Wsu, home of Klay Thompson. So we're gonna be doing the show in here, this theater, a thousand people. And college shows are interesting because you got a lot of 18, 19, 20 year old kids. They've never done, they've never heard a comedy show before, so sometimes they just look at you. They don't know if it's polite or impolite to laugh and you can't say certain things, so we just do it. Look at Tom's head and you know, so we just try. Have you. This is your first college show? Yeah, I done another one. Oh, you did Oberlin, right. So. All right, fellas, how do you think tonight's gonna go? It's gonna be good, man. Excited? Hell yeah. See, funny guy. See, that's what it is. Nobody even knows who the hell I am. That's good. I've been watching your videos to prepare, so. Hey, you know what? That's a good sign. That means you could do all your old stuff because they don't know what the hell's going on. But I won't. I'm committed to the and I'm going to stay clean because it's friends and family night here at Pullman University, so. At Washington State University in Pullman. So I think for tonight, some of the jokes I want to try, definitely make it fun of wsu. They're the Cougars, so think of some bits on that. Talk about Klay Thompson, because he's the most famous person ever go here and dude, let me tell you something. Sold a thousand seats in Pullman, Washington, and 600 seats in Boise, Idaho. Christy the farmer is back. Okay. Chrissy the white. That's what I'm known as in this part of the country. That's the one thing you notice. Chrissy the crop duster dude, farting and walking. I mean, the one thing you notice about coming out to this part of the country is there is just, I mean, almost no black or Chinese people. It is just white, Mexican. That's what this part of the country is. And I'm out of breath walking up the stairs. And that's a problem. And the only way to solve that problem. Fried mushroom. All right, let's see your next comic coming to stage. He's very funny. He has a special on Hulu right now. Make it loud for Chris DiStefano. All right. Yeah, man. Give it up for Tom Feedback. Absolutely. He just absolutely bombed. Oh, yeah. That was a hot one, man. And he's hilarious. I was laughing in the back. You guys just didn't get it. You were like, his head is so big. It's also from this angle, too, because we're on the floor and you guys. So the upper deck must have been like, that guy looks like a lollipop. This is. This is a wild choice for me to just stand here and, you know, I feel like I'm being teabagged. But the show was supposed to be all in the arena. But I just didn't know that I was supposed to promote it. I thought that it was just a closed circuit college show that, you know, it was just for the students. And then I got here, they were like, you know, it was open to the town, and we were hoping that you would sell tickets, so. But you didn't ever say that you were coming. So now you'll just stand on the floor at the bottom of the theater, and we're just going to put the whole audience on top of you because you're a dumb idiot. And I flew on three connecting flights to come here, and I just forgot to let anyone know. I never mentioned him for one second, ever. And now I'm just going to have to sit here and deal with it. And I'm just. Yeah, and I'm. It just. Yeah, but. But it's okay. It's okay, dude. It's okay. After this, I'm going to go back to beautiful Spokane, Washington. I mean, what an absolute shithole. I mean, I'm trying not. I'm not going to curse that much. I promise my mother. I would not curse for Lent. It's parents family weekend here. But I just. I. There's no other word to describe that city other than an utter and absolute. I mean, it can't be understated how I was blown away by how awful that town is. And I normally, I'm like, you know what? Lay back a little bit. People are from there. But I want to tell you, if you are someone who is from Spokane, you're in the crowd tonight. You need to go get therapy because you have Stockholm Syndrome. And you're, you're just. You're not leaving. You've been kidnapped and they put you in Spokane and you can leave. I mean, I couldn't believe the amount of heroin I saw. It's wild. It's a wild place. And then I drove two hours from Spokane to