Eric and comedian/rapper Zack Fox talk about bombing while performing in the Blackest room in Detroit and the whitest room in Salt Lake City, the complications of mixing live music and comedy, and witnessing friends attempt stand-up comedy for the first time. A story involving Dave Chappelle giving sage advice and eventually being ditched for cocaine in a parking lot. Molly may possibly be the only drug to get you through the Comedy Store. Zack eventually wants to take Rhino pills and Eric tells stories about Viagra. An existential crisis sinks in when the guys realize all the dumb stuff they have sent and typed over text.

[2:01] Speaker 4: you know, but this is Detroit.
[2:03] Speaker 2: They're like shut up.
[2:05] Speaker 3: They're like whatever.
[2:06] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[2:06] Speaker 4: And I remember I had like like my pants were
[2:10] Speaker 4: like slightly too short. Uh, they were like high water
[2:15] Speaker 4: a little bit, and somebody like called that out. And
[2:18] Speaker 4: you know, black people, they don't we don't have to
[2:19] Speaker 4: like really say anything.
[2:22] Speaker 2: We could just say look at his nigga.
[2:24] Speaker 4: Pants, And that got more last.
[2:29] Speaker 2: Than what I was setting up.
[2:30] Speaker 4: I was in the middle of a setup or something,
[2:32] Speaker 4: and just look at his pants, just look at them,
[2:34] Speaker 4: just observe him.
[2:37] Speaker 3: That hurts.
[2:37] Speaker 2: It hurts.
[2:38] Speaker 1: Yeah, did you just walk off stage like I want
[2:43] Speaker 1: a quick comedy or were you like, uh you?
[2:46] Speaker 4: I think that time in the other worst one I had,
[2:49] Speaker 4: which was in uh Salt Lake City, Utah.
[2:52] Speaker 2: She went from the blackest show to the whitest show.
[2:54] Speaker 4: Absolute other side of the spectrum and bomb at the
[3:01] Speaker 4: racial polls, the spectrum of c in America. Exactly, it's
[3:07] Speaker 4: not them, it's you. That's what guy was saying. It's
[3:14] Speaker 4: not them. You're wait what happened in Salt Lake City?
[3:18] Speaker 4: I was trying to tell I think I was. I
[3:20] Speaker 4: was just riffing. I was like, just fucking with the crowd,
[3:22] Speaker 4: and I was I didn't realize how talking about Mormons
[3:26] Speaker 4: and talking about Mormon ship in fucking Utah is like
[3:32] Speaker 4: talking about Nipsey Hustle in LA Like you have to
[3:35] Speaker 4: have a sensitivity, super citent like And I didn't realize that.
[3:39] Speaker 4: And I'm just like, you know, it's my first time
[3:40] Speaker 4: there and I'm talking ship, and I mean, the black
[3:43] Speaker 4: room didn't boo. They were there was still like, you know,
[3:46] Speaker 4: they were still giving me a shot. They were just
[3:48] Speaker 4: like this guy looks funny and he's like nerd. But
[3:50] Speaker 4: the White Room was like boom ship boo nigger.
[3:59] Speaker 2: It started a chance. It was in the forties.
[4:04] Speaker 1: Strom Thurman was in the Yeah no wait, they booed
[4:08] Speaker 1: you off stage.
[4:09] Speaker 2: No, I stayed. You stayed the.
[4:14] Speaker 4: Tall You know that that one was the worst because
[4:17] Speaker 4: that one felt like, you know, it's saving private Ryan
[4:19] Speaker 4: where his ears are ringing.
[4:20] Speaker 1: Yeah, like bringing bad when Walter White's like having a
[4:27] Speaker 1: pants or meltdown, You're hearing muffled sound.
[4:35] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah ship and yeah, uh that's funny. I think uh.
[4:40] Speaker 4: I think Alex Huggins was there. Actually really I.
[4:43] Speaker 2: Was just talking to him, so he was there, so
[4:44] Speaker 2: he witnessed you. Oh yeah, he's from Salt Lake City.
[4:47] Speaker 4: That was either yeah, yeah, and he was you know,
[4:49] Speaker 4: he was having a fantastic time because of it. He
[4:52] Speaker 4: was like, you know this guy standing and he was
[4:55] Speaker 4: like front row. Yeah, and he was just dying at
[4:58] Speaker 4: like the context of it. Yes, that I was just
[5:02] Speaker 4: and just getting hit with everything, you know what I mean,
[5:06] Speaker 4: and still responding but not winning in any.
[5:12] Speaker 2: Was it just the Mormon jokes that that turned them
[5:14] Speaker 2: or was the whole thing just I think the whole thing.
