Martin and I start the video by smoking crystal meth on the mic, an ode to our lord and savior Elon Musk. 

We start out talking about my lack of ability to be a competent employee, and how Martin enjoyed his time working at the Target Cafe (You know, that spot in Target that sells Popcorn and personal pizzas). Martin pitches me a spin-off podcast about poop after hearing about my ongoing war with IBS.

Martin stops me from doing a Bill Cosby impression before we get into the kind of friends we each had growing up, and how that shapes who we are today.

We touch upon the pressures and stress that comes with living the life we chose. The late nights, the weird hours, the people, and how we work our lives around those circumstances 

Martin's story involves him getting into a situation where he told a joke that hurt someone’s feelings when he first started out, followed by (a real gift!) a SECOND story where he went for another shock value joke that ended up not only costing him a show but also hurting his reputation and it cost him to be a little scared of performing for a while

This brings us to talk about the risk that it accompanies trying out new material and attempting to approach the line, but not cross it

Overall, we have a really good discussion on what it means to be the man with the microphone in the room.
