1:45 Speaker 03 I know, yeah, right?
1:46 H. Foley? Put the RPG down.
1:48 Speaker 02 Yeah. They look good, though. You gotta look.
1:50 Speaker 03 They're comfortable.
1:51 Speaker 02 I'm with it.
1:52 H. Foley? Give us the backstory, because I'm intrigued here. You were born in Estonia, right? And then, do the comedy first. When did you start doing stand-up?
2:01 Speaker 03 I started stand-up in Melbourne, Australia, because there was no real comedy scene in Estonia, but I was like backpacking slash trying to be an MMA fighter.
2:11 H. Foley? Okay.
2:12 Speaker 02 It's a good combo.
2:13 H. Foley? I didn't know that. All right.
2:14 Speaker 03 And then I met this crazy bitch. From the US.
2:19 Speaker 02 Okay.
2:20 Speaker 03 She's like Mexican blood, but the US passport. One of the most powerful combinations of confidence. You know.
2:28 H. Foley? This is in Australia?
2:29 Speaker 03 Uh, this was in Thailand. We met at a hostel.
2:33 H. Foley? Wait, what the fuck?
2:34 Speaker 02 This kid's all over the fucking place.
2:35 Speaker 03 Yeah, I know, dude, no, no, no.
2:36 H. Foley? When did you start back? How old were you when you, when you start, when you go out on this backbacking track?
2:40 Speaker 03 I went, uh, I went with my girlfriend to Thailand when I was like maybe nineteen with my Estonian sweet angel girlfriend.
2:46 H. Foley? Okay.
2:47 Speaker 03 But then you go to Thailand and you're like, I think I need to come back alone.
2:50 Speaker 02 Sure.
2:53 H. Foley? I got you a flight home. I'm gonna stay for the week.
2:55 Speaker 03 Thailand's one of those places, you know?
2:57 Speaker 02 Sure.
2:57 Speaker 03 Sorry, baby, I couldn't find a hotel. You're just fucking on a, getting blown by three dudes.
3:03 Speaker 02 What? That's a vacation, baby.
3:04 Speaker 03 Beautiful angels, those men are there, huh?
3:06 Speaker 02 Sure.
3:07 Speaker 03 Jesus Christ, literally, the perfect skin.
3:08 Speaker 02 Yeah. Um, okay.
3:10 Speaker 03 No transitionary issues.
3:12 Speaker 02 No, no, no.
3:13 Speaker 03 Like, literally, the transition in Thailand from a guy to a gal, it's literally seamless.
3:17 H. Foley? It's over sunglasses?
3:18 Speaker 03 Only the organ.
3:19 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
3:20 H. Foley? So you go over there on vacation with your, with your girl, and you're in Thailand, and then take it from there?
3:25 Speaker 03 And then, uh, I tried comedy in Estonia because I watched Eddie, in my, see, this is, this is the plan. I was like, UFC middleweight champ, maybe light heavy, I'll see how it feels.
3:35 Speaker 02 Sure, yeah, yeah.
3:36 Speaker 03 And I'll do an HBO special on the side.
3:37 Speaker 02 Okay, just for fun.
3:39 Speaker 03 Cause Eddie Murphy seems funny, and I'm riffing in school.
3:43 Speaker 02 Uh huh.
3:43 Speaker 03 I'm funny, he's just talking, I'm just talking. So I started comedy.
3:47 Speaker 02 Delusion of a comic.
3:48 Speaker 03 It's insane.
3:49 Speaker 02 Of a comic who, before they start doing comedy, is crazy.
3:52 Speaker 03 It's insane.
3:52 Speaker 02 I had it myself.
3:53 Speaker 03 Exactly.
3:54 H. Foley? Two, three months, I'll be doing movies.
3:55 Speaker 02 Yeah.
3:56 Speaker 03 Cause, uh, but, I mean, I saw Des Chappelle a little. I saw the For What It's Worth clips.
4:01 Speaker 02 Where you, where did you see Eddie Murphy?
4:02 Speaker 03 The first time I saw was, I was downloading, peer to peer, there was a, do you know LimeWire and Kazaa?
4:08 Speaker 02 Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
4:09 Speaker 03 I tried to download Beverly Hills Cop. Remember how you always get the wrong file?
4:12 Speaker 02 You always get the wrong thing, yeah.
4:13 Speaker 03 Always a guy's dick or something.
4:15 Speaker 02 And you waited like three days to download it and then you open it up, yeah.
