Comic Relief with David Deeble
At a time when despair and depression are just a mouse-click away and the very air itself weighs heavy with bad news and mayhem, the occasional laugh can be refreshing and cathartic. Which is why Ricochet's Dave Carter turned to friend and comedian David Deeble to get his decidedly wry perspective and unique humor on all sorts of topics.
A veteran comedian who has traveled the world and performed in a variety of venues, David Deeble has appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Late Late Show with James Corden, CBS This Morning, America's Got Talent, Last Comic Standing, among many other places and programs. In this episode, the two Daves discuss everything from life on a cruise ship, to the pleasures of European airport security, Donald Trump's righteous mug show scowl, and the state of stand-up comedy today (including something Dave Carter refers to as "The Dance of the Monotonous Vulgarians"). Calling in from Germany, David Deeble has a great many observations and perspectives that we believe you will find quite interesting. And of course there are the laughs, which are never far away in this relaxing and enjoyable episode.
1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:06.240
Broadcasting from the world's most beautiful beaches
in sunny Florida. Here's the soldier,
2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:11.359
storyteller, historian, and maybe a
bit of a hell raiser. It's Dave
3
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:24.760
Carter, and this is the Dave
Carter Show. All right, I got
4
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.960
an idea today, there's something a
little different. Let me know what you
5
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.679
think about it. But what if? What if we just devoted an entire
6
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.600
episode of this program to just having
a few laughs between us, right?
7
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:42.920
I mean, obviously, obviously there's
enough bad news going around that going bananas
8
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.280
about it all the time isn't going
to change the fact that bad news of
9
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.679
one sort or another will always be
with us. Right, So how about
10
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.759
we kick back, relax, and
have a few yucks together, and then,
11
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.079
you know, once the show is
over, we can go back to
12
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.399
the continuing crisis. But for now, I have just the person to help
13
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.640
us out, because coming up in
a couple of minutes here a comedian,
14
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.719
David Dieble will be joining us from
a cruise ship. Actually, I believe
15
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.040
he's either somewhere around Iceland or Greenland. As far as I know, mister
16
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.079
Deeble has appeared on The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno back in the day,
17
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.000
as well as a late late show
with James Gordon, in addition to various
18
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.640
other shows and venues literally around the
world. So he'll be calling in in
19
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:26.799
a few moments. You know.
I talked recently to you about my daytime
20
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:32.400
job of transporting patients to and from
their doctor's appointments, and it really really
21
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:36.359
is a rewarding job on a personal
level for me. I mean, almost
22
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.359
without fail. These folks are good, decent people who, for you,
23
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:45.040
for whatever reason, are unable to
drive themselves to their appointments. And there's
24
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.439
one place in particular, it's kind
of like a high rise apartment building.
25
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:55.359
I believe it's fourteen fifteen stories,
and it's exclusively four senior citizens. So
26
00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.719
naturally they had the percentage of these
residents who lived there who have rather consistent
27
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.719
and habitual doctor appointments, it's pretty
high, which means I get to go
28
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.400
there pretty frequently to take these folks
to their sessions and back home again.
29
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:14.039
And as you might imagine, a
lot of these people use walkers of varying
30
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.479
sizes and configurations. Some of them
get around on those little electric scooters,
31
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.719
some of them use walking canes and
things of that nature, and since we're
32
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:27.360
in sunny Florida, many of these
people spend a lot of time outside in
33
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.159
the sunshine or under this time of
year, they're in the shade, mainly
34
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.680
because it's so hot. So what
you see as you drive too and sometimes
35
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:40.560
around that apartment building are little groups
of these folks scattered about. One group
36
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:45.759
will be congregating on a street corner, while another cluster might be under the
37
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:50.439
awning of a nearby business. Meanwhile, there's a conglomerate of them under a
38
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.599
tree over there in the shade.
And across the street you'll see another platoon
39
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.759
with their sunglasses on, cigarettes dangling
from their mouths as they size up the
40
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.479
possie that's staring at him down about
a half block down the road. I
41
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:08.400
swear they all look like a flock
of rival seniors citizen biker gangs, you
42
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.960
know, the vulkers and things,
distributed all over the place. And as
43
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.479
I played with this image of these
rival gangs in my head when I drive
44
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.479
by, and since I'm dangerously close
to joining their entourage myself in any event,
45
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.840
I thought some catchy names for these
gangs would be in order. That
46
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.319
group of elderly ladies over there sporting
bright colors and matching jewelry. They would
47
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.439
be the gaudy grannies. Then there's
Hell's geriatrics, you know, with their
48
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.240
long white beards and ponytails flipping in
the breeze. Yonderway, we have the
49
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.520
dentered devils, which are right across
the street from the foggy mental breakdown Brigetti,
50
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.879
and they're all watching to see if
the gaudy grannies are gonna rumble with
51
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.400
the blue haired Bally who's over there, close to where the library used to
52
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.960
be. That'll be enough. This
is you're jugging h Ross promote former and
53
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.680
currently deceased presidential candidate. And I
will tell you right now, Harry,
54
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:01.840
I don't think I'd be doing geriatric
jokes if I were you. Well,
55
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:06.400
no, but nothing here's so far
gone memory foamn souls, and I'm atic
56
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.960
gate ball won't help you remember why
you walked into the bathroom. You look
57
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.240
like in pre day came drawings.
