Hilarious Antics and Stories
---

Josiah: But I do wanna say the first time I saw you on stage I didn't know what to think. I saw you at the tally hoe. Okay. And I was like, oh [00:03:00] God, what's this guy doing? You know, you, you remind me of a comedian I hate. Oh God. Oh, that's wonderful.

Welcome to the show, by the way. Tim Robinson. Oh, you hate him? I hate him. Actually hit him. I don't think he's funny at all. You 

Tay Nay: like, I think you should leave. Uh, no. Oh, really? I think 

Josiah: it's. Like the, 

Doug: the worst show in the world. I'm like, yeah. And he reminds you? Yeah. Or you remind him of that. 

Tay Nay: Did I win you over?

Or you, this is like, are you guys gonna beat me up? 

Josiah: No, no, no, no, no. So then I saw you like second time, the third time. And then I got like, I got to hear your style and now you're one of the my favorite comedians in the area that's doing comedy. Sweet. Fucking love your stuff. Hell yeah. I love how it's like, I don't know why this isn't, hang on one second.

There we go. I love, I love how it's like, I call it stream of consciousness because when you're up there, it doesn't really seem like you have, and this don't take offense to this, it doesn't seem like you have anything prepared. Yeah. Okay. Cool. And it's all like, off the top of your head and maybe you do have stuff prepared.

Yeah. But that's just the way you deliver it. Yeah. And makes sense. And, and you, [00:04:00] and, and so for our listeners, he also does a lot of, sounds and songs just sort of off the cuff. Yeah. And they're just random. Or maybe they're pre-written or rehearsed, but I don't really know. Yeah, a little bit of both.


The Tonka Truck Bit
---

Josiah: Talk to us about kind of your your, your style and how you got into comedy and and how long have you been doing this? 

Tay Nay: I've been doing it like a year and a half about. Okay. I think I've been funny my whole fucking life. We curse. We can curse, right? Fuck no. Fuck yeah. No, you fucking can't. Fuck. Yeah.

Actually I can do a curse drop. 

Doug: I remember going off something that Josiah just said about you. I remember the second time I saw you and I was shocked that you were doing some of the same jokes. 'cause I thought the first time I saw you, I thought you were kind of just rambling. Yeah. But it was hilarious.

Like it was, it was like almost like a, it's hard to say like a scripted free thought. Like he's saying where it's, it. The second time I heard it, I was like. Oh wow. I want to, I want to hear the Tonka truck thing is just, it, it caught me where I was like, oh shit. He's saying a joke. Oh [00:05:00] shit. There's another part to the joke.

Yeah. And it just kept going. And, and I love the Tonka truck. 

And then by like, the third time I saw you, I 

was like dying to hear the shame shit again. And yeah. And it just, it still, 

Josiah: yeah. So, so if you see your your tagline not to cut you off, Doug. I saw that butt Tye 

Tay Nay: Tonka a truck enthusiast. I'm down with the Tonka.

Why not? So, yeah, I 

Doug: didn't, I didn't know you were, I didn't know it was so, written out as you have it. 


Comedy Inspirations and Influences
---

Tay Nay: It's like, I don't, I have a hard time writing jokes. Like I don't really watch much standup to begin with. Okay. So a lot, like, my inspiration comes from like more sketch and elongated things. Mm-hmm. So like, 

Josiah: I think you should leave type stuff.

Tay Nay: Yeah. I, I love that show, but also like, like in short bursts 'cause it's a bit. You say it gives you anxiety? Yeah, it does. Yeah. It's very anxiety inducing. I think that's part of it. It's very like distinct, kind of hard to put your finger on. What's funny about it, which I like, 

Josiah: and that's my problem with it is, I don't know what, have you seen it?

Doug: I don't know what the hell you're talking about. All 

Josiah: right. It's the show, it's it sketch comedy show. It's like in its [00:06:00] third or fourth season on Netflix. It's called, I think you should leave. It's by a comedian, Tim Robinson. Yeah. I think he was on Saturday Night Live as a writer for a little bit. Yeah, yeah.

It's anti comedy. Okay. Anti cringe comedy where it's like, there's no, there's nothing funny about it, but 

Tay Nay: yeah, it's, that's what people definitely a magic. I don't, I guess not a magic that sounds like pretentious, but there's, there's something to it that's hard to like discern. What's funny about it, it, it won me over.

I didn't like it at first when I first, maybe I need to give 

Josiah: it another try because I gotta check it out. When you go on Reddit and you bad mouth it, they'll. They'll just jump all over you. Yeah. And you're like, there's a huge cult following. Yeah. There's a big following for it. I've 

Doug: never been on Reddit.

Really? Never swear to God. That's my social, that's 

Tay Nay: all I do. Never have. Yeah. I'm a big 

Josiah: subreddit guy. I haven't been on Reddit. What's, what's your handle so people can follow you? I don't have one on Reddit. You just, you just browse. You just browse. Yeah. I don't You're a voyeur. Just peeking in. Yeah. Okay.

There's a lot of good stuff on 

Tay Nay: there. There's a lot of Gone Wild. That's a good one's. The porn. Yik. It's very intimate. I [00:07:00] subscribe 

Josiah: to 

Tay Nay: The 

Josiah: Gone Wild. 


Work Life and Stand-Up Comedy
---

Doug: Can we talk about something that te likes to do that literally as Marty put, it broke me. 

Josiah: What's this? I don't know. Yeah, absolutely. And it was 

Doug: at your, it was at the first open mic that you did.

Yeah. So I forget what is country it? Dan Club, country Club Comedy Dan. Yeah. Dan was up doing his set and he was recording himself on a tripod, some, something like that. And Marty's standing next to me, Tay standing next to him. And Tay has his, has his own phone in his hand and he is reaching over to put something in on his phone onto Dan's phone while he's recording.

And it is just a bunch of gay dudes naked named Dan. And, and I didn't, I didn't know what he was doing at first, and I'm like, I couldn't see what was on his phone. And then I could see through Dan's phone what was on his phone. And that's really funny. I look over at Tay and he has this face like. This is the right thing to do.

