Welcome to another episode of your mom's house. I am here today joined by the winner of Netflix's own Funny AF. It's the great Ron Taylor, everybody. Yeah. Listen to that. Listen to that. Appreciate it. It's pretty crazy that I can say I was there. Yeah. I was there. And if you don't yet follow Ron, follow him on Instagram at comedianrontea, you can get all information for shows there. It was a, I have to tell you, before I get your take, I did an episode early on in the season where I did like the showcase in LA. You were the LA one? Yes. So in LA, I flew out, I went to the improv. It was like during the day and Kevin and I watched like, I don't know, like a dozen or so comedians. And it was fun. It was a good atmosphere and I was like, oh, this is cool. And you saw like some people had great sets, people had good sets, people were like, okay, kind of like what you expect. Yeah. And for whatever reason, I just expected kind of like the same sentiment, the same kind of energy and everything on the finale. I just, I didn't know what to expect. I was like, oh, it'll be like that. Right. So we go to this theater in downtown LA and I'm just like getting ready to kind of go to the same thing. And when we walked out as the guest judges, we weren't really judging, but Nikki and I walked out. First, I was like, oh, shit, the energy in here is pretty hot right now. Yeah. Which like, you don't always get it taping. Sometimes taping is fucking blow. And so I'm like, fuck, okay, this is cool. And then there's four finalists and I'm sitting there on the couch with her and like after every set, I'm like, oh my God, like these guys are destroying. It was fucking electric in there. Yeah, it was. And all the crowds, especially once it got to the theater shows. So we had the roasts in the theater, the topical in the theater, the semifinals in the finals. Yeah. And because we were still in production of the show, we didn't really see the warmup guy go out there and do it. So when we got out there, we kind of were just feeling like, God damn this warmup guy is amazing. I don't know what he did. I don't know if it was all him or if it was just like you said, the environment, the energy, but something was going on. Like, they really wanted to laugh and it was a bunch of them. It's theaters. Like, all of us at that point had played a theater before, but they didn't come for us. We just happened to be there. That's right. That's right. So it was kind of different when, you know, because now they're excited to see you guys. Right. Yeah. Right. And I said this, I think I said this to you later that night at the comedy store, but I don't remember because I was telling other people, but when I left there, I feel like whenever you see good stand up, no matter who it is, if you're a stand up, it makes you want to do stand up. Like you feel inspired. Yeah, I was to interviews afterwards. I saw that. Yeah. And I was like, I want to go do stand up. So I went to the store and did a spot because I was like, I felt so fired up watching you guys. I was like, I got to get on stage. Yeah, I did a spot too, but it was like, oh, I got to get to work now. Yeah. Just burnt 30 minutes of little time I got. And I got to, you know, either rebuild or replenish. So yeah, well, it's a good to have that mentality, you know, it's definitely good to have the mentality of like accepting that you, first of all, that you can, right? Like that some people go like, I'm done. Like I burned it. And you're like, it's not how it works. Yeah, you can, you can keep doing it, but we'll get all into it. I'm just going to play you an opening clip here and then we'll get into the show. Here's our opening clip of the show. Hey, get up, get up, get up. We got money to get. No, we got money to get. We got money to get. Hey, you better, you better wash it. Yeah, you're gonna fuck around and find out. Fuck you, motherfucker. Don't bring anyone loving to this. Welcome to your mom's house with Tom Segura. Welcome to your mom's house. It's kind of a long intro. Hey, that's all right, man. We hear a hip hop remix. We have a sick kid at the house. So Christina's not here today. Oh, he's got the hantavirus or whatever it's called. Jesus. Yeah, whatever. What's that? Well, I'm not getting that shit. I was like, you can stay around that. So I got it. So I got to tell you first of all, that video I feel for that guy. Oh, yeah, right? I have to say, as a fellow van dweller. Yeah, you are a van dweller. That was mean to be woken up. Oh, it's the worst. And you always think it's the police. Yeah. So to see somebody messing around saying we got money to get. If I had money to get, would I be in a fucking van? I know, I know. It's both upsetting and funny. It's funny to wake someone up and who is clearly napping and be like, we got money to get. But there's nothing worse than being woken up for no reason. If somebody just fucks with you to wake you up, it's one of the meanest things you can do. It's probably right there with disturbing while you're taking a shit because that's also a really fucked up thing to do. I dated a girl who did both of those. She would fuck with you? Yeah. She had no sense of privacy when it came to the bathroom. That sucks. She would come in and it's like, I could be doing anything in here. It's nowhere sacred. And she would wake me up. Not granted I get this, but this is almost worse because it's like, you could wait. She would wake me up and try to fuck. She'd try to suck my dick awake. Which is like, it's fine. But the only thing better than a blowjob is sleep. Sleep's amazing. Like fucking just hold your horny horses. I would say you're an evolved man. A lot of people would contest that. Would it be like, she's like, well, I'm up. So let's do this. Is that how it would be? That's how it would be expressed. But if I'm being real with you, I think it's, fuck him. I'm going to wake him up and have it be in a way that he can't be mad at me. Oh, right, right. Yeah. What? I just wanted to suck it. You could have waited. How early would she be doing this to you? You know, when you wake up before you're ready to wake up, you feel like you could sleep another six hours. Yeah. It might only be 30 minutes in real life. Yeah. But it's just like an hour. Yeah. You know, if you see I'm dead sleep. Yeah, dead. And then like wake up. I want to do this. If you're dead if I rolled over. Yeah. Bitch, I'm dead. Yeah. And you're fucking with stuff. And then when I'm wide awake and I grab you, my head hurts. I was asleep. Yeah. Can you stop me? See, this goes back to my review after seeing you that you are, you have the soul of an older man. Because a young man would be like, dick sucks all day. But an older guy goes, you know what, sleep first. I want to sleep first. We need that. Yeah. If I don't sleep at this point, especially in my life, all the drinking and drugs I've done, if I don't sleep, I won't be able to get it up anyway. Right. I need to recharge my body. Give me a break, please. That makes a lot of sense. I like sleep more than anything. Sleep over everything, yeah. I mean, sleep over food, sleep. Yeah. Sleep is, it's the best. There's nothing greater. And also it fucks, it dictates the day. Yeah. The whole day is dictated by sleep. Your mood, your energy, everything. Your mental clarity. Do you have, are you just like a crash guy? Or do you have like a sleep routine? Like, do you prepare yourself for sleep? At this point in life, I'm trying to, you know, but the only thing I could do is like, try to just, just regiment the amount of sleep. That's kind of the only thing I can control at this point. You know, there's times where I'll have a