1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000 Tanner, what's good? 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,840 I'll take that as you're doing pretty good. I'm okay. Yeah. Yeah, just okay 3 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:19,720 It's it's the middle of the week and I'm making videos. We need more videos. It's always more videos 4 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:25,160 Well, I'm happy. We finally got to sit down. I mean, I know you've been busy over the past couple of weeks 5 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,760 What types of videos have you been working on? Oh, I've been doing I 6 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,920 I've been doing some more hacking tools. I've been doing it's a lot of garbage 7 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,000 Honestly, not not the videos themselves are garbage, but the things in the videos are garbage. It's to the point now 8 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,680 I think where logistics 9 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:50,440 Just doesn't bother to track any of the stuff I bring in I'd say about 60% of the stuff that's brought in just doesn't 10 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:57,020 Get an asset tag doesn't get put into the inventory system because as they say it's more Tanner garbage 11 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,240 But yeah, I also got a new computer from Japan that I'm really looking forward to 12 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:10,080 Okay, and we're doing a video on that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and you know, I don't I 13 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,040 Don't know if it's going to be it just on that one. I'm not sure yet 14 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,520 But I do want to switch over to this laptop as like my full-time laptop 15 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,120 At least for a little bit to see what it's like because it's got some real neat features to it 16 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,360 I'm also working on Another thing that's 17 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,120 Taking the idea of a mining rig, but then just applying it elsewhere 18 00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:40,640 So I'm I'm really looking forward to that and of course I've got my wall of printers 19 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,720 Wall of printers wall printers Well, it's a wall 20 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:52,640 There are printers It's a series of shelves really because you can't just put printers directly on the wall 21 00:01:52,640 --> 00:02:00,920 They don't have that mounting capability But there is their shelves in front of the wall that and on the shelves are a lot of printers 22 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:06,560 And I'm still trying to find time to go through the 5000 pages of blank paper 23 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,280 We have to make it not blank paper to find out. What's the deal with printers? 24 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,880 But yeah, I'm really excited for that one. It should be really good 25 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:20,000 There's always a new printer model out. That's just a slight variation on another printer model 26 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,000 It's the point where Jamie used to work 27 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,600 for Geek Squad and he came along and said, oh, I know that printer and it was 28 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,760 the exact same printer that he had sold people ten years ago 29 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:41,320 but The model number was off by two so it sounds like you've got a lot of different types of videos going on 30 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:48,100 Yeah, here. I feel like the writers they have kind of a specialty focus, you know Alex has cooling and laptops ploof has 31 00:02:48,540 --> 00:02:55,780 Displays and keyboards. Where do you feel your specialty is? Oh, I've I've fallen into a couple different categories. So 32 00:02:57,140 --> 00:02:59,820 Garbage consumer electronics that we buy a lot of 33 00:03:00,340 --> 00:03:03,060 if we're buying if we're buying 12 of something and 34 00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:09,420 Each item costs less than a hundred dollars. There's probably 90% chance it's coming to my desk. I 35 00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:14,260 get a lot of the used stuff if 36 00:03:14,980 --> 00:03:18,900 There's older things that we're looking at that aren't 37 00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:23,860 Extremely technically detailed Then that's 38 00:03:23,860 --> 00:03:28,500 That's my area. So good example would be the Mac server 39 00:03:28,660 --> 00:03:32,380 There's a lot that you can say about a Mac server, but at the end of the day, you don't need 40 00:03:33,260 --> 00:03:41,060 Super fine detailed information on exactly what was happening with the processor or anything like that. So that's that's 41 00:03:41,780 --> 00:03:44,260 My area of specialty there 