We're out back here with Tooties in a new edition.

Woo-wee!
Everything this guy touches gets a million.
It's crazy.
Man.
It's funny.
Every time we go to...
We posted a clip that we had with you about the family fight.
Every time I go and see it, that is at the top of my thing.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
I appreciate it.
I'm just working, man.
Not like you guys.
Four months.
Oh, yeah.
He's good.
I'm still...
I am still caught up.
I took six weeks off, and it was horrible the first two weeks.
It's bad.
It's bad.
We told you.
It's been bad.
You detox.
You're trying to detox.
Like, I'm waking up.
Like, you know how many times I'm out in packed clothes on a Thursday,
thinking I got a flight on Friday?
Like, nope.
Yeah.
You're home.
Mm-hmm.
With nothing to live for.
I don't know what.
You're just going every day's the same.
Here's how bad it is.
I'm still living out of my shaving kit.
Like, my mind is still there in, like, a weird way.
I'm looking at the same people in my house.
I'm like, no new people?
Like, this is terrible, man.
Yeah, it's been a rough...
Worst summer ever.
I'll tell you that right now.
I can't wait to get back out on the road.
Yeah, it is a perspective changer for sure.
And then when you come back, you're so rusty.
It's time and it's...
It's bad.
I look back at the first show when I came back.
I was like, oh, wow, look at this great open-miker.
This kid's got potential.
Yeah, he can be something if he keep doing it.
Yeah.
What's his second, third time?
This guy's pretty good.
We kept up with the city spots trying to get ready for the tour and all that
stuff.
Yeah, it's not that.
It's the days.
There's just not much to do during the days.
Oh, man.
It's...
That's how guys get on heroin.
That's his way of telling us he's doing heroin.
Yeah, it's just...
If I had a number, it might be a bad problem.
Can't find nobody.
I go around the high school.
I go around the store.
Nobody's got a connection.
You said if I had a number.
I have no numbers.
It's been rough.
I came back, and when I come off vacation, I start doing the clubs for a couple
weeks.
And I don't have a problem with the clubs.
It's the fans that want to tell me, oh, man, you're too big to be in the clubs.
I'm like, did you ever say that to D.L. or Bill Burr?
I see other people in clubs.
Yeah, working things out.
Yeah, what do you mean?
I'm like, they touring the clubs.
Like, how is it me?
I'm too big to be in the clubs.
I'm just now coming back.
I know that I'm going back to the theaters, but you can make pretty significant
money, and
that's the thing that a lot of these-
Significant money.
These comics are starting to do because they're featured on other people's
theater tours.
That's not your tour.
So for you to downplay the clubs, do you know how much money you can make?
You hit the club for seven shows.
Listen, we do clubs during the week.
We'll go Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, city, hit clubs.
Shout out to the Charlotte Comedy Zone.
Yeah, shout out to it.
Woo!
What?
That's a great-
That room is so good.
Big up to Charlotte Comedy.
That's my favorite.
I'm on the wall.
Yeah.
That's a check and a half.
Man.
It's a good check.
Wednesday night.
Chicken fingers ain't bad either.
It's a great check.
I've gotten a check from comedy.
Sure.
And this is the thing about-
Was there more seats in here?
Did you realize?
It's crazy.
Yeah, it's crazy.
It's one of these things that I think younger comics are taking on the cachet
of more seasoned
comics.
Mm-hmm.
And then they only want to play-
The theaters.
The improv.
They want to play theaters or they want to just play the improvs or the funny
bones.
What about the comedies?
They have 40-some rooms.
Get down there.
Hit me up.
Get down there.
What about Rick Bronson's How's the Comedy?
What about Hilarity's?
Hilarity's is great.
Zaney's in Nashville is awesome.
The best.
That's where we saw you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's where we saw you.
Like, what is wrong with these other clubs that people- the Looney Bin, go to
the cellar,
go to the comedy store.
It's other clubs other than the improv and the funny bones.
Sure.
Now, if you want to- if you're doing this for vanity, like, I tell people,
Netflix is kind
of like a vanity pool.
Sure, yeah.
Oh, I'm on Netflix.
Okay, well, you know there's other platforms that you can get a bag from if
that's what you're
seeking out to do.
Are you trying to build your fan base?
You put out a special- I want to say this-
That's only a bag to a few people, too.
The rest of it's- you're getting retail.
I want to say this.
I definitely want to say this.
Every hour set that people are putting out, we're going to have to stop titling
them specials.
Like, because there's nothing- this is a set.
This is an hour.