4:18 Speaker 03 So I see Eddie Murphy. It says Eddie Murphy. I want Beverly Hills Cop. And it says it's seven megabytes and in my head like, oh, what a deal.
4:26 Speaker 02 Yeah.
4:27 Speaker 03 I don't even think this is gonna be on. So it was an audio file of uh.
4:30 Speaker 02 I've done that too. You just get the audio file.
4:33 Speaker 03 He's delirious.
4:34 Speaker 02 Okay.
4:34 Speaker 03 And I remember being like, cause you don't even know why, why is there so many people laughing? Like, what's the bit?
4:40 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm.
4:40 Speaker 03 And that's always like, um, crazy that, you know, he talks about his, uh, grandmother falling down the stairs. And there's like projects there. And I'm like a white suburban kid in Eastern Europe. Why would I even know what he's talking about? But that's when talent exceeds the reference, you know?
4:58 Speaker 02 Sure.
4:58 Speaker 03 You're like building a picture.
5:00 Speaker 02 You can put it in your brain, yeah.
5:01 Speaker 03 Then it was Dave Chappelle, for what it's worth. He's talking about, hey, baby, you know, the crack baby. What do I know about crack baby?
5:07 Speaker 02 Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
5:08 Speaker 03 But the talent is just there. So that was my first exposure. Then I remember I saw Louis CK clips, you know, I'm like, this fat guy, he's also, because before, I only saw Dave Chappelle and Eddie Murphy and I was like, oh, you gotta be black.
5:20 Speaker 02 You gotta be, yeah, he had to be.
5:21 H. Foley? I like his Eastern European, honestly.
5:23 Speaker 03 You have to be black to be funny.
5:24 Speaker 02 Sure.
5:25 Speaker 03 But then I see Louis.
5:26 H. Foley? So you have to be black to be a comedian?
5:27 Speaker 02 Yeah.
5:27 Speaker 03 Louis CK and he's like, you know, looking top of shit.
5:30 Speaker 02 Yeah.
5:30 Speaker 03 And I'm like.
5:31 Speaker 02 I love you, Louis.
5:32 Speaker 03 I will. One of the greatest of all time. One of the true kings.
5:35 Speaker 02 Sure.
5:36 Speaker 03 One of the true kings. Love his, love the work.
5:38 Speaker 02 Okay. So then, yeah, you start getting exposed. What age is this?
5:42 Speaker 03 This is, well, the exposure starts maybe thirteen to seventeen.
5:45 Speaker 02 How old are you now? I'm sorry.
5:46 Speaker 03 Thirty-two.
5:46 Speaker 02 Okay.
5:47 Speaker 03 And then, uh, so the first time I did comedy, the first three times I booked, uh, maybe, I booked like a bar show and I knew enough people. I got eighty people in there, did an hour and a half.
5:58 Speaker 02 Your first time?
5:59 Speaker 03 Bam. Full bomb.
6:01 Speaker 02 Also, he still has the delusion of like, I'm gonna do ninety. I'm gonna do ninety.
6:06 Speaker 03 Literally. I fly, I got eighty people in there. About forty-five minutes in, I'm bombing so bad.
6:12 H. Foley? This is a bar in Estonia.
6:14 Speaker 03 Yeah.
6:14 H. Foley? Are you, what language are you doing this in?
6:16 Speaker 03 Listen.
6:17 Speaker 02 A little bit of everything. A little bit of Thai.
6:20 Speaker 03 A little Spanish. This is how I did it. I went all in. I did two show, I booked a tour of four.
6:25 Speaker 02 Okay.
6:26 Speaker 03 Bam.
6:27 Speaker 02 Off the rip.
6:28 Speaker 03 I go two in Estonia, but Estonia only has like a million people. I go, let's go international with this motherfucker.
6:34 Speaker 02 Why? Let's think bigger.
6:36 H. Foley? Take this over to Broadway.
6:37 Speaker 03 I don't even speak English properly, so I did two English, bam, two Estonian. Uh, the first show, I was having such a panic attack on stage.
6:45 H. Foley? How many weeks in the comedy is this?
6:47 Speaker 03 No, no, I didn't even have a spot. This is like, day one, I go on stage.
6:51 Speaker 02 I respect the confidence.
6:53 Speaker 03 I did like a, I did street show, I did, I was throwing, I did everything I've ever thought.
6:57 H. Foley? Half a delirious in Estonian?
