Miss something on one of our episodes of the #naplescaptainslog? Don’t worry we got you covered! Here you will find a full transcript from this episode of the #naplescaptainslog!
Captain Brien: Hey guys, we’re back on the Captain’s Log with Kristina Montuori.
Kristina Montouri: Hey.
Captain Brien: How are you, comedian extraordinaire?
Kristina Montouri I’m great, I’m really excited to actually be meeting you in person. I feel like I already know you from all of the Captain’s Logs I watch.
Captain Brien: Have you been watching?
Kristina Montouri Yeah.
Captain Brien: Oh come on, I’ve gotta give you a test then.
Kristina Montouri: You’re so entertaining.
Captain Brien: What’s your favorite?
Kristina Montouri: Oh, I haven’t watched all of them, you know what I mean? Oh man, oh gosh, what’s his name?
Captain Brien: You should put your seat belt on do you have it on?
Kristina Montouri: It’s on. It’s, on, it’s on.
Captain Brien: Oh okay, don’t scare me.
Kristina Montouri: I’m livin’ on the edge with it behind me but I’ll put it right here.
Captain Brien: Everyone will complain, they’ll start messaging us.
Kristina Montouri: I’ll put it here.
Captain Brien: She doesn’t have her seatbelt on. You’re driving dangerous.
Kristina Montouri: That’s alright, I got it. Safety first.
Captain Brien: You’re good, you’re good.
Kristina Montouri: I got it, safety first.
Captain Brien: You’re just tryin to show off.
Kristina Montouri: Pretty much.
Captain Brien: My chef is letting me go. Hey, Chef Gisson, hey. So, how long you been doing comedy?
Kristina Montouri: I’ve been doing comedy for a couple of years performing comedy, but I’ve been writing comedy since forever. I used to be a weather lady, in that the jokes just write themselves, you know.
Captain Brien: So where were you a weather lady?
Kristina Montouri: In Shreveport, Louisiana first. And then Roanoke, Virginia, which is my hometown.
Captain Brien: And what brought you to this area?
Kristina Montouri: This area. So when I was 15, I came with my family to Naples. We had a Groupon for La Playa, actually.
Captain Brien: Really?
Kristina Montouri: And then yeah. And then my dad was always real big into real estate interstate, real estate. So got a couple of spots in Naples Park, we just came back for vacationing and then just this year I decided to fully embrace the nomad lifestyle and just go where the wind blows. Wherever I feel like I wanna be.
Kristina Montouri: So right now I’m right here.
Captain Brien: And you kinda spend the winters right now you’re gonna be like the youngest snow bird ever.
Kristina Montouri: Pretty much. And I’m not exactly a snow bird, I’m going with nomad, because I was just in Atlanta a couple weeks ago. Probably go back, I have a couple shows in Roanoke, Virginia.
Captain Brien: So you’re kind on a road comic.
Kristina Montouri: In a way, yeah.
Captain Brien: That’s the move.
Kristina Montouri: It’s not a set schedule, I kind of just go, I meet people, such as yourself, get shows, have some fun, when it gets dull, move on to the next spot.
Captain Brien: So you are an aspiring full-time, you wanna be a comic on tour, tell me what the struggles are.
Kristina Montouri: The struggles.
Captain Brien: I can tell you how to help. I can help you.
Kristina Montouri: Okay. Right now I’m having so much fun I haven’t really ran into too many struggles other than my own.
Captain Brien: But the big paid gigs obviously are not happening yet. I mean we have a big show coming up March 2nd at Off The Hook and there’s gonna be a bunch of comics, it’s a showcase show, that’d be great. But I mean, you’re not selling out theaters.
Kristina Montouri: Right, right, right. I also haven’t really invested as much time as I probably should’ve to selling out theaters because I’m having too much fun layin around on the beach.
Captain Brien: Is that the thing?
Kristina Montouri: But here’s the thing. I’ve been kind of goin with what feels right, what feels good in the moment, havin fun with my life because I’d spent too much time just doin what everybody else wanted me to do. But it actually put me in the perfect spot cause I don’t know if you remember, about a year ago came down for your Open Mic Competition, right? So I was down here for that. And I was on the beach, just hangin out, I was writing comedy.
Captain Brien: Say hi to Laura. Hey
Kristina Montouri: Hello Laura.
Captain Brien: Hey Bruce, what’s goin on guys, how are ya? Thanks for watchin.
Kristina Montouri: I love it when people tune in.
Captain Brien: Yeah they say hi.
Kristina Montouri: Yeah, hey guys.
Captain Brien: So you were on the beach.
Kristina Montouri: Yeah I was on the beach, just writing, I had I think the caption was zen out. That’s kind of a play on that very ancient quote rock out with your cock out. I think Blondie said that.
Captain Brien: That’s true.
Kristina Montouri: So yeah zen out with my pen out and you saw that, it was on Instagram and you just commented on it. Hey if you’re in town, I’ve got a guest spot tonight, and it was an hour later.
Captain Brien: That’s cool. How did that even happen?
Kristina Montouri: It was the weirdest thing, it was the like the right spot at the right time and I was thinking I’m all sandy, I’ve been at the beach all day. I can’t be at a show in an hour, there’s no way but I’m like you know what, I gotta make it happen. I ran to the beach, so I had to run back, I’m all sweaty, I’m like alright, I gotta be there in 15 minutes, it takes about 15 minutes to get there.
Captain Brien: I didn’t know any of this. You were very quiet about this.
Kristina Montouri: I was actin like it was all chill. And I’m like okay, I have 30 minutes to get there, it takes about 15 minutes to get there, I’m gonna call an Uber so I can get ready in the car. So I get all my stuff, I’m in the car, the window’s down, I’m drying my hair. I didn’t even wash my hair it’s still wet from the beach. I’m drying my hair out the window, gonna get there, I rush in, I’m like I’ll be able to throw some makeup on or look kinda decent when I get in there. I’ll go to the bathroom, chill out. But I get there and Stacey Steele is hosting, meet her, she’s amazing.
Captain Brien: She’s great.
Kristina Montouri: She’s a friend of mine now. So that’s why all this just worked out by itself. She’s like you’re up in five minutes. I’m like, excuse me, what?
Captain Brien: Wait, so I guess I didn’t even know. So how much time did you have at the time?
Kristina Montouri: She gave me I believe ten minutes.
Captain Brien: Ten minutes. But how much material did you have? Did I ask you that?
Kristina Montouri: Did you ask how much material?
Captain Brien: Did I ask you oh are you okay with doin five or ten or something? No I can’t take that call. Sorry guys. I needed to take that call, that was my attorney, but I can’t take it. Alright, so you had how much material?
Kristina Montouri: I have hours of material.
Captain Brien: At the time?
Kristina Montouri: Yeah.
Captain Brien: Everyone says they have hours of material but they really don’t. How much funny material? I could talk for hours too. But how much funny material did you think you had?
Kristina Montouri: At the time, maybe an hour.
Captain Brien: Okay. But you still weren’t headlining. You headline some gigs now, yes?
Kristina Montouri: Yes. I also produce some of my own shows in Roanoke, Virginia. We had one sell out show. It was over 200 people, really fun time.
Captain Brien: Very cool.
Kristina Montouri: Yeah we brought in traveling comedian, his name’s Cliff Cash, really good. Yeah, follow Cliff Cash. He’s an awesome comedian. But he came out to our show to headline. Kinda co-headline.
Captain Brien: Nice. So the future of comedy for you is going to be what?
Kristina Montouri: The future for comedy for me is going to be – it’s hard to say because I’m telling you now, I’m just doing what I wanna do in the moment and seeing where that takes me. Not making any plans. The only plan is to live in the moment.
Captain Brien: She’s independently wealthy, and she doesn’t have to work. Can we get married? Let’s do that now.
Kristina Montouri: I’m a bougie bum. I’m a bougie bum, I’m just
Captain Brien: How does that work?
Kristina Montouri: A bougie bum. No I’m not. I rent my house, Air BnB. And I’ve been hanging with my brother’s house. So that’s how I’ve been funding some things and I have some other investments too.
Captain Brien: Very cool. So as far as your comedy, tell us what we can expect.
Kristina Montouri: What can you expect from my comedy?
Captain Brien: I’ve seen a bunch, but I wanna know what you –
Kristina Montouri: So I have material from – I used to be married, I just got a divorce too, so that’s another thing. It just changed my life completely, just turned it upside down. The Etch-A-Sketch. This cool thing and just shake it all up and now I’m drawin a new thing and I don’t know what it’s gonna be but we’ll figure it out together. My comedy is very real, I do not censor myself, I have –
Captain Brien: Which no comic should.
Kristina Montouri: They shouldn’t but some people do. You know what I mean? I censored myself for one show because it was a really religious crowd and I totally regretted doing that.
Captain Brien: There is scenarios where you’re booked on a show and the opener will be told look, you can’t be super dirty. There’s two reasons why comics don’t want comedians dirty up front. Because a comedian who is clean wants the whole show to be clean. A comedian that’s dirty, wants the whole impact of them being dirty and catching all the jokes that are dirty to them cause they’re the headliner. They don’t want an opener to go up and use a bunch of material that already has the crowd used to being dirty. They want the shock factor of doing that.
Kristina Montouri: Yeah you need to have that flow through the whole show
Captain Brien: Correct.
Kristina Montouri: Whatever vibe you wanna have for each show. Exactly. And I’m glad you brought that up too. So yeah, I think there is offensive and dirty humor and things that you can say in certain ways that do offend people for no reason. And then there are other things that you can say and joke about that kind of challenge people’s current beliefs, it makes them a little bit uncomfortable, but in a good way. You’re never really learnin anything until you’re kind of out of your comfort zone. So the comedians that I aspire to be like are the comedians that say something that you’re not exactly comfortable with in the moment but then you think hey, they had a point.
Captain Brien: And who is that?
Kristina Montouri: I might learn something.
Captain Brien: Who do you like the most?
Kristina Montouri: Anthony Jeselnik.
Captain Brien: Oh, he’s a buddy of mine, he’s great.
Kristina Montouri: If you are offended by what he’s saying it’s probably because it’s a little meta for you. He’s actually not racist, sexist, any of those things. He’s saying things ironically, it’s very intelligent humor.
Kristina Montouri: So that’s what I try to do.
Captain Brien: Out of all the comedians that are touring right now, he’s pretty much the only one that can get away with that.
Kristina Montouri: Oh yeah. Yeah he’s great. And then Nikki Glaser does sexual humor in a very intelligent way also.
