I do travel the entire US.
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:48.143
So I have a question.
00:00:48.143 --> 00:00:51.292
When you are performing a set, have you ever had a joke?
00:00:51.292 --> 00:00:56.332
Just fall completely flat to where everyone's quiet, it's crickets and you're standing there cringing.
00:00:56.332 --> 00:00:57.139
Has that ever happened?
00:00:57.158 --> 00:00:57.280
to you.
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.343
Oh yeah, no, that happens all the time.
00:00:58.543 --> 00:00:58.905
All the time.
00:00:59.606 --> 00:01:02.301
Every set, every set, it's normally just crickets.
00:01:02.301 --> 00:01:03.101
Every set, it's normally just crickets.
00:01:03.101 --> 00:01:04.563
It's just silence for most of my shows yeah.
00:01:04.823 --> 00:01:06.204
So how did you get into stand-up comedy?
00:01:06.204 --> 00:01:08.186
Just naturally so funny.
00:01:08.206 --> 00:01:09.789
Just dumb luck really.
00:01:09.789 --> 00:01:10.349
I was.
00:01:10.349 --> 00:01:13.772
Before I became a stand-up comedian.
00:01:13.772 --> 00:01:21.792
I was the regional director for Morgan Stanley, making millions of dollars, and then I decided to throw that away.
00:01:21.792 --> 00:01:32.870
Actually, the market crashed and I just happened to be at this little bar that was having a a comedy contest and I was with my one of my best friends and I mentioned to him that the guy sucked and he heard me.
00:01:34.501 --> 00:01:35.605
The guy on the stage heard you.
00:01:35.605 --> 00:01:36.965
The guy doing the set heard you.
00:01:36.965 --> 00:01:38.108
Oh, which I.
00:01:38.641 --> 00:01:49.713
I thought I was being quiet, but and he's like well, if you think you can do better, and he's like well, if you think you can do better once you get up here, I was like okay, and so then I got up and ended up winning the contest, I was like oh hey, this isn't that bad.
00:01:52.420 --> 00:01:54.230
And then the market crashed and so I was like, well, what am I going to do now?
00:01:54.230 --> 00:01:58.543
Do you usually like, are your sets usually like real-life stories, like, do funny things just happen to you in real life?
00:01:59.362 --> 00:02:01.686
Funny or horrific things happen to me in my life.
00:02:01.686 --> 00:02:07.951
Yes, most of my stuff is all stories of me in my real life.
00:02:08.051 --> 00:02:09.413
I don't he's super funny.
00:02:09.413 --> 00:02:11.975
I was his number one fan for a while, showing up at every single show.
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:14.467
I'm watching you Like the groupie.
00:02:14.467 --> 00:02:16.728
Are there comedy groupies?
00:02:18.264 --> 00:02:18.667
You know what?
00:02:18.667 --> 00:02:20.263
What is the?
00:02:20.263 --> 00:02:24.473
We do have groupies and they're called chuckle somethings.
00:02:26.164 --> 00:02:27.849
Oh, kind of like a buckle, bunny chuckle.
00:02:28.641 --> 00:02:30.367
Like a chuckle fuckers, but are we allowed to cuss on this?
00:02:30.448 --> 00:02:31.211
one, absolutely.
00:02:31.921 --> 00:02:32.806
No, we have chuckle fuckers.
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:34.447
Chuckle fuckers okay.
00:02:34.447 --> 00:02:37.068
So have you ever banged a chuckle fucker?
00:02:39.883 --> 00:02:40.506
Mom close yours.
00:02:41.961 --> 00:02:48.766
I have okay, so maybe yeah, I guess, I suppose how many Can you count on two hands?
00:02:49.979 --> 00:02:51.645
I mean, I can count on two hands.
00:02:51.645 --> 00:02:56.419
Yeah, I think that Is it like do you have like a trailer?
00:02:56.942 --> 00:02:58.507
Do you take them back to your dressing room?
00:02:58.507 --> 00:02:59.088
Is it like?
00:03:00.543 --> 00:03:02.509
So no, I mean technically, I guess it would be the green room.
00:03:02.819 --> 00:03:04.062
Like you have a green room behind stage.
00:03:04.062 --> 00:03:04.582
Okay.
00:03:04.902 --> 00:03:10.091
However, it's not like being a rock star, Like comedy is.
00:03:10.091 --> 00:03:12.935
First of all, most of us are ugly, that's just a thing.