spot at the mothership at like 1150. Yeah. So I can't have a bedtime of 10 o'clock if I'm still trying to get up. So it's like, hopefully I don't have anything to do in the morning. And then I can like sleep at least at this point. I really want seven, but if I get six, I'm good. That's my cutoff point too. Everyone's different. Six to me is, I can still have a productive day. Yeah. Less than six, I feel like absolute shit. And if I can get seven or eight, it's golden. Yeah, man. It's, it's definitely needed. Like I said, I've kind of beat my body up. So it's going to take some time. Were you like a big partier? No, but drinker. Yes. Yeah. Drinker. What was your drink of choice? Whatever's free. Free stuff. I mean, throughout my drinking career, like, if I started drinking at 21, about when I worked at the store, when I became a door guy, so about 24 to about 20, I'll give it, I'll give it 30. Yeah, I'll give it 30. I was, I was going, I was going hard, but I didn't know I was going hard. Right. You know, it was like, I mean, I guess I kind of knew, but I didn't know that your body would react like that. Yeah. You know, it's funny when they say like addiction. I'm thinking like, oh, that just means you can't stop. No, it means if you stop, your body stops working. Yeah. I can stop doing anything, but when you're fucking shaking or whatever the fuck, or you can't wake up. So you were drinking like that? Yeah. Well, I mean, I did a lot of stuff like that's a whole other story. Like 2020, you know, well, 2020 fucked up a lot of people. We had fun, but yeah, you know, yeah, I've got to sleep. Yeah, sleep, sleep for sure. Number one. Let me tell you about Lucy for a second. I've been using nicotine pouches for a while, but what got me to go all in on Lucy is the breakers.

And you started in Detroit, right? Where you're from? Yeah, correct. How did when how were you when you first got up? 18. So how long you've been doing Sam now? 16. Okay, so that makes sense to me why you're so polished. Well, I appreciate it. Yeah. You also, I couldn't tell if you were like 19 or 38. But it's one of those things where like, were you also because I felt this way from the couch watching you guys. The finalists were Usama, you, Caitlin, and, and, Rich Thomas. Rich. Rich Thomas. Yep. I was fucking, honestly, man, like I've said it, but like I was blown away. Were you like impressed with how good people were? I don't know about impressed because these are my peers. Yeah. So I can't I can't personally knew like what everybody could do. Yeah. I guess I was impressed with all of us, myself included, yeah, at how we especially come the finals and how we all recognize like the moment. Yeah. And like it was in a way it was almost easier than some of the other stuff. I just knew it was it. Yeah. When loser draw, this is it. I'm going balls to the walls. There's nothing left for me to hold on to, which strategy of winning the competition. And that's the whole another conversation we can have. But like it's kind of when you've got, you know, I don't want to say limited material, but you when you perform in an hour, as you know, like there's some jokes that work because they're here. Yes. Or at least they work really well because they hear once you start isolating things from a constructed hour. It's very different. It's different. So how do you plan picking? Did you plan when you're going into this and as you're progressing, save this if I get that far? Like a little bit, right? So quick backstory on that long story short, I did a competition years ago, like in Kentucky or somewhere like that. And it kind of was like a place system into the finals. So, you know, the first three get, get, you know, moved to the next one. And I was getting first place, first place, first place, the last one, first place winner wins it. But all the people who were coming in third and second were saving material for the finals. And then I lost and people were like, what the hell? This guy was great, but it had nothing to do with the last ones. It was about this one. So I kind of learned from that. I ain't gonna call it a mistake, but from that situation going into this competition, there were some things where I was like, I think I can get away with not doing this one yet. But I can't say like, oh, yeah, I know I'm gonna make it. Then I'm gonna do this one. But you had the thought at least of like, you got to have something super put together solid to perform later on. Right. Either that or what I kind of did both. Whatever I do, I'm going to have to beef up like it's a closer. Yeah. Like, you know, sometimes, I guess when you're trying to get, I heard Louis CK say this, when he's trying to beef up jokes, like, he'll, I forget where he put it, but he put it at the front. He'll put it at the front. I heard that too. Right. So I kind of was like, doing these jokes that sometimes would go in the middle of my actual act as if they were my big closer. So I kind of beefed them up and, you know, you turn it on a little more, you just turn it kind of turn up the volume. So between that and like saving some in a way, that's what ended up happening. But more than all of that, the biggest thing that happened to me in this competition that I think that helps me win other than support and, you know, me working hard and all that stuff. The sets were five minutes. So what you saw in LA was five minutes. And then in LA, we did the callbacks. That was five minutes. That second five minutes in LA, I just didn't, I'm not used to doing five minute sets. Right. So I had planned three jokes. I only got to two. I couldn't get to the closer of that five minute set. Had I known I wouldn't get to the closer, I wouldn't have picked these first two jokes. I did it, but I got through anyway. Now I still got that closing joke. Then it happened again. Oh, I'm trying to get to this joke. I don't have time and running out of time. I ended up still getting through anyway. I got these two closing jokes that I actually meant to do earlier in the competition. And that's what I ended up closing with, like the finals and semi-finals. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Just poor time management. Well, I noticed this regularly when I'm on tour. So when I'm on tour, I'm doing an hour a night, right? You're doing an hour, hour, like you just get like into this thing of like, I'm doing an hour five, six times a week. Right. And then you come back home and you're like, I'm going to go do a set. And then you start to go, wait, how do I do a 15 minute set? Yeah. Like your brain kind of goes like, do you try to do these chunks? And what I found was that it was a lot of times it felt more challenging than going into like the hour. You just go, first of all, you can breathe, you can set the table and you can just like get into your thing. But the shorter time makes you really start to do the math of like, how will I start the set? How do I build it? How do I close it? And within this, these parameters. Yeah. And I guess it really gave me an appreciation for the start of a comedy career, my comedy career, a comedy career, because you start doing small amount of times and the small amount of times are the more are, you know, the important stuff. Yeah, you get three minutes at the store. Yeah, you go to open mic, you get five minutes. Like you said, you're on the road, you're doing an hour. And I didn't even realize that sometimes I'm like, I'm doing a five minute setup. You know, it'll pay off. But it's like, I forgot, oh, like, you can make things funnier faster if need be. Like it's almost like a skill that I just stopped working at because I'm trying to work at