Also, what makes our relationship complex is that his best friend such roommate, whatever I dated and we got very close. Yes. We're very close but then one day the relationship ended and then I never saw you again. That's the way it usually goes here in New York or you're listening from but that's the way it goes. So the only way I could see you in it not be weird is their business through business and we're two businessmen, you know, a very business orientated are we? Yeah, I think so. I think we're competitive we are we're competitive but you more than me, I think because you are at a higher level of competition than when I competed I was I was one of the guys you would just drill With to get I would get people like you better, you know, I mean that the a-listers well, those people are important and thank you for come on Martin. Why are you being so nice to me? Call me an a-lister immediately. Are you here warming me up your tennis your tennis pedigree speaks for itself unreal. And Mike is a was a former wrestler. I'm a wrestler and I think wrestling and Tennis a very similar because you're alone out there individual sports. Yeah, you have to have a certain amount of mental toughness for both and I also think that but then again you Millennials wouldn't get that. You're probably on Snapchat right now turning yourself into a bunny Michael. Yeah, when I first started this podcast you were fucking around in your Twitter. So don't come at me about snap. Well, no, I have to Market myself. I have to get these followers now. Well, then it's a new world. Now you're on my podcast. I don't fuck it up and maybe some will follow you. All right stand up comedians. It's similar to wrestling or 10 inches in you're out there alone. Right you're out there alone and it's nobody's fault, but yours hmm. You have to figure it out. It's true. You can't walk off there and be like, oh, well, some people try to blame the audience, but I Them. Yes, but deep down well deep down. You're like, how can I flip this? You know, I mean, they're terrible they are what they are. They're the there what they are. So now I have to change what I'm doing. So recent episode. I interviewed a big-time DJ. Yeah, and I was asking him about performance anxiety and stuff and he said if you try to get everyone to like you and in the space, it's going to be very difficult. But if you try to win over the people in the front, you'll see that their energy then becomes contagious, but I don't know if that's the same with comedy right? Well, it's not because those Guys have ecstasy helping them. What I read you kids are out there eating cat tranquilizers. I don't know what's going on in the club's anymore tired cats. Is that what you guys want to be now? Is that fun? I love a tired cat. It's pretty much my day today. What's going on at I know I'm getting old. I don't even know what's happening. But I Kids I remember when I went on my first date with my ex-roommate. We I had he starts calling mr. A mr. X he spoke so highly of you and if you want to get in with the guy God I went over his room. How was that it was a strategy. It wasn't genuine. I'm an athlete. I'm a competitor. I see the world as a game and I'm like, who's the next guy? Got a takedown you come walking in all innocent and that's why I went on a boat for your birthday. Not because you really wanted me to was that the weirdest experience, you know, it was something else I wasn't gonna go though. It's like, all right. Well, you know, I understand he's got to go or he's going to go and it's going to be fun for you and your friends, but it's like but you really made this. Is heartfelt speech like like hey, you're one of my friends and I think that we're going to be friends for a long time and I would like you to come and I'm like, you know, what now? I can't deny that. Yes, I will come and then we never talked again till right now. You feel like betrayed. Yeah trade by me. Yes. I had a hard time getting up here, too. I didn't know that we were going to be doing this in the World Trade. I thought we were doing it at your summer home anyone. Are you watching summer house? I don't know. Can we talk about this in the hot tub? Maybe you'll learn about some Millennial stuff and become educated on I know when you invite people out to dinner, you should invite everybody out to dinner and not let some people cook at home because then it's not very fun for them. So you just came first episode listen know about summer home. Okay, people hooking up with other people fuck boys, you know, I don't know. I don't know how I feel about ever do reality TV. I don't know. I mean, I did a reality. I did a reality stand-up show. That's Comic Standing standing was so good. It was like before Or comedy was like fun and cool on Netflix, right? You got some he's twice didn't you? Yeah, Sammy - Sammy right now. Hello Michael. Anyway speaking of sex when I was friends with you before our break up because I broke up with you to honestly I never got even see you. Yeah, would you have liked a nice like text or would that be weird now when it been weird either way now would have been weird. It would have been fine. It was fine that it didn't happen though because I understand the nature of it. It's about Out like it's I mean, it's not like I'm very very close with him. Yeah, these were very close and I love him like a brother but others as well. I love him like a brother. So it's I understand the complexities of it on both ends and I still say to this day most mature breakup I've ever seen in my life really on both of your parts. Really? Yes, very very mature very very clean. Very very like no but no anger. No kind of like maybe there was underneath it all but like on the surface he It was handled in a very very mature. I was almost jealous of how mature it went. You know, I mean there actually was Zero anger involved because when you care about someone Yeah, there's no Angry. There was frustration I think but I just wanted to win you over to like win him over but then somehow and I was a pawn in your game. But somewhere I started you know, how you're like fuck. I'm stuck with the remote