here, and I didn't see one building or one person. I, I actually, y. I actually. Cause I said to myself, because my agent said, you gotta let people know that you're at Washington State. You were supposed to promote it. I said on the drive, the two hour drive, I'm gonna stop people and give them free tickets to the show. And I drove for two hours and I gave one ticket to a chicken. That's all I saw. It is unbelievable. This is, you know, but we're here now. We're having a good time. We're here with the Cougars. Yeah, the Cougars. The Cougars are here for family weekend. That's what it is. Oh, I love it. I love the old family weekend. You know, a lot of the kids probably forgot, you know, your mom just showed up. You have your edibles out. Use condoms? No, it's for a science project. No, mom, it's. No, it's for. We're doing in the lab. But it's good, man. This is a good. You know, you've picked a good school for your children. You know, you pick the school in Washington State University where you just kind of sign up and get in. There's no entry. You kind of just walk up here. Hey, I'm from Spokane. And they kind of. All right, you come in here. Here's a tractor. And you sit on this and that's what you do. And we learn about agriculture and tractors. Yeah. University of Washington. You have to get into this one. You just show up to. That's. Yes. Yes. Boo. Yeah. Yeah. Suck it, Washing. University of Washington. I'm about Washington State. This is the school I would come to because I'm a state school kind of guy. 100%. 100%. I'm a state school kind of guy. I'm almost legally retarded. So that's. This is the school for me. This is what it is. You know, I got kicked out of multiple high schools. I'm Washington State University material. Yes. This is what it is, a good school, man. Yeah. But I do like, you know, I like this whole part of the country. I was in Boise, Idaho. Yes. Yesterday, your neighboring state there. And that was fun, man. You know, that was. That was a fun. I did a venue last night and the theater was connected to a Dollar Fiesta dollar store. And so, you know, I've felt good out here on this trip so far form one venue that's connected to a dollar store. And now I'm standing on the floor in the back of the arena that I was supposed to have full. I'm doing a show from the loading dock. I'm as far away geographically in the continental United States from my family as I possibly could be. I'm with this guy in a beer. Dude, I don't know if I'm on mushrooms. Did you just appear, sir? This guy. You just look like a yeti. And it's insane. And it's insane. Wow. Somebody's like, wants to sue me now. Because this is what it is with comedy now. Everyone's like, I'm going to sue you. Because, you know, I'm in Boise, Idaho, last night. So I go to the crowd, I go, yo, in Idaho, do you guys just call gay people sweet potatoes? And my lawyer this morning was like, yeah, somebody wants to sue you for hate speech. I said, do it. Just do it, dude. I'm a student at Washington State University. They can't hurt me. They can't hurt me. What a wild man this is, you know, but this is good. This is good. I, you know, it's one thing, I will say between the states of Washington and Idaho is one thing. You don't seem to have a lot of is black people now. I. Or Chinese. I have seen a few. I knew I was getting close to the college when we were here because I started to see just swarms of Asian children walking, just Asian teenagers walking. I said, those must be the students at Washington State University. But it is an interesting. It is overwhelmingly white now. I would say, you know, Idaho, no porn. No porn. I'm sticking sweet potatoes up my ass. And so, you know, but here, it's good. We're safe here, you know? Yes. We've lit up Spokane. Spokane is a little sticky today because the boys were backed up. And so I do like it here. I do like this. Do like this place, man. You know, maybe my kids will go here. I would like my daughters to go here to Washington. I would like my daughters to come to Washington State University. From Brooklyn to Washington State. I'll threaten them with that. Hey, keep messing with me, I'll send you to Washington State University. Okay? Yeah, you want. I'm going to send you to Pullman. Oh, my God. Dude.