Like, like they were like, huh? What do you think? What do you think? Huh? Like, [00:08:00] funny, I didn't expect to break you that Oh my God. I couldn't stop. I had to walk out. I had to walk outside. Were 

Tay Nay: airdropping. Yeah. It was like a slowly pulled inside of his thing. Yeah, it was just 

Doug: right in front of his camera. Oh, in front of, so, so like, as he's recording his set, so now Dan's going home going, oh, I wanna see how that set went.

And he didn't know. And every, every so often, a bunch of dicks up appear in front of his phone. Who's 

Tay Nay: Dan? Uh, Daniel Oravec. Yeah, 

Josiah: yeah, yeah. Okay. So he didn't know that you were doing this while Of course he was on set. Of course he didn't. That's the whole funny part of it. 

Tay Nay: It's a treat for him later on.

Doug: That's what I'm saying. So Dan's going home and going, oh, I 

Josiah: want to see how that set went. Have you ever heard anything about it? He, no, he didn't. 

Doug: Well, Marty told me, I thought, or no, not Marty, Collin told me I was, I told Colin about it. Yeah. And I was like, dude, he was doing this thing. He goes, oh, he does that to everybody.

Tay Nay: I think just having porn on your phone case. That's funny. I don't know. Can you hand me, hand me your remote? I'm just Absolutely. 

Josiah: I'm gonna fix your, um, yeah, I've only ed that 

Tay Nay: your mic once, but I [00:09:00] wanna keep making, but I keep having things going on. I know you're 

Josiah: supposed to go to the February one and you got tied up.

Mm-hmm. 

Tay Nay: I 

Josiah: don't know what, I was 

Tay Nay: doing 

Josiah: something 

Tay Nay: more important. 

Doug: Where, where was the first place you ever did standup? Like at an open mic or something? Uh, 

Tay Nay: steel stacks and then Tally. Yeah. And Tally was like my main one to go to for a while. 

Doug: That one's, we say it every time, but Nick is so awesome. Yeah.

Yeah. I love Nick and he runs a good show, so. 

Josiah: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Tally was the first time that I saw you. Yeah. And I love, and, and, and I'm sorry that every time you're up on stage and you're like, does anyone, what's anyone wanna talk about? I'm always like, talk a truck. I always make you do it. 

Tay Nay: That one's hard to do too.

'cause I like to start my sets with like. Something stupid like that. Mm-hmm. Or like something performative. And that one's usually like, Hey, I'm, if I'm at a show, I'm like, Hey, here's a poem I wrote Yeah. About myself. And people like think it's really a poem and it's just a fake story about my brother having sex with two twins shaped neighbor boys and bing a donker truck.

It's just stupid. I know. Yeah. 

Josiah: You do start with like, maybe a bunch of sounds or noises. Yeah. And you'd be like, mm. Yeah. [00:10:00] And then you'll turn that into like a song. Mm-hmm. And people like, people, people will be like, what the fuck's this guy doing? Is he, does he tell jokes or is he just doing this Tom Green thing?

Or he is just like, Joshua. Joshua. 

Tay Nay: I do get conflicted with it. 'cause I don't write joke jokes, not sound like pretentious about, but I don't, like, I have a hard time sitting down and being like, what bothers me? And they're writing like a setup, punch line delivery. Mm-hmm. So it's more of a flowing thing and it's.

I dunno if it's, 

Josiah: I think it, I think it works for you. Yeah. 

Doug: Works. I love it. It's more of a ride of, uh, than a joke. It's, you know, you're, you're, you're just going, Hey, come here, come here, come here. And then lead them to the punchline. I love the style. It works when it 

Tay Nay: works, but if I don't have that flow and I'm trying to do like, just bits that are kind of separate, uh, kind of loose, that make a little, I love style 

Josiah: is your one comic that, you know, I'll, I'll, I'll use the bathroom and take a piss and ship when other people go up.

But when you're, when you go up, I gotta watch it. Thanks, man. Because it's sometimes 

Doug: he doesn't go to the bathroom when he takes a piss and shit. He just hangs out in there for you. He makes sure he doesn't do any of those. Thank 

Josiah: you. Yeah. So I [00:11:00] don't know, do you want to do the Tonka truck thing or not to put you on the spot?

Tay Nay: I could if you want me to. 

Doug: And I, I'm not gonna say no. 

Tay Nay: Yeah. 

Doug: Let's just, just do it. Good. You said you want to build it, 

Tay Nay: you said you have to build up to it, so whatever. Don't you start with it. So whatever you need to do. I find it works best at shows when I start up. With it because I say like, Hey, here's a little, I know this is supposed to be a comedy show, but I wanna start with, I think it helps when you know something about the comedian, it makes you a little more intimate towards them.

You understand a bit of them. So I have a poem it's big rig Tonka trucks, train on Trav. Don't tell mom, don't tell dad big rig Tonka truck train on travel. No. Yeah. And I love how 

Josiah: you, your voice changes. Yeah. But then you repeat it and you kind of like, yeah. The back stories was funny. You raised the stakes.

Mm-hmm. 

Tay Nay: Because it's. Growing up, I had these, my brother's name's Travis. We were nicknamed him tra and growing up we had these two refrigerator shaped neighbor twin boys that we nicknamed Big rig Tonka truck. And one time I walked in on big rig Tonka truck train on Trav. Don't tell mom, don't tell dad. 

Josiah: So that's what I mean.

So someone runs play, and I'm [00:12:00] trying to read into this now. Is someone running a train on someone? Yeah. Big ring and Tonka trunk. Hold 

Doug: on, hold on, hold on. Don't ex, don't explain. You're a fucking, you know what the hell is funny about that? 

Tay Nay: Too? Big, big. You're 

Doug: saying all this time that, how many times have you heard him say this?

I 

Josiah: just thought it was a catchy song. You, I didn't know that it was sexual. You didn't all, I just thought Tonka trunk, 

Tay Nay: refrigerator shaped neighbor, twin boys. We nicknamed Big rig and Tonka truck and I walked in on them kind of Eiffel Tower, my brother. EI didn't really like E Tower. Eiffel Tower one in Eel.

Doug: You got, you can't tell me. You don't know what that is. 

Tay Nay: Are you pr? Are you prude? No, no. It's one in the butt. One in the mouth. And they're over. 

Doug: They're Eiffel towering. This is it right here. I wanna 

Josiah: do it. We 

Tay Nay: can 

Josiah: do it. 