Pretty soon you'll have more wrinkles in the
58
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.920
Hunter Biden case. And by the
way, you're about this far and sounded
59
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:21.759
like Joe Biden on queylu and speaking
of bad influences, I remember you're into
60
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.680
listening to heavy metal rock music,
theads a demonic possessions. Oh yeah,
61
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.639
you bet your liver fills. Let
me ask you this, have you ever
62
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.480
listened to heavy metal rock music?
Well? You know, I rest my
63
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.600
case. You're starting to sound like
some of those ministers I heard as a
64
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.879
teenager who wanted us to burn all
of our albums. And I also heard
65
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.000
it lead to suicidal false which reminds
me. I got some Judas Priest Rob
66
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:47.439
Zombie and a CD. We need
some decent music about right now? Well,
67
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:53.839
actually I agree, Oh please stop
it? Why why are you singing?
68
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.079
You so much? Later on?
You sing your favorite song? I
69
00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:00.439
left my kidney stone in San Francisco. That's all for me. Buck the
70
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:27.240
jingle music done show, all right, So we're gonna kick up the fun
71
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.680
here a few notches with my guests, who I haven't talked to in some
72
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.560
time. In fact, it's been
far too long actually. David Deeble is
73
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:39.560
a multi talented gentleman, a comedian, a juggler, a magician, and
74
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.720
much more. He was the only
juggler to appear on the Tonight Show with
75
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.800
Jay Leno. He's been on The
Late Late Show with James Gordon CBS This
76
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.959
Morning. A and E's Anti up
America's got talent Less comics standing among a
77
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:56.000
great many other venues and programs in
as David himself has observed, quote all
78
00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:01.279
this talent and I'm also a notary
and not take it. He's well,
79
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.480
he's off the cruise ship circuit for
a moment. That you actually just got
80
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.600
home. You were on a cruise
adventure, is that correct? Yeah,
81
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.800
I just got back about two days
ago, David. Is great to hear
82
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.720
from you, man, How you
been doing. It's nice to have you
83
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.360
back on the program here. Been
way too long, thank you. I
84
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.720
saw yes, Skype told me it's
been about a year or more. And
85
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:21.240
uh, I tell you, it's
just been too long. I told you
86
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:27.399
that even during our pre podcast conversation
here. Ire. I consider you a
87
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.759
great friend and I really enjoy your
writing and your podcast. Well, thank
88
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.639
you so much. And I catch
your your bits on the Facebook of course
89
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.199
and YouTube and all that, and
it's it's way too much fun and you
90
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.040
get paid to have fun. That's
really cool. So I can can I
91
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.079
assume just that right of the bat, you just came off of a cruise
92
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.639
right, correct? You were in
You were in the Very for Oblivion,
93
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:56.600
Iceland and Greenland, and I got
off in England all the lance. I
94
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.560
take it that the COVID restrictions have
lightened up a bit then in the last
95
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.600
couple of years or so. Yeah, they have their fine now. You
96
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:08.720
know, I'd never been to Greenland
before, so that was cool. It's
97
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.079
really interesting though, that you mentioned
that the restrictions. I'll get to that.
98
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.360
But you know, it's funny because
you go to Iceland and it's green,
99
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.920
but you gotta go to Greenland to
see ice Yeah, not that you
100
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:25.160
get to Greenland. You see icebergs
everywhere, That's right. They aren't really
101
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.360
beautiful actually, those glaciers. But
yeah, no, this was no restrictions
102
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.879
on this one. It was the
last cruise I did. There were still
103
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:38.879
some. I did a nude cruise
with a mask mandate, which was kind
104
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.879
of interesting because I was always raised, you know, when you go out
105
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.000
in public, you know, you
have to let people see your face,
106
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.279
but cover your own genitals. But
no like caws for old school, so
107
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.879
you know, they were hopelessly old
fashioned. They didn't follow the science,
108
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.639
Dave. So what can I what
can I say? No shirt, no
109
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.879
shoes. It's all cool as long
as you wear a mask, right,
110
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:03.040
that's right. You imagine getting kipped
off a nude cruise because you were your
111
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.959
face wasn't naked. I'm sorry I
refused to cover my face. U Yeah,
112
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.199
the world's upside down. Well,
I know. So are there any
113
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.800
in particular challenges to performing on a
cruise ship that you might not find,
114
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.879
you know, an irregular venue?
