I think it's happening. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, we're doing this thing.
We're doing it indeed. Yeah. So happy to have you here. So good to be.
Yeah. You know what my wife said? She told me to tell you she goes, can you just tell fortune? She's great.
Aww. And then she did one of those happy sides. You know, like a... I love that.
I'll take that any day. Yeah, right. I was like, yeah, I will definitely. I was like, that's how I'm going to open the podcast.
I appreciate you asking them all. Yeah. Yeah. I said hello and give her a...
Right back. I will. All positive vibes around. I love this.
Yes. Yeah. So I've known you for, I'm trying to think of how we originally met. I know.
I'm assuming something with the Comedy Store. Probably. Rose Battle. Yeah.
Maybe one of the jams perhaps. Yeah. Comedy Gym, probably before Rose Battle. Yeah.
Yeah. Cause I did that. Would we have met before we did the Comedy Gym at the Lyrik? Wasn't it the Lyrik?
Yeah. It's at the Lyrik. Yeah. Cause it seems like a while ago.
At least five years plus ago now. Plus, I got enough. Thought I made before. Probably.
Probably a similar. Probably a story because of a very small world after a while. Yeah, for sure. When I came up at the Comedy Store, when I first started, Tony was working the door, Tony Hinchcliffe.
And it was, and Benji. Yeah, that curve. And then it was Josh and Drahd and a bunch of people. They were all the newbies.
Yeah. But I was sort of like my own thing, and everyone had their groove, but everyone's really nice to it. So what do you mean you were your own thing? Like I came from Groundlings.
I was in the improv sketch world. Yeah. And I kind of was like, I want to try stand up. And so I didn't know anyone.
I just started taking a class. And then that class led to a show in the belly room at the end of the six weeks. It was like a performance class at the end. Yeah.
And then that, Adam Barnhart did the show up in the comedy. Yeah. The belly room. So then he let me do music for his show every Sunday night for like a year.
What kind of music are you doing? I'm getting alert. Literally, no. I wish I could play.
I literally pressed play. I'll be your iPod. I'm going to press that. I'm having DJ.
Play. Stop. Play. Stop.
Pause. Stayed in. I'm going to be a little bit more than a couple of minutes. Every kid is a brand new comment.
I did that many times for people when they're like, I don't have any way to run music. And I was like, I will do it. I was fine. Yeah.
And so I was kind of like, I was doing that upstairs while, you know, like Chris Talia was kind of coming up in the OR. And so I would like go down and watch all these guys do their thing and Angelo and Josh and we'd be like, hey, what's up? And so I was kind of a loner, but then slowly got to know everybody and felt like more of one of the gang part of the community. Yeah.
And I was like, what's the first? A little bit. I was just kind of an observer. Yeah.
Just kind of soaking everything in being studious taking it. Yeah. This is how it goes around here. And then I was at the comedy store, like, all the time for like four years, and then I started touring.
Yeah. You've been touring a lot. I started touring in 2010. Yeah.
And it really cranked up in 2011. And so now I feel like I don't, I pop into the store, but I don't get to like hang around as much as I, you know, in the beginning. And it's one of those places where if you stay away even for a little bit, there's so many new faces that are constantly coming in and out of there who you're like, oh, this is okay. Interesting.
I'm like, I don't know. I mean, I know all the, you know, the, the comics that, that were around when I was coming up, well, I the new ones, I don't know. Yeah. And I feel so out of the loop.
Yeah, it's interesting. Even with like the wait staff and stuff, like I've been on the road more this year, like on the weekends and stuff and it's weird to come back and be like, Oh, okay. There's been some turnovers. Yeah.
And, you know, for people that, you know, didn't know I started back in 2006 or whatever, they were like, they're like, Oh, you didn't stand up? I'm on the road. I'm on the road. I'm on the road.
I'm on the road. I'm like, I'm telling people to go the route. Don't look down because I'm pouring. Now, because you had a certain groundlings, did you, were you prone to doing more characters in your standup?
