Matt Adkins

Yeah, so I've been doing comedy for about a year and a half, give or take, You know, people, they ask you, how do you come up with jokes? What's your writing process? Sorry, I'm out of breath, but, and I tell them, well, it's pretty simple, man. It's a lot like my ex. You know, after a few drinks, they really start hitting me, you know?

You know, I'm built kind of like Bugs Bunny, but, you know, I eat more than carrots. I eat ass, too. Yeah, you eat ass. Hell yeah. I also kind of look like Jesus if he sold fentanyl, you know? Yeah. I don't get it, like, he's kind of gaslighting us, talking about, oh, I came back from the dead in three days. Fuck whatever, dude, we do that nowadays, no problem. We got Narcan, dude.

It's the big fucking deal. He needs to come back down here and see things have changed a little bit. All right, that's it, I guess. Matt Adkins.

A year and a half, give or take. Where at? All in the here in Nashville? I go to Nashville. I go to Huntsville. I started in a venue 220 in Pulaski where the KKK was founded. Oh, wow. Very exciting. Kid Rock is hard as a rock right now. What do you do for work? Well, I'm a painter. I paint, not like artistry, but like houses and stuff. Commercial, whatever, whatever you got.

You look like you have some interesting habits. I mean, I kind of like to do a lot. I mean, I'm a skateboarder. I'll go hiking. I'll fish. I'm like an ATV as a person, you know, all over the place. Okay.

Um... Let's see. Acid, mushrooms, uh... One time in Indiana, I did a Suboxone. I almost fucking died. Tell us about that. Yeah, so I was like... Me and the homies, I won a contest at Hardee's. I worked at Hardee's, and, um... Yeah... One of the people there was like, dude, sign up. You might fucking get on. I was like, I ain't no way, but here, you know what? If I do, I'll take you with me.

I got on and then we was at the hotel and he's like, man, we need some weed. And I was like, dude, I'll find us some weed. Watch. A dude come walking out and the way he walked out, he had that, I'm a dealer walk. And I was like, he's got it. So I went over there and he's like, man, I can't get you no weed because my dude's out of town, but I got these Suboxone strips and I don't know.

What did it make you feel like? Uh, For about 10 minutes, I felt really good. I was rapping Tech N9ne in the trunk and... Hell yeah. And a few other things, I was hanging out with this dog named Chico at the hotel, and then... Was the dog real? Yeah, the dog was real. Some old lady's dog. And then, shit, I don't know, we went to Wendy's, and I think that's where it went downhill.

I got a Frosty, and that made me throw up.

I got my hair ripped out by a drill, which was... I thought it was my shirt, too. I didn't even know. And my headphones. But, shit, I don't know. I got struck by lightning, kind of, I guess. Oh! Some... You got struck by lightning? Yeah, well, it hit the house, and I was hanging on to the... Back when refrigerators and freezers were separate...

I was hanging on in my Spider-Man costume, and that's when I found out, don't fuck with Electro, you know? I swear to God, I was in a Spider-Man costume, and it hit the house, I was like, and I swear to God, I flew from here to probably that stair set right there, dude, up against the wall. I never felt nothing like that. No power like that before. Shit was crazy.

I feel like I could move quicker after that.

Oh, dude, I've been told that I could be a cult leader, actually. I'm not even playing.

That's a third person now. Really? Within a week that's told me that.