00:03:12.935 --> 00:03:24.233
And then there's no really hot comics out there or leading men comics, because we all have to have, like, a dark past or be made fun of our entire lives to like bring it out.
00:03:24.233 --> 00:03:30.072
Um, and the other thing too is with like comedy shows is it is typically like a couples.
00:03:31.341 --> 00:03:32.163
It's like a date night.
00:03:32.163 --> 00:03:32.525
It is.
00:03:32.525 --> 00:03:32.986
It's a lot.
00:03:32.986 --> 00:03:35.925
It's like a day there's no bachelor at parties.
00:03:35.965 --> 00:03:40.243
Going to the comedy club, yeah, and if it is, it's not the bachelor party.
00:03:40.243 --> 00:03:41.227
You want to be there.
00:03:41.788 --> 00:03:42.411
Well, that one.
00:03:42.411 --> 00:03:46.181
There's that one comic now.
00:03:46.181 --> 00:03:46.582
Is it matt rife?
00:03:46.582 --> 00:03:52.402
Yeah, that he talks about sex a lot and I feel like he gets like audience involvement and so like I feel like he's sort of.
00:03:52.402 --> 00:04:00.346
Now it is like, and more single women, I think, are going to his shows like matt's, like one of the first, like really hot comics.
00:04:00.385 --> 00:04:01.688
That's the only problem.
00:04:01.688 --> 00:04:02.349
Like it was.
00:04:03.032 --> 00:04:23.721
I think I guess dane cook was doing okay, although he's not, I mean anyway, uh like, but there's not a lot of like super good looking leading men type yeah except for matt, right matt matt's, so I used to live in old town, scottsdale, right by the comedy spot, which you used to perform at the comedy spot all the time do you remember jose, a comedian called jose.
00:04:24.163 --> 00:04:27.132
He was like a Puerto Rican, I think, super, super good looking.
00:04:27.132 --> 00:04:39.505
Anyways, I used to go there all the time because I was walking distance and I love to laugh and I stayed at the end to say hi to him and thank him for such a great show, and he ended up texting me and flew me out to see a bunch of his shows.
00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:41.682
You were a chuckle fucker.
00:04:41.682 --> 00:04:42.665
You were a chuckle fucker.
00:04:42.665 --> 00:04:43.786
You are a chuckle fucker.
00:04:43.807 --> 00:04:51.906
Cringe, but yeah, so he was like one good looking comedian that I've.
00:04:51.906 --> 00:04:53.329
Well, two, you two.
00:04:53.410 --> 00:04:54.471
Oh, thank you, Thank you.
00:04:55.899 --> 00:04:57.444
I only know two, Matt Broom and Jose.
00:04:57.504 --> 00:04:59.009
I've got a good personality.
00:04:59.009 --> 00:05:00.072
I'm just a fat girl.
00:05:00.072 --> 00:05:15.990
So you have been in a couple polyamorous marriages I want to talk about that like I want to know all the details because that's the trend yes, we're jumping right into it because that's the trend now no foreplay, no nothing
00:05:16.009 --> 00:05:17.553
the foreplay is overrated.
00:05:18.156 --> 00:05:20.903
So that is the trend now is polyamorous relationships.
00:05:20.903 --> 00:05:25.000
People are inviting, you know, people into their marriages or their relationships.
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:25.380
Trouble.
00:05:25.380 --> 00:05:26.903
So I want to hear about your stories.
00:05:26.903 --> 00:05:35.908
Okay, so the first, okay, the first time you had a polyamorous relationship was it with your ex-wife it was with.
00:05:35.949 --> 00:05:45.273
Well, yeah, I mean, I've been in in a gambit of relationships like I, I did the swing scene for a little bit.
00:05:45.273 --> 00:05:46.500
I've done, like you know it.
00:05:46.500 --> 00:06:06.574
It just because it's it's very difficult with my line of work, like being on the road and doing things like you have to have kind of an open relationship for it to work sometimes, um and uh, my first polyamorous relationship, um was, yeah, I, I we were married, but it was, it was definitely a marriage of.
00:06:06.574 --> 00:06:11.007
She was just my best friend at the time and it it's, it just worked.
00:06:11.007 --> 00:06:16.446
And, um, she was like I, at this time I was doing a lot of shows in Vegas.
00:06:16.446 --> 00:06:19.521
Uh, this is when I had my residency in Vegas and so I was there a lot.
00:06:19.581 --> 00:06:26.894
And uh, she's like look, matt, I know that you're, you know, because of your job, you don't want to like be settled down and all this other stuff.