Like starting out like, what did some of your early standup look like? Oh, it was a lot of stories about my mom and beginning. So I would do her sort of as a character where I was just like, Hey, you know, like a mom voice. Yeah.
Like, why do you get so upset? And so I would go into voices. But then it would be, you know, if you stories about my family, mostly her and then I had just come out of the closet in 2005, started standing up like a year later. So it was all kind of being discovered.
How soon were you talking on stage about it after you came out of the closet? Oh, pretty soon. Was that like freeing or was that kind of scary? Because that's a lot kind of all at once.
Like to be like, okay, this is who I am. And now not just tell my family. I'm telling everybody. It was really crazy at first because I was, I still didn't know what it was like, you don't just like know how to be gay.
You know, I mean, like you are that there's not like a man. You're like, well, congratulations. I wish there was a pamphlet, something. So I was, the stories were more about me just trying to figure it out.
Yeah. I would do a bit on how I, when I first started going on dates, I couldn't stop saying the word gay date. And I can say, like, have you ever been on a gay date? Like, why don't you be saying that?
You mean a date? So yeah, it was a lot of awkwardness. Yeah, it was like at the beginning, you're like a straight person, like pretending to know things. Yeah.
I can't believe we're on this gay date together. These people around us know we're on a gay date. Yeah. It's everybody cool over here.
And I also did the thing I think people do early on and stand up and I was very self-deprecating. I still am to an extent, but not nearly. You went real hard on yourself. I was very hard.
Because I just assumed that I was, you know, getting up on stage, being a bigger girl, being a lesbian, having this southern accent, this big hair, I was already thinking my head what they were going to be thinking about me. So I was like, I'm going to just, like, beat them to it, you know, and show that I'm okay with myself to make them feel okay with me. And so in the beginning, I think a lot of my stand up was sort of defined by that self-deprecation. Yeah.
Do you remember, I feel like every comic in their first couple years has a look like joke that they go to open? What was like your, like, one of your opening look like jokes like when you were saying? I still have one of those. Yeah.
Yeah. My first one was Jonah Hill because he had just done super bad. Oh, I bet that's gross. So one of my first jokes was people were going, Hey, you look just like that kid from super bad.
But I just did one that will be in my special where I say that people say I look like the kid from the Sandlot movies. Oh, nice. Yeah. You can always have one of those.
Oh, I still use, I still have different ones that, because I got it, my haircut is very drastically different look from the other one. Yeah. And my first, one of my first year ones was when I had like more of like my Bob kind of like wavy and like, my, one of those jokes was like, I know what you're all thinking, you know, just another lesbian comic up here. Yeah.
Just like one of those kind of things. Yeah. You just want something that kind of breaks the ice a little bit. Yeah.
But I swear anytime someone posts any video of me, I'm kind of like comedy, any like, bro-ies, I mean, the comments are like, it's the kid from bad Santa. It's just like, so I, I'm like, I'm not just like pulling this out of thin air. Yeah. So why not you addressing a beat up to the bunch?
Yeah. I'm like, yeah, sure. I look at that again. Yeah.
Let's get to my jokes. Yeah. So, but I've tried to be more conscious about not making myself a butt of the joke as I get older and more established in my voice. Sure.
I don't think, yeah, I think the more that you're in it and the longer that you do it, I don't think you need it quite as much. I think it's kind of like, everybody, when you're starting out, you just need any kind of running start and momentum where a super established comics I see when they go up there, they literally just start, well, sometimes they'll start telling a super long form story and have the audience and it's like, oh, well, that's something that's been, they've been nurturing for many years. It's like a new comic. You can't just go out there and be like, no, let me tell you about my life.
It's like, you don't even know what's funny about it. Yeah, we don't care. Yeah, I'm still awkward at the beginning of stand upsets. And I think it's because I'm a similar way in real life when I'm talking.
I'm like, yeah, what's up? Everybody cool. You guys good? Right in here.