It seems like there's a lot of business out here, and Seems like business is booming on the route from Spokane to Pullman. What. What the hell? Physical therapy. Is that a big major out here for real? Oh, it's not. It's not. Oh, did you say it because I used to be a physical therapist? Yes. Thank you. Here we go. Yes, I did. I did used to be a physical therapist. That was a crazy job, dude. My very first day as a physical therapist was one of the craziest days of my life. Like, nuts. Day one. So I become a physical therapist, right? It's great. Pass my boards exam. Licensed. Big deal, right? So I get. I interview for a job. I get it. Outpatient orthopedic clinic out in Long Island, New York. The boss was, like, a criminal. He seemed like just a grease ball. Like, this was definitely a guy, like, just, you know, swindling money. Like, he had his physical therapy license, but he wasn't an actual therapist. He, like, paid somebody. His name was Vito. So it's like, that's not. Nobody named Vito is, like, actually knows what they're doing. So I show up, day one, and I'm like, hey, you know, nice to see you, Vito. I'm here. You know, it was easy getting in. And he was like, are you the new guy? And I was like, yeah, you hired me last week. Like, you're the one who told me. He was like, yeah. He goes, listen, I got a job for you. I was like, yeah, no, that's why I'm here. I'm a licensed physical therapist. I. I have on Dockers, and I'm, you know, I'm in my khakis. My mom ironed them. This is my first day as a physical therapist. And he's like, yeah. He goes, the job's at my house. I was like, what? He was like, I got a problem at my house. You got to fix it. And I was like, okay. So I'm thinking, like, maybe somebody fell at his house. I don't know what to do. So he gives me directions to his house. This is 100% true story. Gives me directions to his house. I get to his house. His wife is outside the house, and she's like, did Vito send you? I'm like, yeah, my name's Chris. I just. You know, this is my first day. She was like, thank God. And then he. She was like, what do you do? I was like, I'm a physical therapist. He was like. She was like, I don't know how that's going to help this situation. And I was like, oh, okay, Should I go home? And she was like, no, you gotta help me. Come in the yard. So I go in their backyard. Okay, I'm walking in again. Physical therapist. I walk in. What I see is they had a giant turtle, like a tortoise, like a prehistoric Galapagos island, like, tortoise that I've never seen. Like, this is, like, an exotic animal that exists in other countries. He has this thing, and then a dog. And the dog went to go bite the turtle's head, and the turtle retracted its head into its shell and pulled the dog's face with it. So now the dog's face is stuck in the turtle shell, and the dog is slowly dying, and the turtle won't let go. And I have, like, three minutes to figure this out. So she's like, what are you going to do? And I was like, massage the turtle. I don't know. Did the turtle have hamstrings? That's all I know how to do. She's like, you got to figure it out. And so I don't know what to do. So I'm looking around, and I see a stick on the floor, like a. You know, like a log branch. And I say, okay, let me poke the turtle's head, and then maybe that'll get the turtles to, like, let go. And it's not working. It's just not working. And she's like, you got to figure it out. You got to figure it out. I'm like, okay. I remember vibration therapy in physical therapy school being something that calmed people down. So maybe it'll calm this animal down. So I'm thinking, it's got a hard turtle shell. I'm just going to bang this turtle shell and cause a vibration through its body, and maybe that'll calm everyone down. So I am wailing on this turtle, and she's like, you're gonna kill my turtle. I was like, what animal do you want me to save? She was like, I can't even look. So it's not working. This turtle is not moving. And now I'm panicking. Now I see the dogs, like, slowly getting, like. The breathing's getting very labored. I'm like, oh, my God. This is my first day. So I do, like. I walk around. I used to, like, just walk around, like, in circles when I couldn't think of an answer. In physical therapy school, I'm on the spectrum. So I Just used. I just used to walk. And so I do a couple of laps around the problem, and then I'm looking at the turtle and the dog from the back, and I notice that the turtle's laying down. And I can see perfect as clear as day. It's butthole just open. And I look at the stick, and I look at the turtle's butt, and I say to myself, I know what would get me to pop out of my shell. So I say to his wife, I say, janet. I'm assuming your name's Janet. Janet, you're gonna want to turn around. But I think I found a way out. So I, you know, she turns around, I lick the stick, and you have to. I get down on one knee, and I slowly put that stick in that turtle's butt. Folks, let me tell you something. Within two seconds, that turtle's arms, legs, head pop out of the shell, releases the dog. The dog gets out, you know, is in a frantic mess, runs out of the backyard, across the street, gets hit by a car. I immediately, from one hell to another. So the dog is just laying there in the middle of the street, and I just gave Janet the stick. I said, you know what to do. And I drove home. I drove home, and I never went back to that man's physical therapy clinic again. And then, I swear to God, dude, two months later, he just died. So that's just kind of. I guess it'll just end on the guy died. But, yeah, you made me think of that. It is a wild thing to be a, you know, physical therapist. It's. It is stupid. Like, not stupid. It's. I was proud, but it's like, they make you get a doctorate degree, and it's like, it's very confusing. Like, you're not a doctor. Stop. Like, I don't. I honestly, I don't know what to do. Like, my mother was, like, so proud. She's like, my son's a doctor. Yeah. Like, her friend Barbara was sick once. I remember. She's like, don't go to the doctor. We got a doctor right here. I was like, I don't know. I have no idea what to do. You know, it was like. She was like, I have a sore throat, a fever. I'm coughing up blood. I was like, I can massage your elbows. Maybe that will calm you guys. I want to thank Bluechew for sponsoring this podcast. You know me, I get rock hard. Look at me. I took a couple bluechews. My is a seal right now. Stone cold.

