Are you hearing some of these weird cracks that are really freaking me out a couple times? It's happened I didn't want to say anything Okay, one of them happened over there and then one of them just happened up on the ceiling and like At first I thought it was you know an old building that was just kind of settling That was not it was a very specific noise It sounds almost as if you're moving the lights and it's like the plastic like somebody's moving stuff underneath It's the daytime comedy club ghost dude. Do you believe in ghosts? Man, I wish I did but I just have a hard time with it the camera starts levitating 349 you say this is what is the number of the David what what is 349 what does that implicate us 349 that's when you draw this star the three the four to nine is the steps the steps one one two three four nine We did a big jump from four to nine.
So got it. I'm not following us. That's how we count. It's where I'm from Okay, so we're probably on Europe.
I'm going right into the Jeremiah wonders program With my friend and soon to be yours one of my favorite comedians who is working in the Texas scene right now He has opened for me in multiple clubs. He is coming out soon on one of the stand-up on the spots in Texas And I'm very excited to introduce you to my friend Joyce with ladies and gentlemen. Hello everybody I hope you're having a underbought day and I'm excited to see you. Yes good to be here Not really sure how long we'll really do this for yes, these boys can I can feel it slipping There's a problem with me as soon as I start to do this kind of voices They don't want to leave me once I start doing the voice.
It's like it's hard for me to stop doing it Make sure you come to this at Jeremiah Watkins rally So how are you doing? I'm great man. Thanks for having me. I'm very stoked to be here.
Yeah, dude We're on the road. So right now we are in hyenas County Club We're here during the day before the shows enjoy was nice enough to Guest on the pod while I'm on the road on the road a crazy amount right now So I'll probably doing a couple podcasts on the road right now figured we would we're sitting in an empty Comedy club. It's almost kind of eerie being in a comedy club during the day. Yeah, it's you're not supposed to be here This is no, this is like yeah when the ghosts are like spirits are resting.
Yeah, right now They don't like being disturbed. No, we're gonna start seeing orange email cards flying around drink specials Yeah, yeah, yeah, the ranch water. Yeah, sometimes I don't think this club is doing it But sometimes I think I've talked to you about this that there will be like it's the Jeremiah Watkins special or and it's like some Drink that is super heavy and alcoholic a long island I see or something like that and I'm like did you guys not do any research on I don't even drink at all and you're naming drink specials after me at The club I could do it like a chicken wing order something like something that I actually like it I feel like a great Jeremiah Watkins like drink special would be like a Capri Sun Dude, like we normally don't carry these but Jeremiah's in town and we got the Capri Sun Um, y'all we got some you who's that are chilling in the freezer right now So if you want a you who milkshake then that is one of the Jeremiah Watkins specials And here's what special about the you who's y'all is there's no dairy in them So you can be like toads and taller ants than you can still drink it. Did you just say lactose frogs that are not allowed to drink milk and Toddler ants.
Oh Toddler ants. Okay, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, I'm into that You you ever watch national geographic because it's kind of a loophole to porn You know what I mean? My grandma used to do that where she'd be watching monkeys have sex and stuff like that And it felt more like a loophole to her like, you know, having those sexual feelings and urges like she wasn't looking at full-blown porn But she was watching the animals have a good time so therefore she might have been having a good time I feel like people who do that and they're like no, it's it's nature They're the same people that like have bad like wartime propaganda.
They're like, no, it's history That symbol is kind of graphic History and this is just nature they do this in nature It's natural it's natural geographic. That's the name. Yeah, and after this we're gonna learn about aliens the same channel Did you ever used to a read a reader's digest? Do you remember that said the yellow is no That old-school magazine kind of do you remember those at all?
I don't think so. Maybe it was more How does the national publication maybe slightly how old are you 27? It might be right right before but it was my grandma Who's super into it? So, you know, I mean it might have been right before right before your time I could buy a day But there were some people who I used to go to church with that like their big claim to fame was Published to I got published in readers digest.
So I'm a writer and it would be like these these very small things But like they were super proud of the credit credit. Hey, man. You got to get your credit is where you can There's a there's a new open Mike in Austin. That's livestreamed on public access TV.
Why would you ever? ever live stream an open Mike that sounds like the worst idea ever I like three in the morning on public access TV and It's a credit. That's a credit guy people use it. I haven't like seen anyone use it seriously But people have been like guys it's on TV guys.
