maybe after i get this little run of shows done after irvine and the last
theater shows
and then it's smooth sailing from there on out because i'm back back in the
clubs back in the
clubs yeah where it really doesn't matter is that what you're going back down
yeah i'm going back
down i saw you know the matrix when they go over and they see the light yeah
like i like i last
year it was like because you know my agents are telling me yeah you do this you
do that
you know you can you can like make and so it was like okay we'll pull up and i
see the sky
and i did maybe one or two theater shows and i'm like oh my god it's beautiful
and then right back
down and i'm just being stabbed by electronics like the scene in the matrix i
know but the the key is
to never see that yeah uh you've seen that i have so it's it's no different it
doesn't make a difference
yeah yeah no clubs are more fun clubs are more fun clubs are more fun i choose
you know i love i love
a club i love like a small black box maybe like 60 seats like just so i can
kind of like be in the
there's nothing more fun than performing for five yeah five ten people free
tickets too that's the
other oh it's oh yeah post post and post that it's 50 off when i have to bark
before a show
yeah hey do you want to come in here it gets it's like i know this guy dude
yeah i spent an hour
dragging him out of his own pile of vomit in front of the sushi restaurant of
course and then i'm on
stage and i've almost created the fourth wall that didn't exist between us when
i was barking for him
to come in and now i pretend we have him man yeah i'm you know it'd be nice i
hope i end up as one
one of those comics did you have it in vancouver where there'd be like a comic
that was famous in
the 80s as famous as a comedian could be oh my god like they start doing they
start coming around
the scene again uh-huh and like it's like they they don't have any respect for
themselves they don't
have respect for anybody or the thing yeah and they're kind of just checking to
see if like
well well maybe you'll respect me no okay great well i mean when i was starting
there was a and i'm
gonna do a big i'm gonna do a big name drop here so you know watch your feet
you know but uh there
was a comic uh ron vaudry oh man this guy legend he'd wear like a peaky blinders
cap and he was kind
of like he was maybe like 65 and he uh he used arsenio hall show as his credit
yeah but he actually
was never on the arsenio show he was on like the prac the test episode yeah um
and so me as like a
20 year old i used to just bully this old man whose entire life hadn't turned
out the woman that co-created
the daily show that's her like credit she says that all the time i forget her
name it's i want to say
elizabeth smart but i think that was that little girl that got kidnapped or it
was like a woman ceo or
something yeah it sounds like somebody i forget her name it's a woman that the
craig kilbourne
she was like one of the co not the main lady but there was another lady but she
showed up in austin
at one point and she was like one of those famous older comics but the bigger
one was barry sobel
who was on rodney dangerfield's young comedian special which is like robert schimmel
andrew dice
clay bill hicks you know it's like all these like legends and barry sobel who
did he was like he was
just he just did like beastie boys yeah basically he was like the beastie boys
um like in terms of bit
and like his style his style he was like uh like yeah he was like a kid he was
a a proto wigger from
new york cool i like him yeah yeah i like that uh and that sounds good to me a
little bear sobel
yeah we're oh you should have said so he would wear a beanie and stuff and um
but then i don't know
what he did really in the 90s i'm sure he's around but he ended up in austin
and then what was he
rapping with down there and then he was actually pretty chill he wasn't like oh
that's nice yeah
but he got he got bullied because he well i don't want to you know it's his own
personal business but
let's just say there was still plenty of homophobia in in in 2009 oh maybe that's
why his career didn't
work out my roommate would go around be like that guy's gay and it was yeah
well see this is what's
detrimental yeah right because he can't procreate yeah yeah no use for him it's
like that's what i
was trying to say but we know a lot of gay people and it's like yeah but they're
they're honest about
it that's oh he's oh you see the problem that's so that's funny that's kind of
he's like don't if
you're gonna be gay don't be a down low gay guy let me know that's kind of what
happened and then
the last i ever saw from him is like he he posted on facebook he's like this is
fucking ridiculous
like i thought this was a progressive city and i'm like damn now i made it
weird just because i i don't
want to say that i'm gay i'll make keep austin weird um but yeah then the only
thing i remember
about him is he had like the thing that was weird about him is he had this like
cartoon that he was
like the cartoon had a name and he would post it on the internet and it was
like the alien boy and it's
like this weird shitty drawing that kind of looked like um like the ranger from
have you ever seen
wizards the ralph bakshi movie no he's yeah that was it the knight or the ranger
just the red guy
yeah and so he would post that cartoon and we rebranded everything with this
cartoon and i didn't
know if the cartoon was supposed to be him or like what or it was like his
thing he was i don't know it
never made any sense to me and it was like so bizarre i never bothered asking
he's just early
on in content creation i guess yeah yeah that's probably what it was i mean he's
just trying to
get his like it's it was weird in a way where i didn't understand it in the way
that now that i'm
old and i see things that young people do and i'm like i don't understand this
but i know that it's
something he was ahead of his time well it's something that's just it's my
problem you know
look i'm sure this makes sense to a lot of people