00:06:26.894 --> 00:06:29.990
And she was pretty well-to-do as well.
00:06:29.990 --> 00:06:38.392
Her ex was like a billionaire, and so she's like well, all I want is, you know, for us to get married, because I love spending time with you.
00:06:38.392 --> 00:06:40.988
I just want you to, you know, come home to me, blah, blah, blah.
00:06:40.988 --> 00:06:46.324
You don't have to work every anymore.
00:06:46.324 --> 00:06:47.408
If you don't want to like, I'll take care of you.
00:06:47.408 --> 00:06:50.420
The only thing I ask is if I could bring home a woman every once in a while.
00:06:50.420 --> 00:06:53.206
I was like, okay, um where do I sign up?
00:06:53.286 --> 00:07:06.262
am I being punked right now like what is happening, like there's got to be a catch to this uh and no, that's what, that's what she wanted, and so, uh, I think, I think, if it wasn't her idea, like it would never happen, like I feel like.
00:07:06.322 --> 00:07:21.053
it's much easier when it's the females like, want and desire to add someone and she just wanted a third every once in a while, or did she want a third to be like another part of your relationship?
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:40.903
So initially it was just like you know, know, every once in a while like I want to spruce things up and then, and then it kind of transformed into uh, you know, I like spending time with this person, like, like, let's move her in, and so how do you meet these other women that you would move in?
00:07:41.624 --> 00:07:43.427
other websites, or was it just one?
00:07:43.427 --> 00:07:44.329
Or was it just one?
00:07:44.329 --> 00:07:45.392
Was it just the one?
00:07:45.913 --> 00:07:47.000
uh, it was just the one.
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.711
So, like originally, when, when we first met, it was like it was open, it wasn't really.
00:07:50.711 --> 00:08:06.853
We just had an open marriage and and for like the first two years we didn't do anything, like I, I didn't even even cross my mind, which was kind of nice too, because, like, when you have that, that openness, there's no risk of the temptations gone, I guess.
00:08:06.853 --> 00:08:10.899
There's no thrill of doing something.
00:08:11.942 --> 00:08:13.228
You're not hiding anything.
00:08:13.228 --> 00:08:13.970
No excitement.
00:08:15.802 --> 00:08:25.528
The first two years we were still just very plain vanilla and just going through life Monogamous in the first two years of the relationship.
00:08:25.528 --> 00:08:31.670
And then we decided to spice it up a little bit and I met the person through comedy.
00:08:31.670 --> 00:08:41.528
Actually, I was working at a club and someone that worked at the club started talking to me and we were discussing.
00:08:41.528 --> 00:08:44.028
She put a kid up for adoption and I'm adopted.
00:08:44.028 --> 00:08:47.405
So we just found some like common ground to, to bond on.
00:08:47.426 --> 00:08:48.086
And then we started.
00:08:48.086 --> 00:08:54.229
I took her out a couple of times and and then, and she knew that I was married and, um, I do.
00:08:54.229 --> 00:08:54.910
You know we don't.
00:08:54.910 --> 00:08:57.962
I didn't keep it a secret by any stretch of the imagination.
00:08:57.962 --> 00:09:11.149
And then we went out a couple of times and then I was like, hey, would you be willing to, you know, come and go on a like I don't want to say a double date, because it's not a double date, a triple date, a triple date A triangle.
00:09:12.660 --> 00:09:14.086
You call it a triangle date.
00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:30.364
And yeah, we did, and everybody got along and it was all right long and it was all right um.
00:09:30.364 --> 00:09:35.153
However, the the the problem with that was was the girl that that I brought into what ended up being a throuple.
00:09:35.173 --> 00:09:45.894
Um, she wasn't bisexual she wasn't interesting, so she didn't do anything with your wife no, she did eventually, but like it wasn, but like it wasn't her thing.
00:09:46.100 --> 00:09:47.567
Like she just wanted to spend.
00:09:47.700 --> 00:09:48.883
But your wife was into it.
00:09:48.883 --> 00:09:50.947
She was bisexual, that was her.
00:09:51.168 --> 00:09:56.606
That was her thing, you know her thing, and so that was difficult in itself.
00:09:56.606 --> 00:10:00.453
Is is trying to I don't want to say coax or or.
00:10:01.801 --> 00:10:15.650
I mean you're, you're starting a relationship with two people Like dating's hard alone, just with one person and so then, when you're dealing with two people and then you know, as time goes by, there's jealousy of like well, is she doing this better, Is he doing this better?