Oh sure, you know if people tend
115
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.480
to think, oh, it's so
glamorous and it's great, it is,
116
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.079
but you know it's also a high
pressure gig because I mean, I can't
117
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:31.839
think of any other realm and show
business where you know, you spend like
118
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:37.799
thirty grueling hours traveling halfway around the
planet for one ship. Then you have
119
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.320
to live with the audience for almost
a week, That's true. You just
120
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.879
can't say, hi, I help
yours, I'm out of here, that's
121
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:50.480
right, So it had better go
good. I'm just thinking, I know
122
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.720
that the staff is trained to do
things in an event of an emergency CPR
123
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.759
or emergency or a grass from the
ship or what have you. So you
124
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.440
just you just you're like you're like
the guys on the Titanic that kept playing
125
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.559
and you keep telling jokes while they
get in the life boats or how does
126
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.240
that work? Well? I uh, I when I when they do those
127
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.480
life boat drills, I'm I'm a
passenger. Okay, I'm not among the
128
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.320
I've never I suppose if it did
go down, they'd probably call me in
129
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:22.919
my cabin and it's come out and
take do that bit about paper clips.
130
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.799
Yeah, so I'm I'm a total
passenger status on the ship. But fortunately,
131
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.279
I don't think I've been in anything
worse than some really bad storms.
132
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.440
One time I was on a cruise
in the Mediterranean and they stopped and picked
133
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.960
up a fisherman whose boat was on
fire. Really and this was amazing.
134
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.480
You know, they bring him on
board, his ship is lost, and
135
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.240
you know he's the next thing you
know, he's having dinner in the dining
136
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.200
room with the captain, tucking into
a steak, and you talk about how
137
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.399
he couldn't help, But think what
a turn fortunes for this guy. Difference
138
00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:00.279
a few hours make exactly. Oh
my gosh, you know, you're a
139
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.519
drift at sea and you know,
next you know you're on a five star
140
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:09.279
cruise. Right. How many cruises
are how much of the year, do
141
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.919
you actually spend working cruises? Uh, well, it depends since the pandemic,
142
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.559
not as often, but I still
go out every month or so.
143
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.919
Okay, I've This one was to
Greenland, which was nice because I had
144
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.000
never been to Greenland. There's not
many countries the cruise ships go to that
145
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:33.039
I hadn't been to before that.
I did Hawaii Guam, and that is
146
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:39.519
one where the Japanese government required a
mask mandate in the theater because you know,
147
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:48.159
the virus spreads more readily in a
comedy venue, say right, Needless
148
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:54.039
to say, the crowds are pretty
sparse. Nobody wants to go on a
149
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.840
mask, so they just found better
things to do than go to the show.
150
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.720
So it's really really angering and it's
so irrational. They cut off They
151
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.559
even roped off the front row so
no one could sit in the front row.
152
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.960
I guess that's for my benefit,
I don't know. But then the
153
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.200
second row becomes the new first row. I didn't even know what the point
154
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.600
is there, And the question you
should have walked up with some Gallagher material
155
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.759
for that, just to make it
worth worth the effort, you know,
156
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.240
to shield themselves a little bit plexiglass, just make everybody sit in the back
157
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.840
row or something. Now you travel
to and from Europe a great deal,
158
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.679
at least twice a year though I
know of. But and we know how
159
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:37.480
tedious airport security has become in the
US. So what's what's airport security like
160
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.519
in Europe? Is it the same? I mean here it's like security theater.
161
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:45.879
But what's it like there? Right? Yeah? Yeah, it's bad
162
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.720
theater too, isn't it. It's
fight. It's very much like the US.
163
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:58.000
I mean, except that you know, the security personnel in Europe they
164
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.399
say things to you, American security
person I'll never say things like, you
165
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:09.360
know, please and thank you and
have a nice day, and you pay
166
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:11.840
our salaries, so we're gonna treat
you with respect. Well, it is
167
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.279
the old world. Yeah, that's
right, Yeah, you know. I
168
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.799
you know, men can't even get
pregnant out here. It's unbelievable. They're
169
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.159
just yeah, they're not. They
have come up with the times yet.
170
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.879
But I don't want I don't want
all the Ricochet people coming after me for
171
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:30.120
saying nice things about Germany. But
not all is lost over here, at
172
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:35.200
least not on the pregnancy front.
So one thing I would love for the
173
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:41.039
US to get is the technology that
allows Europeans to get on a plane without
174
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.879
taking their shoes off? I mean, is this is this something that can
175
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.679
be militarized or something and we can't
have it? Or what on earth?
