The Kurtis Conner Exclusive!
01:28:20 Share

I'm nervous around our guest today. I mean, he is a terrifying individual. He's someone who's just, he's like you, I feel like I'd catch him somewhere. Like I'm on the run? Is that what you mean?

No, it's more like I feel like you would be caught doing... It doesn't matter what it is. You just seem like you get caught. Like the guy from Kony 2012 who got caught jerking off in public. Exactly. Yeah, that was me. That was me back in 2012. You made the Kony 2012 video? Yeah, back in 2012. It was... Because my original... My last name...

Wow. We've got Curtis Coney on the podcast. Welcome to Shuffle Sandwich.

Welcome so much, ladies and germs, to another episode of the Chuckle Sandwich Podcast. Today, we've got a very, very special boy here today with us. His name is Curtis Connor. If you don't know who Curtis Connor is, Curtis is a commentary YouTuber and stand-up comedian who has also got a podcast called Very Really Good, and he just finished touring around the

the United States and I think Canada too. You also had to go be in Canada as well. I had one show in Canada. He had one show in Canada, but it still counts. And performing stand-up, but being a silly little guy. So welcome, Curtis, to the podcast. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. This is great. This is all good.

This is all you've ever wanted, and it's all Ted's ever wanted. I mean, you can just... He was talking about this for hours before we got on the call. Oh, wow. This Curtis guy. Ever since Curtis got on the call, I just want to clarify what's going on here. Ever since Curtis got on the call, Shlatt seems to have an objective to, like...

make me seem like I'm the biggest Curtis Stan in the whole fucking world. You don't like his content? No, okay. Well, that's a big jump in logic from what I said. I do like Curtis. I like him a lot. Like a normal amount, right? Yeah, like a normal amount. It's not anything that would be too alarming. I like him a lot a normal amount. Yeah. The normal amount of a lot that you could like someone.

The normal amount of a lot. So, Curtis, I mean, you were begging to come on this podcast. What do you want to talk about, man? Okay, sure, I guess that's how it went. I mean, I know I...

I remember you asking me. I was a little drunk, but I don't remember begging to... Yeah, no, it definitely came off as more of me being like, hey, man, you want to go on a bet? You asked me politely, and I said, oh, please, immediately. As if I needed any more convincing when I was the one who asked you. Yeah.

But, yeah, no, Curtis, I've been watching you for a while, but I had the pleasure of meeting you when you were just out in L.A. for the Streamys. Yeah, I was. Did you have a good time at the Streamys? What? What about it? What?

Most confrontational podcast guest ever. Yeah, and? What a great topic. What's your fucking deal, man? You bring me into this fucking Discord call and you want to talk about what? Okay, sure. Yeah, we can talk about that. Did you win anything? Did any of us win anything at the streamies? Well, Chuckle Sandwich alumni, Danny Gonzalez, did get the... You guys pretty much won then.

Yeah, I think so. We were a little frustrated that we weren't on the comedy charts or on the podcast nominations and Logan Paul was on there. Come on. Yeah. Who else was even on? I don't remember them announcing the podcast one.

They didn't really. There was a really weird thing that happened during the streamies. And it was especially strange when you're also there in person where they were doing like all of this whole like award situation for certain categories. And then all of a sudden out of nowhere, they started just blazing through categories. And that included like commentary, YouTuber and podcast and stuff like that. So it was like...

Do you remember that? You guys were at a different table than me, but were you confused when that was going on? Yeah, because we were literally everyone who was nominated for commentary was at

like our table, I'm pretty sure. So then we were just like watching the thing. And then I remember Danny was talking about how nervous he was for like, to like go up and if you were to win and go up and do like a speech or something. And then they just didn't. And then like, we were just watching the thing and it was like, Danny Gonzalez commentary. And we're all just like, oh, okay. I guess, I guess that's who won. It was, it was super weird. Yeah. It was like a slideshow that they gave. Yeah. Let you go up and accept the award.

They didn't let anybody do that? For some award. Because I feel like if they did that for every single category, it would have been like a fucking six-hour ordeal. Because they had an award for best brand and shit, which is super weird. I would hate to see Gillette go up and accept an award or something.

You see Raid Shadow Legends go up on the stage and they said they're like, thank you so much. That big orc that's in all the ads. Thank you. Fucking orc and he comes up with a big hammer. He's like, oh.

He's real. Yeah, he's a real guy. He's a real guy. He walks up and just goes... What was that noise, Ted? I don't know. I don't really know what it was.

I'm just so nervous because we've got Curtis here. He didn't even win the streaming, man. He's not a winner. He's not a winner. He's a loser. We're a podcast of losers right now. Was there tension at the table when Danny came back down and sat down and you guys all looked at each other? Did you guys start clenching your fists and getting ready for a brawl? Because he won?

Yeah, I think we'll not. I think so. I think we all sort of see. I mean, I wasn't nominated, but I was I was upset. You were nominated. No, I was just no. Oh, that's fucked up. Yeah, I agree.

That would have been sick if I won, but if I wasn't nominated. And was not nominated? Yeah. Yeah, no. I know that I think Chad Chad was on there and Jarvis was too. Jarvis. Drew was nominated. And Drew was as well? Mm-hmm. Yeah, no. It's wild how that commentary group of people is such a...

I've just started meeting a lot of you guys, but it's wild how it's like everyone kind of knows each other in that sphere of like commentary YouTubers and stuff. I know. Yeah. And it's cool because it's like I always feel like so like nervous to like meet other YouTubers because I feel like, I don't know, like a lot of them are just like.

I don't know. It's just like YouTube's like fucking weird. But I feel like everyone I've met does like commentary and stuff. Like everyone's like super chill and really funny. So very grateful for that. If I'm trying to get into commentary and I'm trying to become friends with everybody, what is something that I have to do? What do you think are the most important things for me to bust into the scene? You're looking for a fast track and becoming friends with them?

That sounds like the shadiest way to get into the conversation. What do you mean, man? You're like, what sort of words do I have to say in sentences that'll make Danny Gonzalez be like, actually, you're kind of a cool guy. How do I start rubbing elbows with the commentary crowd, you know? Yeah, I mean, okay, yeah, that sort of makes sense now. You just had Danny on, and now I'm on here, so it seems like there's an ulterior motive, I guess, but that's all right. Yeah.

I don't know. You just got to... I'm trying to think of the one thing that everybody has in common, I guess, for commentary. But I don't know. You just got to keep...

Making videos and be silly? I don't know. I'm trying to think like... Yeah, be a silly little guy. You need like a silly little intro thing that people can resonate with, I think. Right. Would you give us a live example of your intro? Well, I used to have a really long one, but I stopped doing it. But the one I do now is like...