00:10:15.650 --> 00:10:17.587
Is you know, are you spending more time with this person?
00:10:17.587 --> 00:10:21.307
Are you spending more time with this person, Then you're juggling even more.
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.668
And, as a man, to have to deal with two women at that time of the month when their cycles are kind of on par.
00:10:28.687 --> 00:10:40.706
You guys should hang out more often Sync this thing up please, let's get this on track, as much as it sounds amazing, because I know every single comic that I knew was like Matt.
00:10:40.706 --> 00:10:42.033
How are you doing this?
00:10:42.033 --> 00:10:47.370
This is fantastic that they're both going out with you and they're you know, you guys share the same bed.
00:10:47.370 --> 00:10:48.214
You guys share all this.
00:10:48.254 --> 00:10:49.360
I was just going to ask that Me too.
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.249
Did you all three share the same bedroom, or were there?
00:10:52.249 --> 00:10:57.663
Did they each have their own bedrooms and there was like one for the couple, like what was the?
00:10:57.663 --> 00:10:57.904
What's the?
00:10:57.945 --> 00:10:58.869
bedroom situation.
00:10:58.869 --> 00:11:04.125
We had a the bed.
00:11:04.125 --> 00:11:05.749
I feel like it was bigger than a California King.
00:11:06.288 --> 00:11:06.690
I really do.
00:11:06.690 --> 00:11:07.490
It was a custom.
00:11:07.490 --> 00:11:08.652
It was a massive bed.
00:11:08.652 --> 00:11:13.746
Were you Big Spoon, who was in the middle it was like a reverse Oreo is what it was.
00:11:14.701 --> 00:11:16.466
It was just me in the middle.
00:11:16.645 --> 00:11:17.489
That's funny.
00:11:17.950 --> 00:11:19.052
That's really funny.
00:11:19.659 --> 00:11:23.485
But I sleep weird too, like I don't move, I just sleep on my side and I don't go anywhere.
00:11:23.485 --> 00:11:28.852
So it wasn't even it's not like people were stretching out and trying to kick me off the bed when you were intimate.
00:11:28.893 --> 00:11:37.003
Was it all three of you all the time at the same time, or did you and your wife do it separately from?
00:11:37.023 --> 00:11:37.724
did you kind of switch it up Again?
00:11:37.724 --> 00:11:41.548
You know, when people think of like polyamory and throuples and things like that, I think people have this idea of like some porn scene.
00:11:41.548 --> 00:11:42.630
It's just crazy wild sex every night.
00:11:42.630 --> 00:11:44.393
Yeah, it's just crazy wild sex every night.
00:11:44.393 --> 00:11:45.934
Yeah, it's just crazy wild sex every night.
00:11:45.934 --> 00:11:46.836
Yeah, it's just crazy wild sex every night.
00:11:46.855 --> 00:11:47.256
Yeah, it's just crazy.
00:11:47.256 --> 00:11:48.739
Wild sex every night, yeah it's just crazy wild sex every night.
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:49.580
Yeah, it's just crazy wild sex every night.
00:11:49.580 --> 00:11:59.889
Yeah, it's just crazy wild sex every night.
00:11:59.889 --> 00:12:01.711
You've got like one on the chandelier.
00:12:01.711 --> 00:12:05.216
You've got the other one tied up like hog tied to the bedpost.
00:12:05.216 --> 00:12:06.116
Who's going to be my good girl?
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:07.485
Who's going to be my good girl?
00:12:07.485 --> 00:12:09.346
You're my good girl, or am I good girl?
00:12:09.346 --> 00:12:13.702
I feel like that's how everybody thinks of it, and it really is.
00:12:13.702 --> 00:12:20.224
It was more of like a I don't want to say commune, but we were all working together at the same thing.
00:12:20.224 --> 00:12:23.669
And the other thing too is is both females in this situation?
00:12:23.669 --> 00:12:28.221
Uh, had kids, so again it's again.
00:12:28.221 --> 00:12:30.092
When you have one relationship it's hard dealing with.
00:12:30.232 --> 00:12:31.419
Just you know what are the kids?
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:31.821
asleep.
00:12:31.821 --> 00:12:45.532
One of the kids are not doing this and and you don't want to, or I didn't want to like flaunt it in front of them, so we weren't like going around, you know, the house all day naked and slapping asses.
00:12:45.532 --> 00:12:47.774
There was children present.
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.769
So when you moved this other woman in, did the kids move in as well with?
00:12:52.809 --> 00:12:53.431
her.
