Stand up.

Hey friends, happy Friday.

Thank you very much for press and play on today's episode of Stand Up.

I sat down with Christian Finnegan on Thursday just before noon, and that is today's episode.

It's the Friday show because I didn't get time to do much else.

I am on the road tonight to gladly support the legend John Carroll, who of course writes and performs all the music on this show.

He has a new album that he's releasing, and he's going to be performing in Virginia.

And so that's where I went on Thursday, hence not a broader show, and why I didn't get to talk with Christian a little bit later, we usually like to wrap up the week and yet the week wasn't over when we talked. Anyway, it doesn't matter. We had an awesome conversation. Christian, of course, lives in Queens, lives in New York. Mamdani was his assemblyman. He knows the guy. So it was really interesting to talk to him about that and everything else.

And I can't do it without your support. So patreon.com slash Pete Dominic and you can Venmo Christian.

I mentioned that at the end as well because I love to be able to pay certain guests whenever I can.

And so I mention his Venmo and you can also find that in the show notes. If you send him a

couple bucks, that would be awesome for his time today. So smart, so cultured and thoughtful and

funny. And I just love talking to him. So also brought up his star turn in one of the most

famous Chappelle show sketches of all time. The Mad at Real World. We talked a little bit about that. It was great. Always great. Thanks for tuning in here. Thanks for supporting me. And go buy John Carroll's new album. Go subscribe to new musicfor olds. Substack.com. That's Christian's Substack. Let's do it right now with the hilarious and brilliant and beautiful Christian Finnegan.

Really obsessed with and very impressed by young Nick Fuentes, not only because of his rhetoric and ideology, because he seems to run his own show, like technically and all on his own.

I don't think he's got any help.

So I just aspire to be as talented as that young man.

It is crazy to think that, like, you can be kind of a global figure and just be in your shitty

basement in. I don't remember what state he lives in, but like, you know, you just live in your

crappy little house. I mean, I don't know if he lives in a nice house or whatever, but just

this idea that these things that you're doing completely in private, like potentially in your

underwear with like maybe your mom or a neighbor telling you to shut the fuck up from upstairs,