It's technically this is what we're doing here If as soon as IMDB approves this this is a real deal. We're gonna put on Amazon Prime, too We're gonna it's gonna be $4,000 for an episode So I would say joy that you are one of the staples of the San Antonio comedy scene. Would you agree with that? I don't know about coming from I mean this is coming from an outsider This is me looking in coming from somebody who visits town and who kind of sees you know who Who's working in the scene and who's working hard and who people were expecting stuff like that?
Yeah, yeah, no staple is a really strong term. I think I'm also like the paperclip of this scene Okay, so it's like it's really only yeah, I'm holding it together if it becomes too much I bail out But yeah, no Stress won't be meant to be like this is what I signed up for leave then Yeah, no, there's not many of us I would say realistically like the amount of real working comics that there aren't San Antonio's Product 1520 somewhere on there and then a lot of us just left and moved Austin so sure so there's a good amount I mean Austin's crazy competitive, so it's nice to have San Antonio kind of in my back pocket So yeah, what's that like right now because would you consider? You know the big exodus to Austin Where did you move at the time when everybody was moving there or a little bit afterwards or it was a little bit after that first wave of like Everyone from Boston in California and kind of like they had all kind of settled in and then I showed up It was already like alright. We just fought all these people off and then now you're showing up But it's like I'm down from down the street man.
Yeah, practically neighbors with you So you can't be a little bit of slack here. Yeah, that's cool dude So yeah, man. I've been really impressed working with you over the last few weekends that we've done And we've been have some good shows out here and in for work Texas and for whatever reason I don't do it I hope that like this isn't like something that I'm attracting or if it's just something that is happening to me But like you've witnessed some pretty freaking rowdy shows recently It was I mean, I'm not gonna lie I texted a couple people afterwards Like you're not gonna believe what happened. Yeah, but uh, but no, yeah It was the first show was it was almost like they were blackout drunk at 7 p.m.
Or 8 30 p.m. Yeah I'm like how you get his drunk this early in the night Is anybody staying with them? No, how old are they? They're three.
Yeah, time the nap out perfect Yeah, I also took a little bit of their medicine. That's why I'm a little bit different If they wake up they're just staying to the rapture took place and everybody's got dude I used to be that much in fear as a kid where if I woke up and my parents weren't Accessible right away. I thought the rapture had happened and I was stuck here and they had gone to heaven and I was still stuck on earth Well, how old are you? Oh little kid little kid Yeah, see my my thought process when things like that would happen would be like oh my mom finally left my dad Not because they had a bad marriage you just threatened it all the time.
I was like actually finally did it go for her What was that something that you that she would threaten it like family dinners and stuff like that? Oh, yeah I was only there's there's like all she should be like I'll take half of everything and he'd be like just straight up like that Like right to the hole and then he would say he would say do it. You'll spend the money in a week So your parents are not still together well my dad passed but they were together the entire time of Yeah, it was so fine. My dad would be on his death bed.
He'd be like I'll pay you to go away I'll pay you to leave me alone, please Wow greeting death with open arms You know, I just want some quiet please how long since he passed? March will be coming March will be three years. Okay. What did what he passed from a cancer?
Okay? Yeah, it was a bad one too. It was crazy, but not the good kind yeah Well, I mean maybe it may I mean some men may think it's cool when he died his balls were the size of my head Really which some guys may that may be coveted I mean Your gas station pills are not doing this. Yeah, this is the real right now.
It's a hell or whatever blue blue chew wishes they could get my dad on contract Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's crazy Does that does cancer run in your family at all? Yeah, yeah every every dude in my family starting with my grandpa has passed from prostate cancer So you're at least aware and on the lookout. Yeah, I started getting like prostate check So they started super early I get my get all my testing done every six months. Yeah, it happens which it will you know hopefully we'll catch it Yeah, yeah When I this is completely different, but when I had I had stage two melanoma It was weird because nobody my family has a history with it all so really came kind of like out of nowhere But luckily caught it, you know in the right amount of yeah, yeah, yeah, dang dude.
That's crazy So what about your wife does anything run her family? No, not you know just I mean our family both have like different like health like there's some high cholesterol still in my family But I don't really know what what her I can't really claim her family's issues on this podcast Well, why did I would just want to make sure the king was set up for he's gonna That thing's gonna be not a chance nothing's coming in the way of that health. Oh, he's he's a big boy It's like a Nordic king. Yeah, my son.
