Tales From The Tarheel State

I talk about stand-up and being a middle age white guy. Everybody seems to think I look like a cop or something when I go out to do stand-up. People sure do judge books by the cover these days.

This episode finishes up with me trying to do four minutes of comedy. There is a cat talking through my set that you can hear. I didn't address him directly because our host Ebony had already done so a couple times. He did it the whole night, I think he may have been mentally impaired by more than beer. If you just want to hear the train wreck it starts at around the 25 minute mark.

This episode has my sixth open mic set on it. I try much more risky material this time. I got few laughs but not as many as I would have liked. That's the way she blows.

I was gonna play part of one of the tracks on here but I didn't want to get in trouble. He is a guitar player and a very inspirational young man.

Went to the Idiot Box in Greensboro North Carolina and did my first ever stand up. I recorded it and the one I did two days later at The Durty Bull in Durham N.C. The first one is here for your listening pleasure. It's toward the end for those who only care about that.

Conor McGregor decided to help me out with a Proper Number 12 Ad for this episode. Who would have thought it!

Just saying hello before Christmas gets here!

Sorry I been gone for a while, had to get all that politics out of my system. Let's party like it's 1999, well, for a fifty year old!

I been gone for a bit, hope y'all still with me.

I started a new podcast where I try to be serious called Politics - Southern Style.

Trump got indicted, Hunter Biden is guilty, and I am trying to be serious.

Utah banned the Bible in Schools, what the hell took so long! The Republicans get some backlash from all the book banning. I thinks it's hilarious, don't you?

Happy Memorial Day everybody! It's been raining all weekend here but we still went on a roadtrip to the Dark Sky Observatory in Virginia! Remember we already live on a rock that is mostly uninhabitable, no need to go to Mars. ➙ Questions or Comments:    ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠changeisgood333@yahoo.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➙ BigChris Cooks:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSnZjmchAq4r5EreS6nAcMw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➙ TFTTHS:  ...
