1:07
Give it up for Preacher Lawson. Thank
1:11
you. Thank you so much.
1:13
Man, I've been such a fan for so long.
1:16
Thank you. I appreciate it. You know, people
1:18
used to ask me who my favorite comic was
1:20
and I would say you. You're lying. No, I
1:22
promise. We just started. I promise. There's no
1:24
way you think I'm your favorite. I
1:26
promise. Name a joke. Before you
1:28
were even famous. Before I was famous?
1:31
Yeah. Name a joke. The one that
1:33
you have about vegan and Trader Joe's. Oh
1:36
man, I was so fast. All right. I appreciate
1:38
it. Okay.
1:41
Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. I appreciate that. I
1:43
thought that one was so clever and I was telling
1:45
people yesterday when you were coming on my show, I
1:47
was like, what I like about you is that you're
1:49
so commercial. I think that being
1:51
a super funny comic
1:53
and also being commercial is
1:56
just damn near impossible to do because
1:58
there's so much low. hanging fruit, that
2:00
people just, you know, you can curse a
2:02
bunch on stage, you can do a bunch
2:04
of sexual jokes, but you somehow like
2:07
keep it clean and do amazing comedy. And I
2:09
think that's such a rare talent. I appreciate that.
2:11
I just, yeah, I appreciate that a lot, you
2:13
know? I mean, I think it's just, you know,
2:16
I try to be, I want everyone to laugh.
2:18
I'm not, I don't want to be offensive. I
2:20
just don't. My favorite comedians are offensive. Are
2:23
they? Yeah, yeah, like Anthony Jesnek's one
2:26
of my favorite comedians. And he's not
2:28
clean. He's not. He's not,
2:30
but I love his comedy. Yeah, he's
2:32
great. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so. Well, I'm
2:35
excited to have you on my show. Thank you so much. Well,
2:38
I've got some appetizers. This is my
2:40
menu. Okay. So I have appetizer
2:42
questions. I have main
2:44
course questions. I have a
2:46
dessert question for you. All right. We're
2:49
on a date. All right, I'm ready.
2:51
This is how, this is, this is
2:53
how we do it. Except
2:57
this is never how dates go. If
3:01
I went on the date and some girl put out
3:03
a menu size of binder
3:05
questions, I would be, I would leave like immediately.
3:07
I'd be like, is it too much? Yeah. Too
3:09
much lies for me to remember. No, I'm joking.
3:12
This is my checklist. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
3:14
Here, you know. How do you feel about
3:16
people when you go on dates and then they tell you
3:18
everything up front? Isn't that bad? I
3:21
mean, I think you need to leave a little bit
3:23
of mystery there. Yeah. You know, I
3:26
don't want to know everything about you really up
3:28
front. Like I want to get to know you.
3:30
Yeah. Through the course of
3:32
time. Yeah. I think
3:34
some people are impatient, you know? Yeah. Well,
3:37
today I'm gonna be very impatient. Okay,
3:39
let's do it. We're gonna start off
3:41
with some appetizer questions. So you're vegan,
3:44
right? I'm vegan, plant-based baby. Is it
3:46
hard to date when you're vegan? No,
3:48
it's not. Have you ever gone on
3:50
a date with someone and then they just order like a plate
3:52
of meat? Yeah, happens all the
3:54
time. Most people aren't vegan, so yeah. And it doesn't
3:56
bother you at all? No, it doesn't bother me. I'm
3:58
never gonna date them, but. I mean, it's fine if
4:01
they want to do that. I'm
4:03
not doing it. But if they
4:05
want to order a, first of all, who orders a
4:07
plate of meat? What do they even look like? I
4:10
mean, that's like a Korean barbecue at that point,
4:12
which is my fault for not knowing that we're
4:15
going. But yeah, I don't know if
4:17
anyone, let me get the plate of meat. I think
4:19
it's come back now. Like a rack of ribs? Yeah,
4:22
yeah, yeah. So I mean, yeah, it's happened
4:24
before, but I'm pretty upfront. Yeah.
4:26
You know, I'm pretty upfront. And I'm like a
4:29
level seven vegan. Yeah, what's a
4:31
level 10? I
4:33
think a level, you know, I
4:35
just, you know, like there's level 10s in anything.
4:37
Like just the max that looks extreme. Yeah,
4:39
like if someone's like, I don't know,
4:41
like a Democrat or a Republican or like an atheist
4:44
or a Christian or something, you know, there's a level
4:46
10. Yeah. And I feel like
4:48
a level 10 vegan is, it's
4:51
not me. They're
4:54
like people that don't ride, they don't
4:56
go on planes. Oh my gosh. They
4:58
don't like, they're not friends with any
5:00
non vegan people or something, I guess.
5:02
And I don't know, they're
5:04
just like really, everything is like they made from
5:06
scratch or something. Or everything, I don't know. Yeah.
5:09
I don't know what a level 10 is. That's not, we're not an extremist. Yeah,
5:12
I'm not, I'm just, yeah. Yeah.
5:14
Do you have a type? I like
5:16
when they're alive. Also, if they
5:18
like me back, that's all I care about
5:21
pretty much. Two massive like
5:23
attributes. Yeah, yeah, if you like
5:25
me back, that's great. Where do you
5:27
meet people? I don't. What
5:29
do you mean? I don't meet anybody. How do
5:32
you not meet anybody? I guess on
5:34
the internet, I mean, where am I gonna meet someone?
5:36
I'm always on the road. Always. Always on the road.
5:38
I know. Always on the road. I just got back
5:40
from being on the road for like three weeks and
5:44
I was back for like a few days and I'm here. That's
5:47
crazy. I mean, yeah, I see your flyers and
5:49
I see all of your tour dates and then
5:51
I noticed that you're also in the photo. Yeah.
5:54
Yeah. All of your tour dates are covering
5:56
you up and I'm like, oh,
5:58
if you kind of look between Michigan and Alaska, Alaska you
6:00
can see his eyeballs. Yeah. Yeah,
6:03
that's crazy. So do you ever invite girls
6:05
to your show? No, I
6:07
don't I don't invite girls to my show I
6:11
Don't know man. My my comedy audience isn't
6:13
like I mean there's women there, but for
6:15
the most part they're families. Oh Yeah,
6:20
yeah, I don't have I was so
6:22
wild for me to think about family-friendly comedy
6:24
I'm I mean family. Well,
6:26
I mean like everyone's married. Yeah, everyone's
6:29
married There's there's some single people out
6:31
there and I don't want them but
6:33
there's I there most people
6:35
I'm just saying the ones that I'm
6:37
not trying to disrespect anyone that comes to my show
6:40
There's a lot of great people that come to my show. I'm
6:42
back. My crowd is very diverse. Yeah, it
6:44
is It is do you
6:46
want to date anybody? No, so
6:49
that's a personal choice Then you really
6:51

6:53

6:55

7:16
