1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to visit with a very funny comedian by

2
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the name of Matt Sharp. He's going to be in

3
00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Iowa with me tonight and tomorrow night where in Sue

4
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Falls Together. He's also a therapist and comedy and therapy.

5
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:12.839
<v Speaker 1>Do those things go together?

6
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Matt, Oh, absolutely good, sir.

7
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:19.760
<v Speaker 3>It is fun to see people being able to find

8
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:23.440
<v Speaker 3>joy in life. So when I work with clients with depression,

9
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, anytime we can find a moment of levity

10
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 3>or humor that we can bring some laughter out is

11
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.240
<v Speaker 3>always a positive thing. And there's actually a number of

12
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:37.240
<v Speaker 3>therapy intervention interventions that are designed to help clients laugh

13
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.399
<v Speaker 3>at some of their own symptoms. Not to make fun

14
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 3>of them or not to diminish them. But when I

15
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 3>can take a stressor or a source of anxiety and

16
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 3>laugh at that a little bit and kind of see

17
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 3>myself in a more human way, it's actually incredibly liberating.

18
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 3>So yep, therapy and comedy go together all the time.

19
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:56.119
<v Speaker 1>Now, I want to make sure that we let people

20
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>know it's not like he's on stage going, oh you

21
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>should hear about this one crazy dude that come to

22
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>my office. It's not that at all.

23
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>No, not at all.

24
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, those hippo fines are pretty pretty steep if

25
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 3>you're talking about clients in public. But I reserve the

26
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 3>right to make fun of people who should be in

27
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 3>therapy and are not.

28
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>They are fair game one percent.

29
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>So a therapist and a stand up comic. But which

30
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>one came first? Were you a therapist that started comedy

31
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>or a comedian that started doing therapy.

32
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, on the one hand, professionally, as far as how

33
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 3>I get paid, you know, therapy came first. But I've

34
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 3>been interested in comedy and been laughing and listening to

35
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 3>old comedy records that my parents had ever since I

36
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.640
<v Speaker 3>was in sixth grade. So I've always been enjoying comedy

37
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 3>and telling funny stories and doing a lot of public

38
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 3>speaking with a lot of comedy, all of those things.

39
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 3>But as far as professionally stepping on stage with a mic,

40
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:48.879
<v Speaker 3>that therapy came first.

41
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a cool combination. Most comics I know

42
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>actually should see a therapist. Now, I've never seen you

43
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 1>do therapy, but i've seen you do comedy, and you

44
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 1>do a great job. And I bet you're a good

45
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 1>therapist because you're really easy to talk to to.

46
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 3>Sort of one of the prerequisites for our professional If

47
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 3>people are jerks that really usually don't make good therapists.

48
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I suppose if the therapy session is literally just

49
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>you telling him, well found the problem, it's you, they

50
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>probably wouldn't come back.

51
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

52
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 3>I live near I live near Grand Rapids, Michigan, and

53
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 3>I will tell the joke occasionally that I want to

54
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 3>move my practice to Grand Rapids because they have a

55
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 3>section of Grand Rapids called Gasolely Village, which seems like

56
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 3>a great place to do therapy. Sit there and tell people, yeah,

57
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 3>it is your fault and charge him for that. So

58
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 3>so far, I don't think that's gonna work, but that's

59
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 3>kind of the goal at some point, is to I'm

60
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 3>totally kiddy.

61
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 1>Or you could just try to convince him there is

62
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>no problem. I don't know what you're talking about. There's

63
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>no problem at all.

64
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 2>No, nothing's here, nothing to see here at all.

65
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 1>So I love that.

66
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Again.

67
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Matt Sharp is who we're talking to right now. Matt

68
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 1>is a very funny stand up comic from Michigan. He

69
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 1>is going to be with me tonight in Iowa Royal, Iowa.

