Chapter 2: What are the details about upcoming shows and events?
How's it going? Thank you guys for all coming out. I want to just tell everyone, thank you for having us here at the Comedy Store. Guys, give it up for Tony and Swift. I thought you were going to explain. You said you. All right. Hi, everybody. I'm sorry I'm late. We were going to talk about it. Me and you were talking about it. Oh, okay. We were talking about it. This thing's already a hit.
Yeah, that's right. That's hilarious. But Tony has been on many episodes of Death Squad. If you've listened to the Ice House Chronicles, he's been on the Joe Rogan podcast. And he's been asking for a podcast for a long time. And people have been asking Brian to give me a podcast for a long time. Let's not forget that. Yeah, totally. My mailbox is flooded.
With a whole bunch of offers from other things. But no, this is kind of cool because we've actually shot different ideas, which we might even do sometime together. A lot of ideas. Yeah. And what was your idea for this one? I was looking at that note earlier that said the Apple Dumpling Gang.
Yeah.
I had this idea that I really want to do. I don't know if you guys ever remember the Apple Dumpling Gang. Yeah, Don Knotts and Tim Conway.
I want to reboot that, but I'm Tim Conway, he's Don Knotts, but it's like super dirty. Like the Apple Dumpling Gang grows up or something.
I don't even know what the Apple Dumpling Gang is. Netflix that shit. Well, it's probably horrible now. I can't even imagine. So, yes, I'm excited about this. This is fun. We have a different concept that I decided to go with here. I got really high one night, and I had the idea that if...
I'm going to do a podcast on a Monday night at the Comedy Store in which there's 50 people that a lot of people don't know around the country and stuff. That, you know, like 50 or 60 comedians come here every Sunday and Monday at 6 o'clock. It's a mob. It's unbelievable. And everybody's been part of it at some point. Every great comic, I mean, you read the...
You read whatever book, how many decades ago or whatever, and they talk about a Sunday or a Monday night here, you know, signing up at six. I mean, the system hasn't changed at this place forever. So when you set a Monday eight o'clock podcast, I'm like, how can we use the natural resource of this building to our advantage? Because there's so many comedians that want to do so much.

Chapter 3: How did the idea for the podcast originate?
So this is when you figure out what you want this to be. I have to decide right now? No, by next Monday. By next Monday. Oh, okay. At 8 p.m. I got you. So you guys might witness history at some point. I love it. Yes. How exciting. When did you first meet Rick Ingram?
I first saw Rick Ingram, like I said, the first time I signed up here was a Sunday night and I got to see Rick Ingram a few nights after that when I was just here watching one of the real shows for the first time. I think it was probably that Tuesday night, something like that. My mind was blown because he's so funny and he's off the cuff. All the time. And it's ridiculous.
And he just cracked me up. Him, Duncan Trussell. There were a few people on that lineup. Because sometimes it's really old school here because there's a lot of people that have been here for decades. You know what I mean? Yeah, totally. And then all of a sudden you see somebody like that and it gives you hope. You guys all know who Rick Ingram is, by the way? Yeah. There you go. Should we?
Yeah, let's bring him up. All right, great. Ladies and gentlemen, my first and only guest tonight. Put your hands together for the one and only Rick Ingram, everybody. Fuck yeah, Rick Ingram. Hello. How are you, buddy? I'm fucking great. Interesting mic choice, by the way, the one right next to Tony. You guys are very close, I could tell already.
I was confused if maybe I was supposed to sit there or why there are so many.
Here, I'll get closer.
Let's bring it in. Hell yeah. Let's talk about this. Wait, do all of us have to take our shirt off or can we do like a shirt off, pants off, hat off type of thing? It's going to get creepy. Let's touch the ends of the mic, and we can't untouch it the whole time. Listen, that's it. Oh, it's happening. All right. Oh, my God. Is that not the gayest thing? No, no.
Now let's take our left hand and put it directly on the crotch. So this is experimental, and I heard it from a hipster friend of mine that it's the best podcast that they've ever heard. Oh, yeah. Two weeks ago they told me. They said, it's not out yet, but it's fucking amazing. They love it. So I knew they were genuine.
I'm sure they're going to keep loving it because I highly doubt this train wreck is ever going to go mainstream. Perfect. Well, as long as we can keep no listeners, it'll be high on their list, I'm sure. I love it. There's already too many people on this list of open micers for it to be fully hipster.