176
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.519
They don't have to take off their
shoes. I don't have to take off
177
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.240
my shoes when I'm here. Why
can't we do that in the United States?
178
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:00.840
This craziness they have they have a
technological edge on or do they figure
179
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.320
if you don't set off the little
detectors when you walk through the little this
180
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.080
little station, little phone booth there, that your shoes must be okay?
181
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.919
Anyway, far be it for me
to know, Dave. I am just
182
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:15.200
a humble circus traveler. I don't
know what's behind these decisions. All I
183
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:20.399
know is that planes are not crashing
left and right, hijackings are not play
184
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.960
taking place, and you can leave
your shoes on. It's even better.
185
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:30.799
That's that's that's first world stuff.
Now that's you spend roughly half the year
186
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.679
in Germany, is that correct?
And half in California? Now, well,
187
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.559
we're based in Germany right now.
We have lived in California, but
188
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:43.559
I'm traveling a lot. I'm so
I'm often in the US more than my
189
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.080
wife and kids are, but we
live here. We don't have a home
190
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.120
right now in California, so when
we're out there, we're staying with friends
191
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.840
or hotels and we make it,
make it work. But I am performing
192
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.919
out there a lot, and just
not just California, and gonna be in
193
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:05.639
Las Vegas coming up and uh,
Phoenix and the Southwest. But we're based
194
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.679
here right now. Okay. Well, by the way, just as an
195
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.440
aside, if you happen to come
back to the Southeast, I've been in
196
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.200
Florida about a year now. That's
that's that's where I hang out. So
197
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.559
if you want to come down to
the Florida Panhandla when we don't have a
198
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.320
hurricane head of our direction, then
come on down. Well that's you know
199
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.480
what. I can't keep track of
you. I mean I can't either.
200
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:28.559
But you you beat before you lived
in Memphis, you lived somewhere in Louisiana
201
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.519
or you're from Yeah, I'm from
Louisiana. Yeah. I've basically lived on
202
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.480
the road when I was doing the
eighteen wheeler thing and then I lived I've
203
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:37.799
lived here in Panama City, Florida, off and on since nineteen eighty.
204
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.919
So I went to college here,
I was, I was living here,
205
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.039
and I went active duty. I
was stationed here a couple of times,
206
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.440
and when I retired from active duty, it was here in Panama City at
207
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.559
the Air Force Base. So it's
kind of like a second home. And
208
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.519
Memphis is kind of like Mogadishu.
So I thought, we can do better
209
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.320
than this. So I'm out of
the Yeah, so that's why I heard,
210
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:05.200
speaking of order, that governor to
Scantist has just asked the Pensacola Police
211
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.399
to take a mug shot of him. I don't know why he's going to
212
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.639
have a tough time replicating that scowl. I don't know, but oh my
213
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.360
god, coming to a shirt.
I just glanced at it. I mean
214
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.919
I would kill for such a head
shot, I mean on that thing.
215
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.879
And I assume it's a mug shot. So they got it in one take,
216
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.519
you know, But I mean he
looks just absolutely pissed off. Well
217
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.639
and he should, Yes, can
you act? Because that's what I was
218
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.759
thinking, because guess I knew there
was going to be a mug shot.
219
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.799
I know a lot. I have
friends who have been waiting for this moment
220
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:43.360
for years and a lot many more
waiting for the orange jumpsuit, the handcuffs,
221
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.080
and so I was thinking, well, what's he gonna do? Is
222
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.039
he gonna smile? Is he gonna
extend his middle finger by smiling? Thinking
223
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:58.080
no, this is better the scowl, Yes, is is? Uh?
224
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.279
I remember these two thousands, sixteen
campaigns when he says, uh, Donald
225
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:08.000
Trump will turn Washington upside down?
And I heard that and I thought,
226
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:14.960
good lord, who says this?
Well, he made them lose their minds.
227
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.960
So you have to say that,
Yeah, you have any chance,
228
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.759
you have to scowl, you can't
be nice? Well, and I have
229
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:23.200
them this is this is not this
kind off topic, but what the hell?
230
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.840
I have an idea that the people
in Fulton County that really really wanted
231
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.559
this mudshot are going to regret it. Oh I think they already do.
232
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.399
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, So back to Germany we
233
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:40.000
mentioned mentioned before, We were talking
about Germany whenever before we kicked the recorder
234
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.360
on and I was out there a
few times when I was active duty,
235
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.000
and love the place, love love
the people. What's it? What's it
236
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.919
you lived there? What's your wife? Is German? Right? That's correct?