70
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>So if you know anybody in that area going to

71
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>be there at the Great Hall in Royal tonight for

72
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 1>a fun, clean comedy show. And then tomorrow night we're

73
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 1>in Sioux Fall, South Dakota at the Ramata and you

74
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and I had a chance to work together there. That's

75
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>been about a month ago. You only did like a quick,

76
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 1>little five to ten minute set, but tomorrow night you're

77
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 1>going to be doing like a full forty five minutes

78
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 1>to an hour set at the Ramata. And again, very

79
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.759
<v Speaker 1>very funny guy. I'm excited to work with you again.

80
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Her. Oh, it's fun and what a great crowd.

81
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was a smaller bunch, but man, we

82
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 3>had a great time and the other comics you had

83
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 3>lined up for us, And we should probably tell people

84
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 3>that these are clean comedy shows so you can escape

85
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 3>from your family or bring them with, whichever you prefer.

86
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 3>Will be in the PG to PG thirteen contient rating range,

87
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 3>so it'll be a great time. You will need to

88
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 3>you will not need a shower or anything afterwards. We'll

89
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 3>just have a great time laughing together and enjoying some

90
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:44.159
<v Speaker 3>time with family and friends.

91
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 1>And the thing I think works out really good again.

92
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 1>The show tonight in Royal, Iowa. The show tomorrow night,

93
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and Sue fall South Dakota. It's right after the holidays.

94
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>So if you've got family and friends and people that

95
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 1>have been staying with you and you're going, hey, I

96
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>need to entertain these people, bring them out for a

97
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>clean comedy show. It's going to a whole lot of fun.

98
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 1>Or on the other hand, if you're like, you know what,

99
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 1>I've had enough of these people, then you can just say, hey, Mom, sorry,

100
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't have enough tickets, so we got to go.

101
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 1>Don't wait up for us. We're gonna be home late.

102
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>You guys have a good time without.

105
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 2>We're to all the fine again.

106
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Our guest today Matt Sharp. He and I are going

107
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 1>to be in Royal, Iowa tonight. The reason I keep

108
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>bringing that one up I know it's holidays, so you

109
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of folks traveling. So if you happen

110
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.319
<v Speaker 1>to be in that area with family and friends tonight,

111
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.399
<v Speaker 1>come and join us tonight in Royal, Iowa at the

112
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Great Hall Beautiful Venue. Or if you know people who

113
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.199
<v Speaker 1>live in that area and you want to reach out

114
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 1>and say, hey, clean comics in your neighborhood, you might

115
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 1>want to check it out. And then tomorrow night we're

116
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be at the Ramata in Sioux Falls, and

117
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.439
<v Speaker 1>they've got a cool dueling piano show set up for

118
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 1>New Year's Eve, so they've already got the rooms set

119
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 1>up for that for tomorrow night. So we're going to

120
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 1>have our stage in the center and we're going to

121
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>be able to do comedy in the round where we'll

122
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 1>have people all around us, and then we're gonna be

123
00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>telling jokes in middle. Have you ever done comedy like

124
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that before, Matt.

125
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.959
<v Speaker 2>Oh, sure, absolutely, it's great fun.

126
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.120
<v Speaker 3>You kind of keep turning, make sure no one's trying

127
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 3>to sneak up behind you, you know, to heckle you

128
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 3>or anything.

129
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 2>So now this is gonna be a great night.

130
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited for it, but I'm also a little concerned

131
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>with my ADHD, Like I don't know where I'm going

132
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:16.079
<v Speaker 1>to be looking or how I'm going to do that.

133
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>But and again officially, in order for us to have that,

134
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 1>we have to have that many tickets sold. If we

135
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>don't have that many tickets sold, I can pull the

136
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>wall closed, and I might be doing that just for

137
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 1>my own sanity, So we'll see if you would like

138
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>to get a ticket again tonight in Royal, Iowa or

139
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night, and that tomorrow night is Intoo Falls at

140
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 1>the Ramata Conference Center. And there's also a silent auction

141
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night as well. All of the details online. Matt,