42 00:03:45,460 --> 00:03:47,740 What else do we have? Oh, yeah 43 00:03:48,580 --> 00:03:54,540 Console dev kits. I do most of those. We're starting to run out of console dev kits to look at 44 00:03:55,340 --> 00:03:59,060 I've got One on my shelf for sure 45 00:04:00,260 --> 00:04:05,060 I've also been the guy who's been ordering a lot of stuff from Japan lately 46 00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:11,780 so That's one area of tech that we haven't really looked at a whole lot. So I'm starting to 47 00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:18,460 Chisel out that mine, right? Like you're you're starting to learn katakana and stuff. Just oh, I mean 48 00:04:19,540 --> 00:04:26,740 Katakana is not really something you have to learn just keep an alphabet beside your desk and then sound out the words and hope they're English 49 00:04:28,340 --> 00:04:31,060 Actual Japanese don't that I don't speak it 50 00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:35,500 The only things I really know how to say or what Tashi was the kind of this 51 00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:38,100 What did that mean? I am a fish 52 00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:45,660 What yeah, I took one Japanese class in a high school 53 00:04:47,180 --> 00:04:53,340 And the people I was taking it with we were also rewatching we were watching Red Dwarf as well and 54 00:04:55,220 --> 00:05:00,260 I think at one point about a quarter of the class just filled in an entire test with 55 00:05:00,860 --> 00:05:08,060 What Tashi was the kind of desk over and over again. There's just a really weird Red Dwarf reference, I guess the teacher did not understand it 56 00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:14,220 And that is the only thing that stuck because they guess writing something over and over again 57 00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:21,020 You know 200 times it just cements it into your brain. So now I have a core memory based around a 58 00:05:22,460 --> 00:05:26,660 Couple words of Japanese that are never useful speaking about writing 59 00:05:26,780 --> 00:05:30,140 What types of videos get you the most excited to write about? Oh 60 00:05:31,820 --> 00:05:38,300 The videos I'm most excited to write about are the ones where I get to just deep dive into something 61 00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:45,260 It doesn't really matter what it is if there's a lot more to a story that I can I can really dig into then 62 00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:50,380 That's where my mind just starts racing. You know if I can find a 63 00:05:51,380 --> 00:05:57,820 Circuit board nobody's really looked at very closely and I can see the screen printing and I can use the screen printing to track down some more 64 00:05:57,980 --> 00:06:07,380 Information and use that to find you know a guy's LinkedIn I follow the LinkedIn to another company and the other company has another thing going on and all kind of works back and maybe maybe a group of 65 00:06:07,380 --> 00:06:13,660 Employees left one company to go form another company and that group of employees worked on this thing and you can see the 66 00:06:14,420 --> 00:06:19,740 Influence of this item on this item and then I can just kind of make that flow 67 00:06:19,740 --> 00:06:25,980 It makes for a much better video. It makes for a bunch better shoot. It makes for a lot harder B-roll 68 00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:35,240 B-roll becomes a lot harder to get on those ones But the actual filming time is significantly less than a vlog for example 69 00:06:35,580 --> 00:06:43,020 The amount of time that it takes to actually review a script goes way down because I can just when I get into a flow 70 00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:45,020 I feel like my writing has 71 00:06:46,060 --> 00:06:49,700 morphed into the TT manner 72 00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:53,140 That is required and 73 00:06:53,140 --> 00:07:00,660 So yeah, when I can kind of just dive in I get I get that flow state where it the words are just coming out the way that they 74 00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:06,020 Need to you know, I can get 1,500 words out easily on I don't know the 75 00:07:06,380 --> 00:07:11,460 the history of this dash cam or the history of you know, this children's toy or 76 00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:14,580 Whatever, it's the hardest part about being a writer 77 00:07:15,580 --> 00:07:22,940 Oh I mean the writing part is easy like I can write a script now and I don't know 78 00:07:23,540 --> 00:07:26,620 It'll take me about four or five hours to write a 79 00:07:27,540 --> 00:07:32,700 1,500 to 2,000 word script that I feel is pretty solid will make a decent video 80 00:07:33,020 --> 00:07:38,660 that gets like 1.5 to 2 million views sometimes they go up to like 3.5, but 81 00:07:39,420 --> 00:07:44,300 Sometimes that's just out of my control the algorithm does what it wants the people do what they want and 82 00:07:44,580 --> 00:07:48,940 The news cycle does what it wants if a video matches up with a news cycle then 83 00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:53,900 views will just trickle in quickly more flood, but 84 00:07:54,460 --> 00:07:56,460 the actual difficult parts of 85 