Yeah, he definitely right now looks like he is gonna grow up and be on Game of Thrones That's crazy dude. Yeah, he's very very blonde very he doesn't have blue eyes anymore But he has like it's kind of hazily can eyes. What do you mean anymore? It's weird So when this is something that I you know, I'm a new dad I'm figuring out along the way the eye color that they're born with does not stay always Isn't that weird yeah like piercing blue eyes like when he was born and they're not there anymore They shift sometimes sometimes the eye color stays but then it sometimes like like shifts into the eye color Did they're gonna actually be born with so you gotta pray before you go to bed or else you wake up you have different color eyes You're meant anybody that has one color different eye not a person I had a dog that had that though.
Oh, I had a buddy who has different color eyes and it's really interesting because you don't know Which one to look at it's kind of like the lazy idea When you meet somebody you're like which do you want me to look at like do you want me to be progressive and look directly at the lazy Eye or do you want me to look at the functioning one that's not looking over here? Yeah, that's that's a hard one cuz just get an eye patch already, please It's an inconvenience society and all of us. We don't know what you want to look at just put a freaking patch over that Yeah, you gotta take care number one first. Yeah, I patch pro, okay.
Yeah, so when did you start doing a commie? So December will be four years for me. So I think it's like 2018 December 2018 Were you one of those people who crushed it at their first open mic or bombed? It was a little 50 50 because I just I just told a story about going shopping with felons now Do you still use that joke anywhere in your act?
No, I never really was able to make it into a joke It's just the first time doing comedy. I just went up there and told the story It's got like very natural punch lines in it The set ups are really long to them though, but it was just something where I don't I could mess with it And I have told the story on stage before yeah like last incident then but yeah that was just kind of those things I was like alright, I'm just gonna go up there tell that story if I hate the feeling I'll never do it again Yeah, but I loved it sounds like how big is your family? It's me my sister my brother and mom and you know you guys close not at all Yeah, shout out to the Smith's I mean I'm probably the closest with my sister's my sister's a normal person to it's like she's got a family Normal human behavior. I mean that's always nice to have a sibling that you can call and talk to that you're like isn't everything else so crazy around us You know like just like something to bounce somebody bounce off of I feel like that's kind of like my sister and I sometimes like well like Talking like yeah, this is going on with yeah.
Yeah, yeah everything at home. Yeah, and then my brother's 40 He lives at home with my mom still doesn't have a car I do have a joke about how he spent $2,000 on a replica proton back what what what is that? What do you mean the Ghostbusters? Oh my yeah?
Yeah, yeah, you spent like two grand on one, but he doesn't own a car So he just I said it was because he thinks my dad is haunting him, but my dad didn't like him when he was alive Oh That's a lot of money. Yeah, what's what is something that you have purchased? Are you a purchaser of anything that is like a dumb like extravagant thing ever? Man, I gotta tell you I was at best by the other day and I had nine PS5s in there And I took one and I just sat it on the counter and I just stared at the box for like 45 minutes And they're like we have a credit line.
I was like it's not about the money It's about whether or not I should do this yeah, and I just stared at it and I was like I just don't have the time No, it's you're like this will affect my comedy in a negative way a thousand percent That's why I didn't when I first moved to Los Angeles My brother offered to give me the console that we were playing with back in Kansas, and I was like bro I can't I literally cannot do this because I have to focus I know that I'll play this a lot if I bring it out there Yeah, it's a problem and something like it's so addicting for me personally like sometimes I work from home and sometimes I'll put the game on and like start playing it. I was supposed to be working right now. Oh, yeah, so I had to like put it in It's another real legit issue. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I have a very addictive personality.