Captain Brien: Yup, Nikki’s great. The first time I had Nikki, she opened for Amy Schumer. That was a hell of a show.
Kristina Montouri: I just read Amy Scumer’s book and that was a great book.
Captain Brien: I have not. And I won’t cause I don’t read a lot.
Kristina Montouri: She’s a very interesting person.
Captain Brien: I just don’t.
Kristina Montouri: I listen to audio books, honestly.
Captain Brien: I really don’t.
Kristina Montouri: I listen to audio books more than anything. But back to the sexual humor. I don’t tell dirty jokes, I tell sexual jokes, because sex is not dirty. It’s a human thing, and I think keeping something in the dark and hiding it actually is kind of dangerous. Kids are going to figure it out whether you like it or not, so you can either be open about it and admit that it’s a normal human thing, or you can let them navigate through Pornhub and figure it out themselves. And it’s probably not gonna be the right thing.
Captain Brien: Right. They’re gonna venture across something that probably isn’t a traditional technique.
Kristina Montouri: Yeah. When I was a kid I was sheltered, so this is kinda coming from a personal past. My parents did not speak of sex at all. It was just you did not talk about it. Which of course, what are you gonna do when you can’t talk about something? You’re gonna be very interested in it.
Captain Brien: You’re gonna be interested.
Kristina Montouri: Oh my gosh.
Captain Brien: So you’re very sexually active. Ladies and gentlemen, she’s extremely horny on the Captain’s Log, we appreciate that, and she’s gonna be on stage, you can come see her March 2nd. Don’t miss her. No, I’m just kidding.
Kristina Montouri: I am 30, that means hormonally I’m basically a 17-year-old boy.
Captain Brien: Does that work that way?
Kristina Montouri: My doctor says.
Captain Brien: They all say that, but does it really kick in at 30?
Kristina Montouri: Well I’m also recently divorced so it could just be like party time.
Captain Brien: You’re on the party train.
Kristina Montouri: Yeah, I’m on the no pun intended. Or was it?
Captain Brien: That’s funny. So 30 is the magic number or what or was it gradual? Or was it the divorce and it went right to the moon?
Kristina Montouri: It was probably more the divorce. It was just like I don’t know –
Captain Brien: How long were you married?
Kristina Montouri: I was married for eight years.
Captain Brien: Eight years.
Kristina Montouri: Yeah, I got married young.
Captain Brien: Really?
Kristina Montouri: I got married at 22.
Captain Brien: Wow.
Kristina Montouri: Because my family was very you gotta save it for marriage, you gotta save it for marriage. And there were a couple times where I didn’t save it for marriage. But overall –
Captain Brien: Throughout the marriage?
Kristina Montouri: What do you mean throughout the marriage? Overall –
Captain Brien: You didn’t save it for just for him while you were married?
Kristina Montouri: No, no, no, no, no.
Kristina Montouri: I can’t understand why you’re not married any more. I meant before, before, before.
Captain Brien: Oh, okay, okay I was confused. Sorry, sorry, I was confused.
Kristina Montouri: When you’re younger, you wanna do what your family thinks is the right thing so I went to Catholic school, and they were like Jesus doesn’t want you to have sex unless it’s in the butt and that’s the loophole.
Captain Brien: So you got married at 22 but you were sexually active at what age?
Kristina Montouri: Oh, 19. But it was only those couple of times.
Captain Brien: Was it with the same guy or no?
Kristina Montouri: Yeah.
Captain Brien: Really?
Kristina Montouri: So you married your not high school sweetheart, but close to it? Oh yeah.
Captain Brien: So yeah. So that’s another reason why I think people need to relax a little bit. I married a great guy. Stand up guy, I highly recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a husband
Captain Brien: Did you get half his shit?
Kristina Montouri: No.
Captain Brien: What do you mean no? How does that happen?
Kristina Montouri: I know, my lawyer said I was stupid.
Captain Brien: How do I do that?
Kristina Montouri: Here’s the thing, we both had our own shit because –
Captain Brien: Okay, so you came carrying groceries, and you guys both left with goodie bags.
Kristina Montouri: We both left with our own goodie bags.
Captain Brien: Okay, okay.
Kristina Montouri: Yes, we both were fine. I could’ve gotten alimony and all that other stuff but I just thought that was bullshit, you know?
Captain Brien: Because you didn’t work through your marriage?
Kristina Montouri: I did.
Captain Brien: So how are you gonna still?
Kristina Montouri: At the time, I had just quit my job. I had just decided to change my life completely. I quit my job as a weatherwoman.
Captain Brien: Cause you don’t have any kids.
Kristina Montouri: No kids, no kids.
Captain Brien: Yeah, so you’re free.
Kristina Montouri: Very free.
Captain Brien: You’re not married, you’re free, you’re just humpin all around Florida right now.
Captain Brien: Anything you can do you’re just – she’s available guys, she’s available. Just hit her up and go ahead give your Instagram and your Facebook if you’d like for sure.
Kristina Montouri: Yeah my Instagram and Facebook both just my name, Kristina Montuori.
Captain Brien: You gotta spell Montuori, cause there’s no way I could spell it.
Kristina Montouri: M-O-N-T-U-O-R-I. And I’m tagged at the top of this post.
Captain Brien: Yeah exactly, yeah you could just follow her.
Kristina Montouri: So you can just click that and follow it, find it on Instagram, the whole thing. I just gotta be a real person, I don’t care what anyone thinks of me anymore, I’m good with myself, and you notice I don’t do the makeup thing anymore. Last time you saw me I was getting makeup on in the Uber with my hair out the window.
Captain Brien: Right, so now you’re au naturelle Kristina.
Kristina Montouri: Yeah, and you know what? I get way more attention without the makeup. I don’t know if guys are like I don’t know, she looks like she could be homeless, I should probably tak her home.
Captain Brien: Maybe they feel –
Kristina Montouri: She’s a mess, she’s a mess.
Captain Brien: Maybe you seem more achievable now.
Kristina Montouri: More achievable?
Captain Brien: That’s what it is. They’re like she doesn’t do herself all up, she seems down to Earth, I’m able to meet her now.
Kristina Montouri: I’ve been meeting a lot –
Captain Brien: Cause if you’re all done to the nines, the guy’s gonna be like damn, well I gotta freakin go and shower before I say hi out there.
Kristina Montouri: Yes. And you meet a different type of person. You meet the kind of people that are all about appearance, and I’ve gotta impress everyone, and I’m not really about that. I just got used to wearing makeup because it was part of my job, you know?
Captain Brien: What’s the best date?
Captain Brien: Your ultimate date.
Kristina Montouri: Best date?
Captain Brien: When a guy meets you, what do they need to do? Take you out, where?
Kristina Montouri: Oh man, the beach.
Captain Brien: The beach.
Captain Brien: Get that sunset.
Kristina Montouri: I’m a sucker for a sunset.
Captain Brien: You gonna wear a bikini?
Kristina Montouri: If it’s warm enough, yeah.
Captain Brien: She wears a bikini, guys. How can you say no?
Kristina Montouri: Who doesn’t?
Captain Brien: Is it a string bikini or is it like a onesie?
Kristina Montouri: Jesus Christ.
Captain Brien: Come on, they need to know. I’m here just dealing out the information.
Kristina Montouri: Here’s the thing, I do wear a two-piece, because it just makes sense because I have a very long torso. My chair is actually lower to the mat
Captain Brien: Yeah, you’re tall.
Kristina Montouri: Cause if I sit up I’m touching the ceiling right now and it’s my torso. I’m a great swimmer because of that, actually.
Captain Brien: That is true, because you are like –
Kristina Montouri: It’s all torso. Sitting down I’m very tall.
Captain Brien: You’re an inch shorter than me but you’re literally taller than me right now.
Kristina Montouri: Yeah, I’m actually kind of leaning so I can get in your shot.
Captain Brien: We should’ve traded torsos, I could’ve been taller. Damn it.
Kristina Montouri: I wish I had a –
Captain Brien: I got a short torso, maybe.
Kristina Montouri: That’s the way to be though. Everyone’s like oh she’s got legs for days. No one’s like look at that torso boo.
Captain Brien: Oh, is that what it is?
Kristina Montouri: No one cares about a torso.
Captain Brien: But then the stomach goes for days.
Kristina Montouri: It’s nice, cause I can gain a lot of weight and it kinda evens out, there’s not a belly there.
Kristina Montouri: It distributes it.
Captain Brieni: It’s distribution,
Kristina Montouri: More, more room to – and then you have the thick legs cause they’re short, right? So then if you’re ever not feeling confident, you just walk through a group.
Kristina Montouri: Don’t guys want thick girls these days?
Kristina Montouri: I don’t know what guys want.
Captain Brien: I don’t think you’re thick, you’re very thin.
Kristina Montouri: Everybody wants –
Captain Brien: But isn’t that a thing? It’s not for me. Not a big thick girl.
Kristina Montouri: No? It’s whatever you want, you know? And a lot of people are all about the whole a real woman’s got this or a real woman’s got that. I’m like, we’re all real, we’re all breathing and walking, just be a healthy person. It doesn’t really matter.
Captain Brien: And loving and caring and sincere and honest.
Kristina Montouri: Yes.
Captain Brien: What about all those?
Kristina Montouri: Those are good too, you know?
Captain Brien: At the beach in a bikini those go out the window, though.
Kristina Montouri: Then you could be a complete asshole as long as you look good. That’s the moral of the story.
Captain Brien: So the guy’s gotta take you to the beach, what else does he have to do?
Kristina Montouri: Gosh, you gotta open up.
Captain Brien: Gotta open up.
Kristina Montouri: Oh man, I love being real.
Captain Brien: The wallet or the mind?
Kristina Montouri: Mind. Actually I have a strict policy. I pay for my own things.
Captain Brien: You do?
Kristina Montouri: On especially a first date, yes. Because I don’t like people to have expectations. They think you owe them something cause they bought you dinner.
Captain Brien: Right, so you wanna make sure you’re in control.
Kristina Montouri: Yes. I like being in control.
Captain Brien: 2019 the ladies are in the driver’s seat.
Kristina Montouri: I hate being told what to do, I absolutely hate being told what to do, unless I’m naked.
Captain Brien: Wow.
Kristina Montouri: I’m a dom in the streets and a sub in the sheets.
Captain Brien: I got you, I got you. Okay, okay. You guys might wanna know that, there you go. You can DM her at any time.
Kristina Montouri: Please don’t. I don’t answer my DMs.
Captain Brien: I know, for real. How many you must have
Kristina Montouri: You can follow and you can comment.
Captain Brien: That’s right.
