Yeah. Yeah, it was fun. It was, you know, because I was going to do it before the pandemic happened. And then that stalled it out. And then I came back. I shot it at one place. It meant too much to me to put out a bad version of it. So I edited it for three months and then I just fucking scrapped it entirely. And then when I did, there we go.
And then the great Adam Egott said, hey, we'd love to have you. Joe, we'd love to have you do a special here. And I was like, are you fucking kidding me? And I came in and I didn't have to do shit. I didn't have to like build a backdrop because Brian Simpson, I think, is the only guy that's put a special out from this place. So like that backdrop is beautiful and people haven't seen it much.
Right, right. Yeah, but at the same time, I wanted it to be special. It's been a long time since I put a special out. And this material is like, again, I've been working on it for like eight years. So I wanted it to really pop. And so I bought in an 800-pound gorilla. They shoot a lot of the specials. And I spent some money, and I did it right. And I'm fucking psyched about it. Nice.
And is it going to be on YouTube? It's on YouTube right now. It comes out today.
And it's also, I love that I can see the comments. Oh, yeah. I mean, if you put it on Netflix or Comedy Central, I guess there's going to be some conversation on certain places. But YouTube, it's right fucking there. And you can see how many people are watching it. And, you know, I just don't want my wife and kids to watch the last 10 minutes.
That's where I start giving it to the old lady a little bit.
Yeah, they don't need to see that. They don't need to see your act. Come on. Stay away from that.
Yeah. You can see the trips I take you on. That's all you need to care about. Dad's Mustang. That's all you're concerned about.
What was that Mustang you drove into the comedy store one night? You had like a 68 Fastback, was it?
Look at that. I know, because that was the rap on old Mustangs is they were fast, but you went into a corner and you got slammed against the side of the car. Look at that thing. Nasty. Those are fun. I don't know what it is about Mustangs. It's just the American car to me.
It feels right. Like it's exciting. I know my wife wanted me to get a Tesla, and I was like, I want to feel it. I want to feel that fucking rumble. Tesla's actually faster, though, isn't it? Way faster.
Well, it's insanity because then people don't hear you coming, and you're going that much faster.
Oh, no shit. Yeah. You have to think about that. Yeah. Rivians had a big callback. I think they're okay now, but they called back every one of them at one point. Oh, for what? Like a year ago.
And they just fry. And people's houses burn down because if you leave it charged in your garage, it will ignite sometimes.
Imagine that. You're trying to save a few bucks by getting an electric bike and you burn your house down.
Oh, don't show me this. That also doesn't even get into what we're talking about with the cobalt mining that has to go into it and the disposal of the batteries, which nobody really understands yet.
