Hey, guys. Golden Retriever of Comedy Tour is starting back up in February.

Go to dansoder.com and see all announced dates. All dates are up, and the tickets are on sale. Go buy tickets right now.
I really appreciate it, and I hope you're doing okay. I think we'll go comedy first half, and then I really want to talk about McDaniel. McDaniel?
Oh, the dolphin.
The former dolphin.
Oh, sorry.
Now he's a porpoise. He no longer has a porpoise. Out of all the comics that we came up with, you have consistently done the funniest shit in late night situations that I know no one else we're friends with would ever do. The I'm Kevin Hart closing the set with I'm Kevin Hart. Sure. The wiping your... The Conan tie.
Was he mad about that? He didn't love it because his mic was on his tie. So he was like, what are you doing? This could ruin the whole show. But I had to do it. I just got like a weird jolt.
Did he calm down?
Yeah, he was cool. It wasn't the end of the world, but I asked him to do his pod and he was like, we're good. So... I can't get on there either. Oh, really? Okay, okay.

Chapter 2: How does the conversation shift to late-night comedy experiences?
So are you. No, I'm below you, so we got to look at how it's going. To get on Conan, Conan, have us both on. How about that? That would be great. We could talk about your late night sets.
Yes.
Because he did one of the coolest things that I've seen in the business where the second time I did Conan, I didn't like my set.
Yeah.
Just didn't like it, didn't feel like it went well. I didn't like it either. He called me to the couch. And, you know, like to say goodnight. Yeah. Because they do that. It's not like Carson. They're just doing it.
I thought the same thing. You're like, we're going to chat. And he's like, just shut up.
Shut up. I'll do this. Yeah. But he did something really cool where at the end of the show, he went, all right, that's all my time. He thanked the guests. And he's like, Dan Soto, thank you guys. Good night. And he went, you know, it's like the crowd's clapping. He goes, how'd you think you'd do? And I go, I hated that set. And he just looks at the crowd. He goes, they fucking sucked. Whoa.
And it made me feel so much better. Whoa.
Instantly. That's amazing.

Chapter 3: What insights are shared about the challenges of warming up audiences?
But then it puts them in this weird position where they're going after it. Because when we were coming up and all I wanted to do was not have a day job and be a comic, I remember the lure of warm-up.
Yes, yeah, you get dental benefits, health.
You're doing a show every day in front of important people. You're working on it. And then you see it and you go, it is a trap.
Oh, completely, completely. I know the girl who does The View, and she's like, it's tough. You've got to be in there early in the morning, and you've got to deal with all those crazy coups, ladies.
Who do you think is harder to warm up, Gutfeld or The View? I would say The View. The View, because I think liberal audiences are too like, don't say that.
And it's all ladies. Yeah. It's all like ladies who don't work because they're there in the middle of the day. You got to be like, hey, fuck your husband. Yes, exactly. And you're a husband. You're a white guy. They don't want that. Yeah.
And then Gutfeld must be pretty easy.
You just jingle keys. You just go, hey, my kid's in a Somali daycare.
Ah!