on the couch while he's like taking a poop. Well, I like enjoyed my time with you and I really got a friend and I really want you to come to my birthday that time because I wanted to surround myself with people are important to me. Um, but it did suck that we broke up as well. When you were with when I was dating him, right you were single. Yes, you were actually if I remember I in kind of a dark time because I went through a breakup and it was every I tell you what I've been in a number of relationships every one of them is hard to break up from even whether I broke up with them. They broke up with me. It's hard on me because I'm emotional and I would yeah healthy. Well, no, I give like, you know, I'm not like faking it like I'm really in it if I'm going to spend the time I'm very much. H in it, so when it ends I'm destroyed a little bit and very husband material and you were kind of the Third Wheel who was single and I was like, I don't know if I was a third wheel, but I was there. Yeah, I mean when were watching hey Trent or watching Game of Thrones your kind of like on the outskirts. Yeah. I'm kind of in Dorne emotionally, it's good. That's pretty solid. Did you think we were going to make it I thought I thought I would have to start looking for a place to live soon because I'm like She's on I didn't know first of all, I didn't know I was being used as a pawn genuinely liked me. So I'm a little hurt by that right now, but I thought oh, this is she's great. She's a great person. He's fucking great. I love him. So this know there's no way this is not going to go. So I just I was like dude, just give me I told him I'm like, just give me some time to find a place to live in. Oh, yeah, so well now I have a studio apartment in Queens. Is now I really am in Hunters Point you left your old place. Huh? Left my old place in Midtown Manhattan. Are you still in Astoria under the under the train and the train still the same so we would watch TV and have to turn the volume up to hear something but there's something beautiful and Rob about that to make you, you know have a little chip on your shoulder when you're on stage. Yeah now, I mean we live you know, the way that we live we live like Anna Barracks. We we train like at the dojo we live like it's in a barracks and we both of us are Working-class guys. So like the money is it comes and it's going good. You know, it's good, but we're not I'm not a material guy. So, you know, it just is what it is whether I have a lot of money obviously, I'll better my living situation, you know, in terms of like material things incrementally as I need them, but I'm not a flashy. I'm not a jewelry guy like I'd like nicer clothes. Obviously. I feel like if you wore a gold bracelet people would definitely think you're in the mafia. Yeah. Wow. No, there's not that many people in the mafia anymore. Most of those people are in jail. Maybe it means you could like be a leader now like you can take over. Yeah. Well, I'm from the judeo Christian kind of things like you should not murder people but thanks thought Hannah no idea thrown out recommendation. So you were sending a lot about you and podcast were you really doing that? Where were you really like trying to get into my good graces so that you could flip me I love how we can't move on from like a move on that wasn't I meant that I wanted you to like me right regardless if I liked you. I knew I needed to get you to like me. I didn't know you were that premeditated. I just thought you were a good person. No, I'm not a good person. I'm very premeditated. No, I think I'm premeditated as a good person. Murder, sometimes you'll kill you kill to get what you want. Exactly. I have a Killer Instinct. That's what my coach has said about me. So watch your back. Wow, um you were single and desperate at the time. Yeah. I don't know about desperate you putting words in my mouth right now is if I wasn't desperate there was some insecurity there because I thought the relationship was kind of gonna go and it didn't and okay. So now I have to pick up the pieces and my insecurities stemmed from online dating. I'm not I don't like it. I didn't like it I swipe together. I didn't like the Nature of it. I didn't like the nature of I really have a hard time handled handling the nature of the way that it is now, which is like you don't even see the person you feel like you're being tricked half the time and then you start texting to the person had some persons doing it like a job. Yeah. It was it's trust issues caused by the nature of dating it's wife together. And if the girl like wasn't showing one part of her body, he was like, I don't know what's happening there. We can't trust this or she'd say one thing like I like nature and he'd be like Psychopaths. Yeah, she'd be like I'm a teacher who likes to spend time on the beach. You were like psycho. Yeah, I just think it was like too many times of like I'm like looking at the pictures. I'm like, they're doing this at a certain angle. There's a bunch of filters. Like I know this is not real and I don't like to waste my time. So how the fuck did you get out of that kind of single spiral? I like to call it where you know, you start getting you're not motivated to go on dates. You kind of feel like everyone's Gonna Let You Down Right starting to feel alone starting to feel like are you the one with the problem have to deal with your parents worry? Spiral I'm too old to deal with my parents my parents have they gave up a long time. Actually, my father died. That's how he gave up. Okay, and then my mother is still there, but they're like, they're not given up there just like whatever it is. We know you're okay. You made it this far. Yeah, keep coming, but I bounced back motherfucker Prospect pretty good. But now I don't know. I just said, you know you is gonna sound corny so you could say when you least expect it how you meditate you work on yourself you meditate it's not meant to to be life is not meant to be fun all the time and a party all the time. They're downstairs down times and there's times when you're supposed to be alone does the times you work on yourself to