Kristina Montouri: I’ll hit you up in the comments but –
Captain Brien: Yeah, you could be a fan, and you could buy tickets to the show, right? Off the Hook Comedy club March 2nd.
Kristina Montouri: March 2nd and since it’s sexual it’s a later show, right?
Captain Brien: It’s a 10:30 show at Richie La La, I think Eric Myers is on that show, you’re on the show, probably Carl and Stacey might be on that show.
Kristina Montouri: Hell yeah.
Captain Brien: It’s gonna be a great show and a big line up. So everyone gets to do about 15 minutes so that’ll be fun. Maybe 20.
Kristina Montouri: Sounds good. Maybe 20. Alright, I could do that. I’m pumped about that. That’s my problem.
Captain Brien: But thank you for doing my podcast today, this is the Captain’s Log, and you’re a fan, so now –
Kristina Montouri: I’m a huge fan.
Captain Brien: You’re gonna have to tell everyone that you did the show, it’s amazing.
Kristina Montouri: I will definitely do it. I will share it.
Captain Brien: The same show that Kevin Hart did. You did it. Now you’re movin up on the ladder.
Kristina Montouri: Movin up in the world. So Kevin Hart was sittin right here?
Captain Brien: Kevin Hart was sittin actually –
Kristina Montouri: Where was his torso? Where was his torso at?
Captain Brien: He’s short as hell.
Kristina Montouri: I know. I love him.
Captain Brien: But actually we did a whole show during the day and I even did an interview on the stage with him back at the club. So yeah, but he had eight people in the car when we went to do radio. Cause I usually do it with comedians on the way to press. So our press day will include while I’m driving me talking to them because they can’t run away and say no. So it’s good, I have a captive audience.
Kristina Montouri: Have you had a favorite, or just a favorite type of interview?
Captain Brien: Man, I did one with Bert Kreischer and it literally melted the whole computer.
Captain Brien: For an hour and a half we just had what I thought was gold. I hit save, I was ready to freakin upload it, and my whole Imac literally just died. I lost all of the material.

We do a lot of different things, and a lot of it is me and it’s the Captain’s Log because it’s like my daily journeys. So I’ll do all different things. It’s not just – it could be entrepreneurial, it could be my health, my whatever. Personal issues or personal achievements, it could be – so it’s just a whole mix of stuff. So every day it’s kinda something different. I try to do it every day but I had launched my own vodka brand and I introduced a gin and a rum and a dark rum.
Kristina Montouri: What’s it called?
Captain Brien: Captain Brien’s.
Kristina Montouri: It’s called Captain Brien’s.

Jon Rudnitsky: The flight was fantastic, I was asleep for most of it.
Captain Brien: Really?
Jon Rudnitsky: That was ideal. Is everything alright with the camera?
Captain Brien: Everything’s good. On that one I probably just ran out of batteries.

Jon Rudnitsky: No, no I didn’t mind it its all good I’m used to traveling it’s part of my job here He’s not texting
Captain Brien: I’m not texting I’m sharing stuff.
Captain Brien: Checking the livestream. Who doesn’t have the Facebook app? That’s a phenomenon right there I like that
Jon Rudnitsky: I periodically delete the Instagram app just because I like to be less connected.
Captain Brien: Really?
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah just from my phone.
Captain Brien: Even in your industry.
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah when I’m promoting a show I post and then I like delete the app cause I’m like I don’t wanna be wasting time I don’t trust myself to not open it up and then I start going down a rabbit hole. Why am I lookin’ up my ex-girlfriend’s fiance
Captain Brien: You can do like uh it used to be like the Youtube
Jon Rudnitsky: Pictures from 2014 I’m like this this is sad, this is the middle of the day and I’ve been on the toilet for an hour and a half now
Captain Brien: Right. It used to be like the Youtube vortex but I think everyone’s like on the Instagram now I’ll just start watching that scrolling.
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah Facebook is for my mom. For my mom to uh, accidentally post things on her status.
Captain Brien: So what, what’s the deal what are you looking forward to here in Naples cause for me it’s the same scenario but I love when the comics come in they want to do different stuff
Jon Rudnitsky: I wanna go to the beach I wanna hang out it’s nice weather here I wanna eat good seafood and I’m looking forward to the shows.
Captain Brien: You wanna know a story? Kevin Hart came down with seven of his homies, they stayed in a penthouse on the Marco Island Beach at the Marriott and never once went outside.
Jon Rudnitsky: Really?
Captain Brien: Yeah they never went to the beach.
Jon Rudnitsky: Unbelievable!
Captain Brien: I would go to the beach every day.
Jon Rudnitsky: You got a penthouse its a different thing, I’m at the Hampton Inn so I’m itchin’ to get out and see the sun.
Captain Brien: They played video games all day.
Jon Rudnitsky: Amazing. That’s great if I had a penthouse you know, who knows I might do that, I’d probably be out on the beach, I’d be out at the beach you know, a mix of the video games was wow but if I had all my buddies he’s doin’ it right that guy, Kevin Hart.
Captain Brien: So tell me about Saturday Night Live, how’s that gig?
Jon Rudnitsky: That gig was wild you know
Captain Brien: How’d you get it first of all?
Jon Rudnitsky: I was at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal I seeing new faces. – Are you goin’ this year? I’m not going this year now no, are you goin’?
Captain Brien: I might go this year, yeah. I missed a couple of years in a row but I think I wanna get back this year.
Jon Rudnitsky: It’s a wild time.
Captain Brien: It’s fun.
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah and for those who don’t know it’s the biggest comedy festival in the world
Captain Brien: It is.
Jon Rudnitsky: And I’d done this Dirty Dancing bit for my audition
Captain Brien: Okay.
Jon Rudnitsky: It’s basically where I come out to the Dirty Dancing song I Had The Time of My Life I had an imaginary
Captain Brien: Do you like to dance?
Jon Rudnitsky: I do.
Captain Brien: I saw your moves, I saw your moves on the uh, what’s the game, is that the game or or the scream that you did
Jon Rudnitsky: Oh Oh that was just uh a Donald Glover commercial, Google commercial that I think is really cool and so
Captain Brien: You were doin’ the moves you looked good
Jon Rudnitsky: I was stoned one night and just learned all the moves and then and then I posted it.
Captain Brien: Speaking of which, I hung out with Donald Glover at the Montreal Comedy Festival.
Jon Rudnitsky: Oh my God that’s so cool. There’s nobody more talented I think in the world.
Captain Brien: He’s amazing.
Jon Rudnitsky: than Donald Glover.
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah oh my God forget about it
Captain Brien: That was a good time
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah he’s unreal, he’s unreal.
Captain Brien: He literally did comedy and then grabbed the mic and rapped in the middle of the nightclub.
Jon Rudnitsky: That sounds about right.
Captain Brien: He like just…
Jon Rudnitsky: He’s the funniest guy
Captain Brien: He literally just started rapping
Jon Rudnitsky: And the most talented oh my God
Captain Brien: In the middle of the club.
Jon Rudnitsky: That’s amazing.
Captain Brien: I don’t think people knew how cool that was at the time cuz it was like
Jon Rudnitsky: Oh was this kinda before
Captain Brien: Like five years ago, six years ago.
Jon Rudnitsky: Wow.
Captain Brien: Maybe four or five years ago so he was just blowing up.
Jon Rudnitsky: He’ll win like an Academy Award in the next couple years, he’ll make a movie whatever he touches is just immediately is immediately gold. So anyway so I did this Dirty Dancing bit where I came out to the Dirty Dancing song and I danced with an imaginary Jennifer Gray I mime the whole thing until the lift, and then I drop her, and she’s she’s dead.
Captain Brien: And this is your audition?
Jon Rudnitsky: This was my audition.
Captain Brien: Did they ask for this or this is what you sent in?
Jon Rudnitsky: No actually weirdly enough it was this was not my audition for SNL this was just my audition for, hey good morning Crystal.
Captain Brien: Hey Crystal.
Jon Rudnitsky: Uh, this was just my, uh audition for the festival.
Captain Brien: Okay.
Jon Rudnitsky: It was actually my callback and it wasn’t supposed to be my callback, I auditioned with the standup and then for my callback I was like I’m going to go out there and do this weird mime act uh and at least they’ll remember me. I probably won’t get to book it but we won’t get new faces cause it’s so competitive but at least they’ll remember me. And then I did it and instead of going out there and doing my jokes I just didn’t talk for five minutes, I did this whole thing where I dance with imaginary Jennifer Gray up until the lift then she, I drop her, she’s a goner, I’m tryin’ to revive her.
Captain Brien: Did you have this all planned?
Jon Rudnitsky: It goes on and goes on.
Captain Brien: Or was this Ad-Lib?
Jon Rudnitsky: No I had it all planned, I had it all worked out, and then I did it at Montreal and SNL scouts were there and they invited me to showcase in LA and then they invited me to screen test at 30 Rock in front of Lorne and the producers and what not and and like a month later I’m at a parking lot in Minnesota about to perform at a comedy club and I get a call from Lorne Michaels inviting me to join the cast so it definitely changed my life, that moment.
Captain Brien: I was there um when Amy Schumer got the call for the Amy Schumer Show which is I mean, it’s mind blowing right? Like these are life changing events was it a life changing event for you?
Jon Rudnitsky: By a long shot.
Captain Brien: It was right? I mean of course.
Jon Rudnitsky: It was the most exciting thing that still ever happened to me you know, I’ve had some exciting calls I mean, just finishing this Hulu show with George Clooney in Italy is pretty wild. But this was the first big call and SNL is like, the dream for me. Was always the dream.
Captain Brien: Were you sitting there waiting for it? It just happened right it wasn’t like you know like approximately or no?
Jon Rudnitsky: I had tested for it and was waiting to hear
Captain Brien: But you didn’t know when the call was coming it coulda come in two weeks or coulda came next day right?
Jon Rudnitsky: Right, yeah.
Captain Brien: Or they coulda called and said dude it didn’t work.
Jon Rudnitsky: It didn’t work out.
Captain Brien: Saw your face but not gonna happen.
Jon Rudnitsky: Those are long days waiting for that call, waiting to find out if you got Saturday Night Live, and then getting it I screamed I just went running and screaming, just yelling at the top of my lungs.
Captain Brien: And in the first time you were on camera live, were you shitting your pants, I mean to say the least?
Jon Rudnitsky: You know, it’s one of those things you kind of shit in your pants after is how I, it’s kinda how I always talk about it.
Captain Brien: It’s like Holy Shit I did it?