All right, there's nothing weird about I mean a lot of people who are in comedy have somewhat of an addictive Personality you can either use that to drive your career and fuel it or you know a lot of communities have different vices that they get really heavily Into like a long away and then they get kind of sloppy and then comedy doesn't really progress It's the harder they lean into anything else other than being addicted to comedy the less comedy they end up yeah Yeah, you really have to be like no This is the feeling that I love is like you know coming up with a punchline or a tagline like just right there in the moment It's like I live for that you know like that's the that's the feeling I want I don't want the drugs to make me feel like that I want like that's that's it so for me It's like I'll go do four five things in a night and that's yeah, that's good enough for me I Have gotten a little bit better over the years of if I have a really really good set To try not to force a set at an additional spot Oh, does that make sense? Yeah, cuz I used to be like no no no I'll do five six spots a night and like third spot in it would be like an amazing set I'm like I do one more that last one. It's always like it's like going to the casino and like betting on black one more time Like I've already hit it's like it's not gonna end well That was me after stand up on the spot because I had a mic in this room We did stand up on spot in the red room and then in here They were doing the mic and there's like five or six people in here And I'm like do you want to do this and I'm like I'm gonna tell you the truth I'm riding the highest high I've ever had and I'm gonna just stick with that so I Loved your Santa ball and spots that that should be out within the next month or so hopefully month or two And yeah, you had a crush over set and I really wanted to showcase different Texas comics and you were one of them That I was like, oh man I gotta get Joey on this cuz I just love I love the way your brain works and the way you riff and stuff like that So we thank you man. No, I I was fortunate enough to be at the stand up on the spot at moon tower that Shane Gillis did I even fight ants and Trevor Wallace absolutely fantastic line about a blast at the show and I had gotten to sit fairly close when Shane was up and Just watching him do that said I was like dude.
I hope I get to do the show one day And I got to do it. That's because he was a thank you And that was such a cool moment for me. It's a full circle. Yeah, dude that moon tower show was it was a pretty special one I mean, it's it's one of those things where I that lineup like when we shot it was kind of right before a bunch of those Comics really started hitting and then like yeah a bunch of those sets Yeah, I really fun to watch but yeah, I'm excited for people to see your set on that one so comes out I think it'll be really good for you.
He'll be dope. Yeah, that's honestly doing that I was kind of like man. Do I hate stand-up comedy? I just love improv Oh, no, that's the thing with like riffing and stuff like that is sometimes Me I've had habits over the years that I've had to break where I'm like oh I'm being too riffy on some of these shows where I gotta work on some of my jokes now But I try to balance it in the hour now that I do like on the road where it's like you know I'm doing crowd working riffing but there's like the main chunk of the show is still material Yeah, the riffing with no material is is a blast.
I really like riffing in the material too though I just kind of like you know bring up the setup or whatever Yes, but that's for some reason that's so much harder than not having a topic to riff You know what I mean? Like you're just like I'm gonna riff on this particular joke and that or if you're just like oh, yeah watermelons Let me tell you about those. Yeah, I have an opinion on those things. Yeah Yeah, did you go?
Do you your family grow up religious anything like that? No, we went I think we went to Catholic Church like three times my whole life every time the mortgage company was send a letter We'd go to Catholic Church. So what do you mean by that? They would be like I forget take your house Yeah, we'd go pray to God.
Yeah, yeah, we go pray and then you know my dad would get like a random bonus or something shut up Obama and We wouldn't lose we wouldn't lose the house But yeah, that was always like I was always so funny because I could see right through it You know, I mean I was like you guys are doing we're gonna leave here You're gonna go be the worst people in the world You know you're gonna go pawn your wedding rings for that TV or whatever Yeah, I knew that I didn't really fully understand religion when I used to treat God kind of as a genie like I used to pray to him for like literally like gang ears and So I got if you want me to have this every pretty cool man You know, I mean like not understanding the concept of God as a kid at all like you pray and like people say things happen, right? You know like that's that's what I want to believe Man, I remember the first time I prayed like for real like I've I need this for real like was down underneath like do the whole thing Yeah crying the whole thing was that some chick told me she might be pregnant. I was like 16 Oh my goodness, and I was just like at the time. I thought I had a football career which is hilarious by the way I'm just so funny.
I'm five eight I was like five eight then yeah, but I was like my football career is over Just you know, she wasn't pregnant But it was just at the in that moment like a week later. I look back on that I was like dude you gotta do better You gotta do you you're having sex with 16. Yeah. Wow.
Yeah, I'm supervising and this is my family's like this You don't do you man? I'm better than supervising. Yeah, yeah I'm like all right. That's our boy.
He's gonna go pro and football 16 dude Wow, that's a man here to like barely figuring yourself out at that age. Yeah, yeah It was not the smartest thing I've ever done for sure, but you know did you have a sex ed class at your school or anything Dude, I'm from this tiny small town called shirts, Texas shirts. Yeah, it's C. H.