00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:59,500 being a writer here is 86 00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:08,180 Sort of just managing every step of the process because I need to make sure that the things that we're ordering are the exact things 87 00:08:08,180 --> 00:08:11,580 I need and that I haven't made a mistake. They're not making a mistake 88 00:08:11,940 --> 00:08:17,380 The seller is not making a mistake the things that we get in are exactly the right things because there have been some 89 00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:20,820 Some instances where like if we're buying something off eBay 90 00:08:20,820 --> 00:08:28,860 I will need an exact model of something that's 15 years old and it looks the exact same as 91 00:08:29,820 --> 00:08:32,460 The model that was released three months before it 92 00:08:33,740 --> 00:08:38,340 So the seller puts the title of that item on the wrong 93 00:08:38,980 --> 00:08:43,620 Thing and we end up getting the wrong item and it's like you can't hold anybody 94 00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:48,420 You accountable for that because these are all honest mistakes you you can get a refund 95 00:08:48,420 --> 00:08:55,220 That's not going to get your time back You know so I got to make sure that the procurement part is going well 96 00:08:55,220 --> 00:08:59,020 And that I've got all the information I need from from them 97 00:08:59,020 --> 00:09:03,180 I got to make sure that I have all of the the items I need at any given time 98 00:09:03,180 --> 00:09:08,780 I've got to make sure that once the video is filmed that the the b-roll is all 99 00:09:09,580 --> 00:09:17,580 Making sense. I got to make sure that the editor understands what I meant by certain things if we're getting into really technical details of like oh 100 00:09:18,780 --> 00:09:22,260 You need to zoom in on this exact chip on this 101 00:09:23,060 --> 00:09:25,460 daughter board attached here 102 00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:30,540 You know that can be kind of difficult to do with with words and images 103 00:09:30,580 --> 00:09:37,940 Don't always make it through all of our workflows so I've got to start writing in words of open this document and look at this image and 104 00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:43,020 My keyboard only has four hotkeys on it anymore 105 00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:45,900 because yeah the I 106 00:09:47,260 --> 00:09:56,980 Guess a great example is Yesterday I did a shoot the script review took 40 minutes the actual shoot itself took an 107 00:09:57,780 --> 00:10:06,380 Hour hour and a half very quick shoot the b-roll just the guidance to tell the camera people 108 00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:12,060 What to shoot that took me another five hours Wow, and 109 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:17,180 Yeah, it's especially difficult now because we're in a different building from where they're filming 110 00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:25,100 So if I need to go over there, that's 10 minutes one way 10 minutes another way so 20 minutes immediately gone just a traveling 111 00:10:26,020 --> 00:10:28,180 Assuming I can't just get a ride over there, but it's 112 00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:35,500 Kind of difficult to coordinate that at all the time. It's a lot of the communication that becomes very difficult, especially just 113 00:10:36,060 --> 00:10:39,340 being in a different place than where the action is and 114 00:10:40,980 --> 00:10:48,740 Frequently having to go where the action is and be like no, okay zoom in here and then we're gonna pan this way 115 00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:52,180 Do you understand? Yes, okay good 116 00:10:52,940 --> 00:10:59,220 And then yeah, it's it's just communicating between all the teams because yeah, we're a company of a hundred people now and 117 00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:03,180 I might have 118 00:11:03,180 --> 00:11:08,020 Really good rapport with with some people but not have built up any with some other people and 119 00:11:09,020 --> 00:11:17,180 They might not know What workflow I'm used to and I might not know what workflow they're used to and yeah 120 00:11:17,660 --> 00:11:24,100 All the other difficult thing has just been we we don't have access to a lot of a lot of stock images anymore 121 00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:28,660 Like stock images I find stock images to be really funny 122 00:11:29,180 --> 00:11:35,180 And I like remixing stock images with other stock images to make funnier stock images. What's the issue with that? 123 00:11:35,420 --> 00:11:37,620 Licensing I think I don't know. It's it's 124 00:11:38,420 --> 00:11:44,820 Out of my pay grade out of my department But keeping within your department. What's your favorite part about being a writer? 