Put the real in reality

Hey folks I am back to talk a little about last comic standing because it seems like some people don't know it is fake. By fake I mean that the show is cast and some of the out comes of the votes are fixed. I hate that they portray the show like anybody can be on the show when they can't. The worst part is comics that are extremely funny some times they use out of context clips to make them look like assholes. It is funny to talk to people after the show who say you should go be on that show like it is as easy as just walking into NBC and saying OK I would like to be on last comic standing where are the cameras? FYI some people are really stupid. It would be like someone walking into a hospital saying I love fixing people where do I start. It was kinda real in the first season when Dave Mordal was on and look what happened Dat Phan won. By the way Dat winning was a fix job too. FOX wanted to do a show with Dat so they told NBC if he won they would pay the prize money and tada Dat wins, when we all know Dave Mordal or Ralpie Mae should have.

Funny side story my buddy Jeff was in LA short time after Dat won he was playing Hollywood Improv and he was headlining and right before he was to on stage Chris Rock walks in and asks to go on for 5 mins which meant 40 mins. So Dat says sure go on warm them up for me so Chris killed and after he was done the entire crowd got up and left except for Jeff and his 3 friends and they sat there to force Dat to do 45 mins just to see him sweat and he said it was so sweet cause they were Dave Mordal fans and hated Dat Phan.

But now after that first season the people at NBC have realized that the only way the show can succeed is to put half famous well established comics on which is a great idea just don't pretend it is American idol and anyone can be on the show cause they can't. I mean they can be on the beginning parts where they make you look like a douche bag but who wants that? Funny enough some comics do. They were on the show for only like 18 seconds and got made fun of and they are really excited and put it on their resume.

So to those people that ask me when you gonna be on last comic standing unless I become managed by NBC probably never. Keep supporting live stand up comedy cause it is where comedy really happens where it is raw and uncensored and to tell you the truth there are so many funny talented comics out on the road who will never be on TV because of nothing more than they are never in the right place at the right time. Keep laughing Chubby!!!

My ass hurts.....Thanks Cupid!

Well boys and girls it has happened Mr. P is smitten with a lady caller. I met her in Columbus Ohio of all places and she lives in Minnesota. She is amazing after a string of dating a ton of unavailable women what ever it was divorced, married, single mom, too far away, too many crazy pills, and just plan straight fucking nuts I started to give up. Then here walks in a gorgeous woman with a smile that could light the world to kick my life up a notch as the kids say. Her name is Anita and I find her intoxicating. (I know this blog is not that funny but I am trying to get laid so bare with me) it is just amazing. I think I became so obsessed with finding the right woman I think I became a little egotistical and did not believe that she would find me and guess what it happened.
So here is the story I am in Columbus working at the comedy club there and those of you that say fate is not real get ready to have your mind blown. So she loves Ohio state football she goes to Columbus a ton it is one of her favorite cities, she is there for work with a friend they walk by the comedy club says lets see the show. I go on stage and 3 mins into my set I say I'm from Minnesota (which I never say on stage) she cheers and decides I need to talk to this guy. After the show we chat about Minnesota have a drink there is an instant connection. The city she most loves in the world next to her home town of Warroad, MN she finds me there, it still blows my mind. It has been almost 3 months and we are really happy I even went to Warroad and met her mom and friends and she met my family. We have laughed, cried, kissed, lived, more in the last 3 months then I have with all my past relationships combined and for those that think that I have gone off the deep end suck it cause I am going off the deep end with an amazing woman.

Thanks for finding me Anita.

An Appleton a day does not keep the doc away

I just got back home with great memories, a little money and possibly strep throat. The story starts on last Thursday I am working at the Skyline Comedy Club in Appleton, WI with Tommy Thompson from Minneapolis and Mario Digorgio from Austin both really funny guys it was a great show all week. So a group of ladies invite us to a bar named "Mr. Bigs" sounds like fun already, then they said the magic world "free drinks" yeah and I said magic "word" they were drunk. So we went so we could get some good stories and we did. We walk in pandemonium....ah life on the road. So the lady in charge says one free drink apiece so we drank then before I knew it that one turned into 7. Then this big drunk man goes to tap me on the shoulder which meant running full speed into me, apparently it was shot time, I do a yag bomb cause tequila make me throw up. Afterwards he wants to talk about comedy and his friend is so drunk he sounds like Brad Pitt in Snatch so I just walk away while he is in mid sentence he just turned and continued the story to his friends. I get back to my seat to find and older lady lets call her 109 wanting to work over the big man great but sorry don't do zombies. We chat and I said she had a nice tooth and she took this to mean we should get naked so we drink more she gets louder and more grosser then I realize it is time to not talk to her so I walk away. We decide were gonna leave she hugs us all and plants a cadaver kiss on me which I can only compare to the dementors kiss in harry potter and we left. The next morning I wake up with throat herpes thanks lady from Titanic. Friday and Saturday at the club I was sick delusional and not as funny but I pulled through and here I sit at home now a new hot girl friend who is amazing living ten minutes from me and I can't kiss her till I get the results from my strep test awesome thanks again for the throat herpes crypt keeper till next time.....chubby!!!