6:59 Speaker 03 Everything.
7:00 Speaker 02 Sure.
7:01 Speaker 03 Uh, about forty-five minutes in, I'm having like such a, I'm having a panic attack. So then I call a break. I don't, I didn't even know there's an intermission. I literally, about half the crowd, even my best friends leave, cause it's embarrassing. About forty people stay, and then out of panic, you know what I did? I was like, let's do a quiz. So I just did a quiz, but no questions. I was just, I took a laptop on stage and I was Googling things. And then, the quiz just falls apart.
7:31 Speaker 02 As they do, yeah.
7:32 Speaker 03 But I had three more days booked, so it's slowly clear.
7:35 Speaker 02 Three more days? What the fuck?
7:37 Speaker 03 I mean, yeah, so then I did two, one more in Estonian, then I did two in English. I mean, and the crowds went from eighty people to maybe six by the last.
7:45 Speaker 02 Sure. Now, is the comedy, I mean, obviously four shows, whatever, isn't that, is it getting better? Are you getting better?
7:51 Speaker 03 I can't remember.
7:52 Speaker 02 You can't remember.
7:53 Speaker 03 I just remember full panic.
7:55 H. Foley? There's no, there was no, was there any type of comedy scene over there? At all?
7:59 Speaker 03 No, there actually was rumblings, but these guys, you know, I go to the website.
8:04 H. Foley? These guys couldn't do an hour and a half.
8:06 Speaker 03 Exactly. Did you know?
8:07 Speaker 02 I've never even seen any merge.
8:09 Speaker 03 I go to the website, they're like, you gotta sign up and do five, I'm like, five?
8:13 Speaker 02 Five minutes, I do ninety.
8:15 H. Foley? Doing a weekend.
8:16 Speaker 03 So, that's when I moved to Australia, I met the Sweet Ainge.
8:19 H. Foley? So you moved, you proper moved to a show, no college?
8:22 Speaker 03 No, I went to, uh, I went to college for banking for two weeks.
8:27 Speaker 02 Got that down, Pat. That's all I needed.
8:29 H. Foley? I had that.
8:30 Speaker 03 Dude.
8:30 Speaker 02 I had that to fall back on.
8:31 Speaker 03 You know how I left, you know how I left? I literally left my laptop that the school gave me, all my textbooks in the classroom. I took a piss and I looked out of the window, turning the piss, and it was sunny day. And I saw on the way to college, to the, to school that day, I saw that there was from nine to ten, fifty percent off on baby back ribs.
8:52 Speaker 02 Sure.
8:53 Speaker 03 And you know what I did? Made piss. I just left school.
8:57 Speaker 02 That's like, that's like Good Will Hunting.
8:59 Speaker 03 And actually went to eat baby burger grapes and listen to a Joey Diaz album, I think.
9:04 Speaker 02 Wow.
9:04 Speaker 03 I just decided I'm never going back to school.
9:06 H. Foley? And that was it? And were you fighting? When did you start fighting? When did you start doing MMA?
9:10 Speaker 03 I like fifteen, sixteen.
9:11 H. Foley? Like actually doing it? Like you're training in a gym and all that kinda stuff?
9:15 Speaker 03 I wasn't never good, listen, I was never good, but I competed and shit. Uh, so then, yeah, yeah, when I started coming in Melbourne, then they were like, no, no, the three minute, there's an opener, don't do street. Then I started learning the rules.
9:27 H. Foley? And you moved to Australia for comedy?
9:30 Speaker 03 For pussy. Uh, because I met the girl in Thailand.
9:35 Speaker 02 And she was living in Australia?
9:37 Speaker 03 Yeah, and she was like, you're not a fighter, you're funny, and then she gave me that confidence.
9:41 H. Foley? So you met the girl while you were on vacation with your girlfriend?

12:57 Speaker 03 Yeah, exactly.
12:58 Speaker 02 Yeah, I didn't need that.

15:03 Speaker 02 I've seen the program, I'm familiar.
15:04 Speaker 03 Somebody cut off the pussy, saved it for later in the fridge.
15:06 Speaker 02 Sure.
15:07 Speaker 03 You know, the classic.
15:08 Speaker 02 Sure.
15:09 Speaker 03 And the investigator says something, says like a sentence like, oh, if, if both parents have brown eyes, the chances of a brown eyed kid coming out is like 99%. Says something like a sentence like that.
15:24 H. Foley? Okay.
