to come and get tickets this week on the broadcast, a guy who subbed in for me when I was in Serbia to do two bears one cave and fucking killed it. If you have not watched that episode, it's really fucking great.

I've heard about I that's the first time I ever heard about Brian was when he came in and did two bears with Tom and he fucking have me rolling laughing.

And we texted back and forth a few times I was like I got to get him on the broadcast, I got him on a man this guy is fucking fascinating. It's Brian Simpson. Have I ever told you it is? It's Brian Simpson. You know the fuck it is.

It is a great podcast. We get pretty fucking drunk. We talk about sleep apnea. We talk about his story. His story is fascinating and hopefully if you don't know, I just want you to know that it's it's it's it's it's lian calls it the opera gene.

But he's a guy that has fucking he's a really fascinating guy from foster care to the military to homeless to stand up to now a 30 minute special on Netflix the standups and it's and he is he kills it.

It is he's the first one of the of the series. So make sure to check it out. He is an absolutely hilarious comedian, but what you'll find in his podcast is he's a very, very insightful dude. His words that he chooses to speak with our poetic at times.

It masterful at times and absolutely brilliant. He is a very smart minded comedian who who is his going to be absolutely tremendously huge. I think one day.

I I I'm very lucky to have him on the podcast and for him to share his story with us. Like I said, we do get pretty hammered. So and both of us have sleep apnea. So if you hear us breathing on the podcast.

It's my bad. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, standup comedian with a half hour special on Netflix the standups Brian Simpson.

I'll say that again, congratulations on a fantastic special on Netflix. Thank you. Thank you. It's got to feel good. Yeah, man. It feels it's really it's like a relief. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you know how you know how it is like in the beginning.

There's been a comic is hard. It's a hard. It's because there's no guarantees. You know, it's not. And so you finally get that situation of like, oh, for relief. Like now, I don't have now. This is like officially my job forever. Yeah. Oh, wow. It's funny. I haven't thought about that way. Yeah, because I think I backdoored it a little bit.

And that I got I did other jobs, meaning like did travel channel did did development deals did hosting gigs did pilots. I did maybe I couldn't even tell you maybe like 50 pilots. Oh, wow.

But I but it's just a ton of like there was bullshit pilots. I'm not bullshit. People are listening, but you get like 10 grand 15 grand for a pilot. And so I was able to pay the bills. But you're right when you say that standup wise.

I hadn't thought about that. Yeah, you got a good special and then all of a sudden it's like, oh, I can do this for a living. No, right. Like all of a sudden is like, I can say no to all that other shit if I want.

Oh, well, what um, did you like what was your preparation for that for that special because I'm curious. I get I never.

My first special I did I had no anxiety about but I realized I didn't work that hard. They just was like, oh, yeah, this is my hour. I'll just do my hour.

No, you know, I because because everyone that did those it has a unique experience because of the pandemic, right. Because there was this small window because we found out in.
