From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, Jay Mews. Plus the news with Alicia Krauss and now Adam Corolla.
Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. No choice but to get it on. Mandate, you get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Jay Muse here. Jay, Silent Bob, you know the whole thing. Jay's doing some podcasting, got a show, doing some stand-up. You're doing stand-up, right?
That's correct, yes. That's Diary of a Man Child, I'm calling this segment, if you will. Because it was amusing stories for about two and a half years, and then I switched up the material. Now it's called Jay Muse, Diary of a Man Child.
And it's interesting because I feel like I've been down that road myself, but I'm curious where you're coming from with it. You have a name. People recognize you. You can go out and, like, sell tickets, right? and but you're not really traditional stand-up it's not like you have the process and the jokes and stuff so you go out you do a lot of improv and you you you know you tell stories and you know so on and so forth and sometimes there's a visual component to it but at some point I did the same thing but then at some point I was like I think you should just I should just become a comedian a stand-up comedian and I'll just write jokes and I'll memorize them and I'll I'm not doing any crowd work.
I'm not showing any pictures. I'm just gonna do jokes. And I don't know how far into the journey you are, but are you thinking that way?
I am thinking that way. You know why? Because when I started, like it all started because, you know, Kevin and I toured for a while together, and then a couple of the clubs we performed at were like, hey, man, Jay, do you want to come back and do a show yourself? So when I started, I started at 45 minutes, and I had this – you know, these stories that I put together to try to stretch out 45 minutes.
What experiences did Jay Mewes have with heroin addiction?
And then all of a sudden I got invited to do like skank fest and comedy store. And they're like, you're doing 10 minutes. And it sounds weird, but all of a sudden I'm like, I don't know if I can do 10 minutes. Like I have this, this streamline of stories. Now I got actually 10 minutes to try to make people laugh and tell jokes and And so far, so good. But I am now starting to think like, hey, I'm getting more and more offers to do these 10 minutes, 12 minutes. And I really feel like I want to like really make sure I can punch in those jokes to make them laugh in those 10 minutes.