So I really am like, yeah, so what do you guys, he was eating jing ting tingers at school. And then finally, I have to just sort of be like, okay, here we go. Yeah. And then it like starts.
Yeah. And especially the comedy store, you can see dudes and be like, oh boy, what is this going to do? What are we in for here? What's bad snare going to do?
And then once I get into material, I'll just sort of go on that autopilot. Yeah. Do you do much like it seems like you're pretty scripted once you start, right? Once I'm locked into a set, I'm pretty scripted.
But when I'm finding my material, I do let it improv. Yeah. I'll do like the set. I'll do like 20 minutes of pretty like to the book of my book or whatever, stand up.
And then I'll be like, where do you guys work? What do you do? I'm kind of riff with the audience for like 15 and then go back into material for the rest of the show. Yeah, I feel like that super, I think every crowd kind of enjoys at least some kind of interactions and point like, oh, we're part of this.
But when I was prepping for, you know, a special, I was very much like, I got around the set. It's got a, I can't interrupt it. That's a discipline thing that I definitely need to work on because I have so much fun. Yeah.
I'm not done it before. I've done two half hours. And I didn't realize how much work the hour is. Yeah.
What was I like like transitioning from like, you're like, okay, I've done two of these half hours. Yeah. And then I just got that. But then that jump to the hour, like I know it's just retaining people's attention and just there's a good flow for that much longer.
Like what's it like? It's a lot of work. I made the half hours seem like nothing. Yeah.
Because both half hours, the comedy central one was essentially 21, 22 minutes. And then the Netflix one was 25 minutes, you know, so you're not even running a full half hour. Yeah. It's almost just like a feature set.
Yeah. And so you're just, you can kind of just get up there and just tell jokes. But I feel like the pressure with the hour these days is, you know, so many people are doing them. You're trying to stand out in some way.
Yeah. You're trying to find a through line. What's the story with the theme? It's not as much about here's a bunch of jokes.
You know, it's like, I'm crap. I'm trying to really hard to craft a story for you that takes you from point eight to point C and we got to go a bunch of, we're going to go a bunch of places together until we come full circle, you know, and that, that was a challenge. Because I had to really like treat my set like a, almost like a football game where you're like, excuse me, where you're like, uh, recording your sets, you're listening to them. You know, the next day, you're like, yeah, like you're like, that worked.
I didn't, okay, this isn't time to that. I was really having to craft it in a way I had not done before. And then to like perform it, you didn't want to run 75 minutes because you're going to most of them cut it down to an hour. So you're like, Oh, boy, 75 minutes now.
Okay. And you just have to hope that people are with you, you know, like you're like, it's going to be a long journey. Yeah. And luckily people were, and, um, and you kind of know when things, once I filmed it, you sort of know what to cut, you know, like I know, I can let this one go for now.
Yeah. But it was, it was a lot of work. And I was so glad to film it. Cause then in my head, I knew that once I went back on the road, I could go back to 25 minutes sets.
Oh, yeah. Like this is a luxury now. Like a dream. Yeah.
Yeah. You said an interesting thing earlier. You said you wish there was a pamphlet for being gay. Like what, like now knowing what you do now, what would be a couple bullet points that you would give somebody?
Yeah. I'm going to make this. Congratulations. Yeah.
God, it's a lot of, uh, most of it pertains to dating. Yeah. And I think that's a lot of, not everyone's, plenty of gay people certainly dated other, you know, people the opposite sex early on and it was awkward, but they did it. And others didn't really date much at all.
I didn't really date much at all. Like I was just, uh, had dates here and there, but not really the object of anyone's affection. So everything that people got to experience as a 16 year old, 17 year old, I was having to figure out as a 26 year old. Yeah.
And it's cute and funny to be an idiot when you're 16 and awkward and, uh, but at 26 we were like, what's wrong with you? We should know by now. We should know how this works. So it's more of just like, you know, like here's some tips.
