And if they don't have the tickets up for sale, then hit them up and ask them
why.
September 14th and 15th, that's Zaney's in Nashville, Tennessee.
Some more dates will be added.
And, um, and I'm just grateful to be getting out there and having people come,
man.
It's going to be fun and we're going to do some cool stuff.
We're also going to start doing some outreach where we're going to do some
things for single moms in some of these cities.
So whenever we go into a city and do a show or a weekend of shows, we're going
to have people in advance.
Listeners can submit single mothers that they know.
And we're going to, um, we're going to get the mother a babysitter, her babysitter,
you know, so she has somebody that she trusts.
And we're going to, you know, take care of her and a friend, take them out to
dinner, um, and then get them a nice setup at the show.
You know, a nice second or third row seat and just, uh, make it so a nice
single mom can come out and enjoy an evening and know that her children are
being taken care of.
Um, I think that's going to be really, really cool.
And I want to thank our Patreon supporters because that's what our Patreon
money is, uh, is going to start going towards is paying for things like that.
So really excited about that and, um, just, man, it's going to be cool.
This is so cool.
It's like a fun, there's going to be a fun fall.
Uh, we're also going to do one other show in, um, rural Illinois.
Uh, and it's a fundraiser for the Paramount Theater and that's in Wyoming,
Illinois.
Uh, those dates will be up this week as well.
And that's going to be June 29th of Friday, 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
That's in Stark County, Illinois.
And that's middle of nowhere, boy.
And, uh, and that's where I'm from.
Not there originally, but I'm from middle of nowhere.
Just a different one down in Louisiana.
This episode, as always, is brought to you by Gray Block Pizza.
Gray Block, 1811 Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles.
They got that food and they got that feeling.
And all you need is your face.
Gray Block Pizza.
Get that hitter.
Dude, I hate to use this music again to start off our show, but I also love to
use it again.
And this is, uh, Shine by Bishop Gunn.
I just needed this today.
Come on now.
I'm just sitting on your front porch, wondering how could I be so far from my
home.
And my mind is somewhere else, but when I find it, I'll patch up where it's
been blown.
Now I'm just floating on the breeze.
And I feel I'm falling like these leaves.
I must be cornerstone.
Must be cornerstone.
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind.
I found I can feel it in my bones.
I can feel it, baby.
Can you feel that?
It's going to take a little time for me to set that parking brake and let
myself, come on now.
Shine that light on me.
Come on now.
I'll sit and tell you my story.
And that is Shine by Bishop Gunn off of the new album, Natchez.
And that's out of Natchez, Mississippi.
And I used to work my, a lot of you guys already know it.
I'll say it one more time.
One of my good friends who passed away, he died of addiction.
And he used to, he employed me to work on his farm for a few years.
And I became good friends with his family right after college.
And one of his sons is now the drummer in that beautiful band called Bishop Gunn.
And that's their single that's hitting the airwaves, man.
It's called Shine.
And yeah, that just, you know, it makes me feel good when I hear that song.
And so I had to start off with that.
Thanks for coming in and welcome to you, whoever you are, whoever you're, if
you're listening,
you got your ears open and you're sharing a moment of your time with me.
Man, I, you know, I, what's going on?
A lot of stuff is going on.
You know, we had, you know, I got to go on Joe Rogan this week.
We went on Joe Rogan and Joe Rogan's,
you know, it's, I was nervous.
First of all, you know, I was nervous because I look up to Joe so much, you
know, and for
some reason with me, I think when I look up to somebody, it, for some reason,
it makes
me kind of nervous.
You know, I guess, well, you want to, I don't know.
It's like when you're hanging out, you know what it feels like to me a little
bit.
It's like you're hanging out with your big brother and his friends.
And you're like, you want to, you know, you're just, I don't know.
I was just nervous.
But it was, it was wild, man.
And right off the bat, Joe, Joe starts talking to me and I love Joe.
You know, I'm extremely grateful to him.
Um, you know, he's done a lot of nice things, small things that were really
nice for me.
Like out of, uh, like he would just see me do comedy and I've said this before,
but he
would just drop me a text a couple of days later the next day and just say, Hey
man, you
had a really good set, you know, and, uh, and that kind of stuff, like you don't
realize
sometimes like somebody that you admire, like, you know, telling you something
pop, sharing
something positive, supporting what you do.
You don't realize how much that means to that person.
And he doesn't, you know, I don't think he, you know, he doesn't probably
realize it, but
it's like, I would get those texts and I'm like, wow, man, you know, it's like
your big
bro.
It's like, I don't know.
It's just like, you're all, it's like impressing your brother, impressing, I
don't know, you
know, and that kind of stuff really just res has resonated with me over the
years.