Chapter 4: How do social media and online comments affect comedians?
Such tight jokes. He's a killer. He's never done a special? No. Well, he had eight of them, but then he would be like, they're not good. Scrapping. So he couldn't live with it. Abort.
Something I don't believe in. Make sure.
It's the only time he likes abortion. Yeah. You got to bring that special to term. If you filmed it, you got to fucking. If you're pro comedy, you better fucking release it.
I mean, it was late term, too, because that thing was edited. It had, like, art on it and everything. In the ninth month, he slid in and aborted it. You hypocrite.
Yeah.
I love this. We're back to busting balls. They can't stop us. Dude, I did a podcast episode with Tommy Pope. Oh, nice. Love him. We talked about the NFL. He's a big Eagles guy. I'm a big 49ers guy. They're playing this week. And then I talked about what it's like having a friend who's an NFL head coach. Yeah. Because you got to deal with... sports shows talking shit about your friend.
Like us joking about Joe. We all know it's, we love Joe. He's fucking hilarious. He can text us and be like, that wasn't funny. And that's fine. Sure. When you watch like cable sports shows and there's shit talking your friend. Right. It gets you, I got me, I can't handle it.
And also sports, what we do is subjective. So you go, that guy sucks. You're like, to you. He's not funny. To you. You lost that game. There's no way around that. You fucking lost. Exactly. And that's already painful enough. Right.
Because you want to see your friends do well. Exactly. Then what sucks even more is all these people coming in and going. I'm going to tell you the reason they did this. They lost because they bad, bad, bad. And like Katie is, you know, obviously worked in sports forever.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of having a two-parent household?
And she kind of helps me navigate because I'll get mad at you. Go. No, it's there's people that are analyzing them and people that are criticizing. Sure. Those are the two differences. Yeah. But man, I had to edit it out of the Tommy episode. But I was like. Because I go on the Dolphins Reddit. Oh, no. And they were like... Because I've stopped going to all comedy Reddit. Good for you.
It's... You have to learn how to not do it. I know. It's touching a hot stove. It's one day at a time. It's one day at a time and it's touching a hot stove. Because the second you do go and you look and it's bad, it'll fuck your shit up.
Totally. I just deleted two videos the other day because I read some shit.
And you read... And I think... everyone katie used to have a theory that everyone like this is an old theory she had that everyone should walk around with over i think 500 000 followers on instagram just to see how it feels oh that's good to feel how everybody is criticized that's good and i feel like everyone should have a sub reddit post about them right Because you read that.
And the first time I experienced it was the Opie and Anthony subreddit. Because they liked me. And then when they turned that day. Yes, yes. I like had a coffee and I was like, let me check the opening. Dan Soder. And then you go in and there's like 193 comments. And you're like. You see the amount of punches you're going to take.
They're right. They're absolutely right. I had the same thought before I went to bed last night. And you just said it. Yeah.
And so it's. But. There should be, you know how they do those things with like a period or pregnancy where they put it on a man and you feel the pain? Yes, yes. They should do that with Reddit comments. Like somehow it fires your synapse that causes anxiety and doubt. And you're like, now there you go. That's what would happen if you put out a bad YouTube.
Did you see that video of the woman who was like, it's got to be so easy to be a man. I wish I was a man. And she dressed up as a man, like full crazy. What is that Rick guy who does all the special effects?
Rick Baker.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts view the impact of social media on mental health?
Because that's like, every time you bring up that situation, I immediately think of Eddie Murphy dressing as a woman.
I know, I thought the same thing.
That's the best one where he goes, with the newspaper, and he goes, just keep it.
eddie murphy's day as a white guy on snl is one of the fun go top five it's got to be on youtube oh easily it's got millions of views fucking funny i don't know keep it just take it take it i remember being a kid yeah very little and it fucking made me laugh so google says the story you're recalling refers to journalist nora vincent who lived as a man named ned for 18 months oh that
To explore male privilege, concluding in her book, Self-Made Man, that men's lives weren't easier and men faced unique emotional burdens and later died by assisted suicide in 2022. Oh, sorry. Though her death was due to major depression, not directly proven as a result of the experience, but the experience...
contributed to her mental health so i don't think you're wrong i don't think you're wrong well there's also there's like a popular tiktok of a woman that went on a dating site as a man and she like blogs about it and she's like yo this is fucked oh really women are asking versus like that's hilarious but everyone that's i think what the internet kills off that we need to fight for is empathy
yeah it's like you don't the reason because i get sick of hearing comments like comics go i don't read comments sure it's just like yes you do you do it's like the epstein list yeah you go you know if you're a very powerful person you know a very powerful person that's right don't act like you don't yeah tell me you do Then we start working forward.
I know family members who are... And they should be castrated and put on an island. You hear that, Dad? Ah, square. If you have a business, first off, good job. That is one of the hardest things. That gives me anxiety, the thought of starting a business. Like, where the hell do you start? What the hell? How do you get people to take you seriously? I don't know.
Well, I know if I'm starting a business, probably start with Square. The system powering half the places you use and buy stuff from. If you've ever tapped your credit card to a cell phone with one of those Squares, Well, that's Square.

Chapter 7: What humorous anecdotes are shared about personal experiences?
But yeah, no, it's true. Before I met my wife, I was a big Tinder and Bumble guy. And Bumble is crazy because the woman goes at you. That's the whole spin. It's like the Sadie Hawkins dance. And they are, not to shit on all women and generalize, but they are terrible with pickup lines. Because they never had to do it. So they'll be like, how's your Tuesday? That's what you got?
How's your Tuesday? Get out of here.
I hit a real lonely point in 2016. Probably my loneliest. Match.com. Which if you don't know, when you sign up for Match.com, it's... Harder than applying for college. Really? Yeah, because you have to write essays about yourself and what you want. What? That's why it costs money because I think they actually try. Okay, that's cool. It's not just a Bumble algorithm that's just firing off.
Yeah, I'm just getting women with blue hair all day.
It's like, oh, but... I made the mistake of being like, I work in comedy, blah, blah, blah. Man, women trying to. Oh, yeah. I bet I'm funnier than you.
Oh, that was a big one.
Bitch, you ain't. I'll tell you right now, bitch, I got hundreds of hours of podcasting that I'll tell you that you ain't. Yeah. That doesn't make me want to fuck you.
What? Oh, the negging.
If on our first date, Katie was like, I'm funnier than you, I'd be like, you're out of your... It's just a weird thing to say. Katie's hilarious. And I would be like, it would just turn me off on you being funny.

Chapter 8: What reflections are made on the evolution of comedy and its challenges?
We got one thing, but it's comments have got to be on the list. Why is no one talking about that?
Oh, I think that's proven.
Oh, okay.
I think that's why Australia did that thing where they tried taking kids off social media. Oh, that didn't stick? I don't know where they're at with it. I think they were the first country to try it. Good for them. But they were the first ones that did the gun laws.
I mean, they did recently, but they've had like, I'm not even going to talk about this because these fucking gun nuts jizz out their ass when you talk about it. But they did like, John Oliver did a piece on the Daily Show years ago about how their gun ban worked. For the most part. Yeah, it went 40 years or whatever. But I haven't heard of a school in a while. Are we turning the corner on that?
Or are we just, you know, they're not even news anymore.
Did they move on? Was it like a thing where it's like, that's not even cool anymore.
Exactly, exactly.
It's not cool to spray up your school.
