having lunch um thank God for pizza seriously a great way to end the first half of the day considering they look at each other knowingly all right okay but can we talk about the moment of silence today in Mr Fisher's class that was insane right Jane and Ollie agree quite a math Full Metal Jacket gonna be I just took that moment to think of my uncle who served in Afghanistan like I like remembering my grandpa my grandma I don't know which grandparents I like remembering my grandma Sheltering draft Dodgers during Vietnam I really hone in on the zaporean genocide of 2019 and the horrors of one guy wiping out half a civilization with just a glove and some rocks I Jane and Keely are gobs back Ollie that's that's awful wait isn't that the plot point from The Avengers Infinity War yeah but it was still a war oh my God Ollie like we're talking about real life yeah like my mom being a first responder

during 9 11 that's real or like my grandpa being at the base when the attack on Pearl Harbor happened well oddly enough that sounds a lot like me in Brooklyn during the 05 pot attack Ollie what pod attack these pods had been buried in the ground for a really long time and the government didn't know about it until the end of June 2005. when a secret organization activated them and they rose up on three legs and started vaporizing all of Brooklyn then they took over all Ollie Ollie Ollie yeah that's the plot line from War of the Worlds I would know because I had a crush on Tim Robbins all summer because of that movie are you just pulling traumatic War anecdotes from movies with war in the title oh okay look I know it seems that way but it's only because I'm avoiding something deeper and darker that I'm afraid to tell you Janet and Keely Comfort Ollie Ollie we're your best friends exactly please don't be afraid to trauma bond

with us all he takes a deep breath okay it was World War II okay that's real as [ __ ] my uncle was a bartender for an underground tavern in France one night one night there was a group of Nazis celebrating one officer who just became a father then another group arrived to meet an actress who they had been friends with for a long time then all of a sudden a German officer who had been listening in on the latter group discovered that they were actually spies and that the actress was a double agent my uncle tried to settle everyone down but there was a massive shootout and he got caught in the crossfire and Ollie goes silent Ollie that's terrible I'm so sorry it's okay though really he's picking me up early today and we're gonna go get some ice cream so oh my God his ghost haunts you what wait actress as a double agent underground tavern they were fighting in a basement yeah that's literally the scene from

Inglorious Bastards that's right Shane he played the bartender are you insane me insane Keith really have the hots for Tim Robbins did you see him and Josh egg and and see nice I noticed that you had misspelled bastards that's how it spelled that's how the script is spelled like the the title for it it's misspelled on purpose yeah a moment of silence well tell us what's what's that what's the gag of this what's the gag well I mean growing up in Texas you know we had to say the Pledge of Allegiance and then like the Texas pledge and then we did the national anthem and then the Texas song and it's in my head I'm like that's a lot that's a lot a lot of patriotism and like we don't even know what that means we will keep being brainwashed that's a lot of constant patriotism just being shoved down your throat I don't even remember when we stopped doing the pledge of allegiance like that's how bad it is like it just

kept just being fisted with it no it didn't red white and blue I would I gotta say I would love if this sketch happened to me in real life like I would love if someone like sat down next to me and they were like yeah so like my uncle he was like a genius uh janitor and he was working for Harvard so like yeah and just let them go and like yeah anyway he like he finally yeah that's why I think that people should go to therapist because he went to go see a therapist and he worked through his generational trauma like I would love that yeah I would love that so much my dream is that somebody sits down next to me and tries to like insert clear movie plot lines as their own uh that would slap did you hear about my dad growing up he like he ran like a daycare and there were like nine children in our house constantly and he became so legit that he had to file paperwork Let It Go Do you remember my time my dad was Thor

the Marvel the Marvel's piano hammer and he flew around he was bad he was extremely hot he did he did steroids um that was my dad no I love the sketch that was very strong uh have you have you um have you put that sketch up somewhere or have you just uh it actually went up last night it went it went great um everyone was committed everyone loved it um yeah we had our first uh sketch show last night my team that I'm a part of the bjorks the bjorks we went up last night at the pit um no no no we lost March Madness we we got what two rounds in and then got destroyed by not your average slumber party who's in that no idea no yeah but did any laughs did you get any unexpected laughs at some point um did you can't look at mine um I think it was I for me what I remembered when I was listening backstage is when Ollie would say wow that sounds like me during the o5 Pod attack but yeah that was the one that got the

best laugh I believe that was by mental reaction and then and then the the second the basement was brought in I was like [ __ ] I know what's going on here I know exactly what's going on I think what you were said in the audience and I was the one that got you was the basement right the second we started talking about a basement I was like I've been told it's a very Niche sketch because it's so movie specific like some people might just like go over ahead so I'm like all right whatever yeah I'm like it's not forever