237
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.679
Okay, So what's it light living
in Germany, then uh, it's
238
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.240
fine, it's fine. You know, we made we joked earlier about men
239
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:04.160
getting pregnant. But the whole transgender
movement that's sweeping the English speaking world has
240
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:08.200
has not made its way here in
Germany. In France, they're actively fighting
241
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:14.799
it. In Germany, I don't
think most Germans even really know what's going
242
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:22.200
on that the CDC no longer uses
terms like pregnant women. Instead it's pregnant
243
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:30.240
people. Including my wife. She's
not aware of the extent of this kind
244
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:37.319
of derangement. So in that sense, it's great. Uh yeah, they're
245
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.319
all on board. The difference to
experts is something that doesn't sit well with
246
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.680
me. But fortunately I have an
opportunity to I have some German friends and
247
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:52.759
we can talk about those things.
And I think that even now that is
248
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:57.279
beginning to erode, what with all
the lies told about the origin of COVID
249
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:04.880
and the utility of masks and restrictions
and the costs of telling people they can't
250
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:10.119
go to church or they have to
stay indoors with other people in order to
251
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.240
stop the spread of her respiratory illness
instead of going outside. So this is
252
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:19.279
this whole concept of what's happening here
is part of me foreign to the folks
253
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:25.039
in Germany, then, yeah,
it really is. And I only know
254
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:30.079
about it because I you know,
I have an Internet connection, but I
255
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:36.440
read about England and Scotland, and
you know, there are positive developments in
256
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.240
those two places as well. But
it really does seem to be an English
257
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.920
language phenomenon. I was thinking about
this. You know, the athletics or
258
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:51.519
Track and Field World Championships is going
on right now in Budapest, and there's
259
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:55.880
a female athlete from the United States
ever get her name. She's a miler
260
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.799
fifteen hundred meter runner, and she
has her own pronouns, and her pronouns
261
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:04.240
are they in them? And she's
the only athlete of the hundreds that I'm
262
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:08.920
aware of at the Track and Field
World Championships with their own pronouns. And
263
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.519
I was thinking the other day,
why doesn't it surprised me that it's a
264
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:19.359
privileged white woman who has her own
pronouns. Meanwhile, you've got these Kenyan
265
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:25.160
farmers who can do one thing good
in life other than being poor, and
266
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:30.599
that is run all day and they
have an opportunity to improve themselves and their
267
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:37.240
families and so they become marathon runners, ten thousand meter runners, and the
268
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:42.559
idea that they would have their own
pronouns is it's funny, it's it's Scott
269
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.400
Gonson would say, it's it's almost
funny. Yeah, yeah. And if
270
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.359
it is, if those runners had
a if they could choose a pronoun,
271
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:53.839
I bet it would be winner,
that's right, you know, gold medalists,
272
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:57.200
right, yeah, exactly, exactly. Well, and I'm convinced that
273
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.759
just to have a little bit of
fun and people, well, what'd identify
274
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.799
as they that kind of thing,
we just call them group. Referred to
275
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.799
them as group, okay, group, you know, because it's it's a
276
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:08.599
plural. So let's just run with
that. Yeah, I mean, god
277
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:14.039
forbid. Would imagine if if they
were ever achieved their agenda where everyone chose
278
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.279
their own pronouns. I mean,
what what would we do? I mean
279
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:22.599
German German language has three pronouns,
and there's some effort which I'm as a
280
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:29.519
conservative, posed to simplifying the language
just one gender, so make it like
281
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:34.000
English, just everything would be dad
instead of dad, d dust damn men.
282
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:40.559
So it's you know, this is
the way progressives think they think we
283
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:45.079
are here. We know better Why
does everything have to be so complicated?
284
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:49.240
Who cares about the past? Just
make it one word like in English.
285
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:53.200
Ever done, Let's let's run from
there. Now. I do understand correctly
286
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:59.720
that you're a contributing writer over at
the Babylon b No. I used to
287
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.039
be ok about twelve headlines over there, Oh okay, okay, because they've
288
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.400
got some wonderful stuff, and I
just I said, just see your work
289
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:07.680
at it, you know, oh, thank you. With some of those,
290
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:12.279
I like to think we're bid.
It's just I kept submitting headlines and
291
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:15.880
they'd getting rejected, and then I'd
see them publish other headlines, and I
292
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:21.519
didn't think we're good. And then
they started publishing headlines it sounded like mine
293
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:25.160
but weren't, and I had to
talk with them about that. They ended
294
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:26.640
up giving me credit, and then
I thought, you know what, I'm
295
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.160
just going to start working for myself, and so now I do them on
296
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:37.440
stage. That brings up another question
with reference to comics stealing material from other
297
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:40.640
comics, or in your case,
they take your work and appropriated into their
298
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.119
headlines and things. So what's what's
the deal? Is there a lot of
299
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:47.559
that going on in the comic comedian
industry. I wouldn't say a lot,
300
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:51.039
it does happen. The thing is
with you know, if you're a singer,
301
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:55.119
you can do other people's material.