I'm like, all right, folks. And then I do a big clap. And it's like, that's what gets into it. And it's also a way for me to sync up my audio as well. But like you guys did. So, so it's like, oh, right. You used to, do you not do the, the extra special greeting to those of the people who are subscribed anymore? Yeah, I don't, I don't do that anymore. I did for a while. That was like, my bit was like, if you've, I would like,

I would say hello to the people who are watching if they're new here. But if people are already subscribed, I would say an extra hello to them. It's like so they get an extra greeting. And that was like the whole thing. Honestly, you were kind of the first in the game. Before Dream, before the Mask song, you were the first guy to be like,

40% of these people are not subscribed to me, and you should subscribe now. It was a way I could say that without overtly saying that, without showing me. Because that's kind of like an L to show that, to be like, this many people watch me, but they don't fuck with me enough to subscribe. You got to do that. It's like creating audience pressure. Yeah, right. But mine was just like, it just incentivized them a bit. Yeah.

as yeah time went on it was like it was such a long intro um that it took me like so long to actually just get into the topic of the video right so i was just like fuck it i'll just like

I'll just start talking about the thing that people want to see, you know? Yeah. I remember when I first started making videos, I used to do like a whole set of like jokes that weren't entirely like related. Like my intro would just be a bunch of just visual gags and stuff until I was like, oh, okay. It takes me like a full minute before I'm even talking about what the video's title is. And I can like speed this situation up.

So I definitely I definitely get that I feel it's like a because I feel like in your head when you make videos you want to think you want people you want to think in your head that people are going to see like are clicking on it just to see you but this is like not really true they just want to see what pieces of shit. Yeah, basically is what I'm saying. Yeah, thanks for paraphrasing You're welcome

So you've been doing YouTube for a while, but you initially, before you started doing YouTube, went to college for stand-up writing, like comedy writing. Is that true? Yeah, that is true. I went to, it's called Humber, Humber College. It has a program for comedy writing and performance. I went there for two years. It was weird.

It was weird? Yeah, it was weird. It was like, picture every kid in your high school who thought they were super funny. Oh no. And then they all go to the same...

like now they're all in the one class now, like, and they can live on their own and shit. Like it's, it's, it's bad. It's scary. Did they tell you how to try and be funny? Is that the point of the curriculum or is it? That was the, that was the weird part. Cause it was like, obviously everyone was like, has different senses of humor and stuff. I think what they wanted to do was teach like the, like, I guess just like,

like not even like theory but they would just be like this is how you write a joke it's like you need a setup and then like a punch line but it was like some things some like they spent so much time on like even like just silly shit because they need to fill time i think but like in our like stand-up class we had like a full like week on like the right way to like hold a microphone when you're on stage what it was like i know it was so and i was like at the time i was like

I'm learning a lot, but then once I'm done, I gave that school so much money for them to just fucking pull and tug my wiener around for two years and be like, yeah, this is what you do here. It's like, I don't know. The only thing I say when people ask about it is I met two of my best friends who I brought on tour with me. They opened the show for me and stuff. We've been doing shows for 10 years now, and it got us

It forced me to move to Toronto and actually get up and do shows, which is good. Because I don't know if I would have had the... I don't know if I would have just done it if I didn't have friends who are also doing it. Right. That's interesting. That was actually going to be one of my questions. So for getting into stand-up and all of that, that was something you started doing before YouTube. And so you were just like...

So because you were in that environment where it was like everyone was trying to do like stand up and stuff, it was like a lot easier for you to kind of just go and be like, all right, I'm going to do some open mics or something.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. It was definitely a lot easier that I had friends there because like going doing I don't know if you've ever done like open mics or anything, but it's like it's the most like fucking soul crushing thing. Like it's so fucking sad to do this. Even if you have like a good show, it's like still it's like out of.

What was that? It was like you're in like a bar's basement at like one in the morning doing a show for like five other comedians. And it's like, okay, great. I made five dudes laugh. What does that mean? You know? Right. I don't know. I guess it's nice in the sense of like just getting up there, I imagine. Yeah. Just to have that moment. I guess it is nice to have those like shitty ones because then like once you do have like an actual real show, you're like, oh, this is like...

I'm really going to appreciate this because I know what it could be. But yeah, it was a two-year program. It probably could have been one year, but it was fine. Oh, so you didn't leave early. I thought for some reason it was going to be a four-year thing, so it was a two-year program and you did the whole thing. I did the full two years, yeah.

Yeah. And then from there, when did you start like doing the YouTube stuff? Was it while you were in school or was it like right after you got out? Yeah. My first year, it was like 2013 is when I went to college. And then I think the summer between first and second year, I started like going ham on Vine. And then and then like that kind of like over the summer, I got like 100000 followers. And I was like, went back to second year and I was like,

so i thought i was like so sick and then um yeah i was pretty much just like i went like full like full like put all my eggs in like the vine basket pretty much and then for a few years and that obviously was not the right call because it's so you're a vine refugee yeah yeah i am yeah i had when it ended i think i had around like

Like $350,000. That was big for Vine, too. That was huge for Vine. Yeah, I thought I was like, yeah, I was I was like fully prepared for that to like I'm just gonna be like, yeah, I'm gonna be like a Viner or whatever. And then they like shut it down like hardcore. And then, yeah, it was that was like a really shitty time. So I had to like find my footing and be like, I don't know.

what to do on YouTube. Like I was trying a bunch of different stuff. Um, so, but that was just like the, the, like the natural, like graduation to, uh, you know, like, cause, um, I started like Cody was doing commentary and then like drew and Danny started and I was like, I could probably try that. And then,

So there you go. You just got to copy what other people are doing and then you can get into the commentary genre. Yeah. I feel like I don't was was Cody the one that did it first that like started doing the commentary stuff? Like who was the first commentary zone? Honestly, I remember the first like commentary type video. I remember like actually like from a vine. Do you know?

You know Nathan Zedd? I do, yeah. I feel like he was doing commentary back in like 2014, 2015. Like it was like early on. He had like some like commentary video about that video where Nash Greer was like, girls that have arm hair are fucking disgusting. And it was like a really good video. And I like, I was first time I really like saw that. Because he's right.

Nash Greer's right. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's pretty fucked up. Keep that shit away from me. Yeah, no. And that's what I thought I assumed you were going. Yeah, the whole commentary video was him agreeing. It's like Nathan's head is sitting there and he's like, this guy, he knows what's up. Next clip. Yeah, this guy's got it. I was going to say the same thing.

And just to expand on what he's saying there. If I could really double down here. Yeah, like really hammer in the points that... That'd be awesome. That's the new commentary genre. It's just no critiquing. That's funny. So, okay. So then you...

So you... What was the thing that... What was your big break? My big break? In the history of Curtis, what was your big break, man? Well, on YouTube, I'm trying to... What fucking video was it that... Okay, I made one video. I was starting to make commentary videos, and I noticed that the views were better than my other ones because it was just like... Just that genre was really picking up. But then I think I made a video about...

Bro, what was it? I forget. It was something like some like Reddit thing, maybe. I was reading online because in order to prepare for this, I wanted to ask you some questions about your history as of doing now. And I was reading online that you had one video that like got like 600K in like two days.

Yeah, that's the video. I'm trying to remember what it was, but I can't remember. It was so long ago. I'm looking back right now. I'm looking back right now. Okay, hold on. I'm six years back. We've got a 570,000 view Curtis Conner top Vine compilation. Okay, I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. The video was called Pointless Twitter Threads. And it was about...

It was like, I think it was just the thumbnail that really did it. Because it was like a tweet of like, someone was like, how I cured my depression. And then number one, it said, drink water. And it was just like, threads that were just stupid and silly. And then I like goofed on them. Yeah, they just said like the obvious things that you should be doing. Right, yeah. Like how to be happier in life? Sleep. Yeah, how to get a job. Go for a walk, eat food.

