oh so we went to reno the biggest little town in america and uh that was one of
the rowdiest
fucking crowds i performed in front of in a long time and it kind of surprised
me because the last
time i came to reno they weren't like that but what happened was is we pulled
in to reno which
i fucking love that city right we pulled in and we just see all these people in
the street they
had closed off the street we had to try to figure out how to get the bus around
and uh they had this
festival out there it was bruise blues and bbq they should have said bbqs you
know like you're
getting more than one barbecue just so it rhymes bruise blues and bbqs but it
was blue bruise
blues and bbq and i swear to god this show that was walking around out in the
sun the tattooed
fucking shit show of people walking around hammered you know parents who let
their
fucking in-laws watch the kids and they're down there sunburned boozing eating
barbecue
me and bartnick immediately were just like oh there's barbecue we gotta fucking
go
and we go down there and people were fucking shit-faced well on their way to
getting
shit-faced i saw some lady in the sun right sitting at this table with their
head down
like you know you know when you came in from outdoor recess and everybody was
all amped up
from the sugar and salt you'd put in your bodies during lunch and you came in
and the teacher be
like all right everybody put your heads down on the desk let's just take a
little nap here let's
fucking relax so you're not bouncing off the walls as i try to teach you some
phonics here that's what
she looked like and she was i mean it was like two in the afternoon so me and
bartnick are going like
all right let's get some barbecue took us forever to find out where it was and
then when we found it
it had this ridiculously long line and bartnick's looking at me going dude i
don't want to stand in
that line and i was like yeah that let's not stand but then it seemed to be
moving so we were like it
so we stood in the line and uh the barbecue was unbelievable one of the best briskets
i ever had
and i was sitting there going all right i've been eating right i've been doing
cardio every day
um let's just pick one meat all right either get the ribs the pulled pork or
the fucking brisket and
uh you know i was starving so you know how that goes you get up there and your
brain is telling you
you know just get the pulled pork or just get the ribs you know but the demon
the sugar salt demon
that's running through your veins goes get all three and who do you give into
you give into the
addiction so i go all right let me get let me get all three and some coleslaw
and one of those little
fucking jalapeno cornbread things so um we fucking you know i'm in front of
bartnick i get all my
shit and i get a lemonade and i see this table where there's two people already
sitting there but there's
an umbrella and some shade and you know i'm a redhead so i'm one degree away
from a fucking albino so i
beeline towards that and i sit down i said hey do you guys mind if we sit here
and this guy's like
you know that cost you eight bucks this crazy fucking laugh and he's missing
number eight
okay you got two teeth down front eight and nine going from right to left um he
was missing number
eight no i'm sorry number nine he was facing me sorry this is my dental office
days and i didn't give a
fuck i was just i rolled with dead jokes you know i was like all right man i'll
give it to you in a
check he goes no i'm kidding i'm kidding it's only six bucks fucking crazy
laugh missing a tooth and
at that point bartnick sits down and he's got that i'm gonna murder a biker
look on his face
and he just looks at me and he goes and they're like trying to joke with him
and he completely ignores
him and he looks at me and he goes there's a tent over there and i go oh oh
yeah and because now it's all
awkward because he's not interacting with these people who are hammered telling
the worst jokes
ever and i'm pretending like they're funny and joe goes there's a tent right
over there and i just go
oh oh you you want to go sit over there instead and he goes yeah and he stands
up so then i like a
little kid just go okay guys see you and i walked over there i start laughing i
go jesus christ and he
goes and he just goes bartnick does this thing where he just sort of puts his
hand up one of his hands up
he goes dude i want to enjoy my meal okay i don't want to sit there talk to
that what did he call them
methy or something like that with this missing tooth i just want to sit here
enjoy it and then
we sat down at this other table and it was actually great we actually where we
sat
there was like a breeze and all this thing um and the barbecue was delicious
and um i looked across the parking lot and there was this little coffee shop
little tiny coffee shop
looked like there was enough room in there for someone to stand and have a
coffee maker
little coffee shop and you know it was called it was called pony espresso
and my wife loves wordplay so immediately i took a picture of it and i called
her up
you know and i've been on the road for a little while so she gets a little grumpy
when i'm gone that
long um which is funny because when i get home then she gets grumpy when i'm
home for five days
i'm a really annoying person is what i'm trying to tell you so i called her up
and i told her that
joke and she lost it i don't know why she loves wordplay but it's my one of my
favorite things to
do is when i see some dumb wordplay business sign i call her up and every once
in a while something
gets her and she likes horses and she thinks ponies are cute and she just
thought it was the cutest
name ever and she laughs for like five minutes making me laugh as i'm sitting
there devouring
the barbecue it might have been the best moment of the tour so anyways you'd
think having done
stand-up for 23 years i would have done the math and realized that this sunburn
tattooed missing tooth
show that was already drinking four hours before my show was going to start
some of them some of those
animals were going to come into the show it never dawned on me and i went out
on stage it was one of
those things as a comic you come walking out on stage and you just feel the
vibe like all right why do i
feel like i'm in a saloon in the 1800s and i think i said one thing and
somebody yelled
from the to the left i don't know if that's stage left or stage right i never
know how the
fuck that works and just right out of the gate it's like jesus christ i didn't
get a fucking word out
so i riffed something about how they had this person had horrible parents and
that's why this
person was behaving this way and um and then that was basically the end of the
show i had engaged with them so
now it just became a totally interactive experience it was actually a really
fun show
um i do a couple of jokes and then i just have to have a conversation with a
drunk there was actually
a guy in the crowd who got kicked out and he wasn't with anybody else he was by
himself
like he was he was basically the best drinker of all of his friends is what i
figured out because
somebody just i'm in the middle of my joke and somebody just yelled security
security and they
immediately made a beeline over and i see them grabbing this guy to you know
escort him out and
usually at that point there's either at least one other person with them
screaming that it was
bullshit and there wasn't he walked out by himself and there was just one empty
chair and uh i think
that's when i finally put it together and i was like oh okay now i get it you
guys are the guys that i
saw drinking six hours ago out on the street and everybody laughed it was one
of those crowds that
would laugh at the jokes but they would really laugh when i would snap and tell
them how drunk and how
much they're not paying attention then they would really laugh um but hopefully
it was still a good
show there was a few people that was like oh i wish i could have saw in front
of a sober crowd so i kind
of felt bad about some of that shit but