Jon Rudnitsky: It’s like you just gotta be here while its happening, I can’t think, I can’t zoom out and think about what I’m doing because if I did I would be frozen, like I’m on SNL, I’m live in front of millions of people, Miley Cyrus is licking my face which is what happened in my first week.
Captain Brien: Oh my God!
Jon Rudnitsky: I can’t be thinking about the fact that this is happening. Now I look back and I’m like oh my God.
Captain Brien: Did you like Miley?
Jon Rudnitsky: She was so cool.
Captain Brien: Yeah she is.
Jon Rudnitsky: That was uh uh quite an experience to, way to get initiated.
Jon Rudnitsky: I agree.
Jon Rudnitsky: Into the show.
Captain Brien: : What brought the lick on? Just the handsomeness, she couldn’t
Jon Rudnitsky: I wish I could take credit for that, but no the premise of the sketch was like a Grease dance you know like a 50’s kind of vibe.
Captain Brien: Oh yeah, I saw that, I saw that.
Jon Rudnitsky: And uh I’m like, she’s the new girl in school look how cute she is you know. And then she’s like modern day Miley so she’s like licking a lollipop and rappin’ about takin’ Molly and I’m like, overwhelmed and don’t know how to deal with it then by the end she’s like, you know, licking my face.
Captain Brien: You won her over.
Jon Rudnitsky: Or she like freaked me out, and pulled me in, but yeah it was a very cool experience. And to be able to come up with an idea on Tuesday, and then on Saturday suddenly you’re in costume.
Captain Brien: How long does that take ya to run the ideas by everyone?
Jon Rudnitsky: Um you know its just one night is writing night.
Captain Brien: You have a pitch night?
Jon Rudnitsky: Monday night is pitch night, Tuesday night is writing night, you know, and then uh, then Wednesday and Thursday then you know you’re rehearsing, and then Friday you’re uh gearing up, by Saturday it’s ready to go and that’s it. And then there’s a dress rehearsal and things are gettin’ cut all the way up until the show. You could you know have something on the show but it could get cut for time.
Captain Brien: Right.
Jon Rudnitsky: You know, right before, so it’s
Captain Brien: What’s the wildest thing someone pitched in the room when they were like, who the hell thought of that?
Jon Rudnitsky:: I can’t honestly, I don’t know, I can’t think of like a crazy pitch, it was always, it’s always real funny, funny stuff but nothing like crazy I feel like.
Captain Brien: What about ones they they turn down, that you were like, damn, they didn’t frickin’ want that?
Jon Rudnitsky: Um.
Captain Brien: That sounds hysterical.
Jon Rudnitsky:: I’m tryin’, jeez, I’m tryin’ to remember.
Captain Brien: What about something you pitched that got frickin’ turned down?
Jon Rudnitsky: Oh my God, so many more often than not, way more often than not.
Captain Brien: Really?
Jon Rudnitsky: When I pitch things.
Captain Brien: Was there like a pecking order, where like, there’re certain guys who always get through?
Jon Rudnitsky: Well, yeah, there are certainly people who’ve earned their stripes there, and you know, Kate McKinnon is always gonna be you know, prominent in the show. Kenan has been there 15 years so he’s gonna be used a lot and, yeah there’s definitely and I was the new guy, so I kinda got thrown into the deep end with weights around my ankles a bit.
Captain Brien: Right.
Jon Rudnitsky: And, for me it’s like fighting to to get air time. You have to really you have to write yourself into stuff, cuz otherwise I’m just the waiter, you know, oh the President will see you now and that’s it, that’s all I’ll do the entire show, so. Um, for me I had to write my own stuff, and and then you’re doin’ that, you write that Tuesday night at six a.m. with no sleep I’m writin’ a character, new idea, then suddenly Wednesday’s at a table reading in front of the funniest people in the world and whichever movie star’s hosting that week, and yeah a lot of times it doesn’t go well. To bomb at that level there’s nothing quite like that. Yeah.
Captain Brien: Yeah. And even on stage if you’re bombing the lights you can’t see every person’s face the whole time, but maybe in that room might be a little intimidating huh?
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah, it’s one thing if you’re bombing you know, at a comedy club wherever in, in, the country and it’s another thing if you’re bombing in front of Tina Fey or whoever’s hosting that week, or whoever, Larry David’s there, you know. I had a good week the week Larry David was there, which was nice cuz he’s my comedic icon, but, yeah I had a couple of good weeks and then a lot of, lot of misses and that’s the thing, the highs are very high and the lows are very low at that show. And it moves at a very fast pace, a very fast pace.
Captain Brien: I always wonder, what about goin’ back like, have you been to any high school or college reunions or anything, and they’re like, dude, you’re on freakin’ SNL now!
Jon Rudnitsky: It was pretty wild yeah, the whole thing was a real, cuz I moved out to LA to pursue all of it and my first job was back in the East Coast where I grew up so, for me, like I called all my best friends, I’m like comin’, I’m movin’ home also cuz I got SNL. So, actually in the intro of the show it’s me walkin’ down a street in Manhattan with my best friends and my brothers.
Captain Brien: Cool.
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah, that was in the intro of the show. So yeah it was very cool and
Captain Brien: So when you were in high school, did you go to college?
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah I went to USC that’s what brought me out to LA.
Captain Brien: : And you studied?
Jon Rudnitsky: Theater.
Captain Brien: Theater, right? So in high school were you already into theater?
Jon Rudnitsky: Always wanted to perform this was always the thing.
Captain Brien: Did you do high school plays?
Jon Rudnitsky: I did the musicals, yeah.
Captain Brien: Yeah, I did some, I did.
Jon Rudnitsky: You did?
Captain Brien: I did in some drama like productions in the town I did a few.
Jon Rudnitsky: Oh wow! You got some footage and that we can cut to?
Captain Brien: I do, I have some break dancin’ clips too.
Jon Rudnitsky: Oh my God break dancing! Can you still do that?
Captain Brien: A little bit, a little bit.
Jon Rudnitsky: Wow.
Captain Brien: Yeah I was on a break dancing show when I was in high, when I was in middle school, yeah.
Jon Rudnitsky: Wow.
Captain Brien: It was a local cable show but it was pretty fun though.
Jon Rudnitsky: Oh my God I would love to see this.
Captain Brien: It was great, it was great.
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah. Baggy sweatpants?
Captain Brien: Oh yeah, the zippers, parachute pants and that.
Jon Rudnitsky: Bust a move. I imagine.
Captain Brien: Oh yeah that was great.
Jon Rudnitsky: That’s fantastic, yeah, you gotta be, you gotta be strong to pull off those moves.
Captain Brien: You do, you do. What about what about traveling now with the food, like you’re from New Jersey right?
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah, from Jersey.
Captain Brien: So the food’s the best in Jersey, I always feel like Jersey, Chicago, Boston, New York, right?
Jon Rudnitsky: All good stuff, yeah.
Jon Rudnitsky: Amazing. Like LA says they got great food, they got great restaurants, other places but it’s a different deal. Like I, I’m down with like the New York, the Boston, Jersey like Mom and Pop places been there like 50 years and they make the best whatever right?
Captain Brien: Yeah yeah yeah
Captain Brien: When you go out to like LA the food has to be like really trendy, you don’t have that background right?
Jon Rudnitsky: It’s true, it’s different. It’s a lot of health foods in LA, which is good, I like I feel good when I’m in LA because it’s actually hard to eat like shit there, you know
Captain Brien: Cause everyone’s like oh my God you’re not vegan?
Jon Rudnitsky: You can’t find regular milk there.
Captain Brien: It’s almond?
Jon Rudnitsky: It’s almond, it’s oat, it’s hemp, the milk’s go on and on.
Captain Brien: Really?
Jon Rudnitsky: You can’t keep up with the milks. But now since I left yesterday I’ve had Dunkin’ Donuts three times.
Captain Brien: Oh I love Dunkin’! We went there this morning, right?
Jon Rudnitsky: We did, we did.
Captain Brien: They’re not sponsoring the show by the way, if Dunkin’ would like to you need to call us.
Jon Rudnitsky: Hashtag Dunkin’ Donuts.
Captain Brien: So we just left 105.5 we did two stations already, Gator Country, right? – Yeah.
Captain Brien: That went well with Mel and Scott, just left 105.5 the Beat with the Freak Show and now we’re doin’ 103.9 at Beasley.
Jon Rudnitsky: We got another radio?
Captain Brien: We got two more.
Jon Rudnitsky: Two more? Oh my God, look at this I thought I was goin’ back to bed.
Captain Brien: No, we’re takin’ ya to, it’s quick though, it’s quick. One hour we’ll be done. With everything. We’ll be done in an hour.
Jon Rudnitsky: Perfect perfect. Yeah no I’m I’m gamin’ here oh my God.
Captain Brien: You had no choice to do the show, it wasn’t like you were gonna get from Ft Myers back to your hotel without drivin’ with me
Jon Rudnitsky: No, I wasn’t avoiding it, I was avoiding it, I thought I ordered an Uber I don’t know how I ended up in this situation. Right?
Captain Brien: You didn’t know it was gonna be so much fun and so many questions.
Jon Rudnitsky: This is a blast, this is great.
Captain Brien: How do you keep the beard, do you trim it or do you just let that grow in and shave it?
Jon Rudnistky: I trim the beard.
Captain Brien: You do?
Jon Rudnitsky: I trim it, yeah yeah yeah, but I’m happiest with facial hair. I don’t know how you feel but don’t you always feel like ya gotta have a little bit of scruff?
Captain Brien: I go with the scruff and then I shave.
Jon Rudnitsky: I see you shave this.
Captain Brien: The reason I don’t shave this is I get a lot of rash. Like sometimes it’s just uh it gets uncomfortable.
Jon Rudnitsky: I go with the electric trimmer.
Captain Brien: Yeah me too, the trim.
Jon Rudnitsky: I bought one for my face and one for everything else.
Captain Brien:One for your nuts.
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah you don’t want to use the same one but sometimes I forget I don’t have ’em labeled so it’s luck of the draw.
Captain Brien: And do you live with somebody?
Jon Rudnitsky: I do.
Captain Brien: And do you let them know this is the nuts one on the face one?
Jon Rudnitsky: She just stays clear of all.
Captain Brien: She does? I probably wouldn’t say anything. Oh I’d be like I used that one today, ha ha and I’d just laugh myself.
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah well I don’t think she, she’s got she’s not usin’ my razor blade, she’s got a….
Captain Brien: She’s straight Bic?
Jon Rudnitsky: She’s got a fancier situation goin’ on she’s not an animal like me.
Captain Brien: I wouldn’t do the wax though. Did you ever do the full wax?
