| 0:09.9 | We were made to help organize the competition. |
| 0:13.0 | Expedia, made to travel. |
| 0:15.1 | Hey, before I forget, and before we start this show, I am going on tour. |
| 0:18.8 | So make sure you guys get your tickets at the georgenco show.com because it is going fast and we're here. Joe Kerr just came out of the bathroom and he has no time. Don't forget to get your tickets. I shake my hands and so there's water all over the pier. At the georgejanko show.com. Oh, I'm going. Love you so much. I'll see you guys soon. Enjoy this episode. |
| 0:38.1 | But you cared so much about your audience, bro. |
| 0:40.8 | You care so much about the people that come and buy a ticket. |
| 0:44.1 | The first note you ever gave to me was, if you ever sell somebody a ticket, you better sell them something that you would want to buy and that they would buy twice. |
| 0:53.9 | You know, when I talk about 20 shows in Schaumburg and I'm bragging about it, I'm also not telling you how depressed I was. And I'm missing all those days. Like, I miss so many things, and I get so mad at myself. So I hate it. I hate reminiscing. I hate it. I'm also secure with the fact that my son now, because he's such a smart kid, now that he's on the road and he sees what I do and he gets on stage with me every show, because he's told me, my son understood. He gets it. You're not sitting here as a regular comic being like, I don't know how I'm going to put food on my table, let alone my child's table. |
| 1:12.5 | So I don't think that should be something that you should look back and feel sad about. |
| 1:15.6 | I think you should look back and feel sad about. |

My first guest ever, Joe Coy. Do you remember that? I remember. I remember. Yeah. I podcast and I said, hey, man, like, I would love it. No pressure, dude. I totally understand. But I love it if you could be my guest. And you're like, yeah, come over. I was like, you're in Vegas. You're like, yeah, come over. I was like, all right. So we literally grabbed all of our bags, but we had no real equipment yet. Yeah. And you really gave me a shot. Do you remember what happened in between? Because I still till this day, it haunts me. Do you really? I don't. It haunts me, bro. You're in the middle of this passionate story. Just come. And then our audio board goes, and then you just go. Yeah. |