00:12:54.013 --> 00:13:15.774
No, at that point I don't know if we're using names or not, but we'll do, jane and I don't know Jane and Joe, jane and Joe, jane and Joe, using names or not, but we'll do uh, jane, and I don't know jane and joe no, she, uh, the doe, the second one that we were moving in um.
00:13:15.914 --> 00:13:21.485
No, she didn't have her kids at the time, so it was, it was so did jane ever get jealous?
00:13:21.485 --> 00:13:29.441
Um, kind of, but not I don't know she.
00:13:29.441 --> 00:13:33.004
Well, yes, she definitely got jealous, and the other one got.
00:13:33.004 --> 00:13:37.356
Everybody got jealous at one point in time, Except for me, I was never jealous of anything.
00:13:38.644 --> 00:13:39.448
Just live in the dream.
00:13:39.448 --> 00:13:40.785
Just live in the dream.
00:13:40.785 --> 00:13:43.870
King Matt stirring the pot, Did you get carpal tunnel?
00:13:43.870 --> 00:13:45.297
He's over there like stirring up the drama?
00:13:45.255 --> 00:13:45.533
No, you guys find it out.
00:13:45.533 --> 00:13:46.187
Stirring the pot, did you get carpal tunnel?
00:13:46.187 --> 00:13:46.326
He's over there.
00:13:46.326 --> 00:13:46.660
Like stirring up the drama, yeah, yeah.
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:52.269
So did you have a preference, like, did you start to feel more for Doe than you did for Jane?
00:13:52.269 --> 00:13:55.610
Did you start to, like, do things privately with Doe?
00:13:56.820 --> 00:14:00.802
So yes, so well.
00:14:01.442 --> 00:14:17.807
so, jane, she was having some medical issues, not like sexual transmitted or anything that I was talking about From all the crazy sex you've been having, from all the crazy sex we're having Like just regular health issues, you know.
00:14:19.423 --> 00:14:22.410
It wasn't anything that you'd find on Van Buren over here.
00:14:23.823 --> 00:14:25.576
No, she had like like an auto mute.
00:14:25.576 --> 00:14:28.164
Not auto mute, that is this, that might be aids.
00:14:28.164 --> 00:14:29.909
Um, no, she had something.
00:14:29.909 --> 00:14:35.451
She had something that I could even pronounce like some medical thing that I still don't know how to say.
00:14:35.451 --> 00:14:37.861
I'm not insensitive, I just can't say it.
00:14:37.861 --> 00:14:46.419
Um, but so she just became like more of a homebody and didn't want to go out anywhere.
00:14:46.419 --> 00:15:01.466
So she just like never left the bed at one point, and so Doe was like well, I want to go out, and I always had to go out just because I had you know shows and red carpets and networking events that I had to be at, and were you still in Vegas at this time?
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.538
Well, at this time I was going back and forth.
00:15:05.698 --> 00:15:06.019
Okay so.
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.250
I was in Vegas and then we had a place in the Biltmore area.
00:15:09.490 --> 00:15:15.928
Okay so, you're living in two like very fun cities, basically Correct, like you're like in big going-out cities.
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:27.966
So it's hard, yeah, to be with someone who's basically on bed rest, and at this point I was like my career was ramping up, like I just won like the next Vegas Headliner competition in Vegas and I was doing other things.
00:15:27.966 --> 00:15:56.613
And I will say it did kind of detract from my career because then I started dealing with the double relationship, because it is again, it could be double the fun, but it is also double the stress, the stress and problems and everything else, and so especially when the those two, you know, would only get along on occasion, because again one was there for for me and the other one was- so how did it end ultimately?
00:15:57.455 --> 00:16:03.086
so ultimately, uh, I broke up with jane, my, the wife, the main one, and and left with the left to fordell fordell.
00:16:03.086 --> 00:16:05.328
How did jane, my, the wife, the main one, and and left with the?
00:16:05.529 --> 00:16:07.753
left to fordo fordo.
00:16:07.753 --> 00:16:08.955
How did jane take that?
00:16:10.322 --> 00:16:12.488
uh, not well was it like?
00:16:12.567 --> 00:16:13.710
was it like a coup like?
00:16:13.710 --> 00:16:21.994
Was it planned, like you and do sort of like planned this separation, or was it a decision that you made more for yourself?
00:16:22.822 --> 00:16:24.647
no, it was more for myself, like breaking.
00:16:24.647 --> 00:16:32.899
Breaking that is also a different thing is because breaking it turned into a completely separate situation.