Tay Nay: I 

Josiah: didn't know about that. Show you that's, I did not know the Eiffel Tower. I did not. And I was just In case.

You're the 

Doug: bridge. We're the tower. Okay, 

Josiah: so that really 

Tay Nay: happened, or no? No, absolutely not. I don't know where I thought of that. It was just stupid. Oh God, 

Doug: you're killing me over here, dude. [00:13:00] I can't believe you're saying all this time this stuff has gone over your head. 

Tay Nay: And why did you, you still like 

Doug: it? He was, no, he was going, 

Tay Nay: he's doing that song 

Doug: again.

Tay Nay: I love this song. Yes, I, this song is so 

Doug: good. Oh my God. One day he's gonna tell a joke. I bet it's gonna be really funny, but not as good as this song. You know what? You know what? Women aren't funny. 

Tay Nay: Women aren't funny. I mean, well, nobody cares about that. I've 

Doug: gotten a lot of feedback about that. And they said, you look like a.

Fool every time you do it. I know, I know. I'm just saying keep doing it. I want you to look like a fool. 

Josiah: Whatever. Okay. Well thanks for doing that. Appreciate it. Of course. 

Tay Nay: I mean, it's stupid 'cause it's, I mean, that's where get conflicted sometimes too. I'm like, I go, I've been to some like different scenes that can Philly and stuff, and I think like people, some people gimme like dirty looks and I wanna win them over, but there's a something I feel like just like a clown.

Mm-hmm. You know, like I don't have jokes. There's nothing that's smart to it. But then I was like, you gotta stick to it and figure it out, but 

Doug: well, and fuck them. You're, you're not sticking to the Yeah, yeah, exactly. You're not sticking to the program. 

Tay Nay: Your previous guest, [00:14:00] Tyler told me that, he's like, don't write for anyone else.

Hell no. Just do your shit. So just we about that. I still do, but it's, you know, it's a matter of 

Josiah: Yeah. You and sometimes you go up there and you'll just like cough and make noises like you're sick. I have a lot. I I Is that a tick or is that part of your No, it's just 

Tay Nay: a stupid, I. Fake thing. I like to start like, and like 

Josiah: burping and stuff, right?

Mm-hmm. Or like, I do that a lot. Yeah. I wish just 

Tay Nay: did it now. Yeah. That's pretty real. Okay. But I, uh, art becomes life. Yeah. I like to start. That one's stupid. 'cause I usually go up there and I start with pretending to be sick and just like coughing and then I go into a, a beat box. Yeah. All right. It's a character.

Sick Rick. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I don, I don't know. 

Doug: Do, I don't think he should do his whole act here, because then everybody's gonna know it when he, you know what I mean? You don't want to do your whole act. I, I don't, I I mean, it's up to you. It's your show. But I, I, I don't I know You don't wanna put all your jokes out there.

No. 

Josiah: And I don't want you to think like we're treating you like a monkey or anything. No, no. That does happen. Dude. Do some tricks that 

Tay Nay: doesn't. I was actually at a work [00:15:00] meeting yesterday. My boss like, you wanna go up and do standup? I was like, no. Like, it's, yeah. Yeah. And it's a lot of my stuff is. Like you said, it's like a flow.

Like I have to start somewhere. It has to kind of, I can't just like pull a bit out and do it. It kind of seems like Why is that funny? Yeah. Well, 

Josiah: yeah. They'd be like, you're fired. Exactly. Alright, so we won't do sick Rick, but if you want to see Sick Rick, you gotta go. That's how you do it. That's people come to your shows now, see Sick Rick.

Hell yeah. It's very 

Tay Nay: funny. I think I've been trying to work on that one. 'cause I, I also think, like, so I do characters and I, I kind of break the flow 'cause I like, oh, this is just a character and I'm trying to work on like not doing that because I think it kind of puts a wall up and takes people outta the flow or see it's fake.

So it's kind running with it, 

Doug: it removes you from being the character in every joke. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Then all of a sudden you're seeing you as a different character in a joke where Yeah, we, we just want everything you're saying with the whole Tonka truck thing and the sick Rick and all that. It's, it's you, it's not, yeah.

Somebody, yeah, exactly. It's, it's you doing it instead of mm-hmm. But you creating somebody else, 

Tay Nay: you can do characters outside of that though too. Yeah. I usually like book, like I have a one, [00:16:00] a taser. Me, he's a tough guy's. Just 'cause my name's Tay Uhhuh. I usually end with that and that was good. 'cause it kind of like I'm ending with like, hey, here's a character.

But to do it like mid it kind of right. Breaks the flow a little bit. So like see like, oh he's performing 'cause I uhhuh and then you step back and like realize the best comedies when like, you don't realize you're watching comedy, you're kind of in it, you know? Absolutely. Moment p Absolutely. And so you, you mentioned work.

What do you do for work? I, I'm an account manager for Snapple. Okay, nice. 

Josiah: Wow. Yeah. I wouldn't have pegged you. Yeah, I don't like it. I 

Tay Nay: don't enjoy it. I wanna get outta it. So 

Josiah: an account manager, so like managing like internal teams? I was gonna say, I think accounts, 

Tay Nay: yeah. So we have accounts I go to and I manage.

So account, is it a meme podcast we would beat up on you? Yeah, you can

Josiah: And we, we will bring her back in towards the end. I don't know how the table was able to hold down your boner. It's not. Alright. That's not my question. 


Snapple Cap Jokes
---

Josiah: My Snapple question for you is, what is your favorite Snapple cap phrase?

Tay Nay: Oh, I don't even, I don't even know. Everyone always asks me like, do you write the caps? I'm like, no. Don't fucking write the caps. No. All right. Do we still have [00:21:00] facts on it? I don't even know. I don't know. Here's, here's the challenge, okay. Alright. 

Josiah: Snapple, 

Doug: find a cap with a black guy on it, 

Josiah: on it. Snapple. CEO comes to you and says, tey, I want you to, I heard you're a comedian.

Okay? I want you to start writing jokes. And I want, I don't want them short enough to fit under a Snapple cap. We're gonna start shipping 'em to all the stores. What would you put on 

Tay Nay: one? I'd probably do like, keep with the facts part, but just do it. Fake facts. Yeah. Fake. Absolutely. You know, like, did you know that the name Edward used to be N Word?