15:25 Speaker 03 I'm a kid, I don't know shit about shit. But the tension in our

25:31 Speaker 02 What the fuck, dude?
25:32 Speaker 03 So, I would cut my mom a deal. I would tell my mom, "Listen, I'm not going to school." She's like, "What do you mean?" And I'm like, "Uh, this is not for me."
25:38 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm.
25:39 Speaker 03 She's like, "You gotta go to school." I'm like, "Okay, I got you a deal." I'm not there at 8 a.m., it's just not possible.
25:43 Speaker 02 I got too much shit going on here. My schedule's jam-packed, isn't it? I got jerking off, I just figured that out.
25:50 Speaker 03 Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is coming out? I'm interested in a girl.
25:54 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm.
25:55 Speaker 03 And also, it's too early. I don't like early stuff. She's like, "Okay." So I cut her a deal. I said, "I'll go to school every..." Cause I was sometimes missing for two weeks straight.
26:04 Speaker 02 Just not going. What were you, what was that day? You're just hanging at the house, dicking around?
26:09 Speaker 03 Hanging at the house!

26:22 H. Foley? What the fuck does school say about that?
26:24 Speaker 03 They didn't like it, but...
26:26 Speaker 02 He's got the karate guy, they're gonna end up hanging out.
26:29 Speaker 03 It's a public school and rest of the fucking, it was like a, high school was also like, it's mandatory.
26:36 Speaker 02 Yeah, it's most places it's mandatory.
26:38 Speaker 03 And they don't want, uh, and the teacher doesn't want to fuck your life up, so you can kinda deal with the teacher. I mean, I'm not causing no fuss, I'll just be here at eleven.

29:24 Speaker 02 All the cash, yeah.
29:24 Speaker 03 All the cash. And then I was like, jeez, I gotta get into that. And then I did bartending for maybe seven or eight years in nightclubs, restaurants.
29:32 H. Foley? This is all in this, what city did you grow up outside?
29:34 Speaker 03 Tallinn, it's in Estonia, like that's the main capital. But I did that in Melbourne. Dude, I worked for a Jamie Oliver restaurant in Melbourne for a month. Because I knew I'm going to only last a month.
29:44 Speaker 02 Walking out with cases of lobsters.
29:46 H. Foley? Get why they're getting's good.
29:48 Speaker 03 And restaurants always, they always hire, especially in Australia or England and in America, I bet too, because I'm like a blue eyed European. You want to have this guy around, but I would just be like, they're like, what's your qualifications? I'm like, qualifications?
30:01 Speaker 02 I like to steal, I like to sleep in.
30:03 Speaker 03 Yeah, I know it all. I would do the shittiest cocktails for forty bucks a cocktail at the finest restaurants. And then for a month, I would just get the bag.
30:11 Speaker 02 Yeah.
30:12 Speaker 03 Yeah.
30:13 Speaker 02 Stealing from the register. Did you ever get caught?
30:16 Speaker 03 Yeah! I got caught every, eventually.
30:19 Speaker 02 I wasn't sure if he was doing it for a month and then getting the fuck out of there.
30:22 Speaker 03 The only places I haven't, uh, it didn't steal, was some of the nightclubs I worked later when I already did comedy. And the bu- owners would be my bosses, they would let me do comedy.
30:30 Speaker 02 Sure they would work with you.
30:31 Speaker 03 If I always knew the guy, but if the boss is stealing.
30:35 H. Foley? You're stealing.
30:37 Speaker 02 Yeah, I mean.
30:37 Speaker 03 Like if a boss, if I show up, if I show up for the b- b- b- weekly meeting, and I come the bu- with the bus, and you come with a maserati.
30:45 Speaker 02 Sure's a, yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:47 H. Foley? Yeah, but that's the owner of the restaurant. You're a bus boy.
30:49 Speaker 03 Yes.
30:51 H. Foley? You, you don't see the difference in that?
30:53 Speaker 03 No.
30:53 H. Foley? No.
30:54 Speaker 03 Cause.
30:55 H. Foley? What is my maserati?
30:56 Speaker 02 He doesn't need to rub that maserati in my face.
30:58 Speaker 03 I don't need a maserati, but just like pick me up, you know?
31:02 Speaker 03 So if the, if the, if I'm, if I'm cleaning up puke.
31:05 Speaker 02 Sure.
31:05 Speaker 03 At 3am in the nightclub, and then you come, you get, la, la, la, you get four grand, and I make 5.60 an hour plus tip?
