In this episode Michael and I talk about:

  • What we do between tricks is the most important thing
  • The variety vaudeville community
  • Growing up in a small town
  • Being pressured by the local Amway guy
  • Being a TV warm up guy
  • Learning to spin a cheeseburger on an umbrella
  • People thinking what you do is easy
  • Using TV appearances to your advantage
  • Performing at library shows
  • Balancing shoes on his face
  • Binge watching Breaking Bad
  • Having cherry tomatoes thrown at you
  • If their golfing before the show… its gonna be rough
  • Always give the host and intro
  • Making sure you are there for your kids