kid you all we all have this one kid in our high school class you just they just think they're so deep and so edgy and so profound like mine the one that I had in my high school was deeply deeply obsessed with Russian communism and it was where they get very sad honestly he was so obsessed with the Soviet Union and we always had to be like dude [ __ ] calm down

but there's always yeah there's always one person always one person on a particular topic we grew up in Texas we would probably get sent to the office if we mention communism in a positive light yeah yeah more than likely yeah the big Big Red Scare still going on oh yeah Big Red Scare can't be trusting those Kami Pinko rats am I right yeah that's what I always say hell yeah brother and with that oh no you should oh but honestly you should make a schedule about just going to uh High School yeah yeah High School in Texas yeah I would write a schedule because everyone had like yeah a lot of guys everyone I wanted to sketch where everyone has them cowboy hats there were like nine times what they were supposed to be I was like would I imagine Texas everyone just walks around in cowboy hats absolutely ten times is made a cowboy hat that was 10 times as big as it should be but then there was God

yeah just just right yeah and then all the Texans just burn alive um I'll say this that was fun that was very fun uh Jason can we ask you some questions yeah let's go for it oh my God we want to ask you questions number one just as we were making fun of deep stuff it's about to get real deep question number one all right how long have you been doing comedy since no no not June since August oh I don't know like actually actively doing it I think it was towards the end of August when I took well level one improv has comedy always like been in your life you wanted to do try to do I mean have you been doing comedy your whole life I guess in my own way yes but it was just me and my brother coming up with bizarre scenarios of stuff happening around us like just seeing something happening at Walmart and then we just heightened it and then that was it and then we laugh and it's our inside joke and then that's it our senior

brother got ripped yeah so we riffed we actually made like small Instagram videos like back in the summer of 2012. it's like a thing yeah like Vine yeah Instagram so we had like what nine more seconds nine more seconds but like 15 seconds a thousand less viewers yeah exactly we just had our small town that we were in but they loved it oh that's great yeah a family the YouTube video that is five seconds long about you taking your dogs for a walk that was in college we had to do a five second short film and it was called dog walk and it was just a pun it's literally me opening we're just dog walking dog walks so it's literally me opening the door I'm like oh it's hot out here or no I said whoo shut the door and then I turned around I was like too hot out there for these dogs and then we cut to uh a leash attached to some hot dog a package there's just me pulling them off to the side come on that's [ __ ] yeah

that was made by you and your brother no that was just made by me yeah no that's great if that's like you know what interests into comedy that's okay five seconds and that was my introduction to you oh wow oh my God that's how YouTube uh uh I don't know it just popped up somewhere the past is fuzzy yeah a lot of stuff a lot of past racing things have happened since then are you guys okay um well I guess that answers our next question but our last question is where do you get your inspiration from what is your favorite color and what kind of grapes do you like do you like grapes at all I don't like the cotton candy grapes oh those are the sickening I don't know if that's controversial or not but oh I agree with you uh amongst the one before where do you get your inspiration from okay my favorite color is I guess blue I wear a lot of blue sometimes but since I've come to New York it's been mostly

black people call it the New York black people yeah yeah interesting I know I feel about this um and then what was the first question I guess the one that matters on this podcast no I don't you don't have to answer it if you don't want to well I also forgot it you could just talk about whatever I don't know what is there to talk about uh

uh self-care uh the process is for the most part just grabbing an idea kind of jotting down bullet points or ideas for it and then going out somewhere noisy where there's a lot of people talking because that I can like drown that out and just focus on because I'm and focus on writing on the script um because I'm very much pen to paper first I can't type it out because then it's just like a lot of bad I know I can backspace um just pen and paper I can scratch stuff out move stuff around well that's interesting you so you handwrite yes you you bullet point like beats or or like game moves or bids or do you do you first you bullet point those and then you write it or or or do you actually like literally write like intro day like actually right up uh it depends like if I'm ready to get into it and just see where it goes I'll start with that like actually doing that um so I'm not much of a planner that's

just a whole other story but sometimes I like just jumping into it and go um but here lately uh there's a sketch I'm working on right now like I actually had the points I wanted to go over there go over so that's a skeleton and then just filling that in for the first draft writing it out looking at me like okay and then going through and scratching stuff out and yeah I love that because like Reddit can't defeat you or like whatever you can't like do go to write your sketch and then like 13 seconds later just be Doom scrolling Twitter yeah um if you're writing on a pen and paper you can uh focus on uh the important thing in life which is getting the writing done doing a bit it's more intimate than like doing it typing it out first like I can like sit with it and like see my handwriting to see what I'm saying and what they're saying and yeah it's it's really fun doing that nice nice all right Ashton