I like to do that at college shows just because it's an, you know, educational thing. Anybody have a question? Anybody? No? Hold on, hold on. Yes. In the middle. Yes. This is not a question, but I have to get a cougarita. Is. Is a cougarita a Mexican woman that wants to fuck younger guys? It's a margarita with a cougarita. Is a margarita with a beer in it. I only drink alcohol with milk. I'll have a cougarita. Yeah. I love a Google, huh? How's Tampa, Tony? Well, I mean, I told you, his blood sugar's through the roof and he's good though. My dad, he's, you know, he's fun, he's having fun living life. He, he's happy. Lives, lives down in Tampa, Florida now and you know, kind of just living the life of a 77 year old man. He takes these swimming classes with like other, with like women in the pool. Like he just, he lives in like a 55 and over complex. So he just goes like to the swim class with these other ladies because his wife won't get in the water and he's just like swimming and then he like really turns up his diabetes. He'll like accidentally like swim into a woman's titan. Like my vision's blurred, I got the high sugar. I'm just swimming, you know, like just a real creep. I've never seen a man go into the pool with his compression socks, but my dad does it. My dad literally goes in like a Mexican essay. Just sucks. Anybody else? Yes, yes. What happened to hey babe, me and Sal, you know, we were doing the pod and then sal just has 9,000 things going on and, and so. But we maybe are going to do it again. We're maybe going to do it again, but we'll get. Yeah. Need a break in the action. Anybody else? Yes. Am I still a beautiful cover girl? You tell me, baby. Absolutely, baby. I'm in my Lululemons and my jacket from Zara. Somebody over here had something. What? Why are my shoes louder than the sun? My shoes are green. You. I don't know what that even means. Huh? No, they're not. They're green. Jesus Christ. I, I feel like you're a guy who just is barefoot a lot. That's why you're like, look at them shoes, man. Anybody else down here? Who's your favorite kid? Who's my favorite kid? First of all, your voice. I thought Satan just asked me a question that sounded like my subconscious. Who's your favorite kid? You mean out of my children? Let's see. I would probably say let's see because I got my daughters, it's tough right now, you know, because I got a nine year old daughter and a three year old daughter and everything's so divisive, you know, my nine year old's pro Israel, my three year old's pro Hamas. And the three year old is just walking around, face covered, taking hostages and she's just. My nine year old's got a yarmulka on. And no, I don't know. I honestly do love, I do love all. I love all my kids. I love my steps. I got A stepson, too. All right, anybody else? I'll do a couple, then I gotta go. My favorite college story. Damn. One time I was doing a college. Forgot where? Maryland maybe. And I. It was a dark room like this, and then out of nowhere, a pair of underwear got thrown onto the stage, right? And so at first I'm like, oh, this is awesome, right? You think, like, oh, maybe some girl just threw their underwear on, whatever. And then I go to pick them up, and it was a pair of tighty whities with a humongous shit stain right in the back. And I was like, that's a good bit. That's a good bit. And I threw it back into the crowd, and people started scattering like I dropped a bomb. Huh? Yes. Do I have a secret talent? I know every state. Capital, Olympia, what else? Actually, you know what I do? You know what I can do better than anyone you've ever met in your life? Parallel park. I can parallel park. I can parallel park. Like, I'm on the spectrum. I really can. I could just figure it out. I see, like, different colors. I really am very good at that. I can do. Yeah, I just parallel park while I'm just yelling out. State capitals, Olympia, Jefferson City, Sacramento, Albany. Just going nuts, spazzing out. Anybody else? Say it again, sir. Ff. Dave Smith, Louis Gomez, and Big J Okerson. Mary. Kill. Here's the thing, okay? So let's say I'm gonna. I. I'm. I'm probably. I will say I'm gonna marry Big J Okerson just because I know it. The cholesterol is going to kill him, so I don't need to do anything. Then I would say I'm going to fuck Luis Gomez just because I love that Latino pussy. And I would say. I would say, unfortunately, I'm going to have to kill