Uh, first of all, meeting someone's heart, like going up to them, talking at a bar, online dating is the whole thing. What to say, you know, I'm sure I had a lot, you know, paragraphs, you know, you reveal too much. Oh yeah. Paragraphs.
Hey, how are you? Oh, well. I have a lot to say. And, uh, you know, just learning how to play it cool a little bit better.
Yeah. I do that sometimes when I'm texting with, uh, just, just people who I enjoy it. And I catch myself like all send and I'm like, Oh, that was too many words. What up play cool, Jeremiah.
I just do these one sentence responses that you never actually do in real life. That's, that's chill. Yeah. Kind of think back to some of my past relationships and just the lengths of texts I would send and how, how do they not be like this person since they're psycho?
Yeah. You're just, but you're just like learning as you go, you know, and then at some point you just are like, once it's an old hat, you're just kind of like, yeah, you know, dating, it's a whatever. It doesn't have such a end up being. You know, putting such an onus on it.
Yeah. First you're like, this is the most important. It's going to be the end of the world. If I don't get this right.
Yeah. Yeah. So I want to do this next segment that I'm very excited about. And especially since you started groundlings, I think you'll appreciate it.
All right. It's called wig. Wig. All right.
Stage hand. Please come quick. Wow. Was this slow stage?
I know. The slow stage and today. Good grief. They are really just moseying on in here.
Yeah. What is it? It's a pedestrian at a crosswalk. What are we doing over here?
You look good. With my hair in the bottom. So let's figure out who these people are. Yeah.
You know, I think that I love this one. I think that you are you could either be either very royal or you could be somebody who is super white trash trying to live above their means. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Like you got like the the braids and like you think you're you're you're fancy. Yeah. Can we keep the monitor up for a second? So fortune can see what she looks like.
I was looking at the back of your. Oh, is it? I'll just. There we go.
I keep looking at the side of my hair because these braids are cracking me up. You look like the Duchess of Eisengaard. Like one of Thor's cousins. Like like if I were Kaleesi, I would be the like lame version of her.
Maybe my dragons. Oh, gross. Where my dragons? Maybe we can do a game of thrones thing.
Oh sure. Okay. You are basic Kaleesi. Basically.
And I am maybe hipster johnson or something. Yeah, although you look like the you look like the one the one one of the sword makers. Like you know, like a bastard. Yeah.
Who like it turned out that he had royal. Yeah. But he didn't know it. So it was just, you know, boinkin in the barn and stuff.
Yeah. Okay. So, um, but like you want to be cool. I want so I think I'm like like somebody who's trying to impress.
You're trying to impress. Yeah, I'm just like a random bastard. Yeah. You're a random bastard.
That's what it says in my credits. Random bastard by Jeremiah Watkins. They didn't even go for the name. I'm basically your basic Kaleesi.
Basically. You want to run it as one or basically it's cold. It's cold out here. Oh, hey, so, um, like do you want me to fancy you like some kind of fair or something?
Since you're you cold. I love a coat. I mean where I'm from. It's pretty hot.
You drug me here to this winter situation. Yeah, you know, we're trying to prevent the end of the world here. Oh, you know, but you know, I'll, uh, we will kill one of our finest beasts for you to wear it as a coat. That would be lovely.
I hate the end of the world. Oh, so gross. Is there anything I could suffice you with outside of getting your coat? Kaleesi.
Um, I'm hungry. Uh, I love something with no gluten. Everything's like wheat bread. Oh, come on.
What do you guys all bunch of fatty fats? We are just killing what we see fit to eat. That is all we have right now. Okay.
Well, it doesn't taste great. Do you have a favorite kind of food that I could ask for you? Some oat milk. Oat milk.
Oat milk. Kaleesi. I have this random coffee. Something got coffee.
There's a coffee cup here. It doesn't seem to fit this time period. Actually, that's mine. I'm sorry.
I was just hanging out at one of the local shops around here. Oh, okay. Spelt with two peas. Oh, that's cute.
You're cute kind of. Oh, I think I'm just a random bastard. I don't have a name. Oh, really?