You sing a Paul Anka song or
302
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:59.079
whatever. But if you're a comedian, you can't do covers. It's called
303
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.160
stealing material. That would be cool
if you could. I mean, I
304
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.519
mean, here's a bit about you
know, turtlenecks. It was a big
305
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:08.799
hit for Jerry Seinfeld back in nineteen
eighty seven. What's the view with turtlenin?
306
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:15.599
But it happened to me. Actually
two nights ago I do this.
307
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:19.839
We mentioned Babylon B headlines, one
which I submitted was not published, was
308
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:23.839
it was a very twenty twenty three
headline. I'm wanna make sure I get
309
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:30.119
it right. Pregnant No elderly woman
gives up seat on bus for pregnant man.
310
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:34.720
Okay, so that's the head Yeah, it's funny. It gets a
311
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:41.039
good laugh on stage. And I'm
watching Instagram reels, which is like YouTube
312
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.759
shorts, like thirty second videos.
This comedian named Steve Byrne, very funny
313
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.480
guy. I even told my wife
as much before I discovered this next joke.
314
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:52.599
I'm going to relate to guy Boy. This guy's so funny. I
315
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.079
thought, I wonder if he has
writers or something. And and he's on
316
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:00.279
stage and he says, you know, you never see we're in You're going
317
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.000
to see something uplifting. Even in
La. I was in downtown La on
318
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:08.359
the bus, crowded bus, and
this elderly woman stood up and gave up
319
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:12.599
her seat to a pregnant man.
That's that's the way he's having the exact
320
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:18.920
premise, the same words, elderly
woman, pregnant man, crowded bus.
321
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:26.240
And I suppose it's possible that he
came up with it on his own.
322
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.720
I suspect. I even think there
was a musician behind him on stage who
323
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:36.000
looked fill my hair to me.
So I think it probably just got passed
324
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:37.759
through the grape vine and he ended
up doing it. But what can you
325
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.160
do, you know? So what
I've decided to do, I like the
326
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.160
way he does it better than just
my headline for him. So I'm going
327
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:51.680
to start borrowing back tabs his eyes
because he's so moved, So I'm gonna
328
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:55.279
try to get a little something back. Yeah yeah, yeah, not like
329
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:57.720
that. So in terms of the
headlines that we're a scene that we're seeing
330
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:02.079
around us. I mean, some
of this stuff is it's almost I would
331
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.640
think it'd be tough to make a
parody of things that are parodies to begin
332
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.119
with, But you've got to find
a way to work with it, right,
333
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.000
I know it is, that's absolutely
true. I mean I just saw
334
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.519
I get the name of the guy. There's a lot of Special Counsel investigations
335
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.440
going on, as you know,
and you may recall that one of them
336
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:26.519
is actually into President Biden's alleged mishandling
of classified documents. Remember that one,
337
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.119
Well, yeah, by his core
bath in the garage. Yeah, the
338
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.559
special counsel in that one I read, announced he's going to wrap up that
339
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.920
investigation by twenty forty eight, So
we have that to look forward to,
340
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:42.839
right, yeah, in time for
yeah, well hundred will be running for
341
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:45.440
president by that time. That's right, That's right, it is. It
342
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:49.960
is hard to do satire when you
see headlines like that, but the field
343
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:55.279
is right, right. You got
President Biden making every catastrophe across the country
344
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:59.599
about him and his kitchen fire or
some other incident in his life. And
345
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.359
yeah, I don't think he called
it a kitchen fire. The whole damn
346
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:04.640
place to burn it down. Yeah, that's a shame, you know.
347
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:12.759
I Lahina is a big cruise port, was until you know, the Democrats
348
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:18.640
in Hawaii decided to cover the entire
island with solar panels and forget about,
349
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:23.200
you know, keeping the current grid
safe. Yeah, it's a great little
350
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.319
town, very touristy, and yeah
it looks like Hiroshima. I mean these
351
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:32.160
images are just terrible. But I
mean others have pointed out he does that
352
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:37.039
a lot. He injects himself or
his late son Bow, or his late
353
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.839
wife, late daughter in the county. And you know, whenever he meets
354
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.920
someone who's lost a child, it
always comes back to him. That's nothing
355
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:49.400
new in his career. I mean, his gait is worse than he stutters
356
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:52.319
now. I don't know if you
saw this thing of him on a working
357
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.960
with a what do you call it, a whiteboard with a black marker,
358
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:04.119
and it's not live, it was
pre recording, and he's mumbling through the
359
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:10.000
whole thing, and I am thinking, well, good lord, this is
360
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:15.559
the version they put out there.