So then, yeah, I think that one took off in like a few, like it had like a couple hundred thousand in a few days. And then I just like, that's when I was, I had a full time like office job at the time too. So I was like, once that happened, I was like, fuck it. I'm just going to keep going. I'm going to keep making videos until, because I was like, I got to like ride this fucking thing.

wave if it is a wave you know and then did you have a goal once you saw that shit starting to take off did you have a number in your head where you're like once I'm doing this I'm walking away from the 9 to 5

Uh, not really. Now that I think about it, I feel like I didn't even think that was like going to be a possibility at all. I was just like, I was just so happy that like this, the stuff I was doing on YouTube was actually like working. So I was like, I don't even care if I'm just going to keep doing it. And then it got to the point where I was like, oh, this actually could be like a, like a job. And then, and then, yeah, fucking that. I'm trying to see when that video went up.

I see one way back when called Furries that has 400,000 views. That's six years old. That one was a slow one, I think. That one, I think, got more like after the fact, especially in the last year or two because I made another video about furries. I'm not like a furry, by the way. I just made two videos about it. I was going to message you after, actually. That's crazy.

Yeah, that sweater looking pretty fuzzy, actually. I can't catch a fucking break whenever I wear this fucking thing, man. It's just comfy. I don't know what to say. It was like 30 bucks, too. Oh, my God. Badger boy schlatt. Can we get some... Our audio listeners who are also artists love you to death. Can we get some fan art of badger schlatt? No, no. Can we get some...

Can we not get that? I'd like some furry fan art, please. No. All the furry listeners of the podcast, please. Schlatt really wants it. He wants the furry stuff. There's enough of that. There's enough of that. Is there a lot of that? There's terabytes of it already. Terabytes? Yeah. And it's all saved locally on my hard drive. And it's crazy, too, because it's multiple terabytes more than any other type of fan art. So it's like you're wondering, like...

Dude, I had to buy this just to store all of it. It's fucking crazy. Just furry fan art on that? Yeah, man. It's a lot of shit. It's heavy. That's five terabytes right there. Jeez. I mean, I want to hear, and forgive me if this is selfish, but I want to hear more about Vine because I was not a Vine creator. I was a Vine enjoyer, and I was on Vine from day one where the entire premise of Vine was just filming your friends at a party, and they all just say Vine.

you know oh that was the thing did i did did yeah yeah that that was like the first week of vine is that everyone would just say vine for six seconds and that would be the whole video maybe i'm crazy um no i mean that sort of creatively limiting trend yeah yeah well it was like i wasn't following i was just following people i knew it was just this and all they were like several people were doing that

Yeah, yeah. Everybody. That was my whole feed. Which is people saying Vine? Yeah, it's like you just point the camera at someone and they'd be like, Vine, you know? That's what my first YouTube video was like. It was just me in front of a camera saying, YouTube. YouTube. It transitioned away from that pretty quickly.

uh, you know, I would follow King batch and, and all those guys. Yeah. The big spoon, the big spoon, dude. I, I was a big vine enjoyer. Um, but I, I never, I never had the perspective of like a creator. I never once made a vine. And so like, what, what was that like? What was that like? How was it fitting shit into six seconds? Was that tough? And, and did you do collabs? Did you meet King batch? Uh,

I never got to meet the king, unfortunately. I wish I... Damn it. Come on. I wish I know. Sorry, dude. I'm trying to think of if I ever met like a...

Who's like the most famous Viner I got to meet, but I don't even know if I... Yeah, I don't know. I remember I watched one Viner a lot, and I don't know what he's doing now, but it was like Marcus something, and he was really popular. Marcus Brownlee. Yeah, the tech guy. No, not Marcus. Yeah, he would do these six-second tech reviews. They were terrible. He'd be like...

Okay, so the iPhone 6. It's over. It's what? iPhone 6 is what? You always keep you at the edge of your seat. It's such a great line. Follow for part two. Oh my God. The parts on TikTok is probably the... That kind of shit would have never flown. That shit pisses me off now because it's like a 10-minute limit on TikTok now.

I've seen full episodes of Spongebob on this fucking app at this point. And there are still people who will like post only 30 seconds of a movie clip. And I'm like, show me the other fucking part. Show me the whole movie. Yeah. A real Sigma would put the whole movie in. Yeah. It's fucked up that people are allowed to do that. And then it's like, what's the, is it so like, I guess it's just like to get like a,

more views or like make people to want to follow you so you can like be aware when they drop part two i guess i mean i imagine that they like maybe it's something about maybe something about keeping people on their page or something for as long as possible i don't even know but it's like it's so weird to ask for a part two to a video that's like a minute like it's that's not yeah

It's also really funny when it's a thing from a movie. A movie you could find online. And they don't post the next part to the movie and the comments are pissed because they don't want to do a little bit of work.

Well, no, dude, what I'm into is I don't watch the regular movie clips. Fuck the regular, like, actual movie clips. I watch sped up movies that are muted and a text-to-speech bot is explaining it as shitty as possible. Oh, I love those ones. Yeah, and then on the bottom, someone is, like, fucking screwing something in or, like, making a statue or something, you know? Yeah, and then the voice is like, the voice is like,

The woman did not know where her son had hidden himself, so she looked in the mirror. Exactly, exactly. It's like the most broken thing ever. Yeah, I love that shit. But back to Shled's initial question, though. What was the environment of the vine like? Was it a wasteland? How do you remember? I'm sure you remember it in maybe kinder view. Yeah, well, it was so fucking long ago. I feel like it was so...

Dude, you should have known you'd be on the Chuckle Sandwich podcast talking about Vine experiences in the future. Fuck. Okay. No, it was cool. I feel like once you got to a certain number, I don't know, once you became a person that people follow on Vine, the creator relationship with Vine was really good.

Like, they would always, like, send you crap if you ever needed help. You could just, like, ask them. Like the actual people who run Vine? Yeah, like, they were super, like, chill. Like, Chris Melberger used to work at Vine, too. And he was, like, the homie, too. So he would always, like, just, like, help everyone out because he was also, like, a fan and a Viner, too. So it was, like, he was, like, a fan of the app. But it was cool. And, like, I feel like since video on...

I feel like it was so new to everyone, sort of. The short-form swipe content kind of shit. Yeah. So everyone was like... It started so simple with just like... It was like a quick evolution of humankind. Fucking shrunk down to two years. People were just figuring out... I'd be like, oh, a fart is funny. And I could just do that. And it would get a million views. And then it would slowly graduate into like...

you know, that backflip though, you know?

Yeah, I honestly wonder... You remember that King Badge vibe? Is that where he runs up the wall and then turns around and looks at the camera and walks by it and says that? Why does everyone know about that? There was a lady getting mugged. Some guy runs off with her purse and then King Badge is like, I'll help you. And then he does a backflip.

Yeah. He's like, what the hell? He got away. Like those skits were really interesting because they had a particular energy to them where, man, that killed you. That fucking killed you, man. That might be like, they should have shut down the app after that Vine because that was like the best one. Yeah.

That was it. It was just a pack it up, pack it up, guys. We found it. That's why they call him the king, man. They just put it in one of those fucking NFT cases where it plays it over and over again. It's just like in a statue in Times Square. It's like the final vine of King Patch doing that. The weirdest thing about those types of skits is how...

rhythmic the conversations are where she's like help my purse don't worry I got you and she's like you didn't do anything that backflip though it's like it was really snappy and not like right there was like the time there was no comedic timing any like at all you just had to go like alright go go go go go

But then they started, then they did like long form shit, which was weird. Like at the end, they were like. Did they really? What was the timer up to? I remember there was a big day in Vine history when they upped it from like six to seven seconds, you know? Yeah. And then they started giving people like the ability to do like, I think like a minute.