the skill of doing an hour. Dude, I just did this, I did an interview in an LA during Netflix as a joke. And they asked me like, what have you, like what is one of the things you've learned from doing specials? And I was like, well, the thing, one of the things that stands out aside from like the, you know, the writing performing thing, I go is I'm better at editing, right? Because editing is essentially what you're talking about. And not just like on stage, even in the edit, when you sit in the bay, and you watch a special, when you're a younger guy, anything that gets a laugh period, you're like, yeah, fucking leave it in, right? You gotta laugh. And what I've, what I noticed was that I developed a skill over time to watch the, the, the first cut of a special, this obviously the longest version and go like, yeah, that got a big laugh. But it doesn't, it doesn't tell you anything. It's not, it's kind of like, it's not the best joke, like just cut it. And sometimes like the editor will be like, cut that? I'm like, yeah, cut it. It's not, it's not helping this hour set. Let's make it as tight as possible in the edit. So every special I've done actually gets shorter. Huh, interesting. Obviously, I have not had that situation. I haven't done a bunch of hours to even think about that. But that's, that's, that's pretty interesting. Well, I also, I also thought that like, I think about that in the special, the other thing that I realized in live shows was there's this thing amongst comedians of like, almost like a sense of pride and, and, and like bragging sometimes of like, how much time you can do, right? So it's like, I did 70, I did eight, I did an hour and a half. And this is what I, I've discovered about live headlining in, in big rooms. You can, if you have an hour and a half, you can do it and, and perform it. The difference is, if you cut it down to the tightest 60, like the tight, like it's a tight 60, when you say good night, a, they'll pop out of their seat, like it's a boom. And they'll leave going like, fuck, that was awesome. I wish that was longer. When you see an hour and a half, and I've, I've been in the audience for that as well as on stage for that. When you say good night, they go like this, they stand up and they don't go, God, I wish there was more. They're like, God, damn, we got to get to the fucking car. That's funny. And I just feel like it's something that I've noticed over time that there's a reason that like is called an, like an hour should be, if you can get it there, the polished, tightest version of that set. Anything over, I mean, you know, obviously you can do 62, 65. But once you start getting into like 75, 80, 90, I think it's just gratuitous, masturbatory. Like, yeah. And there's definitely some of that. And I know, especially in, you know, black comics, we, you know, because I remember hearing that Chris Rock would do two hours. Really? Yeah. Well, Dave would famously do like six, sometimes. I've been there for that. I've never seen Chris Rock do two hours. And I might even have that wrong. But I remember hearing that. And it's like, you know, it's, I don't know if it's like, hey, look how long I can captivate these people's attention or what. Maybe. And I should probably say like, look, those guys can do whatever the fuck they want. I'm talking about the rest of mortal people. Like, I feel like you can just tell if you're like dialed in, you're paying attention, that people want can pay attention and laugh and have a good time for about that amount of time. And they start getting antsy and looking at their phones and like kind of wondering when this is wrapping up. If you start going well over that. Yeah, I've found that like when, and again, I think this was for Strock of Hertzatus, like there's a difference between like a special and a collection of jokes. And that's what I've been trying to work on like for the last 10 years at this point. It's like, if I just do every joke that I've ever wrote that I remember, and that works, I could probably do like two and a half hours. Right. And I'd still be forgetting some stuff. Yeah. And if they're not, you know, if they care at all, they'll probably still laugh even at, you know, two hours, 30 minutes. But that's not special. Yeah. Yeah. That's not there's no cohesive story. There's no points. Like you say, there's like, okay, that was fine. Or maybe even that was good. And then they're ready to go. But trying to make an hour that like almost has an arc, has a story at the end, like you said at the end, like, oh, man, I wish I had more or like, oh, that's what you're I see it now. Yeah. That is what I understand to be a special and trying to craft that. I don't know. I don't want to say I haven't done it, because I don't want to crap on anything I've put out before. But I look forward to mastering it. Oh, yeah. And you will. You have the fucking goods, man. You're gonna you're gonna kill this special for sure. Yeah, I appreciate it.

Okay, so the first place I technically did stand up, I went to Wayne State for theater arts. I should have went for engineering or something. That's a whole other story. I went there for theater arts. I think did one semester, the next semester, I think I forgot to enroll or something stupid, but there was a comedian named Mike Green who came to our school. Now, I was in college for theater arts because I wanted to be a comedian and I heard Dave Chappelle say in a James Lipton interview or something like, if you want to be a comedian, you got to go to school for theater arts, whatever. So that's what I did. Wow. So now I'm just in school learning about plays and the Stanislavsky method and all this stuff, but I'm just trying to tell jokes. I'm now technically out of school, but I'm hanging around the campus. This guy, Mike Green, comes to the school. He's doing a show. I got friends and the audience and they're laughing about something or whatever. Looking back on it, now I know they were heckling, but like the comedian, Mike Green, who's probably just collecting a check, who's a great guy, but he's like, whatever. Hey, what are you kids laughing at? My friends are like, he's got a joke. He wants to tell you, pointing at me. That wasn't true. I don't know why they said that. And he said, hey, you think you're funny? You think you can tell a joke? I didn't say nothing. He said, you guys want to see him tell a joke? They're like, yeah. And that went up on stage. So that was my first time getting on stage. Seriously? Yeah, which is just, it's a real compliment. But you had nothing planned. No. And did your, so your friends knew you had this comedy aspirate? Like that's why they did that? Correct. Correct. So what'd you do when you got on stage? I had just told stories that I had told people before that kind of got me into, that's how people even knew I was funny from just talking stuff. I think I had made something. Well, I had embellished something about like going out on a date and not being able to get it up, pissing in a condom, jerking off on the toilet, shitting and sneezing, just fucking potty. You said all that? Yeah. And wait, how did it go? I don't know. You blacked out? It's completely blacked out. I don't know if they laugh. I don't know if there were people there. Do you remember how Mike responded to you at all? Vaguely. I think he just shook my hand and then I came back. Wow. Yeah. And then did you befriend him from this? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what you went and talked to him after the show? Yeah. I think so. And he told me some different places. And I think it was him that told me about Joey's Comedy Club. