[laughs]

... and, uh, yeah, it was like that every morning.

There was a lot of like, um, you know, Lucky Charms, right? If it's a Lucky Charms morning, it's not like everyone's gonna get those Lucky Charms.

What, what was it about comedy that made you take that leap where you're finally like, "Man, I'm just gonna put a set together and see where it goes"? Like, what was it about comedy that pulled you so hard?

hard?Honestly, I was, uh, just put—I was doing stand-up, and then there was a bit that was kinda doing well, better than all the other bits.

Uh, and so I made a video of it, and that took off, and then I got a fan base.

And, um, and then someone asked me if I wanted to do a live show, and I, I was like, "Oh, shoot.

Yes." And then I was like, "Now I gotta write a live show," you know?

That's not true.

It's...

If it's repeated enough by – we get to decide our future.

That's what I'm saying.

So in terms of artificial intelligence, I think if that is coming out of the words of people with a financial stake, I'm skeptical of it.

I'm not saying it's not true.

I'm not an expert.

In Wisconsin, should we not have a complete moratorium, you can put as many years as you want, on any new construction, in your opinion? In

That's not true.

I was, I was just taking photos of Jared all day.

Yeah.

We all were.

I have a whole bunch of photos of Jared from that weekend.

Yeah, remind me what this segment is here, Jared.

So Noah's gonna s- tell each one of us how we could be more Gen Z.

[laughs]

You tell, tell the family, "We're going on a cruise." "Where are we going?" "We're going to Michigan." And if you pack the cooler, you can tailgate within the ferry, so I mean, it's kinda like you're on a Carnival Cruise.

Um, what's new in your life? Uh, what are you doing, what are you do in your spare time? You, I s- I see there's a guitar hanging behind you, it looks like, on the wall.

Yeah, yeah, and I do a little playing of, uh, the guitar.

I mean, not well.

Okay, it's a way cooler guitar than I, I am of a player.

But, um, no, yesterday, we were actually, um, we were out doing, uh, a little work, and then, uh, we were doing a, a house build actually.

There's this Habitat for Humanity.

So the fact that you're leaving them out this time actually just makes me more excited to see your show when you come through Regina.

Yeah.

No, we do a lot of that.

I do a lot of markets like that that people don't often play.

And it's a shame that they don't get played more because people love coming out, you know.

I mean, I guess we'll see, you know, but that's that's the hypothesis.

And it happens a lot in Wisconsin or in like the Midwest.

What can people expect from your live show, from your stand-up?

I, I heard that

... you don't listen.

That's not what I said.

Where's the new screen job? On the door?

Where?

Oh, okay.

Oh, okay.

It's open, Miles.

Do you have any response to that?

I mean, I'm all for, I'm all for the tradesman.

I, I grew up working at a very young age.

I'm all, I'm all for it, and, and I want them to have as many jobs as possible.

You can't do that at the expense of somebody who's now living right next to the data center, um, Amanda, who spoke in, um...

She's, she's from Port Washington, and she can't get a good night's sleep.

Uh, she's got dust all over her home.

What is an effective form of protest when it comes to this kind of advocacy?

No, you know-

No, I think it, but it, uh, really, uh, when you start a new job, you wanna prove yourself, you wanna prove yourself, so you're anxious to prove yourself and you're not listening, you know? You're just like, you're looking for things you can do while someone's telling you what would actually be helpful if you did, you know?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

It's always like any time you're, you're working a job and, uh, there is a new guy that comes along, you, you just, you don't have time for new friends.

You're not, you're automatically not gonna be sure about this guy, you know? But then just by, by starfishing 'em, you know, you figure it out.

And what kind of shit are you doing on Cedar Rapids?

Well, I'm, I'm, uh, getting coffees.

I'm, uh, sitting there, uh, [laughs] like echoing the, "Rolling.

Uh, cut." You know, that's what PAs do a lot.

And there was this one time, uh, it was a late-night shoot.

Everyone was tired.

It was John C. Reilly's first night on set, and, uh, my, my AD was like, "All right, guys.

So visually, "Hey, that one guy that does the news all the time is not here today."

Mm.

And she's coming back, going back in time to rescue her sister, and she knows the only way that this guy will ever let go is if she just steps in and takes one for the team, makes out with him.

And then because this guy is going to be on the wrong path, too.

You know, he's gonna be, uh, regretting getting married.

He's always gonna have the fact that her, her sister rejected him, so he's gonna start doing nose drugs and going out to Vegas every weekend, gambling a lot.

Terrible for their kids.

Starts telling her, "No, you can't go to Italy to look at these pictures." And, uh, before he knows it, you know, he's, um, a, a politician going to jail for insider trading because for once, our laws actually worked.

The toxic masculinity?

I should go to the lodge

I remember this one time I was with my uncle.

We were actually coming out to LA for...

I was driving out cross-country, first time I came out here, and we stopped in Vail.

And, uh, I had gone skiing, like three times in my life at this point.

I'm going to Vail, and I've done the black diamonds at this point in Wisconsin, which as you said, you can walk down their black diamonds.

[laughs]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, big time

(laughs)

Yeah.

It, it, when I was a kid, it doubled for a lot of things.

Like, I, I cut my head open 'cause I ran into this beer bottle my brother threw at me and my dad, he stitched me up right on the kitchen table there.

Yeah.

And she would go, "God bless Mom, Dad, Andy, Charlie, Billy, Betsy, Maggie, Addie, Mary Kate, and..."And when my mom did that and with the pregnant pause, you know-

What are you proud of, or what do you like? How, how would you sell that to our audience as something they need to be watching?

Uh, well, it's a lot better than my driving.

It is.

And, uh, Neighborly, it's all about the, uh, we talk about, you know, being from a big family.

I go gambling with my grandma.

We got stories about that.

And, uh, you know, uh, it's about life through a Midwest guy's perspective.

(laughs)