Really? By the end of it? At the end of the day. It was like very... As the sun was setting on Vine, I think that was when that would happen. I think it was like the last few months where they were like sort of like a last ditch thing. They were like, I don't know, people, let's give them like 30 seconds or a minute. Because I remember posting like a minute long like sketch on there, which is weird to think about now. Yeah, because their whole thing was like six seconds. So I don't know.

It's wild because I feel like if we didn't have Vine, I feel like it would have taken people a little bit longer to kind of figure out TikTok. Yeah. I feel like that burned in the concepts. Like, we all had the short form video 101 burned into our brains. Right. At the beginning there with Vine for... But...

I guess it's interesting then that you then sort of went to YouTube and started. Okay, so you were doing the stand-up thing. Sorry, that makes it sound like it's like you're doing that little stand-up thing. Yeah, okay. So you were going to school for comedy writing, and then you did The Vine, and then that was doing well. And then you were in. I did it for The Vine. You were working an office job, and then YouTube started working out. I guess one of the things that I was curious about that I had in my mind

Curtis Connor question notes was, um, how would you compare the writing process for standup to a YouTube video? Ooh. Oh, um, that's a good question. Oh, I got them. I got them loaded, baby. I wrote these last night. I wrote these last night. Yeah. This is definitely a last night question. I could tell. Yeah. Um,

What does that even mean? Come on. You know, don't act like, don't act. You pulled this one out of your ass. Um,

No, last night. That's like a good one. You know, last night question. You know, you had you were excited. It wasn't like if it was like a five minutes ago question, that'd be about. Yeah. But a last night. And whenever there's a good one, that's like a new thing I'm trying to coin. It's like that's a last night question. It's a last night. All right. Last night question. I think we can help.

We can try to help you. We can workshop that. Yeah, we can workshop that with you later on, too. Okay, thank you. I appreciate that. If any of the listeners want to start saying that, too, that'd be sort of awesome. We have a lot of phrases. I mean, after... We do. I'm going to let you answer the question I initially asked, but later on I'll introduce you to some of the questions. Some of the phrases that we have on the Chocolate Sandwich Podcast that I think you'll really like. Okay. All right, I'm excited. Okay, so I...

I think it's relatively similar because I feel like a bit it's like you have I feel like every with like there's a stand up premise or the same as like a video. You have like a like a thesis statement pretty much of the whole thing. Like, you know what you're trying to portray in it. And the rest of it is just like.

adding silly stuff to that that like complements that like thesis statement i guess um but mostly yeah most of the time it's the only difference is that like if something isn't that funny or like something isn't working on like the way i delivered it on a video i can just like edit it to like make it funnier i guess but like right for stand-up you kind of have to do that

By like doing shows and being like, oh, that didn't work that way. I got to go do another show and try it another way. And hopefully that is funny then. Yeah, that's that's such a scary aspect to it where it's like you can go up, say a line, and then it's like you can't fix it in editing. Right. Fucking zoom in. Yeah.

Yeah, I can't put like a fart sound. I'm a slut for the zoom-ins on YouTube videos. I am a whore. See, in stand-up, it's all about how you hold the microphone. Yeah, you're actually right about that. Yeah, that's your attitude there. That's why I'm not too nervous about stand-up, because I know how to...

hold the microphone. So at least if I, if all else fails, I have that to fall back on, you know, I have the correct way to hold the mic. So in, in terms of then in terms of, so it's similar to writing for YouTube. It's just like, because of like the, the thesis general that you're working off of, like, what are you for your standup? Like,

What do you find as inspiration for shit that you find? What do you find funny? What are the things that you find the funniest that you feel like gets you the most juiced to write a stand-up bit about it? I think it's different. The thing I enjoy the most is silly stories always get me because that's the type of stand-up I like watching as well.

Um, even if they're, if they're real stories are fake, I don't really care. They're just always fun to watch someone be able to tell a silly little story, you know? Yeah. Um, silly little guy telling a little silly story with his incredible microphone technique. Exactly. Yeah.

Do you do like tricks? Could you like spin it or something? I'm sorry, I'm interested. How do you spend a whole week doing that shit? It's like the fushigi, but with a microphone. I hold it. Fushigi. I heard that you had the fushigi with you on that shelf in the back. It's at his... It's an arm's length away? It's at arm's length. Hold on, hold on.

Dude, I was a Fushigi master in seventh grade. I brought it into school. Yeah, I brought that shit into school. Oh, my God. And I was like, is it in a case? Oh, holy God. Oh, it needs to be in a case because if the sun gets it, it could start a fire. What?

Because it's like reflective. It could start like a fire. That's what it says in the instruction manual. Really? Don't leave this out. It will burn your house down. There's been like house fires started from Fushigis and...

It's not how my bus burned down, by the way. My fushigi was at home when my tour bus burned down. It wasn't because of the fushigi. Everyone was saying that online. That's true. That was something I was going to ask you about. Your motherfucking bus burned down. Hold on a second. He's doing a trick. Oh, sorry. There's so much I want to talk with him about. He's just such an interesting guy. Audio listeners, he's fushigi-ing right now. It's not the official terms. Contact juggling.

Yeah. Fuck you. Fuck you. I don't care. Come on. Don't say that. Tucker's here. Oh, by the way, Tucker's here. I'm starting to become a little Tucker hater. No, no. Actually, it's called contact juggling. No, man. You just say you're fucking with the ball. You can't do this to him. You can't do this to him. That was his first. That was a really fine fact. Well, fuck you for what you said to me last time, Tucker. I'm sorry. I don't think I look like a condom. And you know what? I've taken it to heart.

The only thing I could do with the Fushigi is this one where you hold it with one hand and you kind of like wrap it around. Yeah. I wish I had one. Can you do the thing from the commercial for us, Curtis, where you go like this? Oh, yeah. And it's like where it goes across. Dude, I feel like they fucking like... Because he put it back in the bag. Yeah.

Yeah, I thought I was done. I thought I was done. You guys, for more, I'll take it out of the bag. But like I said, I'm not going to leave it out in the open. You want me to start a fucking fire? He doesn't fuck around, Schlatt. He does not fuck around with the fish. So you want me to do it or not? You're going to keep fucking making fun of me. Hold on. So they go like that, right?

I feel like, dude, it doesn't... I started... That's like one of the first ones I tried to do. But I feel like in the commercial, they must have lubed it up or something. Because it is not that smooth. It was a little bit rough.

I remember. Maybe you hit it with some WD-40 or something. Yeah, I could spit on this. He did have very wiggly fingers in that ad. I do remember it looking, yeah. Maybe they chose like especially wiggly finger guys. You can put it away. Can I put it back in the bag? It's going back in the protective case. You can put it back in the Fushigi protective bag. Wow.

Okay, so you like juggling, you like magic, you're a magic magician. Yeah, I know a few tricks, yeah. And your tour bus burned down. Are these things related? Yeah, that was my final trick. And for my last trick...