Dave Smith because I kill Libertarians. No, no. I don't know. I honestly, I like them all, to be honest with you. I do like them all. But it seems like. Seems like you're a big Legion of Skanks fan. I could tell by your voice that you would be a big Legion of Skanks fan. And your sections up there. Oh, didn't see you there. Going over my X's and O's. You know why? Because the NBA playoffs are happening and your boy is going to use prize picks. That's right, folks, prize picks. You don't got to know the game inside and out to know about prize picks. All you do is you pick two players. Maybe Luka Doncic is going to go for more than 28 points. And Jayson Tatum is going to get more than 10 rebounds. Stuff like that. It's awesome. I love prize picks. It's simple. It's easy to use. It's like playing tic tac toe in a park after dark, baby. Technically, what we're doing is illegal because we don't have children around us and we're two grown men. But I'm doing it for prize picks. That's right, folks. Listen to me. It's one of the simpler apps that I've used. You don't have to know a thing about sports, okay? You can be a guy that knows nothing about sports, AKA gay guy, a woman, AKA gay guy. You could be anybody that you want to be on prize picks. And it's awesome. Okay. Just caught a glimpse of my hair and the triangle on this thing. The hair's not looking bad today. So I want to just get this right. I want to read this verbatim because it said legally I had to. So I'm only looking at my phone when I legally have to do the verbatim stuff now. You could even go on. Hopefully you could go on prize picks and see more or less than how many times Chris and Stefano is going to say the word like in this ad.

Run your game. What did you ask? Who's my favorite president? Favorite president. Hmm. Hmm. Favorite president. I probably would say sleeper pick. James Buchanan. He was. He was the 15th president. He was the president before Abraham Lincoln. And I liked him because he was openly gay. And it's like a fun fact. He was just an openly gay president and he had no wife and he had a senator from the South, Senator King. That literally was. They used to call him aunt Nancy. And he was just a guy. And the civil War, some people think like the civil war actually happened. Like president Lincoln inherited this problem because Buchanan was just giving his boyfriend senator King, who was from the south, just all these kind of things, like whatever. They wanted more slaves, more problems because he just was sucking his cock. So. And he's just like this sleeper pick gay president. But I like him. I like him the most. And then I like our second gay president, Obama. So I. Just kidding. Just kidding. It was a setup. I loved Obama. I really do love all of them. I'm very pro America. I know. You know? Well, it's getting more popular now to say, but I've always been that way from the beginning. I've always just been like, I don't know, dude. Some of the presidents are good, some of them are bad. I'm too stupid to know. I just know that I'm very happy to be living in America and not Ukraine. I'm just happy that you know so. I just love it here. I love everything from Brooklyn to Pullman. The only city I'm okay losing is Spokane. Because let's be honest, folks, it's already lost. I feel like if we got attacked by the Russians and they were bombing the shit out of our country, they would fly over Spokane and think they already hit it. Sergey would be like, oh, we got this one. We bombed Spokane. We must have done it last night because, oh, my God, it looked like shit. All right, anybody else? Then I gotta go. It's your birthday. Happy birthday, ma'am. Yes. Happy birthday. What's today's date? April 5th. Happy birthday. 4, 5. Oh, you probably tell everyone that and they're like, great. We hope you die. Four or five, it's different. Congratulations. Happy birthday. How old are you? 22. Oh, that's pretty. That's nice. That means you're actually 24 and. No, 22. That's a great age. It's a great ho. You have a boyfriend? Girlfriend? That's it, dude. Good for you, man. And you, are you also 22? 21. Nice. Ooh, cougars, right? Oh, Washington state. Nice, man. Well, you guys are safe. It's nice to be young. You probably have the Gardasil vaccine. You don't have to worry about hpv. Like, the parents in the room, all of us have a little thing called warts. Now, this big man over here calls him speed bumps.