Imagine what he was like. Yeah,
361
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:21.160
take I mean good, it's again, it's almost funny. Well, if
362
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:22.920
he weren't, if he weren't president. I'm sorry, if we weren't president,
363
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.440
it would be funny. And then
yeah, because it looks a lot
364
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:33.119
like remember Tim Conway and the Kiscuits
he did on Carolinevitch is hysterically funny,
365
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.680
but they weren't real life, you
know, right exactly. So I don't
366
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.119
know if this is a fair question
or not, but you're the only comic
367
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:44.240
that I feel actually safe asking this
of. I'm pretty sure that you and
368
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:47.640
I both grew up watching some of
the comedy grates Robin Williams towards Carlin,
369
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:51.440
Don Rick Holes, you know,
all those folks. So I moved to
370
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:53.759
Florida about a year ago, and
as I mentioned then, I've actually attended
371
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:57.880
some local stand up comedy shows at
nightclubs, and I actually ended up walking
372
00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:02.319
out in more than one. And
I don't know if it's an effort to
373
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:06.480
be edgy on the part of the
comics, and I'm no prude. Even
374
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:10.279
the comedy bits I do on this
program are edgy to a point, and
375
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:11.920
so I don't retire to the fading
couch. For example, every time I
376
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:17.079
hear the F bomb, but after
the first two or three hundred thousand times,
377
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:21.920
I hear it, it becomes mundane. So I guess my question is
378
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:25.200
am I being overly sensitive here?
I call it the dance of the monotonous
379
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:29.680
vulgarians when I see these things happen
at local nightclubs, and it was just
380
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:33.160
an age thing because it really does
seem less witty or even a cerbic and
381
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:40.599
just more boringly vulgar. When I
missing something here or what well, I'd
382
00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:42.559
have to see the comedians were referring
to, of course, but basically,
383
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:48.240
if you're noticing how vulgar they are, then obviously they're not being funny because
384
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.079
if something's funny, you really don't
notice, you know, right, comedian
385
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:57.279
is bald or using vulgarity. I
mean, my parents saw Johnny Carson in
386
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:03.519
Las Vegas, and you know,
his Vegas act was, you know,
387
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.960
not the monologue he did five nights
a week for what thirty forty years in
388
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.920
front of the rest of the country. But that wasn't a vulgarity. That
389
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:18.920
was just you know, adult themes. So my philosophy is I try to
390
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:23.640
be real. I speak on stage
the way you and I would, which
391
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:32.160
is to say, I certainly can't
tell you I'll never use vulgarity or tell
392
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:37.279
an off color joke or anything like
that. But on the other hand,
393
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:41.359
you know, like you're on a
cruise ship or you've got a private engagement
394
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.960
or a church show, and they
have certain ways you'd like to work,
395
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.519
then you've got to be able to
work that way too. Certainly true.
396
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.240
I mean, I will say this
for comedy clubs there, they really are
397
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:57.000
the last You may not get a
good comedian and that that's a real problem,
398
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:02.519
but you're gonna You're not gonna get
somebody who's been told what he can
399
00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:06.559
and cannot say. I've never been
to a comedy club that said, listen,
400
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.440
politics is off limits. You know, anything is off limits. Whereas
401
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:15.079
the other end of the spectrum,
you go to a a college show,
402
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:22.200
say, and you know, doing
jokes about pregnant men is considered edgy.
403
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:23.680
You know, I do a joke
out about being married. You know,
404
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:29.039
I got married to old school to
a woman. You know, I'm sorry.
405
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:33.599
If that's edgy, then I'm sorry, you'll just have to hire another
406
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.480
communion. Right, Yeah, I
totally get it. Last question here,
407
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:40.640
do you live a pretty eventful life
with all the traveling and the cruises and
408
00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:42.680
the performing and all that stuff.
So do you do have a bucket list
409
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.400
at this point, or there's certain
things that you haven't done that you still
410
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:49.759
want to tick off the list,
or uh no, I don't have a
411
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:55.039
bucket list. I have a list
that rhymes with it, and it's a
412
00:29:55.160 --> 00:30:00.039
list of all the things I've given
up trying to accomplish. I'm all mentioned
413
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:04.960
it here because this is a as
you say, family, Yeah, things
414
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:07.799
I've given up trying to let Yeah, I totally get it. I totally
415
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.079
get it. Well, this has
been fun. It always is fun.
416
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:12.759
We'll have to do this more often. I would love to Dave, and
417
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:15.599
I'm sorry for speaking over you.