I'm going to burn my bus down with all my stuff inside of it. For my last trick, I'm going to get a huge insurance payout. I'm going to pour this definitely bottle of water, Danny. This definitely bottle of not gasoline on the fucking...

Yeah, I drink. I always drink my water out of jerry cans. This is water. This is definitely water. And then what's this? That's a match, Curtis. He just drops it on the... How? How did the bus burn down? Oh, just a crazy fucking accident, I guess. Like, I guess like the generator just fucking exploded. Apparently, this is like a thing that happens like once...

like a year to like a tour bus out of like the hundreds of thousands of tour buses that drive around the world this happens apparently like once a year to a bus and it fucking happened to ours so that was awesome did you get a that seems like something you should get a certificate for from like the bus yeah from established titles

Yeah, from established titles. Because your bus burned down, we give you one square foot of a Scottish... Of charred Scottish land. Were you in the bus when that shit happened? No, we were... It's so weird because it's weird to tell people that, but we were back... I was here in Toronto for a break. We were off break for a week. So it's like...

When I tell people my bus burned down, they're like, oh my God, that must have been so scary for you. And it's like, not really. Like I was like asleep when it happened. Yeah. I was like having a, I was like a, I was snoozing. I was like snoring and stuff. I was dreaming. And then, and then I woke up and then it was like, my manager was like, Hey, guess what? Yeah. Guess what, dude? Your bus burned down. And we had like so much stuff on there. Your bus burned down. Yeah. You had a lot of your, your stuff on there.

Yeah, like clothes that we all just bought. We had like I had my fucking like golf clubs on there. I had like a photo album of like Polaroids you were taking on tour. So, yeah, it sucked. But nobody died. So that's good. Oh, yes. I imagine, though, that those golf clubs must have been like equivalent to a child, though. Yeah. Yeah.

They definitely weighed more than a child, too. So that's got to mean something. Those things are light. And if you put a kid versus a golf club, golf clubs win if you swing it. Every day of the week. Yeah. Every day of the week. Yeah, you're talking to Curtis Coney. I think I know that. So you drove around. I mean, I'm just so interested. I feel like I'm so interested about you as like...

Comedian and a maker of things that I'm like all of my questions for you as far all based around like work stuff So I apologize for audio listeners if they're like I don't want to hear it, but I fuck you guys. I'm interested in this shit So I mean yeah now we have a we have a term tumultuous relationship with our audience. They're just I

The whole comments are just going to be whenever we post a new episode. I did this thing early on where I just started pinning comments where someone said, like, this is the perfect podcast to eat soup to. And then it sort of developed where I kept pinning someone saying, this is the perfect podcast to do X. And now in our comments, it's just always, this is a perfect podcast to, I don't know, fucking break the Geneva Convention to. To contact juggle, you know. Yeah.

So they're little bastards, though. They'll be fine. But I'm just really interested in this. So this tour bus thing, that must have been like, was that like being at camp a little bit? Just being, not catching fire, just the tour bus in general? No, just like the tour bus experience. Was that kind of like being at camp? I mean, I never went to camp, so I don't know. But I imagine so. It definitely felt like we were all sleeping in the same room.

you know, little like bunk bed type layout, you know, there was like, and it was just like, it was like six dudes on there. So it was just, yeah, it felt very, uh, it felt very like,

I guess like, not like frat, but like kind of, because it's, you get that many dudes in like a small space for that long, it sort of like devolves into that, I think. You start pounding drinks, you're getting ready to punch. Yeah, yeah, just fucking farting all the time. A lot can happen, a lot can happen. You guys roll into a town, boys are back in town, is blasting through the speakers, and you guys are rolling into the bar,

With your leather vests on and you're like, we're gonna start fucking Kee-Yah. We're gonna kill everybody. We're gonna tell some jokes. And I'm gonna kill you guys. Yeah, it was a lot of that. That's what you say. That's what you guys said when you showed them the part. We're gonna kill you guys. You walk in in line formation like... We're gonna kill you guys.

Yeah, there's a lot of that. You just pull out and you've got the fucking switchblades and shit. Yeah. Oh, that's good. No, it was a lot of fun. We had like a... It was pretty much just like doing a show and then get back on the bus and we played 2K until like 2 in the morning and then we go to bed. But it was fun. And the bus was always rolling pretty much, huh? Pretty much, yeah. I think the longest drive we had was like...

And you had games on there? We had games. You had games on your tour bus? Well, nah, that's cool! I mean, I don't know, I feel like there's sort of an internal part of every person, the little kid in them, that is enamored with the idea of being on like a bus or a vehicle that moves that also has video games. Like, video games being available in a moving vehicle is...

for some reason to me, is the most valuable thing I could possibly think of. You're right. Yeah. I remember one time when I was a kid at my babysitter's, we were driving somewhere, and they hooked up a little TV in their van and connected to the cigarette lighter thing with an outlet thing. And we were playing Small Soldiers on PlayStation 1 in the van.

Shit was like the best day of my life. Like, I still think about that thing. It was like us giggling the whole time. We're like, yo, we're in a fucking car right now in religious gaming, dude. It's fucked. Yeah, dude, that's fucking sick. So, yeah. So, I mean, yeah, that sounds fucking awesome, too. It was fun. I definitely... I'm sure you guys had like all your like bits, too. Like there's like a specific tour set of bits and stuff. That's sort of what I mean by camp. Like, for instance, I went...

to pennsylvania several weeks ago to be a part of this live stream for this creator point crow he was doing a irel mario party stream where it was like an entire sound stage in pennsylvania they had where they built a life-size set for mario party yeah i saw his video pop up in my because i'm subscribed to him but i haven't watched that video yet but

That's crazy. And it was cool because it was like we showed up the night before and then it was like there was a whole day of like dress rehearsal and then the actual day that happened. But the thing is is that they also had like a cafeteria where the food was like catered and stuff. They treated us really nice while we were out there helping out with it. But

you know we would all have kind of like breakfast lunch and dinner together for that like two three days so like over those days it was like that felt like camp to me so like when i think of like this tour that you went on with like your best buddies i'm like that must have been so fucking fun it was yeah but i think yeah you're right you got we definitely got into like a routine of of like you know things that we were doing and the jokes that we had and like the it was a lot of

A lot of making fun of each other and stuff. It was silly. But definitely by the end of it, I was fucking... Like, I'm very happy to be home now. As fun as it was. When's the soonest that you think you'd do a tour again? I don't know. Because I'm pissed that I missed your show in a way. Yeah, I know. Same.

I don't know, dude. I feel like for America, I feel like it's going to be it won't be until I like have a new like hour and I don't know how long that's going to be. So I don't know. Oh, a new hour of like material. Yeah, because I feel like I can't I'm not going to tour the same hour. It's like the shitty part. Right. Like musicians, you get to see the fucking same shit all the time. Right. Right. With comedy, it's like everyone knows the punchlines already. So it's like, what's what am I here for? You know?