Jon Rudnitsky: I’ve never, I’ve never done a full wax. I’ve thought about it.
Captain Brien: Really? I get scared just goin’ up.
Jon Rudnitsky: The the uh you know, the in between the area the landing.
Captain Brien: Here’s what bothers me with the wax. When I go to the counter and they’re like yeah, what can we do for you today? What what kind of wax would you like, and I’m like, my eyebrows, I’m even afraid to say my ears. Out loud. I’m like my eyebrows, and then when I get in there I’m like can you do my ears and my nose? I don’t wanna be up at the counter, be like, can you wax my taint, my nuts are very hairy right now.
Jon Rudnitsky: Oh my God.
Captain Brien: Like, it’s embarrassing.
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah, you’re not the first person to ask and you know it’s uh
Captain Brien: But there’s always other people waiting to like.
Jon Rudnitsky: You gotta go to a place that I guess uh
Captain Brien: I go to a high end place, it just drives me crazy.
Jon Rudnitsky: Specializes in in waxing of the male privates.
Captain Brien: In the bung bung.
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah, I think so. I think it would be painful, probably not worth it
Captain Brien: How would you know it’s a specialty?
Jon Rudnitsky: What’s that?
Captain Brien: How do you know it’s their specialty?
Jon Rudnitsky: I guess you gotta go on Yelp
Captain Brien: You’re gonna Yelp it? And see what their review is on Trip Advisor?
Jon Rudnitsky: You might be able to Uber Eats it maybe somebody comes to you and brings you a sandwich it’s all a package deal.
Captain Brien: Yeah, speaking of Uber, do you use Lyft or Uber all the time? I never use Lyft ever.
Jon Rudnitsky: I use Lyft actually.
Captain Brien: Really?
Jon Rudnitsky: Um there was a thing I mean there was thing back when Trump was with the, the, uh, Muslim Ban and Uber I forget honestly what was happening, but Uber was bad at the time, and I deleted the app and that was my, that was me like, making a stance. I deleted Uber and I just use Lyft, I never read down what it is.
Captain Brien: And is Lyft as accessible as Uber? Like it’s just as quick a boom, they’re there, all the time.
Jon Rudnitsky: Uh Yeah it’s great, used it last night. Lyft is everywhere and it was like five minutes here.
Captain Brien: No problem.
Jon Rudnitsky: Yeah I was surprised, surprised the whole, uh
Captain Brien: And the cars, like I see sometimes I think sometimes they’re moonlighting with both now aren’t they? They can ride Lyft and Uber at the same time.
Jon Rudnitsky: Oh yeah they’re working all of it.
Captain Brien: They are, right?
Jon Rudnitsky: A Lyft driver is also an Uber driver.
Captain Brien: I gotcha, I gotcha.
Jon Rudnitsky: Hey who’s this? Patty, hi Patty!
Captain Brien: Patty what’s happening?
Jon Rudnitsky: Anthony’s watchin’ now.
Captain Brien: I think we had a little technical difficulty you know how it tells people you’re live? I don’t think it’s telling people because we didn’t get a big number but after it plays it will play huge, it will be on the podcast, on Itunes, Stitcher, Sound Cloud,
Jon Rudnitsky: Just right now.
Captain Brien: Youtube, Facebook.
Jon Rudnitsky: Are you just trying to make me feel better that there’s two people watching us?
Captain Brien: I think so, I think that’s what my plan is. I’m tryin’ to kind of gear you up for a big punch.
Jon Rudnitsky: If this is any indication of my ticket sales.
Captain Brien: I bet you ten thousand views by the time Sunday morning rolls around.
Jon Rudnitsky: I like that, okay.

Hank Denson: No, I’m not paying them no money. Don’t say that. Don’t say that I’m paying them more money.
Captain Brien: We’re trying to get teachers more money.
Hank Denson: We’re trying to get ’em more money. We’re trying to get ’em more support. There it is, hashtag, there it is, boom.
Captain Brien:That’s your big thing.
Hank Denson: Yeah, it’s Teacher Relief Live, man. I had to change the name of Teacher Relief Live because it was making administrators nervous. I got kicked out a school here in Fort Myers.
Captain Brien: Did you?
Hank Denson: Yeah, last time I was–
Captain Brien: Why? Were you trying to go to school?
Hank Denson: The teachers had invited me and the vice principal said it was okay, but the principal shut it down. Put me out.
Captain Brien: Right out?
Hank Denson: Yeah, and I had supplies. I had stuff. I had stuff to give to the teachers.
Captain Brien: Give them freebies?
Hank Denson: Yeah, and they were like, get out of here, peace, buddy. And then they called. The principal called.
Captain Brien: Now you tell me. You didn’t tell me that before I booked you. Now you tell me.
Captain Brien: Now you want to tell me you got kicked out of schools in Fort Myers.
Hank Denson: No, man, they love me here, man. I love the teachers here. They’re amazing. They’re gonna be here tonight. But no, what happened-
Captain Brien: A lot of teachers do, it’s amazing.
Hank Denson: Orange count, orange something. But the teacher’s not there no more, and the principal, hmm.
Captain Brien: What happened?
Hank Denson: It’s, they just, the culture. One thing– the culture of schools are based on how the principal and stuff is. You know, the principal sets the culture. If the principal’s messed up, then the culture’s bad for the school and it’s bad for the students, so.
Captain Brien: Well, I think that the–
Hank Denson: He’s got a light that says live on air!
Captain Brien: It is, it’s live. But the sunlight is so bright right now you can’t tell the sign’s not lit up.
Hank Denson: You should do this at night, though.
Captain Brien: I tried doing it at night, I had to put three different lights in.
Hank Denson: Yeah.
Captain Brien: Then it’s the opposite, it’s too dark.
Hank Denson: All right, so look, let me tell you all right here, watching me. Don’t watch me unless you’re sharing it. I need you to tap the screen and share it.
Captain Brien: Say hi.
Hank Denson: Yeah, I don’t need it, tap the screen, let me know you’re here, hit the notifications right there–
Captain Brien: Tell us what town you’re watching from, that’s better, right?
Hank Denson: Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah!
Captain Brien: And then–

Hank Denson: Yeah. Let me tell you ’bout this hair, bro.
Captain Brien: Give me some of that.
Hank Denson: Dude, you don’t want this.
Captain Brien: It’s nice, though.
Hank Denson: It’ll mess up your tax bracket. Your credit score’ll drop, you don’t need this hair.
Hank Denson: Yo, if y’all not drinking Brien’s liquor, man, y’all need to go get a bottle now, do some day time drinking.
Captain Brien: And I’m excited, because this week the new white rum and the gin got approved, so we are about ten days away from that hitting the shelves. Be great. ‘Cause those all organic, all natural, gluten free, sugar free.
Hank Denson: Yes.
Captain Brien: Except the white rum is not sugar free.
Hank Denson: It’s not?
Captain Brien: But it’s made with organic brown sugar.
Hank Denson: Nobody believes in any of your shit you’re saying.
Captain Brien: Yeah, it is!
Hank Denson: No.

Hank Denson: Whoa, wait a minute, so all my mi gente Puerto Rican boricua, bum-bum-bum-bum, wepa! We had a–
Captain Brien: What did you just say, just now?
Hank Denson: I just said a bunch of stuff that they say.
Captain Brien: Yeah, no idea.
Hank Denson: Yeah. So, basically what it is, I had a videos, 2.4, five million, almost, it’s five million, about coquita, which is a, base, kind of a Puerto Rican-
Captain Brien: What’s your specialty recipe? Let me hear the recipe?
Hank Denson: Oh, the, what’s in it?
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Hank Denson: Can’t tell you.
Captain Brien: C’mon.
Hank Denson: Puerto Ricans don’t like for me to tell.
Captain Brien: Dude!
Hank Denson: I tell ’em, they don’t.
They say egg nog, but there’s no egg nog in, there’s no egg in it.
Hank Denson: It’s coconut milk.
Hank Denson: All’s it is is sugar and sugar and more sugar.
Hank Denson: No, there’s no sugar!
Captain Brien:- Dude, it’s condensed milk.
Captain Brien:- Condensed milk.
Captain Brien: Evaporated milk.
Hank Denson: You’re using the leche kind, the leche, the Goya leche kind, it’s not as much sugar. But there’s less sugar than egg nog.
Captain Brien: What, I don’t know.
Hank Denson: There’s less sugar than the egg nog, man, I promise you. There’s less sugar.
Captain Brien: Sugar, egg nog is just all egg, dude.
Hank Denson: Dude, no, I promise. And egg nog, I’m lactose ignorant, so–
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Hank Denson: I drink egg nog and I’m
Captain Brien: Yeah, it’s rough, huh?
Hank Denson: Aw, yeah.
Captain Brien: Egg nog’ll tear you up.
Hank Denson: Do you use a Squatty Potty?
Captain Brien: I had one. I had a Squatty Potty, but I never used it. I only used it twice.
Hank Denson: I fell off of mine–
Captain Brien: I just fell into the commercial, I just love the commercial so much, I was like, I’ll take one.
Hank Denson: I fell off of mine.
Captain Brien: You did?
Hank Denson: Yeah!
Captain Brien: You’re not supposed to sit on the Squatty, you’re supposed to sit on the potty!
Hank Denson: You sit on the toilet and then I didn’t have no toilet paper and I had laid my pants down. And I tried to jump off of it.
Captain Brien: And it tipped?
Hank Denson: And I tipped and I fell.
Captain Brien: Oh, my God.
Hank Denson: My wife was like, what are you doing? I’m like–
Captain Brien: Was it before or after the wipe?
Hank Denson: Yo! My wife was helping me wipe. It’s none of y’all’s business.
Captain Brien: That’s funny.
Hank Denson: Yeah, so–
Captain Brien: You make your coquito, and you make it yourself? You make it yourself?
Hank Denson: Yeah, I make it myself.
Captain Brien: Okay.
Hank Denson: I’ve been making it for 15 years now.
Captain Brien: Okay.
Hank Denson: So it’s a staple in my family, ’cause my cousins are Puerto Rican and my nephews and stuff like that, their mom–
Captain Brien: You’re not Puerto Rican.
Hank Denson: No, but my family–
Captain Brien: So you get a free pass?
Hank Denson: Yeah, you’re right. Well, I know all the foods, the culture I grew up, see, one thing about being, you’re east coast.
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Hank Denson: So one thing about being east coast, you grew up with Jamaicans, Puerto Ricans, Russians, everything. So you take into the culture.
Captain Brien: They gave you a pass.
