don't have to worry
she works hard she's like 77 or something and she's still like you know
delivers stuff and
um uh yeah it is nice to know that she can take the day off or something she
wants to and not have
to fucking think about paying something that's gotta be it's pretty cool that's
gotta that's
like gotta feel outstanding yeah it's tough because our relationship's a little
tough yeah
what's the how's the relationship you talk about it i never i i've always had a
tough time hearing my
mother you know i felt like i don't know i just have always had a little like
uh uh i think you
know sometimes i think the reason i do comedy is because i wanted my mom to
laugh or something i
was young and i couldn't get her to laugh yeah and so i it like spun out into
this weird thing where
that's what i was doing you know because i remember my dad laughing all the
time but i never met
at you yeah just laughing yeah just laughing just having a good time a good
having a good having
having a good time yeah and then i don't remember my mother having that at all
and i think there was
always like this stress that she was stressed and i couldn't do anything you
know i was just so
incapable that's the the i've seen study a lot of comedians is about making
your mom laugh yeah
that's a big one as much as it's like we're sad clowns and all that stuff it's
a lot of it's sad
children children of sad moms yeah a lot honestly a lot of times that's the
formula for comedians
that should be a club yeah children with sad mom my mom's not sad my mom is uh
i always felt like
there's like plexiglass between us like
like ah like i want a fucking more of a connection and we just can't get there
yeah like we just can't
it just doesn't that's not she doesn't know how to do it yeah she's a good mom
yeah it was like did
the you know like like attentive and all that stuff just emotionally and that's
the that's another
generational thing where my mom's 85 so yeah like i don't she don't know like
emotion the fuck are you
talking about yeah like yeah we can't really think about that kind of born in
19 she's born during the
great depression 1933 like i don't her mom died when she was three wow like she
got split up
like one of her sisters went to ireland and then they couldn't pick her up
because of the war
yeah yeah we're not coming this week what we're not coming this week because of
those u-boats
because of hitler can you imagine that though all the time especially on unsolved
mysteries you see
all these families just got split up we had four kids we couldn't afford it the
orphanages to it
just like like my mom's mom died and then she had two sisters maybe three and
each uncle took a
different one or each aunt took a different one but meanwhile the dad was still
alive they just were
like yeah yeah we're not leaving a dad that's insane yeah this is a hill they'll
be dead in a week
leaving with a guy so they went to the aunts and then the dad was like i'm
getting ready and i was like
mom how long did he need to get ready for and it he never really got it
together wow yeah and then he
remarried like his mate just crazy fucking 30s and 40s shit uh but so and then
i'm like where's the
feelings but why is there blessing because the fucking hitler and the great
depression that's why you
fucking child yeah that's the thing oil brat that's what i realized a lot of
times too man and
i think about that too about myself man i'm just a fucking brat like yeah at
some point it's like
fuck i also have to realize look dude you have to just fucking take care of
yourself you have to find
a way to do it you can't think at a certain point you can't think about all
this shit too much
it's a pro it's a life's a plan of a program of action you got to take action
and get yourself
feeling good you got to get yourself doing something you have to just get going
you know um
yeah it's crazy to think sometimes that yeah our parents who probably had no
whose parents to them
probably didn't teach them much about emotions or anything at all the rockefellers
probably had
emotions bruh they they were fucking all out of their minds too yeah they like
the rockefellers
doing coke like no the rockefellers parent john rockefeller's dad was probably
a fucking coal miner
yeah there wasn't well you know what i mean like they there wasn't like crazy
like three people were
rich yeah everybody else fucking lived in appalachia yeah i mean not literally
but like there was no like
well there was a robust middle class no life was fucking brutal everyone's shit
in an outhouse
like even if you were there was there's this book called sapiens it's really
good but they were the
guy was saying like there were french french like the king of we live better
than the king of france
from 1700 wow wow the king of france from 1700 shat outside damn no in didn't
have he had somebody to
carry it out there for him yeah no pete had help he's going by him by himself
uh but he didn't have
a fucking there was no indoor heat no indoor air there was no he no car no like
nothing so no ice
no ice theo so so uh we have it good but at the same time it's not perfect yeah
damn yeah you'd have
somebody whose body timbers was a little lower just blow on you all day yeah
just yeah bring in the
coolant yeah yeah and he would blow on it yeah like we don't we it's hard but
problems are problems
problems are relative right so as much as you're no as much as you are like as
much as it's still if
they were alive today they'd have the same problems we have yeah which is i don't
feel quite right i
don't feel i feel isolated i feel alienated i feel emotionally i feel whatever
all the things that
we deal with that's our version of shitting outside yeah yeah it's our version
of sitting outside and
the problem but but then the the part that we can control is how do we what do
we do about it yeah
take an action or not take an action yeah and i think yeah for me this year i
just got caught in a
place where i wasn't everything else was too much and i wasn't able to focus on
that at all
and so now i'm like a little bit back to focusing on it and it's definitely
getting more man good