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So back then, smart phones weren't as prevalent as they are now, but I had this GPS app and I just put in the word comedy and GPS and everything that came up, I just called or went to. So I went to a bunch of stores that just sold comic books and stuff like that. I had called people, there were people who put their business information in the GPS. So it went directly to comedians. I'm like, hey, are you guys at comedy clubs? They said, no, I'm a comedian. Are you trying to book me? I said, fucking no. Wow. So yeah, I went to Joey's and I took a comedy class. Yeah. You know, I read all the books in the library about comedy. So those are the first places I went up at Joey's Comedy Club, like Mark Ridley's. Then I made a white comedian named Jeff Horst, who showed me the black rooms in Detroit. He showed you? Yeah. I didn't even know they existed. Yeah. I knew black comedy existed. I was just like, I guess black people don't do comedy in Detroit because the black comedy rooms weren't clubs. They were bars. Yeah. I'm 18. I haven't been in any of these bars. How would I even know? Sure. Then I go to Starters with Tony Roney and start hanging out around Mike Bonner, you know, Def Jam guys, Coma Pew guys. And then now I'm doing bakers with Kool-Aid. He was a Detroit legend. God rest his soul. And I'm just now I'm getting now I'm doing both. But that's what kept me comfortable in both worlds that technically I started in mainstream clubs. Yeah. Naturally, you know, I can do black rooms. That's kind of what I am. Yeah. And I think that's helped me progress throughout my career outside of, you know, unlike some of my good friends and peers, you know, it's a comfortability level. It's not comfortable in both rooms. Yeah. Yeah. I feel home in both. It's like, oh, hey, my cousin. Oh, hey, the place I started. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that yeah, that for sure gets you way further than somebody because what the thing that happens to most comedians I feel like especially early on is they go like, okay, this I'm only comfortable here. I'll perform here. And then they hear about this is a gay show. This is a black show. And they're like, ah, it's not for me. I want to go over here. I hate that. Yeah, I know. I hate that. And I'm especially now because of this competition. One of the craziest things about winning is people do change up, but they change up in such interesting ways. No one's asked me for anything, you know, what are you to open up for my special, you know, like, it's not like there was a lottery or prize money, but people now people I've known forever are now acting as if the information I have is more valid. So now I asked me questions about comedy or whatever it's like, you didn't care yesterday. Yeah. The information is not different at all. Right. I have the same opinions. But I would I have people come up to me and I have been over the last couple days over the last week, asking me like, Hey, well, how can I get up? How can I get better? I'm like, you don't you don't do the store. Yeah, you hate the store. Yeah, you need to crack that nut. Like that's your issue. You hate chocolate Sundays. Go do that. Like, Oh, well, they don't get my stuff. That's the point. Once they get it. Once you make them get it, then you can take that and take it elsewhere. Like there should not be a place in comedy that you cannot make those people laugh. Well, now they just feel like you're credible, you know, they're like, before you're just another guy. And now they're like, well, he's he's won this thing. So he's credible now, which I mean, I guess. Yeah, that's how people think, you know, yeah, just just get up. Like you can have your favorite places. Yeah, like I've got rooms that I like over other ones. Yeah. But if somebody said, Hey, go make them laugh. Yeah, I can do it. I've practiced it. Yeah. Well, that's why you're that's why you're good, man. I'll take it. Yeah. I mean, that's that's definitely I gotta say also the thing that so I'm I'm on that couch. I'm watching each of you guys, right? And every set I'm like, this is fucking fantastic. And then we're sitting there and they get to the voting. And and man, Kevin Milks. That moment, like a real showman. Yeah. Where it's like, and the tension, I found myself going like, read the fucking envelope, man. Like he was really building it up to he eliminated two and then it was you two. And then he was like, now, let's see. But first, yeah, and like, what are you doing? And but it really worked. We're like, the tension built so much in that moment when you hear your name called, are you like, Oh my God, like is it heart racing? I don't know if it was heart racing. All right, I'll tell you the truth here. I figured it was possible during the semifinals to what to win to win. Okay, it was it was feasible. What made you think that so throughout the entire competition, there were fan favorites. If you're just watching it as a show, those favorites were Osama and not Olivia. Well, she was another one, but Caitlin, right? Both of those people got pushed through in some part immediately. And the audience is watching this as pre recorded. So you already know that these are the favorites because they're technique. I mean, they're Kevin's favorites. He said, Hey, there's no deliberating this next round, you're going through it happened with Osama twice. I'm not sure how many times I happened with Caitlin, but they also were killing. Yeah, Osama's getting stand innovations down there. Every set Caitlin is getting stand innovations down there every set and everybody else is killing on top of that. Yeah. Once we get to the semifinals and they're gonna do the first runoff voting or whatever they call that style of voting. I know that it's going to be because they when they first split us, it was black versus white. That's inside. They had us draw numbers and it just happened to be like me, Reg, Osama versus the three white people. So they had to good. Yeah, I'm like, no, keep it that way. If that was random, they had to switch it around and Caitlin was in one group and Osama was in another group from both group. One person gets moved on immediately, then you got four people left and two more go forward from that four. In my mind, Osama and Caitlin are going, duh. Yeah. Like they already killed it and they're the fan favorites. I just got to try to get in to be one of the other two out of the four left. So a lot of explaining to say when they called my name during the semifinals instead of Caitlin, that's when I knew like, oh, this, this might have something to do with these sets right now. Nothing else matters. Right. So if I have the best set, anybody can have the best set, you know, that night, if, you know, it's anybody's game, if I can have the best set during the finals, I could win. So when they call both of us up, I'm like, I know it's possible, but Osama's got people chanting for him. Chanting. Like before he went up. Yes. After he went up. Oh, yeah. And during the voting, they're chanting. Yeah. The only name I hear is Osama. Why would I think they're going to say Ron? I already made it this far. This is crazy. I should have been eliminated after I forgot my jokes. Yeah. So when they said, when they said Ron, I hadn't, I hadn't really thought about winning at that point. Right. I knew it was possible, but it never entered my brain. What to think? I would have like prepared some cool moment or something. I was just like, what the fuck is going on? One of the things that also stood out to me about, especially watching on that finale was I realized, oh, I'd never seen like at least a big type