Did you guys know that? Yeah, I heard, I heard he, 

Josiah: uh, tried to get a job at Wegmans. Would they? I heard him down. That's one of my, that's one of my jokes. No, 

Doug: ed, no. Edwards here. No, we don't accept Edwards. All right. 

Josiah: How about you? You got, you know what I mean by Ed? No, you have a, do you have a joke for a Snapple cap?

Doug? I didn't 

Doug: know I was gonna have to have one, but I can [00:22:00] probably think of one. Yeah, let's think of one. Did you know that cashews can fit all Ds in his mouth? No. Uh, I don't, I don't know. I I, I, I got, my brain's not in that mode right now. No, that's, that's fine. That's fine. But, but let me, do you have one?

No, but come on. You know, you, I'm trying to think of one. You know, you do boxes. 

Josiah: Doesn't have to be a fact. Or can it be a joke? Anything or joke factor? It it can be, it has to be a 

Doug: short story. 

Josiah: Yeah, 

Tay Nay: a short story that fits in a cap. Mine would just say N word, but EN Yeah. The end. 

Josiah: I think I know exactly. It's hanging on my fridge.

One second. Okay. And there's a backstory to it. I guess 

Doug: The end is always the n word of a book. That's true. They always, they always fit in the n word. They get you. My thing 

Tay Nay: is like, could you imagine if they didn't change it? You have like NN words in your hands. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna, 

Josiah: I'm gonna cheat a little bit and I'm gonna, I'm gonna do a fortune cookie under my Snapple cap.

All right. Okay. And this is an actual fortune that I got. 

Tay Nay: You will get divorced soon? Well, the divorce [00:23:00] had just happened. Okay. Yeah. 

Josiah: And I'm at the Chinese buffet with my kids. Yeah. And my wife, because they helped me move all the shit here. So it took about two. Wow. 

Doug: They were like, 

Josiah: come on, everybody grab the table.

Yeah. And my fortune cookie said, A refreshing change is in your future. Oh wow. Wow. Can you fucking believe that? And 

Tay Nay: that's good for simple, refreshing. Yeah, exactly. Hydration. There you go. So there, 

Josiah: so if your boss comes to you, you can use that one. 

Doug: I would, it would say I guess I would write, you will experience deja vu.

You'll experience deja vu. That, that was an old bazooka Joe. Uh, yeah. Nice. That was on, uh, bazooka Joe one time. And I cracked the fuck up buddy. Another one, Chris Sweeney. Read it. He'd read it. So funny. I think, uh, it was in shop class dying. 

Josiah: I got one. I think Elon Musk should eliminate the Department of Redundancy Departments.

Mm. Oh, nice. Yeah, because it's 

Tay Nay: redundant. Yeah. Oh, nice. That's clever. Yeah. 

Josiah: Sometimes I'm too clever. Yeah. And it bothers me. I'm too smart. It [00:24:00] doesn't bother me at all 

Doug: because I never get to see it. Word play. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Fuck you. Fuck you. So, uh, all right. So you, you, you do your first open mic.

How much you had five minutes ready? Or did you kind of just wing it? Yeah, with maybe two minutes. 

Tay Nay: I don't remember exactly what I did, but I had five minutes. I tried to stand up like maybe 10 years ago. And Beth on Brew Works used to have that. Yeah, yeah. Went once a month. Yeah, once a month. And I did all right.

But that's when I started getting into drugs and I just fell off it and didn't do it again. Are you clean now? From like hard stuff. Okay. I still smoke pot. Okay. I love acid. Mm-hmm. That's about it. Okay. Yeah, I don't, I don't ruin my life anymore. I'm in a great relationship. I love my girlfriend. Oh yeah.

Josiah: She came to one of your shows. Yeah. And she's very supportive. 


Becky's Hilarious Observations

Josiah: What's her name? Becky. Becky. And she said I remember what she said. She was like, yeah, Tay Doug was so much funnier. No. She said, um, [00:25:00] she's like, Tay has to get up on stage to, to get rid of all his energy. Yeah. Yeah. It's, I very, 

Tay Nay: a lot of it is very much like, look at me for five minutes.

Yeah. I love that. That's like the therapeutic for you. Yeah. Yeah. 


Performing and Ego
---

Tay Nay: And it's perform performance art. It's my ego. Yeah. I do like performing. I think that's why I don't, I just like performing. That's why I think my stuff's a little more performative and as much my stuff 

Josiah: is performative as well when it's not word play corny shit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

Doug: I just, you in the background of, uh, Joey's the interviews. Oh, I doing that shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are fun. Yeah, 

Tay Nay: those are awesome. 

Doug: He asked me to do the last one, but I, that I was busy that Sunday, but I'm looking forward to doing more. In fact, in 


Joey's Influence and Pranks
---

Josiah: fact, we can, you can thank Joey for getting booked on this show.

'cause I know first he pranked. Oh, Joey 

Doug: got you on 

Josiah: here too. Yeah. That's all me. Nice. Yeah, he pranked. Uh, Tyler, I, like, I sent, I sent Tyler a message asshole. I sent Tyler a message like the day before, like, Hey, you still good to come on the jokes by Joe Show? And he's like, what the fuck is he talking? Who's this?

What the fuck? Yeah, [00:26:00] pretty much. He's like, what the fuck you talking? He wasn't even following me on, on TikTok or anything. Yeah. He's like, who the fuck is this? And he is like, no, but I'll do it. Yeah. And then, I mean, I'm glad he did it. 'cause I, I, I wanted a thought to do it. Yeah. And you were, um, he booked you too.

And then that's why I decided after I found out about Tyler, I figured I'd reach out to you and be like, Hey, did you actually book this? Or is this a prank? And you're like, I think that's a prank, but I'll do it. 

Doug: Joey is so funny to me. 

Tay Nay: Yeah. He's fucking hilarious. He's been like a mentor. He's like the first person that pulled me aside at Tally homes like, yo, like what you're doing is really funny.

Yeah. Keep doing it. And like, there's certain people that like one night wanted to kind of subconscious, like impress when I started like him Tyler and shit, like people that like mm-hmm. I thought were funny when I made them laugh. I'm like, oh, I'm on this something, you know? Yep. Like he was like the first person, like, yo, keep doing that.

