Welcome to Stories That Stick.

I am your host, Chad Quant, here to talk about stories that resonated us and bonded to our hearts,

be it comic books or movies or television or perhaps a wrestling match.

I am joined by the wonderful Joey Cliff, a writer for TV, a director for animation.

Joey, I feel like you're like a man of seven trades, you know? I feel like I

see you around in the creative space. Welcome to the podcast, Joey. Yeah, thanks so much for

having me, Chad. Yeah, my seven trades are writer, director, comedian, bricklayer. Oh,

air traffic controller. Let's see. Oh, God. Now what are you saying? I don't know. Are those true in

anyway? Uh, no. I've been thinking our industry is a little rough right now. I've been thinking about getting into like a bricklayer trade or something. Like what can I do in my late 30s? Yeah, that is I've thought about so my my my go-to is that my like I'm Native American and rural Calates and my my tribe has a really nice casino 20 minutes north of Portland and I'm just like my go-toes like I could probably valet at my tribe's casino I mean you could do better than valet would you would you would you be willing to ever to work a table or is that like not your spot uh I feel like I'm too nice to want to work a table because like if somebody lost I'd feel okay okay actually wait a second so I'd feel two emotions if somebody lost like the human side of me would feel bad but the side of me where my my were my tribe profits if people lose I'd be like wait a wait a second wait wait actually I could lose a little bit more that's a complex emotion yeah yeah you're

kind of like oh that's so bad though but wouldn't it feel so good if you came back yeah yeah don't you just wish you were addicted to this that'd be real cool are you a that we don't make this well about casino are you are you a gambler at all joey i don't do it too much uh no i'm not uh i've never really been been like a gambler. I think it's just I was like you know I was like raised super poor so it's like

I think that I've been taught to like like not I've never really been like a gambler. I think it's just I was like, you know, I was like raised super poor.

So it's like I think that I've been taught to like not, I've been taught to like not do things that could perceivably be wasting money. Yes. That said, it's like, I don't know, do I spend a lot of money on like random toys and bullshit? Of course. But like, you know, but it's like that's not gambling, you know. No, you know what you're going to get, right?