Hank Denson: I got a pass, I got a pass, man.
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Hank Denson: I got a pass.
Captain Brien: I’m not trying to get one–
Hank Denson: You’re not going to get, no.
Captain Brien: Really?
Hank Denson: Nah, you almost look Puerto Rican, though. Just a little bit darker.
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Hank Denson: Yeah, and then you have to get that different fade.
Captain Brien: Sometimes I use the emojis that aren’t the white guy emojis, I use the next color. And then people, either they’re like, okay, or they’re like, damn, dude, that’s too dark. I’m like, I got a tan that day.
Hank Denson: Nah, dude, man, I’m telling you, brown is where it’s at, man.
Captain Brien: Sometimes.
Hank Denson: Brown is it. That’s why the muscle dudes who work out.
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Hank Denson: They put tanner on.
Captain Brien: Have you ever seen those tanners? The people that do it?
Hank Denson: Oh they spray you in a chamber, yeah? Yeah.
Captain Brien: Oh my God, that’s not even tan, they just literally airbrush you brown.
Hank Denson: It’s actually orange, it’s never really brown. My wife got sprayed for some of it, she was doing a fashion show and she had almost had it on her hands. Like on her palms–
Captain Brien: Oh, yeah, and it stains?
Hank Denson: Yeah, it stains, it looks crazy.
Captain Brien: You gotta do the, you’ve gotta put on this blocker when you do it, like if you get a spray tan, you gotta put on the blocker.
Hank Denson: Oh you have to?
Captain Brien: On the nails, on your hands.
Hank Denson: Oh yeah.
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Hank Denson: Dude, man. Let me ask you something, and I wanted to always ask you this, is why do they call you Captain Brien?
Captain Brien: ‘Cause I’m a US Coast Guard Captain.
Hank Denson: Are you really?
Captain Brien: Yeah, I used to have ten boats at Marco Island.
Hank Denson: Shut up, no! No, are you serious?
Captain Brien: Yeah, dude!
Hank Denson: I can Google this information?
Captain Brien: Yes, Satisfaction Guaranteed Fishing Charters. I started the company in 1998 and I sold it in 2012.
Hank Denson: Really?
Captain Brien: Or 2011. Yeah, dude.
Hank Denson: I did not know, like, ’cause everybody’s like, call him Captain Brien, I’m like, I ain’t seen–
Captain Brien: I’m a real Captain, I’m a real US Coast Guard Captain.
Hank Denson: I haven’t seen that one boat. I’m like, all the years–
Captain Brien: Hey, Jen, up in Boston, what’s going on.
Hank Denson: Oh, yeah, Jen Eppolito, hey, are you part of the Eppolito Pizza people?
Captain Brien: No, but that’s my good friend, the Eppolitos.
Hank Denson: ‘Cause they have Eppolito Pizza in Atlanta and it is good as hell.
Captain Brien: I don’t think so. But I, they’re from Boston, but I think–
Hank Denson: They’re from Boston, where they park the car at Harvard, yo.
Captain Brien: They can probably make some good pizza, I’m sure.
Hank Denson: Yeah, yeah. I’m from Springfield.
Captain Brien: Yeah?
Hank Denson: Springfield, Massachusetts.
Captain Brien: I actually didn’t know that. How did I not know?
Hank Denson: ‘Cause you don’t, you don’t really talk to me a much as you talk to me right here.
Captain Brien: Oh my God.
Hank Denson: Let me let y’all know something about Captain Brien–
Captain Brien: This is the worst–
Hank Denson: Captain Brien has started talking more, he’s been talking to people more and more since he had this thing. Now, before, he would just say, hey, he would take me to get a lobster roll, all right, peace, he don’t even make–
Captain Brien: You got a lobster roll out of me, some guys don’t even.
Hank Denson: ‘Cause you loved it, cause you wanted it.
Captain Brien: You got clam strips, lobster rolls, onion rings.
Hank Denson: I clocked you at–
Captain Brien: Mashed potato whoopie pie.
Hank Denson: Yeah, you did, you did.
Captain Brien: See, dude, don’t be underestimating it.
Hank Denson: Yeah, he did hook me up.
Captain Brien: Playing it off like I didn’t treat him to some nice–
Hank Denson: Now I got–
Captain Brien: Now you’re hooked on that.
Hank Denson: Yeah, now I come down here with my son, I’ve gotta spend a hundred dollars on lobster rolls.
Captain Brien: It is delicious.
Hank Denson: Ahh, it is, man. But I didn’t know you were a real captain.
Captain Brien: Yes.
Hank Denson: I can’t take that, ’cause everybody asked.
Captain Brien: Don’t you read my bio, yes, I’m a real captain, I wrote right on that.
Hank Denson: No, I see you, I just watch you doing your little fake bike rides in the morning. I’m like, he ain’t riding a bike!
Captain Brien: There’s nothing fake about that.
Hank Denson: I was like, why is the background not moving?
Captain Brien: C’mon, now, I do ride it, I ride out on that bike. And you know what? I ride out on the bike, I have a track.
Hank Denson: Okay.
Captain Brien: And at track they have this membership thing where you buy it.
Hank Denson: Uh-huh.
Captain Brien: And they put on new tubes and new tires when you need ’em.
Hank Denson: Oh really?
Captain Brien: And they, yeah, you just pay like a one time fee or something.
Hank Denson: Okay.
Captain Brien: And so, I brought the thing back three times and all three times they’re like, your tires are ready to get replaced. I’m like, there’s nothing left. When do I get my damn free tires?
Hank Denson: So, it’s free? Oh, so they’re waiting for you to bust a tire.
Captain Brien: Basically you need–
Hank Denson: Or flip off the bike.
Captain Brien: You need threads showing out the tire before they give you new tires on that deal.
Hank Denson: See, that’s–
Captain Brien: They don’t tell you that.
Hank Denson: That’s rich people problems.
Captain Brien: Right?
Hank Denson: What I do is just steal somebody else’s bike.
Captain Brien: You just borrow it?
Hank Denson: I just steal somebody else, I just take somebody else’s bike.
Captain Brien: You ever stole a bike?
Hank Denson: Yeah, twice.
Captain Brien: No!
Hank Denson: Yeah.
Captain Brien: What happened?
Hank Denson: Well, outside the candy shop, there’s a candy stop that we used to grow up around, it’s called Knorr’s in Springfield.
Captain Brien: Like, someone’s bike that you didn’t know?
Hank Denson: Yeah and it was, yeah. And the kid left his bike, I knew his brother. I knew his brother couldn’t beat me up, so what I did was, after we got our candy, me and my brother, my cousin didn’t wanna walk back, so we just took his bike.
Captain Brien: And then what, you left it at his house?
Hank Denson: We left it down the street from his house.
Captain Brien: That’s like a nice steal.
Hank Denson: Yeah, and then the other bike we stole, I shouldn’t even be telling y’all this. All right, so I’mma tell y’all this story.
Captain Brien: It’s already past it.
Hank Denson: Don’t incriminate me but I didn’t steal the bike, it was a motorcycle.
Captain Brien: Okay.
Hank Denson: My cousins in Brooklyn, this is what they used to do. They used to get, they used to steal motorcycles.
Captain Brien: A distributor calling me.
Hank Denson: Why do people call when you’re doing live?
Captain Brien: People do, and they’ll text me, oh, you’re live right now?
Hank Denson: So my cousins–
Captain Brien: I’m like, yeah, no.
Hank Denson: Different parts of the- cousins. Used to steal motorcycles. So what they would do is, and one of my cousins, he got in trouble for it. What they would do was, they would get a helmet and they would go downtown and then they would wait for somebody to come out to get on their motorcycle and they would hit him in the head with a helmet and they would take their motorcycle.
Captain Brien: What? That’s thug stealing. That’s real.
Hank Denson: Yep.
Captain Brien: Oh my God.
Hank Denson: That’s why I’m such a nice guy now. I don’t–
Captain Brien: You stopped doing that? Or that wasn’t–
Hank Denson: I was just young, I was young, I was like a teenager, I didn’t know no better.
Captain Brien: Oh my God.
Hank Denson: They used to steal Chinese food from the Chinese food place.
Captain Brien: I don’t think I, I never stole anything.
Hank Denson: You don’t have to.
Captain Brien: No but I just–
Hank Denson: You never had to.
Captain Brien: I didn’t, I just was so worried.
Hank Denson: I know your mom and dad, they look like they’re good providers.
Captain Brien: They’re good, they, yeah.
Hank Denson: My parents were good providers but, I used to get around my cousins, man, they used to just do stuff. Used to make us steal Chinese food, we would order two General Tso’s chicken which was F12s, and they would just tell us, we was like, we’ll go and pick ’em up. And they would put ’em in the–
Captain Brien: And then you–
Hank Denson: They put ’em in the window, waiting for us to pay and my cousin would snatch ’em and run.
Captain Brien: Seriously.
Hank Denson: And I would be like, yo. And I’m just a kid with ’em.
Captain Brien: And you had to go with ’em. Boom. Was it good Chinese food?
Hank Denson: It was excellent, man
Captain Brien: Was it Boston Chinese food or–
Hank Denson: No, New York.
Captain Brien: Ohh.
Hank Denson: So it was real good, no rice and peas, none of that nasty carrots and stuff.
Captain Brien: Yeah, yeah.
Hank Denson: And then we used to camp, summer camp, the same thing. My cousins didn’t want to stay for the day camp. When you stay for the camp, it was done by the church so they would make you pray and do all this stuff.
Captain Brien: Right.
Hank Denson: Cousins didn’t want to do all that so they were like, yo, we’re gonna go get these sandwiches and we’ll get these cookies and the juice, and we’re gonna run. And my–
Captain Brien: You just planned it out.
Hank Denson: And they would go over there and, I didn’t know that they were going to do this, they would just, get your lunch and run, Henry!
Captain Brien: That’s like chew and screw.
Hank Denson: Thing is I had asthma, and I was a sickly kid then. So I was, I wasn’t fast. And it was, I was always scared somebody’s gonna catch me, and, hey, I’m gonna tell. ‘m a snitch.
Captain Brien: Yeah, you’re going right out.
Hank Denson: Oh, I’m telling. I’d rather tell than my mother get a hold of me any day.
Captain Brien: Oh my God
Hank Denson: It is so beautiful here–
Captain Brien: It is that, right?
Hank Denson: I just left Cleveland, I love y’all, Cleveland, but y’all need to turn the heat on.
Captain Brien: And what’s a good food in Cleveland?
Hank Denson: Oh, I had Puerto Rican food.