Chapter 4: What experiences did the hosts have with comedians in the industry?
Yeah. Holy shit. And she had an I Fucked Pauly Shore t-shirt. Really? Yeah. See, those were the worst nights. When Pauly didn't pick up pussy at the show, then it's fucking dredges. Then you're going to Hooters. And then if he doesn't get anything at Hooters, which, I mean, that's pretty fucking sad. But if he didn't, straight to the strip club.
You hit up fucking the finest thing Columbia, South Carolina has to offer. And, yeah, eventually he'll leave with someone. There's a lot of comedians in the room that I'm sure would love to know what it's like going on the road with Andrew Dice Clay. Fuck yeah. If anything, any wild... I was lucky. I was in an era of Andrew Dice Clay where he was experimenting with sleep medication.
So I got to experience Ambien Andrew Dice Clay, which at first I just thought like I was 23 years old at the time and I was positive that like, oh, this is so funny. Andrew Dice Clay calls me and he pretends to be a black guy. And it's just hilarious. Right. You're like, oh, that's funny. That's pretty cool. No, this dude was straight hallucinating in the middle of the night.
My phone would ring at like 4 in the morning, and I'd be like, oh, it's Dice. And this would be if I was in town, if we were on the road. He just would call you. You'd answer. Hey, motherfucker, this is Marvin. And you're like, oh, God. I just made it rain with my giant black dick.
And it's one of those things, his impression is so bad, he has to reference in Hallucination how black he is so that you know the character is black. So I was convinced it was just him fucking around. And then we were in Miami. And we had to fly at like 5 in the morning or something like that. And Dice was still tripping fucking balls at the airport. He's yelling at the fucking security guy.
At that point, he thought he was a drill instructor. And the guy obviously knows it's Dice. And he's just like, you know, sir, did you have your luggage? And he's like, oh, where are you stationed at, soldier? And I was positive we were going to get arrested. Doesn't break the whole time. Dude was just fucking hallucinating. Wow.
So for like six months, that was my life, was like three times a week getting a phone call from Andrew Dice Clay. What happened at the end of six months? He stopped taking Ambien? Yeah. At that point, I think there was a situation where you'd like wake his kid up and they would drive around while he was hallucinating and pick up garbage. He would like fill his Escalade with trash.
And so then after that, he was like, this isn't safe. That was one of those eye opening. Wow. You go out to your car and it's filled with the entire neighborhood's garbage. And you're like, oh, when I heard that, I'm like, oh, I don't necessarily think he's fucking around now. Now I think he's hallucinating. So, yeah, that was that. I got to meet O.J. Simpson, you know. With Dice? With Dice.
Because Dice wouldn't meet O.J., second fiddle. O.J. wanted to meet someone, God damn it.

Chapter 5: What happens when you name drop failed opportunities?
I sent it to Saturday Night Live, but they haven't called me back. Hold on a second. Wait a second. You cannot name drop things that you fail at. That is part of bragging. You can't just say, oh... I put that on this thing that is going to be tremendously unsuccessful for my career, just in case any of you ever get to see some sort of a reel called Things That Never Get You Booked.
All right, so there was no punchline to that? You just thought you would flow into? Yeah, what do you normally do when it's not just a minute? You just keep doing a speech? Like, do you have one memorized or...? Is this like a Shay Mitosh type of thing where you're hoping that eventually the impression – She was a comic that used to perform here. She had blonde hair too. She did impressions.
And one thing I noticed from watching her was her impressions would go on long enough that eventually the crowd would start to – Yeah, we get it, clap. So is that like how the punchline usually works? You just keep doing the impression, and eventually the crowd's like, okay, you don't have to give us a punchline.
No, I like to do it until it gets to a point where it's just gotten bad, and then I'll try to make fun of it as a punchline, kind of like what I did. So instead of doing good comedy, you just keep it bad and come up with quips to talk about how bad it is. All right, successful game plan. That is a really good approach.
As opposed to having it to fall back on and being able to come up with – just write it bad and specialize on the making fun of it. I think the impression – the actual inflection is good.