[5:16] Speaker 4: They were just like fuck you go away. Also it
[5:22] Speaker 4: was like like I'm sure you've had this experience doing
[5:26] Speaker 4: stand up before someone doing music is the worst? Is
[5:30] Speaker 4: ass like the worst objectively because those people came to
[5:35] Speaker 4: get in a completely different vibration.
[5:38] Speaker 2: They don't mix at all at all at all.
[5:42] Speaker 4: Ever, No, ever, unless you are telling jokes over like
[5:47] Speaker 4: a guy playing saxophone or some.
[5:49] Speaker 2: Shit, yeah maybe, and who does that work? I mean
[5:52] Speaker 2: one of you has to die? Yeah, according to the crowd.
[5:57] Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it doesn't work. Yeah, it's two different mediums.
[6:01] Speaker 4: Have you ever seen it?
[6:03] Speaker 2: Like go well, like have you done it the only time?
[6:07] Speaker 1: And it doesn't really count, Like I saw Chappelle at
[6:10] Speaker 1: Radio City Music Hall and he had to live quality
[6:13] Speaker 1: open up. But they're so famous and people are going
[6:17] Speaker 1: specifically for them that you don't need to win over
[6:21] Speaker 1: the crowd at all. At that level of fame, there
[6:24] Speaker 1: is like a threshold of fame where you can get
[6:27] Speaker 1: away with mixing the two. But until you're at that echelon,
[6:32] Speaker 1: if you're starting out and stand up and not even
[6:35] Speaker 1: starting out, but like just like having to introduce yourself
[6:39] Speaker 1: to the crowd in a way, be like, yes, I
[6:40] Speaker 1: do stand up too, and I'm good at it. If
[6:43] Speaker 1: you're before or after music, or there's music involved, and
[6:46] Speaker 1: it's that kind of up because music you don't have
[6:48] Speaker 1: to pay attention. Yeah, jokes, you have to pay attention. Yeah,
[6:51] Speaker 1: And music you can stand. You can kind of drift
[6:54] Speaker 1: in and out. Your attention span can drift in and out.
[6:57] Speaker 1: You can walk out, you can walk in, you can
[6:58] Speaker 1: dance to it. Stand up you have to sit and watch.
[7:02] Speaker 1: You don't stand while you watch TV. You sit while
[7:04] Speaker 1: you watch TV, and you pay attention when you watch
[7:06] Speaker 1: TV comedy on TV. So it's the same for stand up.
[7:09] Speaker 1: So stand up as it requires something different from the audience.
[7:12] Speaker 1: But the audience doesn't know that. They don't know the nuances,
[7:14] Speaker 1: and it's not their job to know. It's not their
[7:16] Speaker 1: job to know. They don't fucking know.
[7:18] Speaker 4: A concert, you could just at any moment start screaming
[7:23] Speaker 4: at the top of your lungs. Yeah, And when there's
[7:26] Speaker 4: a part of the show where someone's like, hey, let
[7:29] Speaker 4: me change that etiquette real quick for me, not for you,
[7:32] Speaker 4: but for my stories that I want to tell you
[7:35] Speaker 4: you're like naturally be like no, yeah, I don't care.
[7:40] Speaker 4: Cardi Playboy Cardi is about to I don't give a
[7:43] Speaker 4: fuck what your dad whoever did this?
[7:46] Speaker 3: Right?
[7:47] Speaker 2: It's like, you know, right.
[7:52] Speaker 3: With a recdre call me with are.
[8:03] Speaker 1: What's the worst you've ever seen? Somebody bomb? And this
[8:05] Speaker 1: can be like a concert or it doesn't have to
[8:07] Speaker 1: be comedy, Oh man, it could just be like a
[8:11] Speaker 1: freestyle rap battle or something where a white guy came
[8:14] Speaker 1: up and said the N word like a.
[8:17] Speaker 2: Bunch in the face. I just saw that recently. That's
[8:20] Speaker 2: what I thought about. I might have said it to you.
[8:24] Speaker 3: But.
[8:26] Speaker 4: You know, I've seen some I've seen some some pretty
[8:29] Speaker 4: bad ones.
[8:30] Speaker 2: Uh.

[8:34] Speaker 4: gonna hate me for bringing this up. Actually to change
[8:38] Speaker 4: the name. I'm not going to change because because he's
[8:43] Speaker 4: he's he's too dope for me to to change his name.
[8:46] Speaker 4: And he would appreciate this, but he didn't really he
[8:50] Speaker 4: I'll tell a great story of a man bombing and
[8:53] Speaker 4: completely taking it back and then winning. It was a