Captain Brien: Puerto Rican food?
Hank Denson: Yeah, I had–
Captain Brien: There’s a lot of Puerto Ricans?
Hank Denson: Yep. In Lorraine, Cleveland is a whole community.
Captain Brien: Oh.
Hank Denson: Yeah, I had a mofongo, I had some rice.
Captain Brien: What’s a mofongo?
Hank Denson: It’s a, it’s kind of like the corn tortilla and it’s fried and then they put the meat inside it–
Captain Brien: So it’s all healthy.
Hank Denson: Oh, no, none of it’s healthy. None of it, but it’s so good. So good, man.
Captain Brien: I ate Cuban food yesterday.
Hank Denson: Cuban sandwiches are good, the bread was the fattening part.
Captain Brien: Yeah, I didn’t have the pork.
Hank Denson: Okay.
Captain Brien: And–
Hank Denson: You had no choice.
Captain Brien: Rice and black beans.
Hank Denson: Cuban, Cuban food is no fish, ever.
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Hank Denson: It’s pork
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Hank Denson: Yeah, but they had turkey ribs, if you’ve never had turkey ribs.
Captain Brien: I never heard of it.
Hank Denson: Julie, have you had turkey ribs? Turkey ribs in Cleveland are good.
Captain Brien: Hey, Julie! Julie’s from Wakefield, we went to high school.
Hank Denson: Oh, word?
Captain Brien: We went to elementary school. We went to middle school together.
Hank Denson: Did you know how cool he was gonna be?
Captain Brien: Oh my God.
Hank Denson: Huh, did you know he was gonna be this guy? Did you know he was gonna be Captain Brien? Liquor Extraordinaire Club owner? Huh?
Captain Brien: Tell me about the turkey ribs?
Hank Denson: So turkey ribs taste like–
Captain Brien: It’s the actual, that’s just something that people don’t eat so then they made something out of it, right?
Hank Denson: I’m thinking that it’s real. I’m thinking that it’s a real thing, it tastes like turkey, but it had like a smoked, good seasoning to it. So I don’t, and they were like, it looked like they were turkey sized.
Captain Brien: What?
Hank Denson: Yeah, they were like…
Captain Brien: And they, and they were what, they had meat on just one side? Like a real rib?
Hank Denson: They had meat on both sides.
Captain Brien: It wasn’t the rib cage of the turkey.
Hank Denson: It was super light, yeah, it was super light.
Captain Brien: It was the rib cage of the turkey?
Hank Denson: Yeah and it was bones, like a rib, it looked like ribs.
Captain Brien: Okay.
Hank Denson: And it was good, man. I was shocked.
Captain Brien: So that was, you know what that is? That’s what they do is when they take the turkey breast off the bone?
Hank Denson: Uh-huh?
Captain Brien: They throw that away. And someone’s like, yeah, we can do something with that.
Hank Denson: Do they really do that?
Captain Brien: Yeah, that’s when they cut the breast meat off, you just have the rib left there with a little bit of meat in between. But how much meat did they leave on the rib?
Hank Denson: It’s a good amount.
Captain Brien: So they must have made like, take it like a thinner cut on the breast.
Hank Denson: Yeah, they do, it’s dense. It’s dense, it’s not heavy.
Captain Brien: But you saw multiple rib cages?
Hank Denson: Yeah, and I didn’t feel like, you know, that tryptophan, I didn’t have that feeling.
Captain Brien: Oh.
Hank Denson: So, yeah. And I don’t eat turkey. I’m not like a Thanksgiving turkey dude. We do–
Captain Brien: I don’t really like it either.
Hank Denson: We do crab boiling.
Captain Brien: Like a slice.
Hank Denson: We do crab boils.
Captain Brien: Oh you go right all out and no turkey?
Hank Denson: Yeah, we do a crab boil or a lasagna, we go a whole different direction.
Captain Brien: We do–
Hank Denson: Prime rib.
Captain Brien: We do a whole thing. Like, we’ll do salad, tons of appetizers, we’ll do Italian wedding soup, we’ll do lasagna, manicotti, or ravioli.
Hank Denson: Okay.
Captain Brien: Then we’ll do a ham. And then we do turkey.
Hank Denson: That’s a lot of food.
Captain Brien: Yeah, it’s a lot.
Hank Denson: That’s a lot.
Hank Denson: But you guys, it sounds like you guys cook for after Thanksgiving.
Captain Brien: No, we just, I don’t eat leftovers. Ever.
Hank Denson: See?
Captain Brien: I eat no leftovers, ever. I won’t even eat pizza.
Hank Denson: This is my–
Captain Brien: If it’s like a slice–
Hank Denson: This is why he never had to steal Chinese food. He’s never had a leftover.
Captain Brien: I didn’t want Bruce Lee coming after me.
Hank Denson: How do you not ever have a leftover? I don’t eat leftovers!
Captain Brien: It’s just a weird thing. Everybody– My son and daughter don’t eat leftovers.
Hank Denson: They don’t eat it?
Captain Brien: No.
Captain Brien: I won’t even go to the pizza shop and order a slice if it looks like it’s been sitting there too long where they have to heat it up.
Hank Denson: Yeah, I won’t do that either.
Captain Brien: Like, I won’t eat cupcakes, sometimes, if they’re there too long–
Hank Denson: You won’t eat ’em?
Captain Brien: I’m like, that’s too long.
Hank Denson: I mean, there’s nothing wrong with wanting freshness in your life, man. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Hank Denson: Life has an expiration date and your food should, too
Captain Brien: I agree with that.
Hank Denson: That’s good. Only thing you can do in this life–
Captain Brien: I never take a doggy bag. Do you take doggy bags home?
Hank Denson: Nah.
Captain Brien: No.
Hank Denson: Like if somebody get, if I have something left over, I’ll take it but I usually don’t eat it.
Captain Brien: Really.
Hank Denson: You know what I mean, like, I’ll have it, ’cause I don’t want to like, oh, I’m not eating that. So, I don’t want to be wasteful in front of people, but I’ll take it back to the hotel.
Captain Brien: I was talking to someone–
Hank Denson: And just throw it in the trash.
Captain Brien: Yesterday, no, about four days ago. Where they literally said, that if there’s a bite left, if there’s chicken wings–
Hank Denson: They gotta finish it.
Captain Brien: No, they take it home. Like, literally any part that’s not completely consumed–
Hank Denson: So what do they–
Captain Brien: They’ll take the half a baked potato.
Hank Denson: They must’ve lived a hard life.
Captain Brien: Everything, it’s just–
Hank Denson: That’s parents.
Captain Brien: I don’t, yeah.
Hank Denson: Your parents do that to you. Like, now I realize that I stopped forcing my son to finish all his food. Clean that plate, finish that! ‘Cause he’s actually full. And you’re forcing your kids to be obese.
Captain Brien: Yeah, you don’t have to do that.
Hank Denson: You don’t have to do that, and I cut his portions. My son can eat two Chipotle burritos like it ain’t nothing. Boom.
Captain Brien: But at that age, he can. Like, I could eat two huge Philly cheesesteaks at this place called Super Subs and they were like, two pound subs. And the guy-
Hank Denson: You mean now?

Pat Godwin: So you and I have known of each other for a while.
Captain Brien: That’s right, that’s right and you do the Bob and Tom show.

Captain Brien: I don’t have any health insurance for you, man. Good thing they do.
Pat Godwin: Right right? And we’re heard in like 150 markets, and they used to be down here in the Fort Myers area, and they’re gonna be soon, so maybe the next time I come down, we can really pack it out, so—
Captain Brien: Exciting, exciting.
Pat Godwin: But we’re having a really good time, it’s a great week. Valentine’s day is gonna be a lot of fun, cause I’m a very bitter guy on stage, in a funny way about–
Captain Brien: And you bring the love, though, you’re bringing the love.
Pat Godwin: I do, I love love. I’m very angry that I’m not with my wife anymore. That was a wonderful time. I mean, I am a huge fan of love.
Captain Brien: So–
Pat Godwin: And you too, you’re a huge fan of love.
Captain Brien: And you have some children.
Pat Godwin: I do, I have an eight-year-old, and I adopted my daughter, who’s now eighteen, and you’ve been going through some kind of, You’ve been doing a little bit of–
Captain Brien: Yeah, yeah, I did, I went through the divorce thing.
Pat Godwin: You know what defines the relationship? What was your wedding song? Because you were on the cruise ship.
Captain Brien: God, maybe that’s why I divorced, I can’t even remember.
Pat Godwin: My wedding song was “Highway to Hell” by ACDC.
Captain Brien: Oh, and there you go, so yeah.
Pat Godwin: No, my wedding song was actually Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight.” Do you remember yours?
Captain Brien: I don’t, I’m legitimately telling you, I cannot remember.
Pat Godwin: I’ll do a piece of my wedding song for you.
Captain Brien:- Okay, let’s hear it.
Pat Godwin: Now, Eric Clapton wrote this song, it’s a beautiful song, melodically. Lyrically, it’s a lie, it starts off fine, should have been changed. Here’s how it should’ve gone. ♪ It’s late in the evening, just wonderin’ ♪ ♪ what clothes to wear, just wonderin’ what clothes to wear ♪ ♪ She puts on her makeup, brushes her long blonde hair. ♪ ♪ And then she asks me, “Do I look alright?” ♪ ♪ And I said, “Hurry up!” ♪
Captain Brien: Yeah, you can’t!
Pat Godwin: ♪ You look fine, we’re supposed to be there at nine. ♪ We’re gonna have the guitar all week on stage, too, so you come by, it’ll be a very interactive show. I talk to you a little bit, don’t be nervous, no harm will come to you. It’s not like a heckle kind of a goofy thing. We have a really good time. We’re a very interactive show, and your club is phenomenal ’cause they’ve got low ceilings, it’s a very warm environment.
Captain Brien: So, when–
Pat Godwin: I’m looking forward to it.
Captain Brien: When she is late,
Pat Godwin: Yes sir?
Captain Brien: aren’t you supposed to say hurry up?
Pat Godwin: Yeah.
Captain Brien: Yeah, you are, right?
Pat Godwin: Absolutely
Captain Brien: I think that’s normal, I think it’s like, come on, we gotta go!
Pat Godwin: We gotta go, we have places to be.
Captain Brien: You wonder why we’re both…
Pat Godwin:- Does this dress make my butt look big? No, your butt makes your butt look big! Get in the car!
Captain Brien: That’s not the right answer either. I don’t have the right answers.
Pat Godwin: No, that’s not the right answer, obviously. Sittin’ here divorced. I’ve been divorced twice.