of competition where it wasn't like clean comedy. And yeah, we're talking about that. That was like such a cool thing. I was like, oh, that's part of why I'm enjoying this so much is that they're just doing the sets they would. This is like club comedy. Yeah. Afterwards, there's a lot of things that we all realize afterwards. Like, oh yeah, I don't think there's ever been voting immediately from viewers. Yeah. I've never seen a competition where people were saying the stuff we're saying. I did a dick joke. Extensively, just yelling about my dick in a competition while wearing a suit dressed like Richard Pryor. I've never seen this before. No. So it was intense. Was my heart racing? No, not when they called my name, but as it continued, Kevin Hart's like, what the fuck? He's running around. I get the comics from LA. They're standing up pointing. I'm seeing people crying. I hear Kevin's voice start to wiggling. I didn't even really know there was like rafters. They're all standing up. I'm like, now it's like building up. I'm like, yo, what is fucking cool? I didn't know this was this big. What is going on? Yeah. Yeah. Congratulations, man. Really appreciate it. It's really, it was really cool to be there and watch that. And it's fun. Do you have a plan now? Like, is there a plan for how you want to approach, you know, I mean, obviously it involves touring, but do you have it like a strategic plan for how do you want to do it? You know, I've had representation for about 10 years now. And you know how that is. They make money from, with, off you. I've been, I've been less than helpful at different points throughout the years, right? Yeah. But now it's like, like, you know, I feel like today with management or even agency versus, I don't know, when Michael Jackson was coming up or Elvis, you know, managers had a different job. Maybe they created something or whatever. But now it's like, hey, just make content, get famous and we'll manage that. Which is like, well, I mean, then it's just hard to do, right? So I've never really managed, I mean, I've never really created a bunch of content and stuff like that. So there was nothing for them to manage. Now there is something for them to manage. Like, there's dates, like there's a special to do, like, so the plan of attack is being created. Whereas before, I was just doing stand up. Yeah. Right. So like, I've got what I want to do. I got my desires and stuff. Well, your focus should stay that way. You shouldn't be, I mean, my opinion, don't become a content creator guy. You're so good at stand up. Keep focus on that. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I appreciate it. And I don't want to be that, you know, wagging my finger and whatnot, but the space to create content leisurely is what I would like to do. And if I were to, you know, kind of ramp up the production of leisurely creating content, great. But creating content like a crackhead, like I'd never wanted to do. No. And you know what's funny about production content? I find that like, I've discovered sometimes you can put like real production into something. And you're surprised that like online, I'm saying, people don't always respond to it as much as like just holding your phone and like, yeah, saying some shit about like, whatever you had for breakfast. As long as you make it like, you know, deliberate, engaging and funny and like yourself, sometimes like just talking to the phone is what people like, you'll see the engagement be like 20 times higher. Yeah, I've seen that somewhat this week, you know, because I've kind of like, when we were trying to win the competition, there was kind of a campaigning. You know, you had to say, Hey guys, vote for me. Yeah. Even my last day in LA doing the festival, I had to like, announce some upcoming tour dates. And like that video alone, like kind of went crazy as opposed to me doing some funny bit and editing and stuff like that. So. Well, look, here's some content. This guy did. This is lo-fi, but it's cool. Right. If you could do something like this, and he can just sit like that. This, I can't imagine well. Please don't tell me he hurts himself. I think he's just showing off. I'm scared for this. Just tell me, he's gonna hurt himself. I don't think so. Okay. But he's balancing with a like a tree in his asshole. Yeah. Jesus. I mean, that takes tremendous core strength. Yeah, but what are you, why are you practicing that? I mean, he's clearly practiced a lot. What is to be gained from that, man? And this will have a million views. Absolutely. Can you imagine you announcing your dates like that? Yeah. I mean, Druski, he could do something like that. Oh yeah. Create that video. God, those keep getting better. Yeah. That is, that's a skill. Yeah. And I think, and tell me what you think, I think there's a, because at this point now he's doing production. Right? Yes. Now that it's evolved. Yes. Before it was just doing something, whether it was funny or not. Yeah. But I think there's a skill, or maybe it's just a lack of fear in being able to just make something. Just have it exist. I guess for me, crafting jokes, I feel weird like just making something. I get what you're saying. 100%. It's like, I want to at least have it decent enough to where I'm like, this is good. Not simply this exists, but it's like this volume like approach to things that I've never wanted to do. Now Druski is in the place where it seems like it's all quality and, you know, volume. Yeah. But to go past that moment or that time frame of where you're just throwing shit out. I don't want that to exist. But see, if I were analyzing what you're talking about and say it in regard to Druski, one thing that you notice, that I've noticed, is that he's not just daily going, here's some shit, here's some shit, here's some shit. Right. These releases are quality. He's put time into whatever the bit that he's going to do, the actual execution, and then the edit itself. Everything does have real thoughtfulness. And then when it comes out, it's like an event to watch these things. So he's not, but he's not just overdoing it. Now, right. He's not. Right. And that's the thing. It's like, he took the time to just throw shit at the wall. Yeah. Because it began to gain a following. It would be like, you know, Black Girl's drink, coffee like this, doesn't matter how much thought it was beyond that surface level. And I think there's a skill in being able to just put stuff up and just a fearlessness. A fearlessness. Yeah. And it's hard to do that for me, man. I look at a video like, this isn't perfect. Oh, I see. Yeah. Yeah. Why would I even put this out when I should be thinking about the next one? You probably should. Yeah. But you have to, there's a balance, what you're saying. You should maintain some of your standards, right? Where you go, yeah, I'm not just going to put out any bullshit that I think of or whatever, but you can't get to the point of like, it's not perfect. So therefore, nothing goes out. It's a balance. Yeah. Yeah. But what he's done is incredible now. I mean, he's like a studio at this point. I know. And I always think about too, that like, you know, like end game, like people are seeing most of the end game. And I'm like, I feel like what he's doing is an end game. Like I don't, like there's nobody doing it better than him at what he's doing. This last one I saw when he was talking about British actors. Yeah. I was like, this is, do a movie. It's so funny. Like, where's, just do a movie, brother. It's so funny. I know, you know what he kind of like, you even saying it now, do a movie, I'm like, oh, this is kind of the closest thing we've had to Sasha with like Borat and Ali G in years. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's really fucking funny, that man. Yeah. I'm not big into politics for reasons, but when he did that Eric, just seeing people that mad, man. It was so great. It was so great to see people so mad. Yeah. What a, what a, what a person. I don't want to call, I don't want to call it unattractive, but Jesus man. That bit was great, man. He's killing it, dude. Is that offensive to white people? Is that considered white people? Well, a lot of people that are like very far right, I think postured as if it were offensive. I think if you took, if you go like the majority of white people, there's no way they were like offended by it. Is white face a thing to you? No. No. You know what I think, and I don't want to get cancer by the black community for this take, I think black face is black face. White people playing black people is not black face. Right. Like what Robert Downey Jr. did is not black face, obviously, and people like it. Well, you're getting into like the nuances of like the term. I am. Yeah. And like what it means. Yeah. But right. So this or anybody else, shit, he's got like Ron Taylor here. Crazy. Or even if, what was the Paul brother? Was it Logan or Jake Paul that said they were gonna dress up like Drusky? Uh-huh. One of the Paul brothers. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If they put on makeup to make themselves look like Drusky, yeah, that is not black face to me. It's, it's different because like to understand, I think you have to understand what black face, the origins of it were and what, that it's part of the way that black face evolved was doing it in this kind of careless, ridiculous manner. Like one of the things you're seeing with Robert Downey Jr. here is that this isn't like just thrown together, like where they would literally take like shoe polish and be like, I'm black. It's black face. Right. And that's the only distinction that I make. Now, if somebody did what Dave Chappelle did, like in the last season of Chappelle show, when he was like, he was a white guy now. Yeah. No, no, he was, it was like the one that he, the season where he wasn't doing, it was just Charlie and yeah, yeah, there was an episode where he was playing a pixie in black face. That shit is black face. Now, if you did that, if Jake Paul did that, that I could imagine how one would get offensive or get offended. But if somebody made themselves to truly look like a black person like he does there. Yeah. Yeah. Then it's like, even if they do that, and they say something racist, okay, sure, you're a racist. But to me, you didn't do black face. And the only reason I make that distinction is because if that's black face, what do you call the shoe polish and white lips? Right. That is something that I, so essentially you're saying like, I think part of what you're saying is that if the effort is made to make it like believable, like if it's high level makeup, and there's an attempt to actually look like a black person, like in this image here, right? Like he's, this isn't like shoe polish and white lips, like you're saying, this is like a high level makeup artist doing something. I'm saying, I'm going a little deeper than that. I'm saying this, we can call it whatever. And you can still be offended. Beat them up. I don't care. But this is black face. Right. If you want to be offended, both fine. That's black face. This is some difference. Do you remember when we had Ari and he was talking about in Estonia? Can you pull that up? We're like, in, he said like in their singing competition shows or like whatever, their variety shows, they'll just have someone be like, I'm James Brown and like they'll do that and he'll perform like, I don't know if you could see that guy. Can you make that bigger? Like that. Jesus, that's horrible. Yeah. He's like, I'm James Brown. I mean, yeah, now. See, but see like that's so poorly. It's poorly done. Right. He's trying to be a black person. Maybe we should call that brown face. Brown face. You know, that's horrible. But no, that's not black face to me. That's not black face to you because what? It's not because it's not black. I got it. Like black face was the red lips, white gloves, menstrual shows, menstrual. That's black face. Yes. You do that. We got a problem. You do this. Perhaps you're being insensitive. Maybe you're making fun of black people. Maybe you are a racist. Yeah. But that menstrual show shit is different is wild. There are toys and figurines from that time of black face. Yes. Bamboos of the movie by Spike Lee. That shit was black face. Yeah. What Drake did. That was black face. That is just, that's just something that that's just Italian. Yeah. That's just what it is. Yeah. It's a guy from Sicily, man. What are you doing? That's crazy though. That's crazy. He's like, get on up. With that makeup on, it's insane. It's fucking insane. Yeah, that's horrible. How much would it take to get you in black face? In real black face? I mean, enough where I didn't have to ever work again. A pretty substantial amount. Yeah. Enough where I could hide and everything and have a security detail. It'd be a lot. It'd be a lot, man. But I feel like doing what Robert Downey did, like in my opinion, like I'm not, I'm not black. So I can, but I go like, oh, that's, that's doing like fully committing to a character. Yeah. I didn't, I never interpreted it as like he's doing. I know it's like, even in the movie, they're like, what are you doing? You know, he's like, I'm in the character right now. Have you ever seen like the deleted scenes of him in that character? Yeah. It's, it's so skillful, so masterful that like, I mean, obviously there's people who wouldn't even know that's not a black dude. Yeah. Yeah. Like so, and still he could be a dirty fucking racist fall. I know, but that by itself, I don't think Robert Downey is, but that by itself is like, that's just, it's just imitation. He just happens to be good. He's happy to be good at it. Yeah. I mean, that's the whole thing about when you do any, whether it's black, Asian, Latin, if you're not one of these things and you do them, you do the voice or you're, you're doing an impression, the more skillful you are at it where like that group goes, damn, that's good. The less it's perceived as you being offensive and the more it's viewed as being skilled and accurate, the more accurate you are, the more it's celebrated. You know what? I think we can relate this to like trans people. The more you pass, trans women are women. Yeah. Blackface people, if they pass enough, you know what? Fuck it, you're black. Yeah. Now you're, blackface people are blackface, trans women are women. There it is. I'm very progressive now. There you are. You're super progressive. You want to see, we did a game where we recorded, it's called Tom or Black and I play an audio clip and then you guess if it's me or a black person. Okay. You want to play? Yeah. Yeah. All right. I don't see how I would not immediately know that if it's you or a black person. But that's the right mentality. Okay. Okay. You keep score. Okay. Here we go. All right. I'll play it as many times as you want, by the way. Okay. Okay. Play it again. You know I just remember one of your albums, the one where you were wearing braids and I think just like Michael Jackson. Oh, well, that's like two different albums. There's White Girls with Cornrows and there's Thrilled. Yeah. Okay. I forgot you can do a very good black guy. I forgot. Why do you think we came up with this game? Okay. Play it again. One more time. So it's either Tom or a black person. All right. One more time. I'm