What's up? What's up, everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode of Part of The Problem.

I am Dave Smith. As always, I'm joined by the great hilarious Robbie at the Fire, Bernstein.

How are you, sir? I am well, my friend. How are you?

I'm good. I'm good. I'm looking forward to going up to Toronto with you. You've got a little string of gigs this weekend, right? I got a wild amount of stuff. Assuming I get across the border, it'll be a burn at New York on Thursday. Fans got a nice wine. I'm adding there. Stop adding this caveat into the plug.

The point of doing a plug is to get people to come to the show and then you go with it's like, I mean, I guess if it happens, it'll be fun. All these other ones are definitely happening. We're going to be in Toronto too. That's the one I'm on. That's the one I care about. We're going to be there. All right. Well, Bird at New York, then opening for you in Toronto, then I'm Detroit, Michigan,

and then Pittsburgh, and then coming home on Monday. And I got a lot of porches all summer long. You go to porch store.com, see the whole roster of them. Hell yeah, dude. And I'm getting real excited for that Denver weekend, too. That's coming up soon, man. and we got a that was i think if we sold out every show last year so we're hoping to do that again

this year if you're in the denver too that's coming up soon man and we got uh that was i think if we sold that every show last year

so we're hoping to do that again this year if you're in the denver area and you want to come out grab

tickets now because these are going to move uh comic dave smith dot com and then um porch torr dot com is your

site right rob i got that right you changed it a lot, but I remembered. And I'm excited

to not be home for any more weekends for a while, because my God, do I hate it. Yeah, see, your home is a reflection of yourself, Rob, and you hate yourself. And this is why you have to try to run away. You have to try to run away from yourself all over the country. But you bring, you bring joy and laughter you get stuff done it's just all the stuff you hate it's like

i was working all weekend but it was getting myself at a long time all over the country. But you bring, you bring joy and laughter. You get stuff done.

It's just all the stuff you hate. It's like I was working all weekend, but it was getting myself out of laundry dead. It's cleaning up the piles you ignore all the time. And I'd rather just let the piles like grow and ignore them. And then just be out and doing the comedy think. There's a, I've, I've essentially, the thing is like, I just, look, there's, there's something to that when you're, when you're on the road a lot, that always becomes part of life. It's like, when you get home, you want to just be like, ah, I'm home. But really, when you get home, it's like, no, here's the 15 tasks that you can only get done now that you're home, that you couldn't get done there.

But I'll tell you what having kids, all right, this is not going to sound like a good pitch for having children.

But dads out there, I'll know, get what I'm saying.

There's something about when you have kids that you're just forced to submit.

It's like the true concept of Islam, right? You're just forced to submit it's like the true concept of islam right

you're just forced to submit to the fact that that's just life life is always just doing some other

stuff there's no such thing as a break there's no such thing as like it's just like as soon as you get

home it's just the list of shit you got to do is never ending. I built a gazebo this weekend, Rob. Did you really? Did you really? Did you really? Does that mean you hired someone else to build a gazebo? No, I built my dumb gazebo with my father-in-law. Dude, it nearly broke me, Rob, like a big huge way. It looks so good though. I'm so proud of it. That was my entire weekend.

I mean, this thing was a humongous job.

Anyway, okay, let's get into some stuff because there's a lot of stuff going on.