And it kind of gave me encouragement there. Yeah. Awesome. 

Josiah: Danny, you know, Joey's never given me any, yeah. Any advice? I can want me to call him 

Tay Nay: FaceTime. It's fine. We can, I was actually tell him to come tonight with me and be like, Hey, look, this, you did this, but you have to, you have to ride on his [00:27:00] shoulders, the end, and he has to 

Doug: sit there.

He can't say anything. No words. What 

Josiah: you have to do is you have to now book him. Okay. On this, on this show? No, he just won't show up. 

Doug: No, he doesn't. Did he just have a baby? 

Tay Nay: No, that's his, that's uh, his like girlfriend's his pet. It's like, yeah, he found it all right. Yeah. Nice rescue the baby. Nobody does that.

He's like the, they're 

Doug: like, fuck that baby. I'm gonna get a dog. I think we talked about it 


Improv and Stand-Up Experiences
---

Josiah: when Tyler was on, but Joey went up one time. He is like, I don't have any material. And then it was the funniest shit I ever heard. It was that story he told Yeah, the 

Tay Nay: story about the neighbor 

Doug: and it went on like way more than five minutes.

Oh, but you didn't want it to stop. Oh, 

Tay Nay: he's interesting. 'cause his jokes are, he's the only person that goes up with notes. Yeah. And it works for his style. Oh yeah. Like it doesn't work, but something about his style, it's so straightforward and it's just, he exudes like the comedy. He's flashing his 

Doug: premises at you.

Yeah. And then letting you finish the joke just by going Exactly. It's very relat in those ways. Like, it's very 

Tay Nay: simple things, but it's like inspiring. Yeah. I, I could see that 

Josiah: going somewhere, 

Doug: but I've seen him, like, I actually, I think I did a show with him a long time ago [00:28:00] and I saw like, his set, and I've seen him do sets before, like at real, like page shows.

Yeah. Yeah. And he has a more formatted way of telling his joke. It's more like a him spitting out premises. He's worked, he's worked through the joke and, and has a 

Tay Nay: shit. Sorry if that's away. Yeah. He, uh, yeah, he, he, but he's fucking hilarious. He gives me a lot of advice with, so he always tells me like he sees it in like, acts where like he starts kind of nervous and I notice it when I see him do shows.

Now he starts nervous and the audience is nervous for him. Yep. And he builds it by the end. He's confident. Everyone's with him. Yeah. Like I said, it's like along for the ride. It really Okay. It works like a lot. Tie in. That's something I need to work on is like the end touch in the beginning, you know?

Mm-hmm. Kind of this clever and callbacks. Yeah. Stuff like that. 

Josiah: Yeah. Okay. What's your what's your favorite joke of yours? Do you have one? 

Tay Nay: Uh, I don't even know. It's hard to say. 'cause a lot of my jokes are like, I think of 'em as like segments. Like, like I have a lot of, one thing I have that always works well is design a dog.

It's like, I ask, I always ask someone in a crowd, like, wouldn't it be crazy if you could design a dog? I think I build, I I've heard, yeah. Yeah, I've heard this bit. Yeah. It's always works. So I always ask people in the [00:29:00] crowd, like at shows, like, what kind of dog would you design if you could design a dog?

They're always like a shitzu. It's already a doll. You give man hands, cat claws, big butt, little nipples. You can do so much. Speak the Spanish if you just get a call. Like it's, it's, that's a good word. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stuff like that. Cool. 

Doug: You draw them in and then like let them, yeah. 

Josiah: Hey, come here. Wanna be part of this year?

Dumb ass. Have you ever done any improv? It seems like you'd be really good at improv. 

Tay Nay: Um, I did. Improv standup at Steel Stack and it was probably one of the most fun experiences I've had to standup. I, I was really worried about it 'cause I was with on it with Sam Uhhuh and he just ripped for 10 minutes.

Oh, Sam gr is great. I was like, I can't do that. And I went up and I just did it like, you just have to keep, I didn't realize it's a different conversation with the audience. Like they know that it's spontaneous, so like Yep. They're on that energy with you. And it was so. Mm-hmm. I just talked like rambled.

Yeah. And it was hilarious. It was great. Awesome. I'm actually, I'd love to do one of those. Yeah. It's fun still Sex is cool for that kind of stuff. They have a lot of little things that going on. I think the, 

Doug: the funnest thing I've ever done in comedy [00:30:00] was sort of an improv type thing, but it was weeding out the stone.

Oh yeah. I did 

Tay Nay: that once. That was really fun. Yeah. That's where I met Nick. Nick, yeah. Nick and I were sitting next to each other. Okay. Yeah. 

Doug: And, and I think we came down to like third and fourth. Yeah. Where we were still on stage with the guy that I think, no, I think they had already picked out the guy, but either way we made it to like, yeah.

Third, and I don't know how, because we were laughing. So fucking much, dude. Like the whole time. That's what I, I was like, dude, I gotta get your number and all this. Mm-hmm. And 'cause we were fucking crying and like anything somebody did or anything, we're like leaning on each other. I'm like, how do they not think we're stoned?

Josiah: Who's the one that wasn't stoned that night? 

Doug: Uh, I forget his name. This dude from Jersey. Okay. Really fucking really hilarious dude. He kind of sounds like his voice is like Norm McDonald. I wish I had his name to promote him. 'cause 

Josiah: is he a really tall guy? 

Doug: He's pretty tall, but he's a, like a, he has like a thin mustache.

I, I can't, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think 

Josiah: he was at Inkwell last night. Yeah. I don't know actually. But 

Doug: he is so, I mean he just, it was certain. So weeding out the stone, if [00:31:00] nobody knows is the way the show works is all the comedians get stoned except for one. Yeah. The crowd doesn't know who. And then the host gives you different things to do where you have to kind of think on your feet and be funny.

So there's no written material you can have or anything like that. And the crowd, each round has to try to. Figure out who's the stoned one. And they, you know, they, they basically are plucking people off who they think are stoned. Yeah. And they want to try to have the last person be the person that isn't stoned and be right.

And they were not right at all. And this one, I think they picked out the, the guy who wasn't stoned like third. It sounds, 

Josiah: it sounds so much fun. It was really fun. It was, it's coming around. It was the 

Doug: absolute funnest thing I've ever done in, and, and, and by the way, my wife surprised me because I went and she was supposed to be going out to dinner with somebody and then she convinced them to, or actually one of them said, I can't believe we're not going to your, your, your husband's show.