E. R. T. Z They their their sex ed was on They brought in the projector it was the kind where you like laid the clear plastic over the thing It was like project it.
Yeah, yeah So it's just one of those and it was like an outline of a penis and an outline of a vagina And then they were like hey just shower you guys got to be showering So like most of our sex ed was about personal hygiene to be on your son awesome Whoa, and then it was such a small town like you know you're 16 You're bored, you know, I mean like that was mainly what was going on There's just nothing to do in that town. Yeah, and they yeah, I mean we graduated high school and then they built a skate park It's like the size of this stage, so did yours get oh, dude I was always the fat friend that was just happy to be there right Awesome I could keep up with the guys on the board if we were just like riding or like bomb the hills whatever but as soon as they were like Like leave the ground like what maybe what you're crazy. I remember there was I don't know I mean maybe this is just a spread awareness or whatever But there was a gay man who came to my high school who gave a speech. There's like hi.
I have AIDS literally was like Like AIDS is a very Mysterio type thing like and he's like I've been living with AIDS for 20 years or whatever And it was just like basically, you know them trying to combat the idea that if you get AIDS like you're dying right away Yeah, there's still even in the 2000s like in the Midwest like you know AIDS all right That's a death wish that kind of thing and he's like you can be gay and there's things like it was like is it like pretty like for the Midwest Pretty liberal. Yeah, yeah pretty progressive And I remember watching this being like shocked because I went to private Christian school and I'm like this isn't saying This is some next level stuff right here. This place is hardcore the girls are they got their boobs to have this No one's in uniform. This place is just anarchy.
This is what anarchy feels like Anyway, I was gonna say what were the other biggest shocks gone to the the public school Just how much more attractive everybody was Dude, I thought I was like hot at my private Christian and then I went to the public school and I was like Oh, dude, there's like like like all these girls here are so much hotter than our hottest girl at the school And then also I looked around and I'm like dude why do all these teenagers have six packs and stuff and they're like freaking ripped Like I just you know what I mean like like real you you see like the whole society all of sudden you're like oh This is where I'm actually at like in like in the scale of things you Everything I thought I was like the best athlete ever was your sport basketball mainly in soccer nice But then like when I started going to public school like the skill levels on another level Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, they have like real funding for the sports programs. I got the jerseys and the yeah What was the Christian school? I was like just hand me downs for 20 years kind of thing They I mean the jerseys were not renewed every year It was definitely one of those things where you you know and I think now that's more common back in the day It used to be like old jerseys that you would like maybe get lucky to pick certain numbers and something like that I guess it's more common But I think with basketball with the way things are now I think they probably get jerseys that are brand new every year and so I know that when I was in high school We are at least I was on the freshman basketball team right and there you didn't get cut from the fresh The freshman basketball team just made like the B team or whatever You know freshman played together and we we played this game up in Austin as a lake Travis And I had just stretched my ear lobes to be like it like a zero yeah Yeah, I just got a zero which is about the size of your the tippy your pinky, right?
So so that was like fresh in there now when you do that you can't just take those out right away They heal up pretty quick. Yeah, they heal up they stretch that you know if they're really not ready They may bleed you never really know right so I get to this game and I had like shoulder length hair So I tried to cover my ears with my hair one of the refs sees the the plugs in he's like you guys take those out and I was like All right, man, so I took them out and my ears just profusely started bleeding So I go to the bathroom I'm using the jersey to like stop the bleeding on both sides like this and then like I look down in the jersey is covered in blood The pants are covered in blood from you wiping it on the pants and I'm like I ruined this uniform This is so bad and then I was talking to someone a couple weeks later They're like amen who's mustiest uniform is this it just had the blood never came out It was just they're just brown blood stains all over the uniform and they're like who wore 55 last game and I was just like I Don't think I want to play basketball anymore to be I got a football career. Yeah, dude I would love this if they made that like an urban legend that happened, you know with that jersey Oh, you didn't hear oh He was ground into the floor like hamburger meat one time with all both teams trampling over him because he missed such a bad shot They're both teams stomped on him to death and he bled out in the jersey. Yeah, so happens when you miss your free throws One free throw missed you'll get cut not only figuratively but literally at this high school They're just standing there standing next to the free throw line like a little box cutter.