31:13 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm.
31:14 Speaker 03 And you go off with the maserati with the girl I wanna fuck?
31:18 Speaker 02 Get robbed.
31:19 Speaker 03 It's the, I think it's the deal of the universe.
31:21 H. Foley? You've got a target on your back with this guy.
31:24 Speaker 03 It's the deal with the universe.
31:25 Speaker 02 Uh-huh.
31:25 H. Foley? Any cops ever get involved? You ever get, get pinched? Close to getting pinched?
31:30 Speaker 03 No.
31:30 H. Foley? No?
31:31 Speaker 03 No, no pinching happening.
31:31 H. Foley? Alright.
31:32 Speaker 03 No pinching happening.
31:32 H. Foley? Okay.
31:33 Speaker 02 Hmm.
31:34 H. Foley? So then you're doing comedy over in Melbourne, you're with the, you're with the, the lady.
31:37 Speaker 03 With the lady.
31:38 H. Foley? You guys are living together. How long are you over there for?
31:41 Speaker 03 A year, then my visa expired.
31:43 H. Foley? Okay, and then where do you go?
31:44 Speaker 02 And you had to go back to Estonia?
31:45 Speaker 03 Then I went to Thailand for a year, and I did all the comedy.
31:47 Speaker 02 Jesus Christ, this guy in fucking Thailand.
31:48 Speaker 03 I did comedy in Malaysia, Cambodia.
31:50 H. Foley? What the fuck? You in Thailand?
31:52 Speaker 03 Dude, I had a set in Cambodia where I'm like doing it for these expats, 20 people in the crowd. One of them was Arish Chaffir randomly.
31:58 Speaker 02 No shit, oh yeah, that makes sense. Wow.
32:01 H. Foley? Did she go with you to Thailand, the girl? That was it for her, huh?
32:05 Speaker 02 He go, he, if he had not picked it up, he does Thailand solo now. He made that mistake once. Now he does Thailand by himself.
32:11 H. Foley? And where do you live when you're over there? What are you, you're 19, 20?
32:15 Speaker 03 Working at, working at hostels, you know, like, uh, you get to stay for free if you do the barrel, which.
32:22 H. Foley? Jesus fucking Christ.
32:24 Speaker 03 Yeah, so.
32:25 H. Foley? You're how assassins are made.
32:26 Speaker 03 Yeah, I know.
32:27 H. Foley? That's how you make an assassin.
32:29 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:30 H. Foley? Jesus. And then, how do you, then, how do you get here?
32:33 Speaker 03 Um, my first time I did the Seattle International Comedy Competition, and I lived in Vancouver for a year.
32:38 Speaker 02 So you're right there.
32:39 H. Foley? Okay. Alright, so then, after Thailand, you go to Vancouver?
32:42 Speaker 03 No, I lived in Estonia, became a superstar there, took over the scene.
32:46 Speaker 02 Did you really?
32:46 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:47 Speaker 02 How big were you in Estonia?
32:49 Speaker 03 You name it.
32:51 Speaker 02 You name it, Baldi.
32:52 Speaker 03 But it's a small, it's, it's like being a collegiate athlete.
32:55 Speaker 02 I understand.
32:56 Speaker 03 You know, you're famous in the college town. It's like a million people. I mean, how famous can you get?
33:00 Speaker 02 So you, I didn't, I didn't know that about, I didn't know that about, I didn't know that you had, uh, a proper career in Estonia. So you were doing like theaters there?
33:07 Speaker 03 Yeah.
33:07 Speaker 02 Yeah, no shit.
33:09 H. Foley? Making money.
33:10 Speaker 03 Yeah.
33:10 H. Foley? Doing well. Are you living back at your mom's house?
33:12 Speaker 03 Nah.
33:13 H. Foley? You're living in?
33:13 Speaker 02 What's that house look like there, when you were doing well?
33:16 Speaker 03 Well, I just, no, I mean, American standards are different. You guys make millions of dollars. That's different.
33:24 Speaker 02 We don't, but yeah.
33:26 Speaker 03 Yeah, I saw you at the Brooklyn Comedy Club five years ago. I remember I met you guys like five years ago for the first time, and it was Brooklyn Comedy Club, two black people in the crowd, and us three. Like, really entertaining, it's just a couple.
33:37 Speaker 02 I did ninety minutes.