125 00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:52,620 I get to play with ridiculous stuff all the time. Oh, I want to look at I want to look at 15 different 126 00:11:52,980 --> 00:11:55,500 Streaming devices that I'll run Google TV 127 00:11:56,380 --> 00:12:04,380 Okay, on Monday, I'm gonna pitch that I'm gonna pitch it real good and then I'm gonna get permission to order it and then it's gonna come in and I'm gonna 128 00:12:04,380 --> 00:12:10,860 Have just a box full of these different Chromecast devices that aren't Chromecast and I get to just do whatever I want with them 129 00:12:11,140 --> 00:12:15,380 Provided that it makes entertaining content and doesn't destroy them too badly 130 00:12:15,380 --> 00:12:20,420 I'm not the biggest fan of the idea that we don't get to destroy things more often here, but I 131 00:12:22,660 --> 00:12:29,060 Understand it I get it. I respect it, but sometimes you know, you just want to have some explodies 132 00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:37,040 But you know my favorite part is definitely just the things that I get to play with so on a similar note if you were given an 133 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:43,640 Unlimited amount of time and an unlimited amount of money. What type of video would you want to create? Oh? 134 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:52,640 Just one video, but I have to make just one video just one. I don't know what product it would be yet, but I really like the idea of 135 00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:02,840 taking an Average consumer electronics something that most people have that they might not think about too much 136 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:08,720 But shopping for is difficult. I want to go I want to buy every single one 137 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,760 maybe four or five times over and I want to just put them all to the test and 138 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:23,680 Just see what happens then I want to start contacting all of the different manufacturers people who don't work there anymore as well find out 139 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:29,480 Why some decisions were made because there's gonna be weird decisions that were made in every product and 140 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,120 Then I want to contact all of the 141 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:41,400 University researchers who are working on on similar pieces of technology in areas that this thing can be improved and 142 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,200 Find out what's the hold up there and then I want to 143 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,000 Contact some manufacturers again and find out. Hey 144 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,280 Why hasn't this thing at this university been done here in this way? 145 00:13:54,280 --> 00:14:02,560 Why are we getting handed this and why is it being charged? Why are you charging us this much for it? Why haven't you made a good thing yet? So essentially the printers video 146 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:09,240 Just buy every printer and find out why they're all liars, right, but a little more comprehensive that yeah 147 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:15,760 Yeah, yeah by every printer. What's another product category that you think you you could be able to cover in a similar vein. Oh 148 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:22,420 Well with the emergence of smart homes you can kind of just pick 149 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,200 Any household item that has a smart home variant? 150 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:32,560 Start going through it because the smart home variants don't solve some of the long-standing issues 151 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,440 so I Don't know. I'd want to look at maybe front-loading washing machines. I 152 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,880 Say this as I have an issue with my front-loading washing machine. Let's bring it back a bit 153 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,600 How did you get started at LMG? I answered a post on Facebook in a private group and 154 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,440 I sent a video from a YouTube channel. I was working on at the time 155 00:14:54,380 --> 00:14:56,880 Then I got asked to interview 156 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:05,080 What was this Facebook group? It was Vancouver stand-up comedians. Ah, okay. I did not get the part 157 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,520 It's fine. I got a job instead and I didn't have to go in Colton's trunk. Oh 158 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:18,240 My god, I this was for a Channel Super Fun video, right? It was yeah, yep 159 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,500 Stand-up comedians. So you're a stand-up comedian then 160 00:15:23,260 --> 00:15:28,980 I was doing it for a while there. Don't don't look it up on YouTube. I still haven't been able to get that guy to take that video down 161 00:15:30,020 --> 00:15:34,280 If you do look it up on YouTube, it's a video of me a couple months in not a good set 162 00:15:34,980 --> 00:15:36,980 Did not know I was performing that night 163 00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:48,140 Please don't watch it You know people are gonna watch it now. Oh, I know I know and it's bad and what's even worse is that 164 00:15:49,020 --> 00:15:53,980 Two years ago, I commented I I regret this immensely and 165 00:15:55,020 --> 00:16:00,540 I know this is bad That comic got deleted by that channel 166 00:16:00,940 --> 00:16:08,180 What yeah, well because the other person in that video not the person who is making it the other person in the video 167 00:16:08,180 --> 00:16:11,620 Who is performing and just performing she has since 168 00:16:12,220 --> 00:16:17,080 Become somewhat notable, you know has definitely appeared on some 169 00:16:18,140 --> 00:16:25,060 Pretty big networks as far as stand-up goes nowadays. All I really do is roast battles. So you're still actively 170 00:16:25,580 --> 00:16:30,740 I'm starting to get back into it. Nice. Yeah, and roast battles are a lot of fun 171 00:16:31,820 --> 00:16:38,220 Because they get to just write some jokes throw them out there and then never do them again. That is 172 00:16:38,860 --> 00:16:44,380 That's perfect. So for these roast battles. Do you get to prep and know who you're roasting beforehand? 173 00:16:44,380 --> 00:16:47,460 Yeah. Yeah, you get the name probably about three weeks in advance 174 00:16:50,060 --> 00:16:52,780 Sometimes the organizers will give you a 175 00:16:53,820 --> 00:16:58,180 Brief summary of who they are. Otherwise, you've got to just message them and be like, hey 176 00:16:58,900 --> 00:17:06,220 Tell me about your life So I can make fun of you for it, but you have to do the same, right? Oh, yeah, give them that. Yeah, I've 177 00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:11,100 I've gathered a pretty pretty solid list of 178 00:17:11,620 --> 00:17:17,220 Things I can just copy and paste to them Which I will not be divulging in my place of employment 179 00:17:18,820 --> 00:17:23,380 How did you get into comedy? Oh the same way everybody does break up 180 00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:33,100 Yeah, like 90% of people doing stand-up just started doing it after a particularly bad breakup. Yeah, the therapy is expensive 181 00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:39,100 Laughs are free No, they are 182 00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:50,460 There are a lot of work A lot of work a lot of silence involved you never know how quiet things can get until you're in front of a hundred people and there's 183 00:17:50,940 --> 00:17:55,140 Just no noises Well, if you search my name on YouTube 184 00:17:56,300 --> 00:18:02,660 Aside from that there was like the first couple times that it stand-up were awful. I went to an open mic that was 185 00:18:03,380 --> 00:18:08,420 Held at it's it was supposed to start at 9 p.m. On Sundays, but the guy who ran it 186 00:18:12,060 --> 00:18:15,980 So It would always start about an hour and a half two hours late 187 00:18:15,980 --> 00:18:21,020 And when it's 11 p.m. On a Sunday, and you're just starting out and you're the 30th person 188 00:18:21,020 --> 00:18:25,540 That's supposed to go up that night and there's a total of four people who are actually there just to watch 189 00:18:26,340 --> 00:18:31,380 Yeah, I went I went a month doing that every week without getting a single laugh. Wow 190 00:18:31,940 --> 00:18:37,660 And yeah, but put some hair on your chest. Yeah, that makes fun of you for having hair on your chest 191 00:18:38,580 --> 00:18:44,180 Well, you're past that point now, hopefully yeah, yeah now I have a 192 00:18:45,220 --> 00:18:51,900 solid five minutes and No, not much more. I can I can sometimes get ten minutes out there 193 00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:58,460 But yeah, I mean I kind of transitioned away from trying to be a storyteller comedian into a one-liner and 194 00:18:59,580 --> 00:19:06,780 Ten minutes that can eat up 50 60 jokes Wow. Yeah, so if you're trying to do an hour with that 195 00:19:06,820 --> 00:19:12,500 You you better have a lot of one-liners memorized. I also just don't memorize anything. I just put them all on cue cards 196 00:19:13,020 --> 00:19:15,860 You can make it work. Who are your inspirations in comedy? Oh 197 00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:22,420 Wendy Liebowitz Steven Wright emo Phillips 198 00:19:24,340 --> 00:19:27,180 Bob get gold weight to a certain degree I'd say 199 00:19:27,780 --> 00:19:37,340 Yeah, just a lot of the one-liner folks because I think Wendy Liebowitz especially 200 00:19:38,180 --> 00:19:48,460 if you're looking at Her act from a very technical standpoint if you just count the amount of laughs her laughs per minute 201 00:19:48,980 --> 00:19:53,380 Exceed anybody else's like in a five-minute set. I think I counted her getting 202 00:19:54,060 --> 00:20:00,140 76 laughs Wow. Yeah, it was every every couple of words and 203 00:20:00,740 --> 00:20:05,620 to just be able to shorten a joke down that much and then 204 00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:11,100 Take another joke and just attach it on to it and attach it on to it and then attach it on to it 205 00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:13,620 So that you can just keep getting that rolling laughter 206 00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:18,580 It's it really is an art form and it's 207 00:20:19,580 --> 00:20:23,460 Also, just I mean, it's very technical. It's a very technical art form. It's it 208 00:20:24,740 --> 00:20:28,220 But it's it's very impressive to see you've done really well 209 00:20:28,780 --> 00:20:33,900 Right and I feel like one one-liner stuff really lends itself to that well 210 00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:39,900 But you know you watch