I'm so lowly on the totem pole in the village that I was never named actually. I've just always been called bastard everywhere. I went. I like it bastard.
Yeah, it's pretty cool. I'm pretty big deal. Yeah. I'm the queen.
So what's it like being a queen? It's pretty great. People do anything I say and my parents are dead. So that's cool.
Do anything I want. Wait, why did you laugh and say that's cool whenever you said your parents are dead. I don't know my parents because I'm a bastard. True, true.
Well, let me tell you it's not all that's cut out to me because all my other friends when they had rules, I was like, I'm gonna take a bath with my brother. And there were no parents to be like, don't do that. That's not cool. Yeah.
And I was glad out of that freedom. Yeah, it seems like you really know yourself, you know. Yeah, I just, you know, I'm gonna rule the land and I'm gonna do what I want. I want my parents to be like, Hey, you're spending too much money.
Hey, it's not paying bass with your brother. So what will you do if somebody crosses you? Oh, I will kill them. I will stick it.
Oh, I won't stick a knife in their face, but I will tell someone to like knife in face now. I even make people stab their own face. That's how freaking powerful I am. If you commanded me, I would do that right now.
Okay, good. I'm glad to know that you're well. Have your allegiance. Okay, bastard.
You have mine. Good. That is what I mean. I did not mean to say that I please don't hurt me.
Stagger yourself in your face. Yeah. Okay, that's enough. We have there be anything else?
Oh, that was so fun. Yes, we're having such a good time here. Oh, I love bastards. We did that was our scene and scene and scene.
I love bastards. Basic to Lisi is a real bit. That's how you put on my name, Ben. Dragon's.
Get him for me. Hey, dragons. Hey, did you get rid of his carcass? Yeah, excuse me.
This is like this is kind of disgusting. Very nice. The sigh of dead bodies is kind of annoying. So it smells.
So just burn them. Burn them. Burn them. Burn them.
Bury them. creatives. Bury them. Light some incense because it smells gross.
Yeah. I spent six years with the groundlings. Wearing wigs constantly. And I have a giant treasure chest of costume and wigs in my house and I don't get to wear them as much anymore.
You should do an MTV crib segment with all your past wigs and costume edition. There would be some pretty fun characters I think that I would come up with if I just threw on some of these outfits. Yeah, sometimes I find that just certain pieces of wardrobe or certain wigs, well, you'll find the character right away because you're like, oh, this is who this is. Do you have a preference between doing characters and stand up?
Or you like to meld the two? I like to meld the two because when I started doing some of my own headlining weekends, which I'm really excited about. And those shows, I do a mixture of everything. I'll do characters within my stand up.
I'll never go full costume within my stand up because I like to keep those worlds separate. So just to keep that separate, I think doing the character work in full costume and really going for it and then doing just the characters more seamlessly in the stand up. But I don't think I really have a... I think I enjoy stand up just because you get to choose everything.
You get the best of kind of everything. You want to riff? You want to do some characters? That's less the pack in your luggage.
That is very true. I mean, that's another reason why it's like, yeah, I don't want to carry a trunk around with me. Because I've already had to travel everywhere with my sacks and that's a little carry on. Yeah.
That's already hard. I have to check a bag if I travel with my sacks. And as stand ups, that's a luxury if you can fly into a city with just a backpack and a little bag and then you're set for the weekend. Yeah.
Yeah. You know what's up. Let's get into this next segment right after we plug some stuff. You have a podcast and do you have any dates coming up in December that you'd like to plug?
Yeah, I'm doing... I'm going to Florida. What's up Florida? Florida.
Yeah, December 19th. I'm at the Orlando Improv. And then December 20th through 21st at the Tampa Improv. And then ending the year December 27th through 28th in Irvine, California.
Thanks. At the Irvine Improv. Heck yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. So... Toorn. Toornin.
And then I'm coming up with a new tour for next year, but I haven't put it together. You've got to think of the name and all that stuff. Yeah. It's gonna be like a real tour.