He's done that.
And Joey Diaz does that as well.
He'll call you, but, but Joe would do that sometimes and just hit me up and say,
Hey man,
you were really funny last night and, you know, coming from, you know, my life
and all
I wanted to do probably was, you know, make, um, make people I admired, you
know, make them
feel like, or make them feel like I was part of, like I was okay.
You know, and maybe some of that goes back to like father and brother, you know,
not being
present growing up and all of that.
But, you know, just when you have a, you know, when you have a male figure and
it, you know,
just that support, support, that's really what it is.
Joe's been so supportive.
And so, you know, anyway, but I, you know, I was excited to be in there and I
was excited
to get to hang out with him because he thinks like wild, you know, he's like,
he thinks
like he's got, you know, it's like, I don't, I think he has more than one brain
in his head.
You know, Joe Rogan might have five or six brains in there.
And one of the brains is probably a rat, you know, and then he's, but he might
have other
brains orbiting around brains.
You know, he might have one brains that's, you know, he might have brains in
the distance,
you know, cooking elk.
I mean, he's got, you know, he just, he continues to kind of like expand his
way of thinking.
And so right in the beginning, he was talking about infinite and infinite, if
there were infinite
universes and if there were more than just one of you.
And I couldn't even, I was so nervous, kind of like, I was just, couldn't even
think really
that good.
And, but then now I'm thinking after that, I texted him the next day and I was
like, man,
I'm obsessed now with wondering if there are infinite universes, so many.
So this is what he was saying.
If so many infinite universes that if you, there would be a possibility for you
to meet your
exact self.
Like, you know, say the two universes get close enough to each other somehow in
orbits
or whatever.
And then you, you know, there's, you know, programs, you're both astronauts or
something
and you meet, like if you were able to meet your exact self, think about that.
If you were able to meet your exact self.
And I was just like, I left there thinking, would I like myself?
Like, if I had to, if like, if I met me, like, would I like me?
What would I do?
What would I think?
Would I think I was neat?
You know, would I think I was tall?
Would I think that I was handsome?
You know, would I think that I, I mean, would I know if I were able to look
into my own eyes,
would I be able to like see my truths at like another, like another dimension?
You know, especially since most of my life, you know, especially growing up,
like I didn't
have any, a lot of self-worth.
So I was, most of my self-worth would come from what other people thought of me.
You know, there was no, you know, there was nothing inside of me.
So everything that I knew I had to get from the outside.
And so I was so hyper aware of what other people were constantly thinking.
Because I needed to be, because I needed that next second and that next minute
and that
next, you know, just to know, I need, I was monitoring how I was and if I was
okay through
moment to moment interaction with others.
And what they would give me back, that's how I'd feel about myself.
I was thinking like if, if I based my feelings off of what other people thought
of me and I saw
myself, would I then like looking into my own eyes, would I be able to, you
know, just come
full circle with, with what self-worth means and what it, you know, and, and
just like get to
another plateau in thinking about that.
But it just fascinated me.
I left out of there thinking like, what the fuck?
I never thought about running into myself.
Would I think I had bad breath?
You know, would I think I had like a long neck or a regular neck or a, you know,
a kind of
a, you know, a four out of 10, kind of a mid-range, lower, you know, lower mid-range
neck,
medium rare.
Cause I've all, you know, I've had, you know, I don't have a super long neck
and I don't think
a lot of people in my family, we're not real look arounders.
Some people have a long neck, you know, when you see those people, they're
looking for stuff
and they can, you know, look behind the sofa easier and they don't lose their
wallet probably
as much cause they, you know, they got that extra two inches to look and to
gaze, you know,
they could see fruit easier if they're reaching, if they're looking for fruits.
But when you have that limited neck, man, you kind of, you know, you're stuck
on your own
little bitty, you know, it's not really a hilltop.
You just kind of stuck on, you know, you kind of just hanging out on your own
cliff side.
You can't do a lot when you got that limited, kind of that limited neck.
And I come from a long line of people's limited necks.
But yeah, I was just wondering if you saw yourself and you looked in your own
eyes, would
you, I don't know what we, I mean, would your just whole world explode?
Like, would you just know everything?
Would I like myself?
Would I like, it just blew my mind if there were infinite universes and it just
blew my
mind, man.
So I left out of there, I think with a little bit more thinking, you know, and
I think that
that's kind of what Joe Rogan does for me is he makes me think a little bit
more and he
makes me think sometimes uncomfortable things, you know, he makes me think
outside of like
the confines of the comfortable confines of things that, you know, these, these
templates
that I was raised in or raised around or just that I saw, you know, it's kind
of like when
you see, remember when you got that, you got them colors when you were a child
and your mother
took you to the color shop and y