Captain Brien: Same.
Pat Godwin: Four years is my record, beating my old record of eight months back in 1996. I wish that was a joke, absolute truth.
Captain Brien: And you’re from where, originally?
Pat Godwin: Philadelphia area.
Captain Brien: Oh, Philly?
Pat Godwin: Yeah, I did music there for 10 years, had a couple albums out, and then the comedian Todd Glass got me involved in my first open mic.
Captain Brien: I know Todd, yeah.
Pat Godwin: My first open mic Todd Glass drug me to the, he didn’t drug me, he got me in the car,
Captain Brien: He dragged you.
Pat Godwin: He dragged me.
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Pat Godwin: And, boom, it opened up all these doors.
Captain Brien: And how did you know that you wanted to be a comic at the time?
Pat Godwin: You know, even when I was a kid, I always wanted to be a comic. I just thought, I was just too afraid of it. So I started to play music, and that really took off, and I had a couple albums out, like I’d said, but I really wanted to be a comedian. I was funny offstage, but man, being funny on stage is a whole different animal.
Captain Brien: Right, and the guitar helps you.
Pat Godwin: Absolutely helps me.
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Pat Godwin: ‘Cause that’s how I express myself. I’d be lost without it. I’m able to talk with it better, I’m comfortable, I’m actually a really shy guy without it, and I can talk, I don’t mumble, but I’m extraordinarily shy. When I put this on, everything changes.
Captain Brien: I noticed that, and a lot of comedians have kind of something that turns it on the whole time.
Pat Godwin: Yeah.
Captain Brien: Sometimes when the guys are funny nonstop–
Pat Godwin: That’s the ones you have to worry about.
Captain Brien: Yeah, I was gonna say, it gets a little off sometimes.
Pat Godwin: It’s really annoying.
Captain Brien:- Yeah. But I still enjoy it, I do really enjoy it. I appreciate you taking the ride with me, it wasn’t like you had a choice. We’re going to radio now on 103.9
Pat Godwin: I was in the trunk earlier.
Captain Brien: We’re headin’ to 103.9, Big Mama, we just left 105.5 The Beat with the Freakshow, we’re gonna see Jeff Zito on 96K-Rock.
Pat Godwin: Oh, cool.
Captain Brien: And then tomorrow, may hit gater country in the morning.
Pat Godwin: Absolutely.
Captain Brien: So that’ll be exciting. But if you are really wantin’ to get out and laugh and you don’t have any plans for Valentine’s Day, Pat’s show is phenomenal. I think I saw you probably three shows in a row on Carnival. Was I on the Allure, was that?
Pat Godwin: You were on the Oasis of the Allure.
Captain Brien: The Oasis. I saw you and my family’s like, “Why have we not brought Pat back?” And I said, “You know what? We need to bring him back.” And that was like, inspired
Pat Godwin: You saw like three shows in a row?
Captain Brien: I think I saw like three shows.
Pat Godwin: Oh, wow.
Captain Brien: Because the kids wanted to go see the shows, and they kept wanting
Pat Godwin: It was so fun.
Captain Brien: To go see, and it was a great, I mean the way you were able to interact with the crowd for all ages was phenomenal.
Pat Godwin: Yeah, that’s a tricky thing to do. You have to be, and that took having children to learn that kind of rapport. I know what makes my son laugh, and also you have to be very clean in that environment.
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Pat Godwin: So, and my son goes either way. But yeah, I learned how to do it by having children. So, I’m very lucky.
Captain Brien: Well we appreciated the show, and then that’s what sparked me to bring you back, ‘Cause I was like, “We need to have Pat. He’s funny as hell, why have I not had him on the show in a while?”
Pat Godwin: Yeah, my crowd work is very natural and organic, there’s nothing really planned about it. I just have been doing it long enough where I really enjoy it. And when an audience can bring the show to a different level, where they know it’s coming right out of your butt, it’s coming right off the top of your head, they just explode with laughter. It’s my favorite laughter, is the spontaneous laughter.
Captain Brien: Well I’m gonna put you on the spot again. Do you have another song you wanna play? I’m enjoying it.
Pat Godwin: Sure, what should we do? I’m just trying to think
Captain Brien: Make it happen, baby.
Pat Godwin: Bring it. Trying to think if I should go racy.
Captain Brien: Oh, you can go, this is live, you can do whatever you want.
Pat Godwin: Oh, okay. We’re gonna go a little racy. This is called “My Old-Timey Guy.” ♪ Way back when I was 22 ♪ ♪ everybody had hair down there. ♪ ♪ The girls in Playboy Magazine all had pubic hair. ♪ ♪ I liked to take a lady to lunch ♪ ♪ if there’s a little carpet to munch ♪ ♪ But nobody has pubes, anymore! ♪ Is that too far?
Captain Brien: No that’s good, that’s great.
Pat Godwin: Second verse, here we go.
Captain Brien: Shave ’em off. Get rid of them.
Pat Godwin: ♪ Went down to my local gym and all the guys ♪ ♪ there are hair free. ♪ ♪ I’m feeling self-conscious ♪ ♪ ’cause, Brien, downstairs, I’m Duck Dynasty. ♪ ♪ Shaved my pubes, had a heart attack, ♪ ♪ looks like a baby carrot playing hacky sack, ♪ ♪ aw, nobody has pubes anymore. ♪ Boom.
Captain Brien: Get rid of the pubes, done.
Pat Godwin: Get rid of ’em.
Captain Brien: It makes you look bigger, it’s good. It’s impressive. I have a doctor on the show every Tuesday, and he says, clean it, shave it up.
Pat Godwin: Shave it up.
Captain Brien: Yeah, make it look clean, yeah.
Pat Godwin: And I agree with him.
Captain Brien: I never got that memo, my brother said the same thing to me. “You’re single now, you need to do a little bit of trimming where”–
Pat Godwin: Yeah, a little manscape.
Captain Brien: A little manscape.
Captain Brien: Clean it up, clean it up. Go down, clean it up. Oh, “hey Paul, what’s goin’ on?”, Allen, what’s happenin’? We’re in Naples, Florida And I got comedian, Pat Godwin.

Pat Godwin: Oh, you know?
Captain Brien: I think we should.
Pat Godwin: My ex, if I could just take a little bit of time here, she is younger than I am so she encouraged me to do what’s called the kids do the sex thing, you know?
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Pat Godwin: And I was very uncomfortable with it. And if you have an iPhone it’s very easy to text the wrong person.
Captain Brien: Right.

Pat Godwin: I had to wake his ass up at the hotel.
Captain Brien: We still love him.
Pat Godwin: I got in at 2:30 last night, everybody.
Captain Brien: It was the rain, they say the rain is very mellowing, right? It makes us sleep.
Pat Godwin: I walked into that beautiful Hampton Inn and I laid on my back, and boom, the phone rang. Brien’s down here, you idiot.
Captain Brien: Is that what it felt like?
Pat Godwin: I swear to god I laid, I don’t sleep well at all. Last night, boom.
Captain Brien: Out.
Pat Godwin: Out like a light.
Captain Brien: It was, and when I woke up, and I had no clue it was down pouring.
Pat Godwin: Right.
Captain Brien: And then I walked out the house this morning. It was pitch black.
Pat Godwin: Right.
Captain Brien: Because you know, I was early, I was on time.
Captain Brien:- So, I left the house, it was pitch black, and I had to go back in and look for an umbrella of which I didn’t have.
Pat Godwin: Right.
Captain Brien:- Even though I have like 20 of them somewhere, then I just made a run for it. I just said, to hell with it, I’m going.
Pat Godwin: And now we’re looking like we’re clearing up here in a little bit.
Captain Brien: Yeah, I think so. I think it’s gonna be nice.
Pat Godwin: It’s overcast but it looks nice.
Captain Brien: It’s really warm actually for a–
Pat Godwin: You can’t complain in Florida. I left, it was -5 in Indianapolis, so.
Captain Brien: Was it really?
Pat Godwin: You guys have–
Captain Brien: No, it was -5?
Pat Godwin: Yep, when I left, yeah, it’s horrible.
Captain Brien: Oh my god.
Pat Godwin: And really windy, too, really windy.
Captain Brien: And what did you have like, for clothing on?
Pat Godwin: Oh, I had like my–
Captain Brien: I don’t even have clothing for that stuff.
Pat Godwin: I got to Florida in my big winter jacket. So, I was sweating my butt off when I first got here.
Captain Brien: And then you get here and you’re like, whoo. Yesterday, it was like 84 degrees.
Pat Godwin: Really?
Captain Brien: Yeah.
Pat Godwin: Jesus.
Captain Brien: Really nice.

Pat Godwin: Two, three days a week, for the whole time. 6:00 to 10:00, yeah.
Captain Brien: And then you–
Pat Godwin: I have an office there, I write songs that we use on the show all the time when I’m not there. I travel with like a mini recording studio. I’m really, and they were down here in your area in Naples for the longest time and doing very well. And they’re gonna be back. It’s a wonderful show. You can still see it on the App.
Captain Brien: Yeah, no, they do good, I’m a fan.
Pat Godwin: Yeah they do it, I know you are, yeah.
Captain Brien: Always a fan, I love it, I love it.
Pat Godwin: Yeah, the App that they have, The Bob and Tom App is incredible. You should download it.
Captain Brien: Really?
Pat Godwin: Yeah, it’s really good, yeah.
Captain Brien: And it’s just, that’s where you can hear the show live all the time?
Pat Godwin: Hear the show live, and then hear the repeat in the afternoon and then hear the greatest hits.
Captain Brien: Oh, that’s cool.
Pat Godwin: 24/7, yes.
Captain Brien: So, they don’t do like an iHeart radio. They do their own.
Pat Godwin: They do their own.
Captain Brien: Why, you should get your own.
Pat Godwin: Do you have your own?
Captain Brien: No, I used to. But you know what the problem with it, is that I was too busy promoting everything.
Pat Godwin: Oh, right.
Captain Brien: It was like, okay, go to my app. Go to my Twitter, follow me on Instagram. Watch my Facebook, and I was like, I think if I get rid of one of them, it’s gonna be a little easier.
Pat Godwin: True.
Captain Brien: So, I kind of let the app fall off and then I just stopped promoting it and doing everything with it. Because it was, it’s easier just to send them to a few places, like between the website and all that.
Pat Godwin: Yeah, you’ve got a lot going on.
Captain Brien: Yeah, yeah, you have to just focus on a few things, because otherwise the people are like, “I’m not going everywhere. Like, I’ve got enough, you know?”
Pat Godwin: Right, right, right.