I'm going to sell that thing out in the pre sale because that's what that town Loves a little fetty. All right, guys, let me go. It's 9:00. You guys got a lot of drinking and tractoring to do. Thank you so much for having me. Give it up for Tom. Feedback, everybody, for yourselves, get home safe. There's no lights on out there. Have a good night. Thank you. No, basketball was good at. No, we have a thing that's called coughing it. Okay. Means you it up at the end, you do really well. And then somehow at the end, you. You know, the other team all of a sudden gets. All of a sudden wins. Yes. So thank you. All right, well, I will leave you guys to it. All right. Dude, I'm telling you, bro, that when I was listening to the. Your opening set, because. So, first of all, we're in this venue that's supposed to be for 2,000 people. There's like 700 people out there. And then, dude, no music. The Tom goes out there. The microphone wasn't on. Oh, it's okay. So Tom's like, that this thing isn't on. Nobody cares. And then, dude, Tom, it's a college show, so, like, friends and family, these college kids, like, they don't know at all, like, what's going on. They've never been to a comedy show before. And then you right away just come out and just start doing material about fucking, like, just right away. And, like, they're all sitting with their moms and dads, so, like, they're liking it, but their moms and dads are like, no. And, dude, I was dying in the back because I was like, dude, the material that this guy's doing for family Weekend Cold is such legendary shit that I was like, any comic who was there would be like, oh, this guy Tom is awesome. He's killing it. But, dude, the friend is so funny because, like, when I went out there, I looked at the crowd, it was like, all like, you know, dads and their daughters. And Tom's just like, yeah, you gotta come in them and, you know, like, just do it. Like, bombing so hard. And I was like, man, what did you feel out there? Do you know what? I. I did the. I did my first couple jokes and then. And then I just went black and numb, Right? Yeah. I just started just talking and just going through the motions. Was that. Do you feel like one of the hardest bombs you've taken so far in your career? Hardest bombs? No, I've done. I did a show at this place in Chicago, and it was just like, all, like, rich people in, like, suits and stuff. Yeah. And I Went up there and they like. I'm like. When I say, like, fucking, like, absolutely. Like. I mean, like, not even like a. Huh. Yeah. Yeah. That was probably the worst, dude. Oh, I'll tell you, man, I was laughing in the back because it was, like, funny. So it wasn't the material. But I will say, like, the one positive thing about, like, when you bomb like that bombing in the sense of, like, you weren't getting a laughter from the crowd. You just stuck to your set and did your set. That's a sign of, like, a good comic. Like, you didn't. You didn't. You didn't cave at all. Yeah, because I remember one time the David Letterman bookers told me they want to see how people fail. How do you. If you. How comfortable can you fail? And then there was like, them. They'll book you. Yeah. So it's like you were failing, like, comfortably. Yeah. Yeah. But, dude, I was dying in the back because I was like, it's so just like, I've been there a million times. I've done it a million times. Just family weekend, just talking about. Just sex and blowing people. And it's great material, and it's just like, these kids are. Can't laugh at that in front of their parents. I was telling Tom when he said, you know, they started, like, cheering things. First time I heard you all night. And then some guy yelled like we were listening. Wow. Yeah. That makes me. I'm. You know what? I'm going to put a gun in my mouth when I get back to Spokane, dude. If you. You know what? I'll just find a homeless person. I'll just put Fentanyl right in my arm. And, dude, if you. If you did that, would you do it on. On the History hyenas? Patreon?