Ollie wants to smoke.
This is not a special.
It doesn't have any perspective to it.
No legs.
I can't learn nothing from it.
Yo, you ever- you ever shitted with your boots on?
I'm like, that's not a special.
I thought that was my one bit, all right?
Relax.
This fucking guy coming here, trashing me on my own goddamn show.
Ollie's starting beef with Howie Mandel.
I didn't say nobody's name.
I'm just saying what, man.
Just going after me.
Every- and then they send them- no, let me tell you why this is a problem with
me.
Because people know that I am producing people's specials.
You know, I did Marcus D. Wiley's special.
I'm finna drop some other people's specials that I have done, and some people
that I'm distributing.
But they send them to me.
And I understand the industry now.
Gotcha.
I'm just like this.
Okay.
Wow.
This is what you want me to do.
Okay.
Then I send a message.
Okay.
With notes.
I'm sending people notes on specials that they've already shot.
Jesus.
It's nothing.
You got to send this to me before you shoot it.
And then I have to say, and this is the hard part, and these are friends.
Man, the last thing I would want is notes from you.
Crucify me.
And these are people who have to say this very kind to.
Hey, this is not what I'm looking for at this time.
We're going to pass.
I got to pass on people.
Like, man, I'm like, okay.
And then there's people that I'm helping write, and I see that there is a
disconnect in their writing.
And you're asking me to help you, like, do one-liners.
Mm-hmm.
But it's rough because, okay, you did that one-liner.
Then where do we go from here?
A special has to have a.
A through line of something.
Yeah, it has to have some sort of through line.
It has to have a beginning, a middle, and an end.
You have to be able to wrap it up at the end.
It's like, yo, bruh, I don't even, and especially if you come to me and you don't
even have a title yet.
I have, you have no title.
So we are.
All right, dude.
Listen, everybody can't sit down in a chair and murder for an hour and a half.
Some guy's got to do fat jokes and airplane stuff.
I don't know what to tell you.
And ever share what your boots are.
Then we got a label.
It's fat jokes and airplanes.
It has to have a through line.
Fat jokes and airplane observations.
Yeah.
Me on the cover like this.
And then it's hard to tell people that they think that what they're saying is
new.
And then I send you five other people who have said that.
That's crazy.
And some of it was better than what you said.
And this guy has been doing it six weeks.
You've been here 15 years and you're doing something.
You've got to go live with Ollie, dude.
What do you do for the rest of the summer?
Writing material.
I'll work in the garden.
I'll do whatever.
Cut the grass, whatever.
I'm like, can you just, give me, okay, let's surround it.
If you want to do a bunch of one line, okay, let's surround it with 30 minutes
of something
about your actual life, about you.
Mm-hmm.
And that's how we can build it.
But I can't build something based upon everything in the news and everything
that somebody else
has said.
Sure.
Hey, man, okay, when you're over 40, you know you got to pee.
Okay.
We got it.
Got to pee?
What the fuck?
That was in my 30 minutes.
That's what it is.
We got it.
And then we, okay, somebody 20 and somebody 40, they pee is different.
We got it.
It's been safe.
Did you watch his special before you came in?
It's like, damn.
And like, okay.
Ali Sadiq's comedy camp.
Indian food comes out fast.
I got it.
I said it already.
I said it 15 years ago.
You're right.
That's a pretty good bit.
You could change that to Pakistani food.
Keep it going.
Ali Sadiq's comedy camp.
How fun would that be?
It would be.
Be like a major pain.
It would.
That would be awesome.
Did you find a candy in your pocket?
Yeah.
Just lighting people up, crock.
Yeah, women.
Women are just, hey, bruh, okay.
That would be an awesome movie.
Yeah.
That's so funny, dude.
It's a thing.
I think so, and I just don't understand, as a more seasoned comic, I'm still
trying to
get better.
Sure.
Like, every, man.
You don't understand why everybody else stinks.
That makes sense.
I think people.
We do.
We stink.
No, people are good.
Remember when he came to our show?
He's like, I'm going to hang out and back and watch.
I'm like, I'm about to pull the goddamn fire alarm.
What the fuck you talking about sitting in the back and watch?
That's funny.
We all just got COVID.
It's weird.
Holy good.
You want to put him up?
I go, he ain't going in front of me.
You fucking nuts.
Have him close out.
I was going to do the checks, turn the lights on, then bring you up.
I see how good he is now.
Still up there killing fuck.
I started like that.
I started in this spot, and this is where it's crazy, because I used to have
different
rooms.