33:38 Speaker 03 Just a couple. Oh, we did long, by the way. All of us did like twenty-five, in our notebook, having a fucking panic attack.
33:44 Speaker 02 Fumbling through it. What else, uh?
33:46 Speaker 03 And we were heading nowhere. I didn't have a passport, you didn't have this, it was bad. I don't think you had this podcast five years ago, right?
33:53 Speaker 02 No, no, no, no, no.
33:54 H. Foley? I don't even remember this.
33:55 Speaker 02 I don't remember that either, and it's making me.
33:56 H. Foley? I don't think Brooklyn Comedy Club was around five years ago, was it?
33:59 Speaker 03 Old Man Hustle or whatever was the name of that.
34:01 H. Foley? Okay.
34:02 Speaker 03 I just remember us three having a full-on panic attack.
34:05 Speaker 02 I kind of vaguely remember this now that you're saying it.
34:07 Speaker 03 Cause this is going nowhere, you know?
34:09 Speaker 02 Sure. How, you're just staring out the abyss. I should have, I was probably talking to you going, I could move to Estonia.
34:14 Speaker 03 And I remember.
34:15 Speaker 02 I could be the fucking funniest guy in Estonia right now.
34:17 Speaker 03 I remember I introduced myself to you. I go, I'm from Estonia. You go, sure.
34:20 Speaker 02 No, no, no, no, no, no way.
34:22 Speaker 03 Like, you were like, oh, another thing.
34:25 Speaker 02 That does not sound, maybe it was.
34:27 Speaker 03 Like another thing.
34:28 Speaker 02 Well, I apologize.
34:29 Speaker 03 Yeah, another thing.
34:30 H. Foley? He's stealing your wallet at the time?
34:32 Speaker 03 Yeah.
34:33 H. Foley? Alright, Jesus Christ, Ari, what the fuck?
34:35 Speaker 02 This guy's all over the fucking map, literally.
34:37 H. Foley? So you, how long are you in Estonia where, where you're doing good? Were you, were you the, were you the big star?
34:41 Speaker 03 I did like three or four years, but this, uh, it was going well, yeah. We were building a scene. There were some other comedians there. We were all doing great, you know, the scene was building.
34:51 Speaker 02 And you got a lot of tourism in the city that you're in, right?
34:54 Speaker 03 Yeah, but we're doing it in Estonia still. It's very...
34:57 Speaker 02 Okay.
34:58 Speaker 03 I have a podcast there. Things are going great, but I just felt like...
35:01 Speaker 02 You want more?
35:03 Speaker 03 Yeah, I just wanted to do, skill-wise, a bit better, and there's nobody really to follow.
35:07 Speaker 02 Okay.
35:07 Speaker 03 And I know how British people are gonna get upset by this, but... There's only one place in the world where stand-up comedy is stand-up comedy, and it's the United States.
35:19 Speaker 02 Yes, USA, baby.
35:21 Speaker 03 Like, the free-form, personality-based storytelling, going for the edge. Like, British comedy is amazing. The jokes are amazing, all that.
35:31 Speaker 02 It's very thematic, it's very... Yeah, yeah. It's just a different art, a different style of the art form.
35:35 Speaker 03 And in Estonia was similar, because we were influenced by the Soviet... So, the only good thing about communism is they build amazing theaters, you know, because you have to build these theaters for all these public speakers.
35:44 Speaker 02 Yeah, Germany's the same.
35:46 Speaker 03 Exactly.
35:46 Speaker 02 It has great theaters.
35:47 H. Foley? Comedy's another way around a sound system, I'll tell you that.
35:50 Speaker 03 When you're trying to control, like, your people, what you do is you build the culture, because you have to control the subconscious of your people.
35:57 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm.
35:58 Speaker 03 So then all these remnants of these beautiful theaters... There'd be like a town of 2,000 people in Estonia, the theater's 800 seats.
36:04 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah.
36:04 Speaker 03 Beautiful.
36:05 Speaker 02 All those, all those, like, eastern... Germany is where they all... Every little village has a theater that will fit most of the village.
36:12 Speaker 03 That's what slavery and shit does.
36:14 Speaker 02 Sure, sure.
36:16 Speaker 03 Build me a fucking...
36:18 Speaker 02 Just go.
36:19 H. Foley? Best green rooms in the world.
36:20 Speaker 03 Exactly.
36:21 Speaker 02 Give me a thousand, thousand-seater now.