I'm terrible at this, but if you
418
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.559
have me back, I will get
better. No, no, no,
419
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:21.880
you you're great. And we've got
a little of delay since we're on opposite
420
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:23.359
you know, sides of the globe
number one, and we're doing this over
421
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:26.680
Skype and all that, so everything
doesn't always mesh in the way that wants.
422
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:29.799
It's been great, it's been fun. We'll do this again. It's
423
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:32.720
been a treat. Thank you,
it would be my pleasure. Thank you
424
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:33.839
so much, and thanks for taking
time to be on the program. It's
425
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.440
been a treat. We'll see you
later, man, Thank you, Bye
426
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.880
bye, folks. That's Dave Deebel
on the Dave Carter Show. We were
427
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:44.480
talking with Pat say, Jack,
there's almost a vaudeville quality to that,
428
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.440
to the humor at times, which
I think is missing. Were you influenced
429
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.279
by those folks? Oh? Sure, I mean you know, first of
430
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:53.240
all, I'm old, so of
course you know those are those are the
431
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.519
people I grew up in school with. Yeah. Look, you know,
432
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:02.519
look, I don't begrudge change.
It happened. Humor changes, deliveries change,
433
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:04.359
but I'm I'm not gonna you know, I'm not going to try to
434
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:07.119
adapt to that and be hip and
and all that stuff. I'm not hip.
435
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:11.000
I'm the only time you see the
word hip associated with me if it's
436
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:14.599
followed by the word replacement. If
your speakers are making a funny sound,
437
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.000
you're listening to the Dave Carter Show. Well, my friend, has been
438
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:19.400
a pleasure, as always in an
honor to have you on the show.
439
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:22.799
Thank you so very much, Dave, Thank you, and don't ever ask
440
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:47.240
me to do this again. Carter. Well, that was fun. By
441
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:51.359
the way, that little that little
clip you just heard with pat Say Jack
442
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:53.119
was from a conversation that I had
with him. It's been a few years
443
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:56.880
back now and but then luck we'll
have him on the program again. It's
444
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:01.079
always fun to talk with him,
as great talking with David Dieble the day
445
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:06.680
I you know, I first met
met him at Ricochet's two hundred Podcasts,
446
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:10.559
which was done before a live audience
in LA featuring Rob Long, Peter Robinson,
447
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:15.079
James Lilacs along with Pat Say Jack, Dennis Prager, Troy Senek and
448
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:19.200
some other folks and they, you
know, even found room for me on
449
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:22.559
stage, and it was it was
great fun. We really had a wonderful
450
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:27.079
time. And it was at that
event that I actually met David Deeble and
451
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:31.119
his delightful wife, and they're just
a wonderful couple. David is just effervescent.
452
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:37.799
He's got a wry and interesting perspective
on things and of course informs his
453
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:43.200
terrific sense of humor. So he
performs around the world various venues and he's
454
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:45.599
got a great following, including girls
truly here and we're going to get him
455
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:51.319
on the show more frequently and enjoy
his take on things. I mean,
456
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:53.480
you have to admit it is it's
a given at this point that we're living
457
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:58.480
through some pretty strange times, I
guess, and I can't honestly say that
458
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:02.920
it's going to get any better.
But humor becomes even more important than difficult
459
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:07.960
times. I mean, look,
growing up, you could have roped a
460
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:10.759
sizable segment of my family off and
charge your mission to watch. Are you
461
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:15.160
kidding? A group of Louisiana Cajuns, Oh, my soul. From the
462
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:20.799
story of my Grandma Carter cutting holes
in the bottom of Grandpa's hip boots that
463
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:22.799
are used for duck hunting. Yes, you cut holes in the bottom of
464
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:27.079
the boots so that in the event
that water would drain over the top,
465
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:30.160
and then did the boot, why
it would it would drain out the bottom,
466
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:34.279
right, makes perport sense. You
can't make it up. But getting
467
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:38.880
a Grandpa Carter and my dad in
the same room, or if you if
468
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:43.720
you threw in Uncle Lester into the
mix, I mean you had to make
469
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:46.079
sure you weren't drinking anything that you
wouldn't mind shooting out your nose when the
470
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:52.599
jokes would start. It was just
so much fun. So humor becomes a
471
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:58.640
method of coping with the bad times
and taking a breather and getting some perspective
472
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:01.240
and stressful times. And let's not
forget humors, one of the most effective
473
00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:07.640
weapons out there against bullies or corruption, even those precious, little bit busybodies
474
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:10.800
you know who want to regulate your
gas stove or your car, your ceiling
475
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.960
fans from what I'm hearing, and
the list just keeps growing. So when
476
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:19.719
all else fails, laugh with them
or laugh at them. Either way,
477
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:23.000
enjoy yourself. And if you're looking
for some interesting perspectives on the issue and
478
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:25.760
the challenges of the day, we'll
come on over to the place where you