Tom's going to take the bus home.
Podcast Summary: Chris Distefano Presents: Chrissy Chaos
Episode: I Was Booked for a College Arena... Then Everything Got Weird
Release Date: April 22, 2025
Host: Chris Distefano
In this episode of Chrissy Chaos, Chris DiStefano shares his experiences and challenges while preparing for and performing at a college arena show at Washington State University (WSU) in Pullman, Washington. The episode delves into the dynamics of performing for a young, first-time comedy audience, interactions with fellow comedians, and personal anecdotes that highlight the unpredictable nature of live performances.
Chris begins by discussing the unique aspects of performing at a college venue filled predominantly with 18 to 20-year-old students who are new to live comedy shows. He notes the uncertainty comedians face regarding audience reactions and appropriate content.
[04:20] "College shows are interesting because you got a lot of 18, 19, 20 year old kids. They've never done, they've never heard a comedy show before, so sometimes they just look at you. They don't know if it's polite or impolite to laugh..."
To better connect with the WSU audience, Chris plans to tailor his jokes to reflect the local culture and notable figures, such as mocking the WSU Cougars and referencing basketball star Klay Thompson.
[10:15] "I think some of the jokes I want to try, definitely make it fun of WSU. They're the Cougars, so think of some bits on that. Talk about Klay Thompson, because he's the most famous person ever to come here..."
Chris and his co-host discuss fellow comedian Tom Feedback's performance, where Tom failed to engage the audience effectively, leading to a lackluster response.
[15:30] "He just absolutely bombed. Oh, yeah. That was a hot one, man. And he's hilarious. I was laughing in the back. You guys just didn't get it."
Post-performance, they critique the event's organization, expressing frustration over miscommunications regarding ticket sales and the venue's capacity.
[18:45] "Do you know what? The show was supposed to be all in the arena. But I just didn't know that I was supposed to promote it. I thought that it was just a closed circuit college show that was just for the students."
Chris shares his harsh opinions about Spokane, expressing disdain for the city and its prevalence of drug issues.
[22:10] "I just got back to beautiful Spokane, Washington. What an absolute shithole. I mean, I'm trying not. I'm not going to curse that much. It's parents family weekend here."
He contrasts Spokane with Pullman, highlighting the stark differences in audience demographics and atmosphere.
[24:35] "I've flown on three connecting flights to come here, and I just forgot to let anyone know. I never mentioned him for one second, ever."
Tom shares a humorous and bizarre story from his first day as a physical therapist, involving an exotic tortoise and a dog in distress.
[32:50] "His wife is outside the house, and she's like, did Vito send you? I'm like, yeah, my name's Chris. I just... what do you do?... I'm a physical therapist."
He continues recounting the chaotic situation, culminating in an absurd solution that inadvertently leads to more trouble.
[35:40] "I just put that stick in that turtle's butt. Within two seconds, that turtle's arms, legs, head pop out of the shell, releases the dog. The dog gets out, runs out... gets hit by a car."
During the Q&A segment, both Chris and Tom engage with the audience, delivering jokes that traverse sensitive and provocative topics, often pushing the boundaries of acceptable humor.
[45:20] "I'm gonna have to kill Dave Smith because I kill Libertarians. No, no, no. I honestly, I like them all..."
They respond to various audience questions with witty and controversial remarks, maintaining the show's edgy tone.
[50:05] "Am I still a beautiful cover girl? You tell me, baby."
[51:15] "Are you preparing for September 11th this year? Yes, I fucking am, dude. I am standing in front of the Freedom Tower..."
Chris reflects on the resilience required to continue performing despite unsuccessful shows, emphasizing the importance of sticking to one's set regardless of audience reaction.
[58:30] "The one positive thing about, like, when you bomb like that is you just stuck to your set and did your set. That's a sign of a good comic."
He shares insights on personal growth through challenging performances, highlighting the value of perseverance in the comedy career.
[59:50] "It's about one thing and one thing only, and that's getting to sell tickets to be able to perform not in Pullman, but in Spokane."
