom, and so I would watch Comedy Central all.

43
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 2>The time, and I was like, man, I want to

44
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I want to do this. This seems so fun.

45
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.879
<v Speaker 3>I also assumed that everybody who was on Comedy Central

46
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 3>was like a multi millionaire, And now that I've done that,

47
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:03.280
<v Speaker 3>assure you that is not true. Yeah, but yeah, it's

48
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 3>a club opened up in my hometown when out while

49
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 3>I was in college, and I was like, oh, man.

50
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I was working at a hospital at the time.

51
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, man, I want to go over

52
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 3>there and try out the open mic. And soon enough

53
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.240
<v Speaker 3>I was no longer going to med school and I

54
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 3>was just doing comedy full time. I love that, and

55
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 3>one thing led to another. It is kind of one

56
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 3>of those things where I was like, I'm going to

57
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 3>try this out. It seems like it would be cool

58
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:31.719
<v Speaker 3>if I if I could make it work, and then

59
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:33.319
<v Speaker 3>I just became obsessed with it.

60
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>And as you look at the opportunities you've had come along,

61
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>is there something along the way that you look back

62
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and go I still think this was like my favorite

63
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:41.599
<v Speaker 1>thing I've ever had a chance to do.

64
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, getting booked at Too Fall one.

65
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's take that one off the list. What else

66
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 1>on the list?

67
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>There? No, there were a couple. But I felt really

68
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 2>lucky that I grew up watching Conan O'Brien, and I

69
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 2>got really lucky that I was able to perform in

70
00:02:58.919 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>that show before it ended.

71
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 3>And so I look back at that as something that's

72
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 3>really cool, because I'm like, that doesn't even exist anymore,

73
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 3>and I got to do it while it was still around.

74
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 3>But the big things for me were I grew up

75
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 3>watching those Comedy Central half hour special so when I

76
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 3>got to do one of those myself, I was really

77
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 3>that felt like full circle, like oh, I'm doing what

78
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 3>made me do this, what made me get into this.

79
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 3>It's crazy and to think like, oh, maybe I can

80
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 3>be that for some kid watching this right now, and.

81
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 1>That probably has happened. I bet there's some kids that

82
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>have been watching that and they see you and they go, man,

83
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to do what he's doing. What he does.

84
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I bet that guy's super wealthy because he's on Comedy Central.

85
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

86
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that I've always noticed is like

87
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>when I when the Forbes list of the most wealthy

88
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 1>people on the planet come out, I always look to

89
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 1>see how many of these people are comics, and well, yeah,

90
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't think any of them.

91
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Baby you want Yeah, and you've like never even heard

92
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 3>of where You're like, how is that possible?

93
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I mean that I had never heard of, Like

94
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's usually a guy who has puppet, but

95
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>not just you're like, what is it? I got the wrong?

96
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'll bring a puppet to to ball. That'd be fun.

97
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.919
<v Speaker 2>I've never done any work with that. But I'll wear

98
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.280
<v Speaker 2>a mat. I'll wear one of those face mats that

99
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 2>you can't tell if I'm talking or not.

100
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, twenty twenty would have been the best year to

101
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>break into ventriloquism. Really, it wouldn't matter if your lips

102
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>are moving or not.

103
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>It would be funny because there was a time where

104
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 2>we had to wear a mat on stage. It was

105
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 2>really weird and I was thinking, like, man, going to

106
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 2>see a puppet guy right now? You just after keeping

107
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>like truck me. I'm doing it.

108
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 1>My lips are not moving, I promise. The other thing

109
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 1>you could do is you could bring a ventriloquist dummy

110
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 1>on stage and then just never have the dummy say anything.

111
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Just do your entire set completely straight without even pointing,

112
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>like pointing out the fact that you have a dummy

113
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 1>on your lap.

114
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Right, and just have him make faces like you just

115
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 3>judge it like I really only learned that part of it.

116
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Or you can have him laughing, you know, he's laughing

117
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.399
<v Speaker 1>at all your jokes. No, I'm kind of hoping do that.

118
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Well.

119
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.319
