you and i tried to sell out a convention center oh man is that the most
embarrassing
that shows just how little we knew what was happening with stand-up comedy theo
man that was wild man so i'll i'll start it so yeah yeah well josh josh and his
wife who is from
lake charles was putting on a comedy show and we'd just been on last comic
standing
and they're like hey we can sell some tickets let's do a show down in lake charles
you're from
louisiana best from louisiana let's make it happen we were just on tv yeah tv
must yeah we're gonna
sell this place yeah so how many seats was it let's look it up let's look up
the place the lake
charles convention center yeah i'm dying to know me too well hold on before you
hold on let's guess
you want to guess yes yeah 15 000 no you think i'm gonna guess oh you might be
right i mean it's
that convention center because cable guy had just played it he had wow i'm
gonna guess 2600
75 75 75 all right it maybe it seemed like 1500 because we only sold can you
show a picture from
the stage i wonder if there's any stage view that's it wow do you remember how
many people were in those
seats dude so i i remember because yes i could see each one of them they're at
one point we asked them
all to come down to the front
you remember so we were gonna do radio right so we didn't even have radio
planned and the convention
center called and they were like are you guys expecting a late rush of tickets
and i was like
you know maybe i go why how many do we have sold because it was the weekend
coming up and they were
like we got 179 tickets
and i was like what and they said yeah and they said we brought the curtains as
far in as we can
wow but you know what i mean and so yeah but you still there's still 4500 seats
exposed
dude and then here's my favorite part of that besides the fact that we did the
show for probably
if there were 150 people there i would be excited i don't think there were no
some more bought as giveaways i think so yeah my favorite part about that theo
is that you know
beth made about 2000 hats you remember those hats way oh i still got a box at
my house
too i give them away on my lives oh i love that but there's about it just says
fairly normal
and because remember we made that poster fairly normal comedy tour is that it
yeah yeah yeah we made
that po we made like a fairly normal comedy tour there's no way there's a
poster that was it
that's it right there dude look at you wow look at that shit august 5th 8 p.m
late charles this was
2006 it should have said everybody who buys one ticket gets the whole row look
at this dude
um oh this is so terrible why are you third behind flip schultz i don't know it's
just the whole thing's
cringe that's it's awesome though i can't i will tell you man who who opened
the show flip no no no
no amy oh yeah amy claire amy claire amy claire amy claire opened the show
because she was from we
thought oh she's from around here too that'll help she'll sell a bunch of
tickets none of us could sell
anything a ticket uh yeah i mean i think most of them were you guys as friends
and family all of them
yeah it was it was to this date like the most humiliating walking out it has to
be the smallest
amount of tickets ever sold in a large place i can't imagine there's something
smaller 160 tickets in a
in a convention center yeah in 7 500 seats and but but i will tell you the
truth
knowing what stand-up i was doing back then that's about all it deserved yeah
like i didn't deserve more
than 100 people no dude i was telling jokes about pt cruisers that flip had
just bought one and that
was a crazy that was the tough part of me for the weekend 14 of my jokes for
about um kind of a
homoerotic essence of a pt cruiser car yep and flip schultz had just gotten one
as like his dream car
or not dream car but he just got happy yeah yeah he was happy yeah so it was
like oh man we had also
just got through on the radio the day before we had just got through doing
about a half an hour rant
on his hands yeah really on his skinny little fingers and how oh my god dude it
was like
it was pretty crazy and then he flew in we had a great time but 150 people was
i got a couple of those
hats if you want a man i wouldn't mind a hat i think god yeah yeah it it's it i
can't believe it was 15
years ago 2006 when do you feel like um i only started coming i think in 2003
yeah you had just
started when do you feel like like around what time with your stand-up because
i think it this happens
for everybody where you feel like oh you really sunk into it you're like got it
well i thought about this
the other day we were talking about it at the at the comedy club i was thinking
you know i always felt
like in the beginning of stand-up it feels like there's like this tide coming
in of like pressure
from the audience you're like okay i have to get a joke and there's you know i
got to get another joke
and okay there's laughing but they're it's all like defensive there's this tide
coming in and you
have to like battle it and battle it and then eventually over time and you don't
even really
notice it you get up and you don't you're the tide yeah so you are putting out
the pressure you are
putting out the force there's nothing coming back in maybe every now and then
there's a little bit of
like a uh undercurrent or something of like okay maybe i should move this along
or i'm a little
rusty but there's it gets to the point where you're the ocean you're the force
hope you enjoyed that
video and you can watch another and you can watch this one you can watch this

different choices some guy just brings you one option not this guy two options