Well, at least that's kind of fun, though, because it's like you sort of – it seems like you prepared one big YouTube video that you got to perform across to a bunch of people. Because I haven't really seen any videos online or anything of the jokes that you do on YouTube or anything like that. It seemed like it was pretty – so I have no idea –

what any of the bits that you did in that so i'm like so i feel like that's kind of cool that it's very specific a lot of it you want those jokes yeah a lot of it revolved around just me holding the mic in like different cool ways but um and it was like little spin and everyone was like what's that he's like what's he gonna do next it was definitely it was yeah it was pretty much like an hour of that but you know people seem to

People seem to like the holding of the mic. And they found it hilarious, too. It was like, everyone in the audience is mic experts? Mic holding experts? What's going on here? So, Curtis. Yeah. I want to ask you a question that I like to ask every comedian. Okay. Tell me a really funny joke. You're like, who do you think you are? You're a dick.

That's true. And you're being serious? You want me to tell you what I mean? I guess I'm calling Shled out on it, but I'm also kind of interested to see where this is going to go. Because, I mean, what if he does tell us a really funny joke? It could be funny. It could be funny. But also, I know that this is the worst question you could ever ask anybody. You know what? I'll humor you, okay? I'll give you a joke, all right?

This is a classic. And if it's not funny, we'll just cut it out. And then you could just do it in a minute of like, hey, everybody. Yeah, I got a mic over there I could use. Okay. All right, let me just... Let me answer your question with a question. Okay. What is the opposite of a clean Xbox? A dirty Xbox? Yeah.

Oh, I was going to say dirty PlayStation, but yeah, you pretty much got there. Oh, oh. Like clean Xbox, dirty PlayStation. It's like the opposite of that. How's that? Is that silly? Is that funny? Is it hilarious? Is that a funny joke for you? Yeah. No, I mean, you got me. You happy you asked me that question? I thought it was going to be an Xbox. No, I just...

Any other fucking brain busters for me? Alright, how about this? Curtis, you're a funny guy. You like jokes. Okay. You like jokes? Yeah. You like bacon? Yeah, it's pretty epic. Would you rather have unlimited bacon, but no more video games? Yeah. Now keep in mind, as I ask this, you have played games all the time on your tour bus.

Yeah, you're right. Or would you rather have games, unlimited games, but no games? Okay. This is a good one. So the options are, sorry, unlimited. I can say it again. Say it one more time. I thought I said it pretty. No, you didn't. Well, I think you were being pretty crystal clear here. Crystal clear, yeah. I can go. I can say it again. Curtis, would you rather have unlimited bacon, but no more video games or games?

Unlimited games, but no games. See, I just don't understand why this is giving you so much pause. I feel like it's pretty cut and dry. No, I'm just weighing. I don't think that's true. I'm weighing my options. You're telling me what happens on the podcast that you're a guest on? I mean, it's a pretty tough question. I mean, because Unlimited Bake... Oh, no doubt. Yeah, no doubt it is. I think I'd have to go...

unlimited bacon no video games because then i could still play like board games but the other thing it's like i know games so i can't play any games that's what you said right no unlimited video games no it's no games it's no games for the second option unlimited no you lose games no you lose games for that first one you selected no they said the first nothing like that no you said unlimited bacon but no video game is that not the question ted what was my question

So he was asking, would you rather have unlimited bacon but no more video games or games, unlimited games but no more games? What the hell? Why am I going up? What the fuck is happening? Ted? What? Ted. Ted, I'm listening. Ted, where am I going? He's leaving. Is he okay? Who is? Did he just go to hell? I think he went to hell. I think you just sent him to hell with that. Who would that be?

What do you think? I mean, you can choose either of them. We won't judge you too hard if you choose whichever one you choose. Okay, then I'm going the first one, okay? Unlimited bacon, but no more video games? Yeah. Okay. That's a lot of bacon. I mean, like... Hey, man. As he crawled up from hell.

He's figured it out. No one pulled that shit on me ever in my entire life. You're the first person to point out the discrepancy between video games being the first part and games in general being the second part. Ted, how did this not get through quality control? No, this has been called out before. It has been? Yeah. Some people respond to it as,

as like, oh, I'm not playing any games. Like, oh, you're not. I don't play games. Right. I think we need to be a little more clear so that this bullshit doesn't happen. No, you can't change the way it's said. It's delivered the same way every time. You can't change it. All right, all right. I get it, I get it, I get it. Curtis Conner, why did the chicken cross the line? What? What? What's the problem with this show? I'll just keep, I'll keep my mouth shut, but I'm not happy.

Why did the chicken cross the road? Guess.

You want me to guess? Okay. Yeah. I don't know. Guess. Legitimately guess. What's the problem? Guess. That's not how that works. Why did the chicken cross the road with such a fucking dick? You want me to guess? Yeah. Is it a joke or like a riddle? It's a joke. It's a joke. Okay. I don't know. I assure you. Part of jokes are audience interaction, are they not?

Knock, knock. Who's there? Jesus. And I did. I responded. I said, why? That's a response. Okay. Two...

Okay, okay, I'll guess. Please guess. You know what this is coming off like? Can I just say something? You know what this is coming off like? This is coming off like one of those videos, like martial arts videos on TikTok where the guy's like, you have to hit me like this and I'll do all this fucking stuff. And if he doesn't hit you in the exact way that you need to do the move, he's like, no, no, start again. He's going to be punched like this. No, my punchline is the same regardless, but I would like you to guess.

Okay, why did the chicken cross the road? He crossed the road. Or she crossed the road. They crossed the road because they had a job interview. No, that was a good guess. I mean, it's a guess, but it's not. You want me to keep guessing until I get it? This is torture. This is going to be like the longest podcast ever. I'm going to keep...

guessing different reasons. Give me one more. Give me one more. Okay, he had a second job interview. He got called back. He might get the job. No, he's not going for a job interview. It's his second round. He made the third round. Don't try again. Try again, Curtis. I want to see where this story goes. He...

Went in to get his uniform. He got hired. He got hired, man. He got the job. Yeah, man. Good for him. That's not the joke, though. He had to go bring his uniform back. He got fired from the job. Oh, come on. No. Do you want me to say it? Do you want me to say the reason? We are in a recession. We are. He was going across the street to solve the recession.

But whatever the answer is to this joke, it's got to be fucking huge because the payoff has to be massive right now. This is the best podcast to solve the recession. I'm expecting a big payoff right here on the Chuckle Sandwich podcast. Me too. Okay. You want me to say it? Yes. Yeah.

I was hoping you'd say it like a while ago. Why did the chicken cross the road? Sorry, man. I just want a little bit of crowd work. Okay. There's three of us here besides you. All right. All right. Why did the chicken cross the road? Okay. Am I guessing or am I saying? No, no, no. I'm about to say it. So now I'm not guessing. I say why. No, you're not guessing anymore. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

What was the point of that entire previous exercise? What was the point of that whole thing we were doing before? I'm going to restart the show. Why did the chicken cross the road? This is so stupid. Why? This is so dumb. But I love it, though. Because... Okay. This sounds like a chicken. Curtis, you can be mean to him right now if you want.

No, that was awesome. It was funny. That was good, right? I have actually never heard that one. That is pretty good. That's pretty hilarious.

Dude, come on. What are you going to do with this? What's wrong? What's wrong? Someone laughed at that. Someone laughed at that. I do all this work to figure out a proper time with Curtis. I've scheduled him to do the podcast. He's here now, and you're coming in with this shit right now? You're coming in with this shit? I thought that was good. I'm trying to pick his beautiful mind. I thought that was a good joke. To figure out what makes him tick. I thought that was a good joke. It was good.