Normally I just... You're just like dates. Here's dates. Here you go.
See me if you will. But I do do do a podcast called Sincerely Fortune. If anybody likes to... I don't know.
It's more of a, like it says, sincere version of myself. Sure. Because I am very silly and I joke around a lot and I do, you know, I'm known for being like just kind of ridiculous. And I wanted to sort of challenge myself to dig a little deeper into things and like attempt to not always deflect by making a joke.
Sure. It's certainly funny at times like my mom comes on a lot. Like she just talked about sex a whole episode of sex. Wow.
That my mom maybe... Was it weird to talk to your mom about sex for that long? Very weird. Very weird.
And that's when I reached my first orgasm. You're like, mom, this is... She was saying things like that. So if anybody is into that kind of thing, check it out.
Or not. I'm not the boss of you. Yeah. You do you.
Very hands off. I've got Kansas City December 19th through 21st, Chicago's Enes Roma, Rosemont January 2nd through 4th. And then I added Detroit at the Detroit Shipping Company on January 5th and then February 6th through 8th I'll be in Buffalo, New York at Helium County Club. Woohoo.
Yeah. And Gage wanted me to tell you. Check out his podcast, Refer Sadness. Refer Sadness.
Did I freaking plug that right dude? Yeah. I'm getting the thumbs up. Smoked weed and get sad.
Smoked weed and get sad. Smoked weed and get sad. Told weed and get sad. Welcome back to Refer Sadness.
I'm really sad. I'm really depressed. Oh, I've been smoking so much weed. Oh, just this is sometimes, you know, it's the only cure, you know, is more Mary Jane.
I just want to like disconnect from the world. Yeah. You know what's going on the world? There's like global warming and politics.
Yeah. It rained today. It rained. Don't even get me started.
And so I was just like, I don't want to deal with this. Can I just do some weed? Yeah. The...
Good side every day. That is the official trailer. Yeah, official trailer. We just gave a, okay Gage, you owe the podcast.
Now we did a 30-second act. We did that. Can you believe that's a thousand dollars at the Gage? Now I owed Gage money before this for a lot of things.
Now you don't. Now he owes me. Yeah. And then there's merch.
Get your 2020 Kill Tony Band calendar, as well as you can. And there's some great t-shirts at jeremywattens.com. And if you'd like to sponsor a show or if you want to send some kind of challenge letters, buy email, email jeremywendersedgmail.com. Boom.
I do this segment called the kindness challenge. Let's get into that. Let's get into it. Get into it.
I do this thing called the kindness challenge where I ask people to send in letters basically of something nice that they've done for somebody I challenge everybody every week. And as well as myself to do something nice for somebody. That's great. A stranger can be somebody that you know as long as you're contributing something positive to society and keeping that going.
Yeah, like that a lot. Can you think of anything in the last couple months that might constitute like, oh, I kind of did this. I had nothing for nobody. No.
I don't know. Oh. It can be any personal relationships, family stuff. I mean, I sort of try to do things for my mom on a pretty regular basis.
That counts for sure. She's a single mom. She has been since I was 12. And I think when you get older and you have a single parent because my dad me married.
So I don't worry about him as much. But when you have a single mom, you feel a little bit more obligated towards them. And so I try to, you know, she was a teacher and she's retired. So try to help her out here and there.
It's like a bill is expensive or, you know, she's has a dental emergency here, you know, something like that. Yeah. You know, but that stuff pops up on her fairly regular basis. He has like, yeah, I'm going this kind of challenging a lot of my mom.
He was kind of exhausting with family. Kind of daily. It's not even a challenge anymore. It's just, yeah, the kindness routine of course, and kind of reality.
So I call her my charity. I wish I could incorporate her and get a tax right. It's just a section that the giant caps says mom. Mom incorporate my mom.
You're paying this out to mom and corporate thousands of dollars fortune. We really need to look at your spending house. So she'll be like, every now and then, what are you going to get more famous? I'd really like a new house.