going to go Tom. Okay. I left a wallet there. No, that's Tom. That's Tom. Say it again. That's Tom. That's Cricket right there. That's Tom. You writing that down? Okay. Crying came through. Play it again. Crying came through. That's gotta be a black guy. It's going on here. Play it again. It's going on here. I hope that's not Tom, but I'm going to say, I'm going to say a black guy. I hope that's not you. We're going to ride the thing. Play it again. We're going to ride the thing. I think that's a black guy. That's the only Richard Pryor. Tom up coming up the top row. Play it again. Tom up coming up the top row. There's a lot of bass. That's gotta be a black guy. All right. You did okay. Okay. I'll tell you, I was scared for a minute, Josh. Yeah. Yeah. So you got. Hey, yo. So that is Tom. That's me. That's you. Okay. I left a wallet there. That's me. Okay. That's you. That's me. That's Cricket right there. That's you. That's me. Crying came through. You said black guy. Yeah. That's me. Oh. Yeah. It's going on here. That's a black guy. Is it? Who's that? Right? Yeah. I think so. Yeah. That's just a guy from a video. Okay. We're going to ride the thing. You said black guy. Right. That's me. Wow. And then. That's me. What the fuck? Yeah. So you did okay. Wow. How many did he get right? Like five. Five. Okay. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Yeah. Five out of eight. You know what? I don't know if you've done this already or not, but you should do like some voiceover work and play some black characters. Man, that would be a dream come true. Yeah. One time we were, but you know, that's like very looked down upon. Is it? Oh yeah, because what happened. Wow. What the general feeling from like industry is when you do something like that, for any, not just for a black, if you're, if you go like, I want to, especially when it's a different race, they go, you should, that role should go to somebody of this group and you're, you're taking the job that could go to, let's say, if you're like, I'm going to do an Asian woman. I'm going to do a Latin guy. I'm going to do a black guy. They're like, yeah, or you could just hire somebody who could actually, who is that to do that job? I heard that. And yeah, I get that. But if the creation of the joke comes from you, comes from the fact that this person is doing this job. So then this is a insert person job. This character is voiced by a white person. His black character is voiced by a white person. That's the joke. That's why this exists. Yeah. Because what is that American dad? I think Chris is the character's name. And he's be singing all this R and B. And it's a white dude who like, be singing R Kelly. Like, I don't want that to be a black dude. It's less funny. It's funny because it's a white dude singing like a black guy. Yeah, exactly. No, I mean, I'm not opposed to it. I always thought it'd be fun to do. Hey, man, I'll support you. Thanks, man. I like to do it. Although I have to be careful about that. You know, I, I just got some notoriety. And now there's a lot of my black friends and family and colleagues and coworkers and comedians who are looking at me like, so you, you download Tony Hinchcliffe? Oh, man. Yeah. I don't want to be. How do you answer that one? I don't really. I just like, man, you trip it in. Cause it's just happened. Yeah. The roast just happened. Yeah. Yeah. The competition just happened. There was, I didn't realize, there was a lot of, at least I saw online. I haven't had a lot of personal conversations about it. A lot of blowback online about roast jokes and like it was written by white writers and these things are racist. I, I didn't have, it wasn't on my radar, but scrolling, I saw a whole bunch of stuff about it. Yeah. And like, I mean, people get mad at whatever they get mad at. Yeah. We, we as humans, we enjoy being angry and having a righteous fury. So I get it. But you know, they don't know who wrote each joke. I know. Like David Lucas was on there. Geron Horton was on there. Which jokes did they come up with? Yeah. They don't know. They don't know. I don't know. And I know these people, but I did, and I was at the roast. This stuff was racist, of course, and all that stuff, but that kind of was the name of the game. So I don't, I've never understood the, the idea of like, you know, these people are anything because of their jokes, even sexes, races, homophobic, transphobic. Even if that's true, I've never got that, that because they're joking about this. That's what they are. This is what they are. I feel the same way. I also feel like, look, I'm not a roast expert, but what I do know about roasts is if you've, if you've been around them, if you go to them, you, even like the best roast writers will tell you that you go always to first thought and what is obvious. Like if, like, if you are roasting a black guy, you're gonna have black jokes. If you're roasting a fat guy, you're gonna have fat jokes. You're gonna have, if he's gay, you're gonna have, like that's the name of the game. That's how, that's, that's literally how it's played. So I'm not saying that, like, something can't be overboard or overdone or thought like, it can, but these jokes are going to be a part of, of who you're roasting, what, what is it about them? And if you're famous, like the day it was, you kind of got to do your thing somewhat too. So Tony, in order to be Tony Hinchcliffe, has to give you some Tony Hinchcliffe isms. And I think that's where that George Floyd joke came from. Like it, probably there's, there are some jokes that I heard and this is how I know we just like to be angry at different things. There's some jokes that I heard and I was there that I just laughed at or went stat and thought that and about. Then I go online and I hear people repeating these jokes or saying like, how could he say something like that? And I am like, yeah, how could, how could I say, but it's like you weren't there. Right, right. It's different in the room. I'm telling you, if you were there, you wouldn't be, you would not feel that your brain is not registering these jokes like that. And if your brain isn't, the person who said it isn't like, you know, it's just, it's just different. I think the George Floyd thing was it. So when we did the roast in our competition, I was thinking about stuff like that. And before it was the roast of Marshall Lynch, it was the roast of Kevin Hart. But then Kevin Hart was having an actual roast. So they made the competition roast Marshall Lynch. Well, while I was thinking about Kevin Hart, I was thinking about like, because I'm not a roaster. So I had to watch roasting see like what people were doing. And it, people were talking about death and everything. So I'm thinking about stuff like that to write for Kevin. I didn't do it because I'm like, I don't want to drag dead people into it. But if it worked, then you pop like Nikki Glaser, then what? You don't know. It's just a fucking joke. Yeah, I totally agree. I got to take a quick piss break, dude. Hey, man, I'll be right back. I want to ask you, do you, I'm just curious from your perspective, do you notice, do you feel as somebody who worked the store and here, mothership doing sets, do you notice any note like, is there a notable difference for you? Like, dude, yeah, what do you pick up on? Just curious. The stoke, not the store, the mothership is, and it's not a bad thing necessarily, this is just a thing. It's like a homogenized audience and crowd. They're essentially one organism of, I feel like that about Austin Comedy as a whole, to tell you the truth, it's one type of audience. Now, what that type of audience is, that's, you know, one