And they went, I didn't know she was in the crowd. And, and it was like I was [00:32:00] killing that night. Yeah. And, um, I, 

Tay Nay: I can't do drugs, so I won't be able to do that show. It is like a different muscle. I mean, you could be the sober guy. 

Doug: Yeah. You don't have to, you can be the one that doesn't get stoned. 

Tay Nay: Mm-hmm.

How do they 

Josiah: pick the one who you just sit back, you just talk and say, who doesn't want to do it? Oh, okay. It's an audience then I could do it. Yeah. Because I, um, I can't handle weed. I have, especially, I have, I don't even like to stone 

Tay Nay: before. Like I smoke a lot of weed, but I don't like, before I go out anywhere I don't like, I have anxiety.

Yeah. It gives me, I get very aware that I'm doing standup. Yeah. And I kind of like feel, it always feels like corny. Like, what am I doing? Yeah. Yeah. I'm singing about design a dog in front of people at a ball. Fuck am I doing? I think 

Doug: I, because I, and, and we talked about this, I try to make it, and so I always try to make the crowd feel like we're in a conversation that they forgot they haven't said anything.

Yeah. And so, yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? So, and, and so I, I, I talk a lot as it is in real life, but on stage you're not allowed to cut me off. Exactly. You know what I mean? Yeah. You have. So, so that's the thing I like about it. And so if I get stoned before I go up, I definitely don't get like, [00:33:00] oh, like, you know, one or two hits or something like that before I go up.

It kind of makes me more relaxed than the fact that I'm just conversating. Yeah. That makes sense. And that's how I write my jokes. I write 'em in sort of a conversational way. Yeah. Way. I notice 

Tay Nay: that you're, you're very like laid back in conversational that. Yeah. 

Doug: So that, is that 

Josiah: where, where do you see yourself in, I don't know three, five years?

Tay Nay: Like comedically? 

Josiah: Yeah. 

Tay Nay: I don't know. I, I think it's good and bad. Like I don't really have goals. Yeah. I don't really have, I don't like wanna be, well, let's put it this way. Account manager, manager. You're doing, you're doing my, I saw some cat videos that you were doing. Oh yeah, I do like doing more, gotta get more n video stuff because I went to school for like video production an off that shit.

Oh, I wanted to talk to you about that. 

Josiah: And Doug as well. 'cause I briefly mentioned this to you. 


Sketch Comedy Ideas

Yeah. And they're absurd. So like, and like the caption is always like, when, when you're trying to snoop on your neighbor, okay? Mm-hmm. And like, he'll be at his house watering the grass, and then there's an ambulance out in front of his house, and then the next cut is him on top of the ambulance watering the ambulance and trying to get a closer look to see what's happening.

Then the next cut is him in the er, still watering, and he gets behind the curtain and he's watering. That's pretty funny. The fucking, it's hilarious. He 

Tay Nay: makes millions. Yeah. That's crazy. That's, that's, that's like what, [00:35:00] I mean we've do in those interviews with Joey. Yeah. And like. We've been getting, like it's, we did two people from Philly Tata Cherice.

Yeah. Yeah. And she won Philly's Funniest last year. And it's cool like to see like, people were seeing it and like hitting up Joey, like, Hey, can I do that too? Oh, nice. Nice. It's cool to see like, people want to do it rather. Oh yeah. So it's like an energy that's It's really cool. Yeah. I asked 

Doug: him and he was like, yeah, anytime.

Tay Nay: it in winter, like getting heavy. 

Josiah: The one, yeah. The one sketch that Doug and I have been talking about for a decade.

Okay. At least. And this, and, and the name of this sketch comedy troupe would be this page left intentionally blank. That's the name of the troop. And it's just gonna be TikTok videos. The, the, one of the ones I wanna do is. Doug gets down to his boxers. Oh, 

Doug: no, no, no. We're not doing that one anymore. 

Josiah: I like 

Tay Nay: this one.

You can't do that one anymore. 

Doug: No, I am not in the shape of when I said I'll do that, but No, no, no. That's funnier than, oh, we don't have to. No, I don't wanna do that. 

Josiah: All right. Well, no, I, 

Doug: I'll, I'll find somebody who wants to do it, [00:36:00] but can I just tell him 

Josiah: what it was? Oh, yeah. 

Doug: No, it's a funny, it's definitely something I wanted to do, but I was in like way better shape than 

Josiah: We don't, we don't have to do the boxers.

You can be fully cloth. Yeah. 

Doug: I just don't, I 

Josiah: don't know. All right. Here's what's, here's what it was. 'cause 10 years ago. Oh. So that, believe it or not, it was a different person 10 years ago, I think you say like 

Tay Nay: in 

Josiah: a month. No, but it says 10 years ago. No, no, no, no. 

Doug: Yeah. Downward. Yeah. Where I keep thinking about it and I'm like, nah, I don't wanna, basically 

Josiah: you, I put we could do like a behind the scenes where he, yeah.

He's getting ready for this. Get, get him down to his boxers. Tie his hands behind his back. Oh. Put a piece of duct tape over his mouth. Draw lips over them. Duct tape with lipstick. Yeah. Okay. Put 'em in the back of my trunk. Go to Pavish Beverage. Now, people who just are not from this area, Pavish Beverage is a drive through beer distributor.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. You ever been there? Yeah. 

Doug: Yeah. You never have to get outta your car. You pull into the 

Josiah: bay, someone comes up to your window, they're like, what do you want? And you say, Miller Light. And they say In the trunk. Ooh, nice. Sounds good. And then I, [00:37:00] 

Doug: and then I, but but you jump out and run.

But the thing is, he, he's wearing a KKK outfit. Okay. 

Josiah: No, I was gonna be wearing a cowboy hat and, and wearing lipstick. Oh, see, I pictured him in a 

Doug: full KKK outfit that could work too. And he is got, like the hood just sitting on the passenger seat. So he, he's, you can see his face. He's in a, he is like, oh yeah, lemme get a couple of, you know, me lights or whatever.