Like what's her bar for fame? Because I feel like I would be buying her house. Well, okay. I guess more so what are like some of the benchmarks that you've had that she kind of recognized?
Because family has very different benchmarks from what you and I and other comedians and entertainers. Yeah. I mean, I think, well, I worked so many years of not being on anything. And they're all like, what are you doing out there?
Yeah. Why don't you go to grad school? And where you originally from? I'm from North Carolina.
Yeah, that's right. So probably not at Chelsea. It was a first big benchmark because they finally saw me on television. And they're like, oh, I guess you are a comedian.
And then like when I booked like the office Christmas party, it was a small part. But they got to sit in theater. You're very funny. Oh, thank you.
But they got to go to a movie theater and watch it. And it's hard to get movies in the movie theaters these days. Yeah, especially with all the streaming opportunities. Yeah.
Because I still don't think my family thinks Netflix is a big deal. It isn't all the rest of the world. But they're just like, unless it's like on a, you know, CBS or a movie theater. Sure.
They're like, I don't, what are you talking about? Yeah. Yeah. So why are you such an alternative to meeting him?
Not my brothers. They obviously know it's more like my parents. Yeah. They don't have Netflix.
No, we don't subscribe. That's your credit card information. We can't give them that. So I think I've hit milestones that they don't realize are milestones.
Yeah. Oh, the next one. Cool. Very good.
And tell you about me, how? Yeah. You're still trying to make it. Yeah.
You're still an up and camera. Let's get into this next segment. Oh, so something that I tried to do recently. I'll be vague about it.
But sometimes I'll shoot shows like when I'm on the road. And if I'm with somebody, I'll try to take their sets. And I edited a set for somebody that was pretty time consuming recently that I was like, and that's hard for me to do because I'm not. It takes just to sit down and edit.
Yeah. Like, gay, do freaking know what's up dude. It's like, it's like, okay, I'm going to have to get in the right mindset. So that's what I challenge.
That was my challenge earlier in the week. I'm like, I'm going to do this for a buddy. And they got some good tape out of it. So hopefully that'll help them book some stuff.
Yeah. That's a real good friend right there. There you go. This next segment is called Fanning Out.
Fanning Out. Fanning Out. Questions from fans. We just look off.
Yes, it is. Yes, it is. That's the name. That's it.
There's graphics and stuff that we put up. But it looks like we look crazy, like waiting for it. It's like. And here comes the fan.
So I reached out to people online and I said, have you guys fortunate any questions? What would it be? Or give us any character suggestions of stuff that we might want to improvise together? Okay.
And these are some of the stuff. There's always those jerks out there. It's like Google. They're like, they're like, who's that man?
There's fortunes kind of in a big U.S. name. Forch and female. Yeah, you tell me.
What is fortune? I'm all woman. Oh, girl. I'm all woman.
Don't get more woman. Oh, yes. Short underscore and underscore stats. And I'm excited for this one.
Did you always have this sort of energy or was it something that you adopted starting comedy? I wonder if they mean my laid back energy or positive energy? Maybe both. Just the way because I think the way you're on stage and even how you are right now, it's like it's super laid back and then like, it's like a slobber knock or punch line.
Don't touch the face. Yeah. Thank you. Punch.
I've been laid back my whole life for sure. Part of it said I'm Southern. So I'm talking slower and I'm like, my mom said, even when I was before I was born, when they would check my heart rate while she was pregnant with me in the hospital, the nurses said I had a slow heartbeat. So they said to her that they're like, you're either going to have a boy or a lazy girl.
So I'm not lazy. I work very hard, but I do have this like kind of mosey. But you make it look easy. I make it look, yeah.
I'm always talking like 15 things at a time. They delivered you're doing congratulations. It's a lazy girl. You're just like, wow.
Wow. Wow. College, I was like a social butterfly and people just assumed I was not much of a student because I was I don't care about what's hanging out with people. Right.