36:23 Speaker 03 But there was the remnants of the theater culture, I think also in England. This is just a theory, but I think in England, where comedy's amazing, of course, it's always been a thing from the theaters where the classism has developed a thing where a performer is looked, like, the performer looks down on the crowd and they love it. Like, British people love to think you're a grandiose thing.
36:46 Speaker 02 It is. It's more of a presentation. They even call them, like, presenters. It's more of a presentation.
36:50 Speaker 03 I think so.
36:50 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:51 Speaker 03 And people love that. People love, like, shit on us, shit in my mouth, you know? Like, whereas, I think America, this is what I think, Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, it's all about, fuck them, fuck the system, I'm in with the crowd.
37:03 Speaker 02 It's very common man, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's I'm speaking for us, not to you.
37:06 Speaker 03 The stage is lower, I'm in, fuck everybody, fuck this, you know, whereas I'm one of you guys, so I think the rebellious comedy where fuck the system and all that, I think it's more from here.
37:18 H. Foley? Right.
37:18 Speaker 02 Gotcha. That makes sense.
37:19 Speaker 03 Which is what I love, I love that style.
37:21 H. Foley? And when did you land over here?
37:24 Speaker 03 Well, officially, I moved here in June, uh, to the, Austin, Texas, Joe Rogan, the one true king.
37:32 Speaker 02 Shout out Rogues.
37:33 Speaker 03 Shout out, shout out Joe Rogan, my one true king.
37:36 H. Foley? Is that where you moved first? Did you move to Austin? When you came here?
37:40 Speaker 03 Yes, I've visited New York a few times, you know, I've tried, I've never just gotten traction, I'm not a big...
37:46 Speaker 02 It's tough to get traction in New York. It's very tough. There's so many, there's just so many comments.
37:50 H. Foley? Wait, June of this year? That's when you got here?
37:52 Speaker 03 Like, moved here, yeah.
37:54 H. Foley? Okay, when did you do Kill Tony for the first time?
37:56 Speaker 03 Um, fuckin', March.
38:00 H. Foley? Pre-mothership?
38:01 Speaker 03 March.
38:01 Speaker 02 No shit.
38:02 H. Foley? March of this year?
38:04 Speaker 03 Yeah, when I did, yes, when I did Kill Tony, I signed up for the open mic at the mothership, and I did so well at the, at the open mic, I got on, like, maybe 10 minutes later, I killed Tony.
38:14 H. Foley? Just randomly you got on?
38:15 Speaker 03 Yeah.
38:16 H. Foley? That's fu- I didn't know this was that quick.
38:17 Speaker 02 Because I think the last time we did it, maybe...
38:19 Speaker 03 Then I was already...
38:20 H. Foley? Oh, you had ju- you had just popped, yeah.
38:21 Speaker 02 You were like a few weeks, and that was in March, maybe.

43:19 Speaker 02 You get so much more value out of it.
43:21 Speaker 03 Dude, I've lived in New York, and I've lived under the, I've lived in a basement apartment.

43:42 H. Foley? I like it.
43:43 Speaker 03 It's crazy.
43:44 H. Foley? Did you have money, did you have money saved up in your pocket when you got to Austin in March?
43:49 Speaker 03 I mean, I was going on a limb. I was going on a dream.
43:51 Speaker 02 You're rolling the dice.
43:52 Speaker 03 Yeah, I was rolling. I can always, I can always just add a 2,000 seater in Estonia. I can always do that.
43:56 H. Foley? Oh, that's true.
43:58 Speaker 02 The homecoming tour, the run back real quick.
44:01 Speaker 03 But I also, of course, want to do a good show and I have to do it in Estonia. So it was, for me, it's like all in or nothing because I have to learn English. I have to compete with these Ameri- I can't just take three months off to be in Estonia and lose.
44:15 Speaker 02 Lose all the ground you're making.
44:17 Speaker 03 Everyone's coming, dude. Hey, hey.

48:46 Speaker 02 Well, that, yeah. That's a great thing about the Eastern Europeans is like, they don't, they go, what are the rules? I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna abide by 75% of them. You, you, they, they're very much.
48:57 H. Foley? But let's see if we can work around this for mutual benefit.
49:00 Speaker 02 Italians are kinda the same way. Let's cut out the middle and, and do this cash or whatever.
49:04 Speaker 03 Exactly.
49:05 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:05 Speaker 03 I love a cash deal.