And then he pops the trunk open and I come running out and you're 

Tay Nay: like, help, help, help, help, help. You gotta watch out the dude working and like chase you down. Tackle they put you back in. Yeah. 

Doug: Yeah. Hey, I almost got away from you there, buddy. Exactly. Where are you going? Hey, we got three more in the back.

Josiah: No, I should have, I should have said negro Modelo, I guess. Oh wow. 

Doug: That's close. I was a, I was, I was at, [00:38:00] I was at uh, I was at trivia, um, last Thursday.

And uh, one of the answers was, uh, Nicaragua. And I said to my team, I said, well, I know the last part of it means water. What does the first part mean? And they were like. What do you Oh, I was like, so does it mean that, because you haven't said what it means. I mean, I get it. Nra, aua, agu. I never thought of that.

Wow. That 

Tay Nay: just connected to me. I did not know that. 

Doug: Well, I didn't know. I don't know if that's what it means. Makes sense. But I just sense sketch comedy. 

Josiah: Yeah. I'm looking for people. I think you'd be great. Yeah. I love that. I already talked to do you know Patrick? 

Tay Nay: Patrick Re Yes. Tall dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I like Patrick. Yeah. I have Oh, red hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. He's, he's nice. I

And he's like, oh, no, no, no, no. [00:39:00] Let Jesus get that for you. And he waves his arms in front of the automatic doors and they open. Nice. Yeah. And he is like, oh, it's a miracle. They're like, thank you Jesus. And then he goes shopping his Jesus and Nice. Floats. Stupid shit. Yeah. He pulls, he's 

Tay Nay: floating. 

Doug: You gotta get a string on, you gotta get a string on one of the carts so when the door's open, like I can pull the string and the cart comes to them.

Oh yeah, that'd be great. 

Josiah: I have another thing where he goes to the juice aisle and like he, he sticks his hands in between the high sea Oh, nice. And runs it and spreads the red high sea. Okay. 

Tay Nay: Him walk on cases of water. Exactly. The Aquafina, he pulls a bunch of them off the shelf and walks across them.

Yeah. Do a lot there. Yeah. So, I, I have a lot of ideas in a lot of sketches like that and 

Josiah: I think we bring you on board. You could have a lot of funny shit. It goes 

Doug: to the seafood sector. He is like, I'll just need one fish. 

Josiah: Yeah, exactly. And he puts it in his cart and then 

Doug: it just multiplies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's another, that's where I comes back to the seafood place like. [00:40:00] You want Dump these up, please. I'll sell them. I'll sell 'em three for a dollar. 

Josiah: Start slapping him out the back of his trunk. Yeah. 

Doug: Yeah. In the parking lot. Yeah. I'm at the bottom of them.

Doug: The money's there.

Tay Nay: Have anything to workshop? Um, I mean, I brought my notebook. I don't know. Yeah. It's hard to figure how to workshop because I said my stuff's always like, more like, well, any kind of premises or, or stuff that you're trying to figure out.

Here's a, a funny thing I wanna do just a, maybe a sketch. It's called Babe Pig in the City. And it's Babe Ruth. You know the movie Babe Pig City? Mm-hmm. Babe Ruth in the city Being piggish to Women. Okay. All this is enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Alright. Yeah I have a, I've been trying to work through a bit about like how I don't know anything and I don't know how to learn.

Like I wanna get a new job. So I need skills. I don't know any skills. I also don't know how to get skills. I don't know how to read, like I know how to read but don't retain it. So I don't know how to read anymore. I know how to learn. That's why I came with the N word thing. I was like, oh, I've learned all these weird facts.

Yeah. So, I dunno. 

Josiah: Yeah. There's a, there's a [00:42:00] symptom actually, what is it called? Where people that are not in, I'm not saying you're not intelligent, but That's okay. People that are, people that aren't intelligent. Aren't intelligent enough to know that they're not intelligent, so they, they think that they're smarter than they actually are.

Yeah. 

Doug: Yeah. And I think there's a lot of people in that man, if they were as cool as they thought they were, they would be so fucking cool. Oh, yeah. Like, I, I want you to be as cool as you think you ares called me. You know what I mean? Like, when I run into somebody like that, it's like, man, if you, if you keep trying, you will be that cool that you think you are.

It's called right now, you're far away from it, but 

Josiah: it's called the Dunning Kruger Effect. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. You've heard of that? I've heard that, yeah. Coco, explain the Dunning Kruger effect,

Co-Co: the Oh, absolutely. The Dunning Kruger effect that people with low ability or knowledge in a certain area overestimate their competence while those who are more skilled tend to underestimate themselves. 

Tay Nay: Okay. Basically, the less, you know, the more 

Co-Co: confident you are, and the more you [00:43:00] actually know, the more you realize how much you don't know.

So in comedy terms, it's that open mic guy who's bombing, but still thinks he's crushing it while a seasoned pro is backstage over analyzing a single tag. 

Doug: Yeah. Yep. So that's pretty much it. Dunning Kruger, that's what you're talking about. Hey, you could become president. 

Josiah: Hey, you could, yeah. All right, cool.

Doug, anything in you're work shopping? 

Doug: I got this idea where I talk about how dads are the bouncers for mom and mom. Mom. Like, oh, nice. Like, and I realized that when my, my mother-in-law was over at the house and my son gets a little bit more amped up when she's around. Yeah. Because he, he thinks he can get away with things more.

Right. And so I have to kind of step in as like the bouncer where. She, like, literally, like he'll run up to my mother-in-law, like she's a 10-year-old kid and try to jump in and, and hug her and, you know, fight her and stuff like that. And I, and I have to step in and be like, Joey, Joey, calm down like that.

And that you'll see him like slow up and then, you know, that's funny. And you should also, but there's, but there's, again, this just, that's the [00:44:00] idea. There's so many other things that Yeah, I do where I'll hear my wife going, can you put your shoes on? Can you put your shoes on? Yeah. And I'm be like, shoes.

And it just immediately bloop like the manch sharing effect, you know? Yeah. You could 

Josiah: also bounce the grandma. From Joey, like prevent her from giving him like candy or some shit. 

Doug: Well, so I, I think of it more as they're the celebrity because he could give two shits about me when they're around. Yeah. I am nobody to him.