can decide. But in LA, I feel like it's a different type of audience that all kind of share a mentality. And that mentality may be, I don't know, progressiveness or whatever, but there's different type of people out here. It's like a cult of, I mean, to be completely, completely honest, it's like a cult of the Rogan sphere and Kiltoni, which is, you know, part of the Rogan sphere, which is great, but it's almost like some of these people aren't necessarily coming to see comedy. They don't mind comedy, they might even enjoy comedy, but they came to be a part of the fucking shit. And they're excited and they're appreciative and they're like, yes, let's eat elk. Let's fucking, let me see some wild shit. And it's great. I mean, I'm still here. I enjoy it. And you need those different, you know, sectors of comedy and, you know, you're gonna have that. But, I mean, Austin is just smaller. Yeah, we're talking about LA, we're talking about a scene that's existed, what, since, since stand up or whatever. You know, so it's not even comparable. Like the fact that you can have a scene of this quality, this fast is amazing in itself. So yeah, it'll take a while for, you know, something to branch off in Austin as big as JRE and Kiltoni, but in a completely different, you know, sphere. There's no black shows out here. Right. You know, so that's a whole sector. Other thing. Yeah. I don't know where the gay shows are. They might be out here, but yeah, so it's one type of crowd out here. It seems like, and I could be wrong, but it seems like that, but no, it's, it's, yeah, it's definitely different. Yeah. Yeah. I want to show you before we wrap up a couple, these we call horrible or hilarious. And we just show you videos. Are people going to get hurt? I don't know. I haven't seen them because I mean, I've, I've had a parasocial relationship with you obviously for years. Yeah. And I am aware that pain is funny to you. No. It's not to me. Okay. I'll tell you how this is done every day. Okay. They put a folder together. I have not seen them and we watch the videos and we actually genuinely react to whether it's funny or not. Okay. So I don't know what I'm going to see. So I can't I can't tell you if someone's going to get hurt. Okay. Beautiful. Okay. Okay. He got hurt. I didn't even see him. This guy at the bottom right, the tire just rolled off the highway and he was like having lunch or something. That tire. Jesus Christ. Locked him. I will say this, you left. You left. Because I didn't see the person at first. I thought he just hit something and the guy standing was like, oh, but you know what? This is the kind of video where you don't see like a leg break, you know, at least it's grainy. Yeah. It's like, it's, it's grainy and at, I think he might have a concussion. I don't know, man. Those tires move, brother. Yeah. Those were really hauling. Jesus Christ. I was trying to be optimistic. He might be dead. Okay. Here's, um, is he? Did he die? Don't tell me. I don't want to know, man. I hope all these people are alive. All right. Next one. Let's see. I'll tell you if I find something better. Oh, okay. This might be good. Here we go. Here we go. Where is it? Oh, that's bad. Oh. You shouldn't do that. What the fuck? That was a bad idea. Why does he have an opossum in a bag trying to kiss it? Because he was, he was trying to show off. That's why this is what happened. He got that. It was probably, you know, somebody called him and you grab and then he had to go get a rabies shot. Yeah. Yep. Oh, God. Don't show off, especially with wild animals. Why are all these brown colored people doing this ridiculousness? Show me some white people doing some ridiculousness. They're supposed to know better, man. You don't handle no damn no. Possum in a bag. Funny to you or not funny? Not funny. Not funny. Okay. Rabies is a horrible way to go. Ron liked that one. It's official. Because it looked like it hurt, but he got it immediately. Once you see someone recover, you can enjoy it more. And it's like the more show off-y you are, it's like more earned. It's like, what even, this is, there's no part of this that is safe. Yeah. At least with the possum, it's like maybe you were trying to show the possum love and you're just stupid. That is just complete buffoonery. Yeah. And here's the, he was not okay. He, what? What? Well, he had to go just, I think, seek some medical attention. He didn't die. Let's watch it again. Because this is in Thailand. They're all having fun. Hold that motherfucker real quick. Well, these are some chocolate. Let's go. Oh, he said, let's go. He landed on his face. Yeah. Yeah. Probably broke a two, three. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck me. Fuck you. Wow. One more. Here we go. This one, I have no idea. This is so dangerous. Please don't stab yourself. Stabbing a tire. Stab like a truck. Fuck you. I saw the extended version of this. He actually, he gets up. Yeah. Now, this is fucked up. You know what makes that funny? What? And all that African shit they were saying, I don't know what they were saying, but it's just, and the fucking, it sounded like a warning. That's a lot of pressure, man. You saw his feet to the side, both feet in the air. Yep. Angle. He walked away from that. I should say he crawled, but he left the scene. He was not there. What was he trying to do? I think this is a, it feels like it's a protest of sorts against either this company or like this, you know what I mean? Like, fuck these guys? Yeah. I guess so. Yeah, it looks all war torn now that you're saying, oh, I take it back. That's not funny. He already left. He liked it. He liked it. Damn. Yeah. Why did he do all that in sandals? I don't get that. Sandals everywhere, man. You had no Jordans, no Timberlands. Let's send some Timberlands to Africa. That could be like your charity that you start. Timberlands to, and who else be using sandals working on cars? Indians. Yeah. Yep. We need boots in India and Africa. That's how we go in advance as a world. This will be Ron's like version of Meals on Wheels. Tim's to the motherland. Well, look, dude, this was, I'm so happy for you. Good brother. Congratulations. You deserve it. You earned it. You're ready for it. I'm so excited to see what you do with your special, but I hope you, I hope you savor the moments like everything you're going through now. It's so cool to see. You were amazing on that stage, man. It was really awesome. Man, I appreciate it. Good brother, I thank you. I want to thank all the people that was in the show period. Yeah. The top four, Reg, Caitlin, Usama, who were killing it. My buddy Steve Fury was in the top 10. Felicia folks, everybody. Obviously, I can't name everybody, but those were comedy store people. That was a fun time, man. I'm glad that you were a part of it. I was thrilled to be there. There's dates there. You can see them go to At Comedian Ron T. I can see that from this drop, you'll be at Lebedee Live in Huntsville, Alabama. You'll be at Zanies in Chicago, the Improv and Tempe, the Funny Bone in Albany. You're out there, you're working, man. It's going to be a different experience for you now. It's going to be pretty fucking cool. Yeah. To have the people come to me, it'll be interesting. Yeah. I think you're going to have a lot of fun with it, man. Well, congratulations. Thank you guys for watching. Thanks for listening. We'll see you next week. Peace. Time's a cycle, but who really knows? Bread was for dancers. He's the Hydro Master. Keep those jeans high and tight. Keep those jeans high and tight. Keep those jeans high and tight. Keep those jeans high and tight. Keep those jeans high and so fucking tight. Yeah.