49:06 Speaker 02 Love a cash deal. What was the one, either in Estonia when you started making money, or I guess here, one stupid purchase where you were like, I didn't need to fucking, was it like a car, a fucking motorcycle?
49:17 H. Foley? Are you blowing the cash on anything?
49:18 Speaker 02 Is there anything where you're like, that was fucking stupid?
49:20 Speaker 03 I'm not a materialistic person. I like food.
49:24 H. Foley? Okay.
49:25 Speaker 03 And I like traveling and I like hotels. I like, I'm a service guy.
49:29 Speaker 02 Sure.
49:29 Speaker 03 I've never been a nice things guy. You know why I don't like nice things? They give me a panic attack because.
49:35 H. Foley? Someone like you's gonna steal them.
49:38 Speaker 03 Because it's gonna get, it's gonna get, I think it's gonna get hurt.
49:41 Speaker 02 Sure.
49:42 Speaker 03 Like if you buy a new iPhone, I just bought a new iPhone maybe two years ago, like, first time in my.
49:46 Speaker 02 That's not a new iPhone.
49:47 Speaker 03 I know, I know, no, no, I know. But that time it was new.
49:49 Speaker 02 Sure, when you bought it.
49:50 Speaker 03 And I've always been a guy, I go, see, like, my old, you know how I bought a old MacBook? You go on, you go on Craigslist, right? There's always these fucking.
50:00 Speaker 02 So that's what you're doing. You're like, I need a new computer. You go on Craigslist.
50:02 Speaker 03 There's always these rich suburban women. Who are like buying, uh, who are like selling their lap, husbands laptops, their kids laptops. They don't know what the model is.
50:12 Speaker 02 Sure.
50:12 Speaker 03 So they just put up a picture, they go MacBook. And you can see it's like a newer model. Then you write up, you go, hey. How's that 2014, 20, 128 gigabyte model doing?
50:23 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm.
50:24 Speaker 03 They don't know it's actually the one terabyte 2016 model.
50:28 Speaker 02 So you, you tell them, you're like, ah, that's not worth, uh, you know. That's pretty good.
50:33 Speaker 03 That's what I used to do.
50:34 Speaker 02 Uh-huh.
50:35 H. Foley? Then he bangs him and takes the laptop.
50:37 Speaker 03 Then two years ago, I snapped. Cause I've been walking past these beautiful Apple stores. I've never even walked into one. You know with the, when the white and the.
50:44 Speaker 02 Yeah, sure.
50:44 Speaker 03 Like, uh, all the people are like.
50:46 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What can I do for you today?
50:49 Speaker 03 Exactly. And I snapped. This was before I was supposed to do a, uh, when I was doing a theater. I remember I was walking towards the theater and I walked back to the store and I fucking, cause my iPhone was fucking slow, sluggish. I snapped. So when I said, give me everything. Give me the best, give me the best, give me the best. So then I buy this fucking iPhone for 1500 or something.
51:07 Speaker 02 Yeah, they're expensive.
51:08 Speaker 03 Whatever the fuck it is. And now for six months, every time I go to an airport, you put it in the box and they handle the box a bit rough.
51:16 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
51:17 Speaker 03 I have a seizure.
51:18 Speaker 02 Sure.
51:18 Speaker 03 I'll like, I'll kill you if I.

51:35 Speaker 03 When I take this, when I take this watch off, when I take this watch off, put it in the air, uh, box.
51:38 Speaker 02 Uh-huh.
51:39 Speaker 03 Don't make these things. Don't do this, please. If I see.
51:43 Speaker 02 How much was that watch?
51:45 Speaker 03 It's not expensive. It's like 500. This is nothing. But it's just, I don't like, I don't like.
51:51 Speaker 02 I can't get a fucking read on this dude. He's nuts. He's crazy.
51:54 Speaker 03 I can't have expensive things around me. I like expensive things, but if I.

1:06:49 H. Foley? Where do you have to steal a pen from?
1:06:51 Speaker 03 I don't have to steal, but if I see a nice pen with the ink going, flowing out smoothly. You know when somebody lends you a pen and you write with it and you're like, this feels amazing?
1:06:59 H. Foley? You're keeping it.
1:07:01 Speaker 02 Oh, hey, I forgot.

1:07:25 Speaker 03 You know what my theory is? If I forget it somewhere.

1:07:31 Speaker 03 No, no, no, no. Let's say I leave it on the table. And some guy, you know how some comedians are like, look at this card and it's planted with gold?