It was good. The only way it would have been better is if you're holding your mic just a little better. But other than that, it was okay. I'll retell it. I'm going to start over. Ready? It's a cup of hot chocolate. How about you tell a fucking joke? If you're so Mr. Critical over here, you tell one now. Yeah, we all did it.

We all did it. We all fucking did it. I don't know how this is so... And don't you look over to the left of your little list of things to talk to Curtis Conner about. You're telling straight off the dome. Stop it. Stop. Tell one. Chat GBT, please tell me a joke. Tell one. Tell one. I don't really know any fucking knock-knock jokes off the fucking dome, man. None of us told a knock-knock joke.

That's true. I don't know. Why did the plane crash? Do you want us to guess? The pilot was incapacitated. I don't know. Three men boarded the plane. The pilot was a tomato. That's crazy. That would never happen, though. They wouldn't let that happen. Why do you think the plane crashed? The pilot was a fucking tomato. True. That's just a recipe for disaster. There's no way tomatoes fly on a plane, man.

Ain't no way. That's true. I've always said that. laughter

That's your thing, right? Yeah, I got some... People have been trying to... Curtis has been saying, tomatoes, they can't fly planes. And then they keep sending these tomatoes, these fruits, to flight school. Every time we get in a fucking foot-long sub from fucking Subway and he's putting tomatoes on my sandwich, I go, you know. You know they can't fly planes, right? You know that they served in the Air Force. But they still can't fly a plane.

That fucking tomato right there went to Iraq. Oh, I remember. I was going to tell you about the phrases that we like. We're going to introduce you to those. Are you a big fan of phrases? Yeah. Yeah, I like phrases. I don't know if you heard the one I said earlier, but the

Last night question, but that's sort of like a phrase that's been sort of catch. Yeah. Yeah How would you use that in a sentence? So this is sort of the debut event on the chuckle sandwich podcast I remember I yeah before before we started I remember asking you is there anything you want to promote or anything? This is what you're coming in with Yeah, I'm a hard-launching hard-launching this new phrase. Mm-hmm. So Ask me ask me a question like a good Curtis. Okay, so

Sorry, not like your questions haven't been good. I'm just saying, just ask a good one. Okay, no, point taken. Like for once in your life, just like... Yeah, for once in my miserable fucking life. Just ask a question. Curtis, I mean, what's your go-to item at the grocery store, man? Okay, now that is not a last night question. So that's sort of how I would use it. What sort of question is required of a last night question? I think you just sort of... I forget the context in which it even came up.

Well, it's like a question that's... Oh, you know what it was? Yeah. Do you like my cat? That's also not a last night question. I know it kind of is, though. I don't think that's it. So, Curtis, what did you think of Phaedrus' speech, extemporaneous speech at Plato's dinner party and symposium? Now, that's a last night question. That's a last night question right there. That's sort of how I...

Okay. It has to be smart. It has to be smart. It's one of those genre-defining, life-altering sort of cues. Right. Okay. So one of the questions that I would have had for you if Schlatt didn't want me to look over to my list of questions would have been, what was your favorite moment of measured growth from your tour where you feel like you learned something new? Oh, yeah.

Now that, my friend, is the last night question. There we go. Yeah. See, you get it. It's catching on. It'll catch on. I'm wondering, though. I'm wondering. Where I felt like I learned something.

Yeah, like, I don't know. I feel like when, like, the whole thing with comedy is, like, is stand-up is, like, you go up on stage, you try out a, you do your, I mean, I'm sure that at this point, when you did that tour, it was like you were pretty sure that those, that hour that you had prepared was going to, you know, do well because tried and true stuff that you had developed over however long. But from the experience of doing that tour in general, like...

Whether it was about you're like performing your process or touring comedy in general, like did you learn something new that you didn't know before going in? I think so. I think like I was already comfortable on stage, obviously. Like I've been doing it for so long. Like I was like, obviously you get nervous, but it's like I still, you know, I just do it. But I think especially after the like the bus thing, it was sort of like a weird like like revamp of every like, I don't know, like I felt like I was

for so long, I feel like when I do shows, I was like going through like the motions of everything and being like, oh, this is just a fucking, you know, I'll just go upstairs, do my stuff. And then, you know, just, I don't know. Like I wasn't like present. You weren't in it fully. Yeah. Like I was, but like, like in my head, I just wasn't like actually like taking everything in. Um, but so I think it was like once the bus thing happened, I was like, fuck that weekend of shows we had to do, like right after it burned down, it was like,

such a weird like energy everywhere but like after i was like fuck i don't we don't it really sort of like just like re sort of like wired my brain for it and i was like every time i would do a show after it was like it just felt like i was more present and i was able to like actually be like oh like these are people who like bought tickets and like drove and like parked their car and shit and like in like took off days from work to like be there and stuff so it was like because it

It's super easy to just go through the motions and not think about that stuff. But I don't know what it was like halfway through was sort of like it was definitely that sort of changed how I thought about like, you know, everything. And I just very I think it was just more like gratitude for where I was at, I think, for. That's cool. So that's a that's a that's a cool moment to kind of go through, because I'm sure that that made it like ending the tour.

like even like must have been sort of an emotional kind of thing of like yeah is that true or i don't want to assume that you know you're right yeah okay no you're right yeah it was i don't want to assume that you're like a fucking beta cut um no it was definitely emotional at the end it was like the last show we didn't it was in vancouver um and it was like

It was like probably like if not the best, it was one of the best shows in the whole tour because everyone like I feel like the crowd was just like they knew it was the last show. So it was like, yeah, fuck it. We all went. We all did like way longer than we were supposed to because we were just having so much fun. We all looks like I don't know that show. I'll never forget that one, especially because it was like it was like the 57th show that I did on the tour. Yeah, it was a lot of shit. Yeah, it was a lot.

How many per week were you doing? Well, we had some breaks here and there. We had a month off in the middle of tour because we went to Europe. I got married. Congratulations, by the way. Thank you.

But usually the schedule was four days. Like we would do Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And then we'd have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday off. And then just do that for however long. One thing I'm curious about is how the hell did you manage to make videos while this was going on? Well, that was the worst part of tour. And I hated it.

my life because of it. Cause I was getting like a crazy amount of anxiety cause I wasn't able to post on YouTube, which is like the main fucking thing that I do. Um,

So that was like and I also get like super anxious when I don't upload for a while because I'm like people are just going to like that I exist and shit. Yeah. Yeah. You're you're among friends. You're among friends there. Yeah. So there was a lot of that. So it was weird because it was like they do shows for like however many fucking people show up and it's like, oh, people do.

They do care, but still in my head I was like, they don't. They're going to fucking forget about me. They're lying. They showed up just to perpetuate one big lie. The Trick Curtis conspiracy. A part of my brain was like, I'm going to walk on the stage and everyone's going to be like, where's the new video?

But it never happened. All completely in unison, like perfection. Yeah. No. Like they're the fucking little aliens from Toy Story. Yeah. Where's the new video? But it never happened. That's a last night response. Now, if I said I was goosing for a jubbing, what do you think that means?

Goosen for a jubbin? We're back on the phrases now. I figured. If you couldn't tell. Is that like you want to get your dick sucked or something? Honestly, that could work. No, it couldn't actually work, but I would believe that if I didn't know what they meant. So, Goosen...