Chapter 6: How does one effectively handle comedy impressions?
It's just I'm not black. Okay. Listen, that's your problem, not my problem. I can't make you – is that what we should have suggested? I would be black if I were you. You're definitely not black. Yeah. But is that the big impression you do? The Obama, that's your good one? You don't have like a... I like Obama. I like Jim Carrey. Do you do a zany Jim Carrey impression? Oh, I love Jim Carrey.
Do you do the Jim Carrey that does good impressions, Jim Carrey? Oh, yeah. Can you do good impressions as long as you're doing an impression of Jim Carrey? Yeah, maybe you should always go through him. It's a warp tunnel, man. I love his expressions. Have you seen his unnatural act? He's a Canadian, so no.
Chapter 7: What is the importance of punchlines in comedy?
Rick hates Canadians. Listen, it's not hatred. It's just utter disdain for a group of people who want to be us so badly. Are you Canadian, Taylor? I think hate is a shorter word. It's a more concise version of utter disdain or something longer that you can think of. Trust me, I save my hate for individuals, not groups of people. No, Wolfgang Carey is Canadian.
When you were tucking in your shirt earlier. Yeah, when you were putting together the Honda blue shirt team outfit. And you were going to get us all a great deal. This is the comedy. See, I feel like, because when I started doing comedy, I did it in Kansas City. And I was in college. And, like, when you start, you just don't know stuff. And people would give us the worst advice.
And one of the things they would always say is, like, oh, and you've got to make sure you dress the part. Like, you can't just go up in jeans and T-shirt and expect people to think you're a comedian. And I feel like this is kind of how I would have dressed.
What?
Like taking their advice, I'd be like, all right, you know what? Brunch with grandma.
That's what I'm going for. It's kind of backward. It's like someone who dressed to be successful but didn't know how to dress to be successful. This is how I dress.
This is every day. Play a lot of golf. Every day. Play a lot of golf. Fuck yeah.
I'm your average comic. Plays a lot of golf.
He's got Kato Kaelin hair. Just look at him. Let's get some wind on him. Holy shit. Oh, my God. How old am I? How dare you? Kato Kaelin. What are you going to do next? Burn an American flag? Yeah, no kidding.

Chapter 8: How does the podcast wrap up with audience interactions?
I'm up here telling OJ stories, and this guy doesn't even know who Kato Kaelin is? Wrong crowd. Wrong crowd. All right, so. All right.
Taylor Dean.
Who is he? He was a, yeah. Google that shit, man. There he goes. Taylor Dean, everybody. He's about to go pick up a shift at Best Buy right now. Straight. To the electronics department. Where he'll be entertaining Charles Fleischer for two hours. Wow. That was my uniform when I was the assistant manager of a general cinema movie theater in Columbus, Ohio. That's the fucking look. Authority.
Did you like that job? Oh, I wanted to kill myself every single day. Were you like the projectionist guy? No, I was an assistant manager, but I was also a projectionist for a long period of time. No, you should throw that outfit away. Wait. Get rid of the joke in the outfit. Is that your guitar? Why do you have a fucking guitar? Please tell me you're leaning up against somebody else's guitar.
That would be even better. I think it is. I think it is. It is mine. Wow. You had an opportunity to really fucking impress us with one minute of a zany song about you and your frat brothers or something, and you chose to do that Obama bit that went nowhere. All right. Only suggestion for Taylor, I would say write punchlines. Right. Right. Focus on punchline writing.
Or sentences.
Yeah, even full sentences. And if you're serious about SNL, maybe impressions of people of the same race that they might have you play on Saturday Night Live. They're really not in hurtful need of a good Obama impression. Do you do a killer Oprah by any chance? Because there's a character they'll also never let you play that you could work on. All right. We've been mean enough.
Unless he just did all black people that he would never be able to do. In blackface. In blackface.
That could be your whole thing, Taylor. Don't focus on being funny. Focus on the straight racism. Yes. We'll hook him up with Rich Slayton. We're going to have Rich Slayton teach you a thing or two about moonshine, and we'll bring you back a whole new man. He's going to be the unknown comic of the Ku Klux Klan. That's it? Just wears a hood on stage.