Dodge City and the ride home.....

So last time I left you stoner and the fat man had split and I was on my way to dodge city Kansas the home Wyatt Earp. The show was crazy the whole crowd was Mexican the owner was Mexican and the headliner was Mexican and here I am mister whitie. I went up gave them my best stuff and I thought I died a horrible death I got off and the owner came up to me and said I quote "you a funny some bitch" yeah he said "some" and I said but they didn't laugh at all to which he replied well most of them don't speak English so don't worry about it but you killed then he bought 6 smilf shirts so i put that in the win column.
After dodge city I made the long drive home to have two weeks off from comedy. People ask what do you do with two weeks off I cleaned caught up on some work and spent a lot of time with my nephew I also babysat a couple times that was fun we went to the zoo and chuckie cheese the kid is awesome. It is amazing when you stop moving for awhile and realize where your life has gone how many things can change in that moment. Needless to say when I headed back on the road last week for my first gig in 17 days my life was quite a bit different in a good way new energy to take on comedy new jokes and a new lady in my life. So here I am back on the road I am at the skyline comedy cafe in Appleton Wisconsin this week one of my favorite clubs in the world the show rocked last night and I got heckled by a woman from Montreal Canada. It is good to be back. Get ready for some crazy road stories cause I have a feeling it is gonna be good.

The Last Ride?

Hey Folks I just got doing a Stoner and the Fat man tour a show I co-wrote with Joe Cocozzello 3 of our songs from the show are on my new cd which drops Tues it was suppose to drop this week but I missed spelled Jagermiester so we had to stop the presses and redo it was my bad but stoner and the fat man one of the coolest shows ever and last night was no diffrent. We did 2 nights aberdeen and brookings aberdeen was fun brookings got a little crazy we were sent so many shots I lost count 3 wise men, girl scout cookie, red headed slut, jag bombs, tequila man I still hurt we sang songs that we never wrote and ended up in the bar kitchen eating ribs that were in a mans pocket (things you'll eat when you are drunk) I gave away shirts to people who bought me booze wild night awesome end to the tour.
Joe is moving to New york in a week and Stoner and The fat man are breaking up for now it is kinda sad but don't cry something tells me the stoner and the fat man will ride again. I have so much fun traveling with Joe it is never with out excitement. Today he needed to get home I needed to get to dodge city Kansas so Joe had to rent a car but had no credit card so I rented it and he drove it to Minneapolis talk about nerve racking I'm driving to Kansas Joe is driving my rental car to the Minneapolis airport I call him every 10 mins. So we came up with our drop the car off plan, he pulls in grabs his stuff drops keys in the box and runs doesn't stop for anything long story short it worked and I ended up making it to dodge city. Joe cracks me up he seems so world savvy then again he has no credit card no debit card and has never rented a car but he can sniff out greasy spoons and free cigarettes like a blood hound. Anyways I am hung over and going to bed oh and by the way I am not sure if letting some one drive your rental car is a felony so if any cops are reading this, these are just jokes tee hee.

The Birth Place of The Large Drunk Man

Hey everybody this week I am working one of my favorite clubs one liners in greenwood, IN 10 miles outside of Indianapolis where I fell out of a vagina or was born. I have been working this club for 5 years now and it is also one of the last clubs in the country where you can smoke inside imagine that folks! Yes I was born in Indiana raised in Minnesota from the age of 2. I just spent some time at my favorite hang outs on the road walmart holy lord people need help i saw a women buying a 300 count of tampons and a 30 pack on toilet paper and I stared she said got to stock up the economy is going bad. Yes I know but why tampons and toilet paper wouldn't you think water and food but maybe she has some lower half body problem. I mean what am I talking about I was standing behind her with chips and twisslers I have my own problems. I just wish people would stop believe everything they see on TV like is Gospel people tell half truths and people do lie on TV. Before comedy I worked in TV news in St Paul for 4 years I watched people push important stories down in the news cast so they could get a shooting on first "if it bleeds it leads" true statement in TV news. They say things are running short gas, food, water and we go buy a ton of it hello that is the scam. I guess the moral of this entry is buy water and can goods not tampons and toilet paper save the trees.... Anyways signing off from Indy chat later.

Journey to the SMILF'S

I am on the edge of finnally finishing my third comedy album in 7 years if you think about it a pretty amazing feat. The album is finished I am just in the final part of approving the album art and text it is gonna be the best album yet I am really proud of it. Not only does it have a full 30 mins of live stand up it also has 35 mins of funny songs with a ton of colaborations with other hilarious comics including Rob Brackenridge and Joe Cocozzello who helped create one of the most popular road shows I have ever been a part of called "The Stoner and the Fat Man" can you say standing o in grand junction colorado (I know it is like getting a blow job from a fat girl but still enjoyable). But the album will also include a full length dvd with an hour of stand up and an hour of clips of my in various commercials and the two indy movies I did like "Attack of the Killer Snow Cone Zombies" you heard right. My album drops May 13 so look for it. This has been a 2 year journey and it is exciting and sad it is almost finished but it has been 4 years since my last album this thing is gonna bring the thunder chuddy!!