I thought of that when I did a full... These are both Ted's. No, no, no, no. I totally stepped out of line. Jebben has found its origins in Tucker, which found its origins somewhere else. But let me explain Goosen first. Goosen came, like, in 20... I thought of it in 2021 when I had just done, like, an all-nighter for a video. And it was like, I'm on 27 hours, no sleep. And you hit that. I don't know if you've done an all-nighter for a video, but you hit a certain point where you start getting real silly. Right.

Yeah, it's like and I just gotten the video out and my girlfriend Shay was like Ted you need to sleep and I'm like making mac and cheese and I'm like I'm like the best phrase and so that's where it came from where I was like a Goosen. I just started saying it like I was like, oh I'm goosing for some mac and cheese. It just means that you could really use that thing like right really nice to have it and

Yeah, goosin'. I'm goosin' for some fuckin'... Goosin' to get my dick sucked. Goosin' to get my dick sucked, yeah. Yeah, I'm goosin' to burn down a tour bus. It was you. Guys, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm crazy. I'm just that guy. I'm just that guy. But then, jobbin', Tucker, would you give a definition of jobbin'?

It's not my term. I'm telling it from someone else where I got it. But the way they told it to me is like,

You're really hungry and you finally get that takeout that you've been waiting to get. And you just start eating it so ferociously that there's like shit flying out of it. And you don't even realize you're just like going at it. And somebody watching you would just be like horrified. But you're just eating it so fast that you're making a mess. There's stuff hitting the ceiling, the walls.

Trouble breathing. You probably just disregarded the silverware. The debris could knock an old lady off balance. Okay. Yeah, I've... So, like, past tense would be jubbed? Yeah, like, I jubbed on that Panda Express. Right, yeah, I've definitely jubbed. I'm a jubber. What's your number one sort of... I guess in the place that you're most familiar with, whether it be, like, I guess in Toronto in this case, would be, like, what's your number one jub spot?

The jub hub question. The jub hub, is that what you said? Jub hub's good. Jub hub's good. I like jub hub. Well, I'm sort of, I'm trying to think of like, usually the mindset that I'm at where I'm jubbing is usually if I'm like, if I'm like hammered, right? And you need like, you need food before you go to sleep or else you're going to feel like crap in the morning, right? So it's like, usually, I don't know if this is in America, but

A&W, you guys have that? Oh, yeah. Dude, A&W. Honestly, I think that they are in America, but the only place that I've seen one is outside of Ithaca, New York, which is literally two hours away from the border of Canada and the U.S.,

Right. Yeah. Well, I feel like I have seen... I know you guys have the root beer. You're not talking about the root beer? No, there's an actual fast food place called A&W. Yeah, I'm not just chubbing glasses of root beer. Glasses? Like he's pounding IVC. Yeah, A&W, they have good... Like we get burgers and poutine...

Oh, they have protein? Yeah. A&W Canada fucking rips. It's like really good. Dude. So that's usually what I'd be jubbing. That's something that I don't understand why America didn't just take.

Poutine? Yeah, it's like pretty much the most... It's very American. It's really confusing to me why it's not like widely available in the U.S. Right, yeah. Because they even have it at the... It's like everywhere here. It's in the McDonald's. McDonald's Canada, they had it. They got it at the... When Eddie and I went to the Rainforest Cafe in Niagara Falls, they had...

I got some fish and chips thinking that fish and chips, I don't know why I thought it would be good at the Rainforest Cafe in Ergo Falls. It was not. But the chip part, the fries, they were like, would you like some poutine gravy with that? And I was like, yeah, sure. I guess it's like a specific type of gravy. So they pour it on, and I'm jubbing on that. Yeah, as you should. Yeah, that's definitely a jub-worthy thing.

Yeah, dude. Holy crap. All right. Well, I guess I can... We've been going for about an hour and 20. So I guess I can finish this off with just asking you, what video that you've made on your channel...

Or it could just be like type of video. Are you most proud of? Or what type of video? I guess so it could be what video are you most proud of? Or what type of video do you want to make more of in the future? I mean, we're all thinking it, but that was a last night question. I would say, I don't know. I feel like there's like two that I'm thinking of. You talk about both of them. I'm not going to shoot you if you don't choose. Okay.

Okay, well, yeah, I don't know. My first thought was when I did a video where I tried to become a magician. That was like so... It was a lot of fun because it was sort of like a nostalgic thing because I grew up wanting to learn how to do magic tricks and stuff and be it. I was a fully Criss Angel simp and Stan. I loved Criss Angel and David Blaine. But I just never had the...

Once I learned how hard Magic was, I was like, I'll just play video games instead. Right. So that was cool. And it was also like it tied into this bit that me and Danny had on the tour that we did back in 2019. And I don't know. It was just super fun to just learn something new and just document the whole process of it. And then I also did another video that I liked was...

It's nice that I just get to suck my own wiener to end this podcast. But another thing that I did was awesome. Jubbing on your own wiener? Yeah. Jubbing on these nuts. I did a video that was really fun. It was like the one where I tried to get like a world record speed run. It was another one that was fun.

So you seem to like the project style videos. Yeah. Where you set out to do something. Right. Yeah. They are a lot more rewarding because it's like you can spend, you know, a lot of time on one and it's just like a big... Like commentary is fun, obviously, but... Yeah. And just, you know, it's good to get silly, but, you know, it is fun to actually just set out with a goal and just try to do it. Yeah. Anyone like... Even with like...

Danny and Eddie and like everyone I talked to who was in the same like genre. I'm sure you know, obviously you feel the same as well It's like when you actually get to do like leave your room and like do something it's like yeah It's like it's nice to leave the room. Yeah, it's really cool. It's a nice feeling It's so cool to be outside and smell air Right, and it's also a thing that for like my own ego. Sometimes it's like when I do commentary I'm like I'm not

Like this is like I'm just nothing. I'm not what I'm doing is an original. I'm just like, you know, it's like to produce like a completely unique sort of project is like, yeah, is a fun thing for sure. That's why. Yeah, that's I'm definitely in the same vein. Very proud of like the Rainforest Cafe. For sure. Yeah.

Because it was like just it was without that video was like something I had been thinking about since I initially did a video where I went to a rainforest cafe in 2018. And then since then, I was like, man, if I got big on YouTube, I'd go to every single one. That'd be ridiculous. And then I got a chance to do it. And it's just that kind of stuff is always so fun. Yeah. So anything that is actually like creatively fulfilling like that, it's like such a I don't know, it's such a cool feeling when you actually do it, too, and actually get it done.

Well, hell yeah. Fuck yeah. A question we usually ask our guests when they come on, and obviously this is Chuckle Sandwich. This is a chuckle and a sandwich at the same time. What part of the sandwich are you? I am the mayonnaise. Right now we're a mayonnaise sandwich. I'm the pieces of bread that hold it together. We used to have meat, but it disappeared. So far, mayonnaise and bread. Mm-hmm.

With maybe a little bit of gunpowder residue. Salt-based and gunpowder on there. If you want an example, so what Danny decided to do when we... It can be anything, and Danny took that in a very interesting way where Danny's answer was the notion of a man with a scythe cutting grass with a scythe at sunset.

Whoa. Which was the strangest example. That was the strangest one. It was the weirdest one that we had ever gotten. But that is, it counts, I guess. Okay. But usually we have people giving ingredients of food. Okay. I think. It could be your favorite thing. I would be the tomato thing.