I am just the person that enforces what they want. And so I, yeah. So it's more like, I'm like, they're the, they're walking the red carpet in the kitchen mm-hmm. Where all the snacks are, which those are awards to him. And, and he's, you know, he's like, mama, grandma, and I'm, you know, just like, hold on, hold on.

Step back. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? That's funny. Yeah. And so there's, like I said that it's just something I wrote down. I wrote, I literally wrote down dad's, or I'm the bouncer for mom and mom. Mom and, and I That's, that's all I wrote. Yeah. And then I was like, there's gotta be [00:45:00] something in that.

No, it's funny. Yeah, it's funny. 

Josiah: I like it. I was working on something last night. I went to the inkwell for the first time. Oh yeah? Oh yeah. Nice. There. I like it. Well, yeah. 

Doug: Isn't it like it, that window just adds so much more to it. Yeah. You feel very, a lot of funny things have come out of that window being Yeah.

Josiah: The one comic was up and he's like, if I, he was in the window. He is like, this's the first time I've performed in a window shop before, and he says, and if I turn around I'll see more. This is the only stage I've been on where you turn around, you see more people behind you than in front of you. You, that's pretty good.


Lubricant Instructions Bit
---

Josiah: There weren't, there weren't that many people here, but the one that I'm working on now is is when I go, I, I bought a, well, now that I'm divorced, I went and bought lubricant at Walgreens. Okay, okay. 

Tay Nay: What? Cool, cool, cool. 

Josiah: Because I like to jerk off, but I don't like the shafing. Okay. Can you lube? Yeah.

Yeah. Figured it out. So 

Doug: even though I'm a seasoned, that's the one thing I didn't. Like, he didn't figure out the Tonka truck thing, but I'm like, wait for what? Why you? I wanted him to detail it. Yeah. [00:46:00] 

Josiah: So even though I'm a, and I'm not, I'm not off, I'm not off book yet on this yet, but you guys let me know what you think.

Even though I'm, I'm not a seasoned pro at this. I found myself reading the directions on the back of the bottle. Okay. And I want to analyze the directions for you because I had a lot of fun doing this. Step one. Sure. Apply to intimate areas. Oh. Why are they limiting me to intimate areas? Well, anything of being intimate.

It's up to you. Yeah. What if I wanna rub it on my knuckles and like, fist a stranger's asshole. Is that allowed? Absolutely. What if I wanna apply it on the bottom of my feet and slide around the house? Maybe moonwalk and then fist a stranger's asshole. Yeah. You know, 

Doug: they didn't say you couldn't 

Josiah: re-up.

Uh, step two, reapply as desired. Thanks for your permission. Right. 

Doug: They never tell you to repeat. 

Josiah: Yeah. 

Tay Nay: This you use less product that way or use more. They would use more to buy more. Of course. They want you to have 

Doug: the, the usage is, or you know, like when they say how much is a, a serving, [00:47:00] it's just one bottle.

Yeah. 

Josiah: We'll it all in. You're gonna get to my point here. Yeah. Oh, step three. This one blew my mind. And this is actually the verbiage. They used close cap lid immediately after use. The fuck is a cap lid? It's either a cap, ah, or it's a lid. Yeah. It's not both. Fuck 

Doug: that. All right. The top cap. 

Josiah: Oh. You want me to close the cap lid?

Huh? You mean the cover flap? The uh, the twisty top, the uh, lubricant lid lock closure hatch. Huh? You want me to secure the pop twist, squeeze release mechanism? You want me to close the clickity clapity cap or lock of a containment? Oh. Is that what you want me to 

Tay Nay: do? Pick a fucking term Trojan. Is it, is that the brand?

Josiah: Yeah, that's 

Tay Nay: what 

Josiah: I was wondering. What brand do you use? Step four. It goes on. Do not use, if quality seal under the cap is broken or missing, it's all spit. Spit. Do that peed. They do realize, Jesus. This is, listen to [00:48:00] this though. Looser than normal. He blows my mind. I'm gonna use it the second time I go to use this.

Mm-hmm. That seal's gonna be missing. 

Doug: Yeah. 

Josiah: So what is this single use lube now? 

Doug: It's one bottle per serving. Yeah, 

Josiah: that's what you said. Yeah. Single use lube. One and done Jit and split. Squirt and skirt. Pop the dump. Shoot and scoot. Come and go. Ejaculate and evacuate. Is that what we're doing here? Yeah. I hope.

Why? Why isn't this the first thing on the list? This is like a. There are whole brand promise is protection, right? 

Doug: Yeah. I hope, 

Josiah: shouldn't they? I'm hoping with this, Hey, hey, hey. I hope, why are they telling me to apply and then not apply? Yeah. It's fucking, 

Tay Nay: it's fucking weird. So that, does it say you like get, is there like a precursor to it?

Like, get horny? Yeah. No, no, no. Yeah. Well then I went and, and 

Josiah: wrote their, we'll, we'll take care of that. I went and wrote their, because these didn't fucking make sense. They're out of order. I went and wrote [00:49:00] their instructions on a box of condoms. Okay. So I'd like to go through step one, have sex. Yeah. Step two, repeat as desired.

Step three. Oh wait. You should probably get permission first. Yeah. Step four. Don't have sex. If the answer is no, step five, put a condom on. Oh yeah. Um, which should have been the first step. Mm-hmm. Step six. Fist a stranger's asshole. Yeah, but not if the seal was broken. No, no. And that's, uh, that's the button for that.

Yeah, that's it. That's, I mean, that's cool. Yeah. You like it, you like it. Anything back? Yeah. No, that's good. I 

Doug: think it needs, I think some of, I think maybe you rearrange where some of the like I think that lickety split thing part mm-hmm. Should be the end. Okay. I think you, I think that part is like a, a, um, a climax, so to speak.

And then, and, and, and I think, I think after that you probably don't want to hear the other ones. 'cause you're, I, at least in my brain, none of them were gonna be as good as that one. Okay. Got. You know what I mean? So I was going into the other ones, prejudging, that that [00:50:00] one was the best. Exactly. Evacuate all that stuff.

Josiah: Yeah. Okay. All right. Very good. That was the climax. And that's the button. Thank you Tay. You welcome Nye for being a ghost. A ghost, a host on the Jokes by Joe Show. Thanks for Joey Cino for pranking You and signing you up. Joey. Thank you as always. Absolutely.
