What's up brother? How you doing? Good to see ya. Glad to be here. Glad to have you finally man.
Dude, I was probably around, when did you first, when was your first time on stage?
My first time on stage was in this place called Tommy Tees in Livermore, California.
Oh I know that place.
Yeah, it was an open mic at the end of 2012, early 2013.
That's when I started and I remember going up on stage, my first joke kinda hit and I bombed the whole time.
But that one little hit was enough, it was enough.
Do you remember what it was?
Yeah, oh, my name is Asana Mad and I know that's very 9-11-y. That was my opening line in comedy.
Wow. So I probably met you around 2014 then.
2015 is when we met.
Okay.
Yeah, and this is a story I tell to all the door guys on what it's like to be a door guy at a comedy club.
Cause this is the first time we've ever had a conversation.
I was sitting by the back door and you had just stopped and you just talked to all the new guys.
I've noticed that you do that.
And then you were showing me your phone and telling me your process and how you write and how you listen to every single set as you drove back home after the store.
