Where does your material 49 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.000 come from? I mean, how do you write? 50 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:43.240 Writing? 51 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.560 Writing for me is the most difficult part of it. 52 00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.439 I'm I'm definitely more of a stronger performer, so I 53 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:55.599 try to use real life, ridiculous scenarios for my stand up. 54 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.240 So some of my most popular bits are well, definitely 55 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.039 the most popular one is a true story about getting 56 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:04.400 an adult circumcision. 57 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.240 Well, that's really funny. 58 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.319 Yeah, yeah, absolutely so. 59 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.719 I mean for a situation that you know, usually people 60 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.319 would wouldn't even admit to it or talk about it 61 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.719 in public, but since it's so raw. 62 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:24.800 No pun intended, but I mean it was. 63 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.000 It was one of the one of the most hilarious 64 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.719 things I've gone through in my life. So that turned 65 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.479 in when I first started talking about it. The bit 66 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:38.479 was about fifteen minutes long, about about this day that 67 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.599 I got my adult circumcision done. And I think it 68 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.080 makes for the best stand up because the audience knows 69 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:50.439 it's it's real and also not there's no other comics 70 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.560 that would have the same bit because it's such a 71 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:53.719 true story. 72 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.680 Yeah right, you're not going to see Robin Williams ripping 73 00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:58.280 off your material all too soon? 74 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:00.360 No, definitely, not right. 75 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:05.520 Robin is notorious for being heard and being heard in 76 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.919 the back of the club and laughing louder than anybody, 77 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.400 And whenever a comic, here's Robin laughing. There going oh great, 78 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:13.599 he's going to be using that now. 79 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:15.240 Yeah, there it goes well. 80 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.160 He tells so many jokes in one breath that I 81 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.839 think he needs to steal because he's told about sixteen 82 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:22.680 jokes in four seconds. 83 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:23.560 Yeah. 84 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.879 And the best thing about Robin's material is there's no 85 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:31.040 way that anybody is ever able to repeat it at 86 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.439 the water cooler the next day at work. 87 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:34.600 No chance. 88 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.800 Yeah, it goes by so fast.

I don't know, but 90 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.199 I was laughing all night long. 91 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:43.000 Yeah, I guaranteed. 92 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.439 And he goes through the most water I've ever seen 93 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.240 a human being drink in an hour set. It's probably 94 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.240 seven bottles of water. I guess he's throwing most of 95 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.279 it around the stage, But yeah, he's amazing. 96 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:57.040 I actually, when I got started in radio in San 97 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:02.600 Francisco in the seventies. I was working at a radio station, 98 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.720 the FM Rock station in San Francisco. That kind of 99 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.120 started the whole FM rock routine, and we were doing 100 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.199 We had relationship with a lot of comics and clubs, 101 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:18.399 and that's when Robin was getting started. And I was 102 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.439 at like one of the first clubs, the Boarding House 103 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.639 in San Francisco. He performed, which was outrageous. I was 104 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:26.920 at a party one night where he was doing his 105 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.240 stand up to I swear to god, he was doing 106 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.839 it to a lampshade. And I was at a benefit 107 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.800 concert for a friend who passed away that Robin was headlining, 108 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:39.920 and we got to sit in the front row and 109 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.279 I had a cast on my leg and Robin started 110 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.959 doing a bit about white guys playing basketball, and he 111 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.240 looked over at me and said, what's wrong with your leg? 112 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.639 And I said, I spring my ankle playing basketball. And 113 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:56.319 then he took my crutches and did five minutes on 114 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:57.120 my crutches. 115 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.240 Amazing.

So I lucked out 261 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:36.200 and won it in two thousand and seven, So that 262 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:38.919 put me in a position where I could prove I 263 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.399 was the top five percent at that time. 264 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:42.559 So yeah, but. 265 00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:44.440 You haven't been funny since two thousand and seven. 266 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:46.919 No, and the money's long gone too. 267 00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:00.440 How do they judge comedy competition?

And I said 270 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:09.519 Mike Richard, you know, won back in the eighties, and 271 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:10.440 he's still writing that. 272 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.320 Yeah for sure. Yeah, that's a big one. The San 273 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.600 Francisco is a huge competition. That Seattle and Boston are 274 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.519 your three big ones, but San Francisco is the biggest. 275 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:21.919 And well, what they do. 276 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:28.679 Is on the preliminary nights, it's judged by radio DJs 277 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.559 and local stand up bookers and even like right down 278 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.759 to like bar managers and waitresses, so whoever they can 279 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.639 dig up to judge, and they'll judge it by audience response, 280 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:46.679 original material. And then there's time constraints as well, if 281 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:49.240 you have to if you go over your time, you 282 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:49.759 get docked. 283 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:51.519 If you go under your time, you get docked. 284 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:55.799 And that's basically how they do it, just by different criteria. 285 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.279 And then when the when you're in the finals of 286 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.440 the competition, when you like the top five, then they 287 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:06.440 start bringing in uh, you know, like somebody from the 288 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.679 Comedy Network, I mean the or a booker for David 289 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:11.879 Letterman or yeah. 290 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:15.320 Yeah, and then that, to me is valid having a 291 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:19.759 disc jockey there. You know. It's like, if there's anybody 292 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:23.679 more insecure than stand up comics, it's disc jockeys. 293 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:26.559 Yeah, is that right? 294 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.000 You tell me?

Yeah 375 00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:33.359 that's again at golf is part of the deal for you. 376 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.400 Yeah, usually it's golf the carts included. 377 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:42.240 And then and. 378 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:46.200 Of course for the show we demand meal and and 379 00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:46.839 free beer. 380 00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:49.400 So yeah, it's a pretty rough, rough week of work. 381 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.720 How and how is your bookings? Do you get work? 382 00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:55.160 How have you been doing this. 383 00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:58.440 Oh the tour? This is This was the second year 384 00:19:58.480 --> 00:19:59.039 of the tour. 385 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.599 The exciting thing is is when the first year we 386 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:08.160 did it I did. I would book out theaters and 387 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:11.960 get the golf courses as sponsorships for the theater shows, 388 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.400 and we would run the production ourselves and sell tickets 389 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.319 because you know up in Canada here, all of the 390 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.880 guys on the tour are just for laughs, veterans. We've 391 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:24.599 all had our stand up specials on the Comedy Network, 392 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.119 so we can bring a few people in, so four 393 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:32.039 of us are enough to sell a theater. So this 394 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.279 year it moved into more doing the shows in the 395 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:37.720 clubhouse of the golf course, which. 396 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:39.960 Which started off with. 397 00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:42.880 Black Mountain up there, and we've found that is a 398 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:47.839 lot more successful because it's something different for the members, 399 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:52.279 and especially at these more posh golf courses, they it's 400 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:55.359 just a completely wild idea to them. So so we 401 00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:58.440
