0:00.0 | We have a special guest this week again. My friend Felicia is here. Hello. How are you doing? I'm doing good. She is a photographer and a comedian. |
0:29.0 | And well, now ex-podcaster. I still podcast on Wednesday night's live at the joint studios, which goes on serious. It's called Bad Advice. But it's a podcast where I absolutely don't have to do anything technically with it. |
0:45.0 | Fantastic. Just show up and just puke my thoughts out and move on. |
0:51.0 | It's kind of what we're doing right now. She's actually funny. We just talk about boring shit. That's true. What do you guys actually talk about? Do you guys just geek out about technical? |
1:01.0 | Anything all technical, but we've ended up talking a lot about ourselves and our lives and how we try not to be super fat when all we do is sit around and talk a lot about beer and all sorts of stuff. |
1:15.0 | It came out of literally us hanging out at a bar going. We should record this crap. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's all we really do. But there's a lot of things we want to talk to you about, especially about technology stuff. |
1:27.0 | Oh, that's frightening. Well, there's a whole thing for those answers. That's frightening. |
1:33.0 | You're out there. You've got your website. You've got your Twitter. You've got your Facebook's. You've got your Instagram's. Yeah. Yeah. |
1:41.0 | It is what it is. Now I started a podcasting like two and a half years ago. That's interesting. Now everyone podcasts. I don't mean to, you know, look, you guys know, I want to say that. |
1:53.0 | But it's like, it's a great thing. It's a great thing. Well, I wanted to ask you specifically because you were up and coming comedian, you were doing really, really well. |
2:02.0 | And you kind of got out of the game for a while. Right. Right. And now you're kind of back. How's it different because of the technology? We didn't have any of this shit when you first went out. Well, I did comedy for 15 years. |
2:14.0 | I started at the comedy store when I was, I think, 20 or so in 1986. And it was at the end of the boom of comedy as most comedians will tell you. And that was a time where at the comedy store any given night, you would see Sam Kenneson or Robin Williams. |
2:30.0 | Or, you know, name any comic, you would see them there. And it was interesting then because your value was based on one skill. Right. |
2:42.0 | In those days, if you had one skill and you could kick ass at it, that's all you need. Like if you were a Gallagher and you could hit a watermelon with a sledgehammer, you were gold. |
2:50.0 | Hey, you don't know what it's like to fucking have to go get watermelons before the show carry that sledgehammer around. Sledgehammers are fucking heavy. They're heavy. |
3:00.0 | So, but the thing is, it's like, I remember back in those days, if you even had a press kit or if you had a little bit of like you would carry clippings around and you would show managers and agents, they'd be like, this motherfucker is not funny because they're spending all this time doing press. |
3:16.0 | So obviously they're not working on the craft, so they're not funny. And the thing is coming back into comedy now because I did take eight years off with my kids. |
3:24.0 | And everyone is technically savvy. Everyone's been to Juilliard. Everyone's been to like, what is Juilliard have to do with comedy? I don't know what everyone's fucking been there. |
3:34.0 | You know what I mean? Like now it's like you can't be great at one thing. You have to be kind of mediocre at 150 things. |
3:42.0 | Which is great in its own way, but it sucks too. |
3:46.0 | Yeah, I mean specifically, specifically like with comedians because they all, every comedians on Twitter and you have to give your jokes away. |
3:53.0 | That's the thing. If you had jokes in the 80s, those jokes would last you for 10 years. You could go on the road and make a kick ass living. |