a one-hour special from any one-liner comedian, you know, you watch 211 00:20:40,380 --> 00:20:42,380 Nate Bargat see you or 212 00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:45,660 Why can't I remember his name? 213 00:20:46,660 --> 00:20:51,220 There's gonna be a lot of comments being like, oh, yeah, like this guy and that's what I'm talking about here 214 00:20:51,220 --> 00:20:56,700 But you'll notice that a lot of one-liner comedians. They'll bring out a guitar sometimes. It doesn't necessarily need to be 215 00:20:58,460 --> 00:21:03,020 Used like that the jokes would have landed just as well without the guitar but the guitar having 216 00:21:03,780 --> 00:21:09,340 Light musical accompaniment underneath that lets you actually slow down and let's the punches hit harder 217 00:21:10,180 --> 00:21:16,660 so That musical accompaniment it also it fills in any silence gaps, so 218 00:21:17,420 --> 00:21:21,220 You can take a 10-minute, you know 50 60 joke 219 00:21:22,420 --> 00:21:27,300 Bundle stretch it out to 15 and then also transition between 220 00:21:28,060 --> 00:21:32,860 Different styles of what you're doing because you can't just do one liners for an hour 221 00:21:33,540 --> 00:21:37,780 Interesting. There's a lot more that goes into comedy than I think a lot of people 222 00:21:38,740 --> 00:21:45,260 Yeah, there's the there's a lot of a lot of rules to it and a lot of a 223 00:21:46,220 --> 00:21:49,740 Lot of rules of just interacting with other comedians 224 00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:55,260 There there is a serious ongoing debate about whether or not it's okay to wear shorts 225 00:21:55,660 --> 00:22:01,220 Really? Wow shorts on stage is a very divisive topic interesting people see it as unprofessional 226 00:22:01,220 --> 00:22:06,940 you notice that the standard dress for your average middle-aged white male comedian is 227 00:22:08,380 --> 00:22:13,540 likely to be a leather jacket, but if not probably a suit and 228 00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:21,740 Anybody who doesn't fit into that mold is looked down on a little bit more and then by the time you're at shorts 229 00:22:22,180 --> 00:22:26,500 It's a matter of I don't want to stare at your ugly legs 230 00:22:27,700 --> 00:22:32,060 They're eye level with me Look up. Yeah, like 231 00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,300 It's not stare at shorts 232 00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:39,580 But any words of advice for anybody that wants to get into comedy 233 00:22:41,660 --> 00:22:43,760 If you're really happy don't 234 00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:47,500 That was that 235 00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:50,500 Comedy does not come from a place of happiness 236 00:22:51,860 --> 00:22:58,620 It's there to fill a void That's that's why there's not many comedy festivals and tropical destinations 237 00:22:59,740 --> 00:23:03,860 But you'll still find a lot of people touring the the Arctic 238 00:23:06,260 --> 00:23:11,900 That's next up in Caliwet, none of it. Yeah, Iqalit is actually like a place where 239 00:23:12,660 --> 00:23:15,980 There's there's like a pro wrestling tour that happens 240 00:23:16,180 --> 00:23:21,100 Usually it's like five or six wrestlers and something that all of the pros do at some point in the wrestling career 241 00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:28,540 Really where they will do the north of Canada. Wow just the territories and I think 242 00:23:28,820 --> 00:23:32,540 Parts the northern provinces, but yeah, I think Iqalit is actually one of the places they do it 243 00:23:32,540 --> 00:23:40,420 That's crazy, and they usually have to I think the stories They usually have to sleep in a school gymnasium or something when they do it. Yeah, the same school gymnasium 244 00:23:40,420 --> 00:23:46,820 They just performed in right that's the only only place they really can unless they want to stay with the people in town there if they have room 245 00:23:48,820 --> 00:23:53,180 But yeah, no entertainment in very remote areas is a 246 00:23:54,620 --> 00:23:59,340 Right of passage I feel like for live performers Wow 247 00:23:59,380 --> 00:24:05,120 You can visit Ploof's hometown Yeah, where's he from young knife, I think young knife. Yeah, they're 248 00:24:06,180 --> 00:24:09,420 I Think I actually just roasted a guy from yellow knife 249 00:24:10,060 --> 00:24:12,060 Was it Ploof? 250 00:24:13,260 --> 00:24:16,700 Wasn't Ploof maybe it was white horse. I can never remember the difference between the two 251 00:24:17,540 --> 00:24:20,580 They're in the north. They've got a color and then a noun 252 00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:28,500 Let's try to be thought about that. Yeah, I guess to wrap this all up. What's your most memorable moment at LMG you've had so far? 253 00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:34,820 God damn it is that one It's that one I can't say because it'll incriminate me 254 00:24:37,060 --> 00:24:40,460 What yeah, okay, oh 255 00:24:41,420 --> 00:24:48,180 Maybe wouldn't incriminate me but I can cramate some other people involved who aren't at the company. I never were just 256 00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:52,900 Yeah, yeah 257 00:24:53,980 --> 00:24:58,740 Anything else you want to say to the float playing peeps Hey, don't be reddit