be a better person meditation Hot Yoga, you know, I got you look like you work out get a good balance in life work hard at your career you're passionate about and then it'll come or might not come. You know, I mean, but like whatever maybe That's Not Meant For Me Maybe that's not meant for me to be with somebody or you know, whatever. Maybe I meant to be single. A long time. Well, I like the idea of your where you are is where you're supposed to be at that moment and people always talk about like if you're single and means you're searching and it's like maybe it's healthy to be alone and be single at the time so you don't settle for someone where your mental state is at that moment. Right instead. When you evolve yourself you actually get with the person that you're meant to be long-term. So, how'd you meet this chick? I knew her from stand-up comedy a long time ago. So she was already in Savannah. I knew her but we didn't operate in And the same circles but I remember her years ago. I was I thought she was cute. So I was like I asked her friend, you know, I was single at the time so I asked her friend. I'm like hey, how about her and she's like well, let me check so she checked he's like nah, she's dating someone. I'm sorry. So I was like, all right. I took the loss and then I just figured that she was always with somebody and then we're at Montreal over the summer in July and I found that she was not dating anybody so I made the move and it was like a because she's so like she was so nice and a hard worker and all this stuff like and we knew each other from Comedy as friends it took being like a little more bold to let her know like look. I'm trying to fuck you like this is not like this is not like oh I want to help you with like let's look at our notes together and write like I don't like that that yeah kind of like me. We're not like yeah during her for calculus and trying to like you got to have some balls, but you have some balls into look. I'm trying to fuck you but then When you do that, you have to sacrifice the Friendship. Well, it's not just that but you have to expect you can't be bitter if it comes back as a rejection. If you go, look I'm trying to fuck and she's like look, I'm not into that at all. You have to be okay with that. You can't be a bitch about it. Like you took the step. She she rejected you and now you got to sit in it. I take it and not be a baby about it. A lot of guys can't do that a lot of guys and I understand why they can't take it. They can't take it coming back and you have any words to Millennial men. I feel like you're coming at some. Alright now. Hey, look I wasn't raised in this technology age. So it's a whole different doors open and if I was raised with it, it would I'm sensitive. I'm a sensitive guy. So it would have affected me. I can sit here and say oh this would have known all this Twitter and online bullying. This will never would have affected me. It's like that's bullshit. I Know Myself and I know I'm sensitive. I know it would have affected me and I mean getting rejected constantly on apps. I mean, that's it mate like I was doing it it made me better. So it's like I'm no better than anybody you come from a good Emily so it's like you have to kind of have a strong Foundation whether you get that from your family or whether you develop it over time that helps you navigate all of this technology and this fly-by-night stuff. Like you have to have a good foundation order to navigate it. How do you think she differs from girls you've dated in the past? Well, it's similarly to some of the girls. I didn't that she's very smart and very pretty. I'm very attracted to her. So that's because you can say I'm very shallow. I'm can only do the prettiest. I am just trying to get to Teddy that's now I'm she's very smart. She's very I'm very attracted to her. So that's like an important, you know, right from the job like you think you've tried to make things work before with people you are kind of attracted to but wanted didn't want to be alone. Yeah, it was one of these things where it's like yeah, I was I was attracted to them but it wasn't at the level that it needed to be. Also. I feel like you just and I think that maybe I was like that for some women to like I was like, oh this guy's a good guy and you know, but it maybe he's not what I need. Yeah, you want to obviously cuz I've been dumped you want to feel like that person would do anything to touch you and be around you because it's like then we might as well just be friends right have a great emotional connection unless you want to fuck me all the time. Right, right. That's a beginning give it a dopamine hitting if you're not fucking all the time. There's something wrong. Wow. Sorry, I'm passionate about that. If you're not fucking like rabbits, I don't care if you're 56 or 26 question yourself. Wow. I didn't know you became a gangster rapper. I said the 20-minute Mark do you like how she smells? Yeah. We're getting to the creepy. Do you collect her hair and put it in your pocket? That was very pretty and and got a lock on it came from like a good family like good place and in the way that she's approaching the business end of the comedy the way she's doing it is the right way to do it. So speaking of Comedy a lot of comedians put their foot down say I'll never date another comedian. I did that you did do that didn't do it. You did you did absolutely did I did so what change you just were like, I need to stop I saw her and I was like, I have to take a A chance at the take a chance with her I'm too she's too pretty like I'm too attracted to her. So I have people listening after risk, why did comedians not date well with other comedians there's a lot of reasons it helps in a lot of ways because you understand each other schedule and all that. But in in another way you're kind of running the same race. So it's like you're but I'll tell you what's really helped me with that living with your ex has really helped me as a person. I genuinely love who when I moved in. To the apartment. He was a waiter. I had a special on Comedy Central you're running the same race of him. So well, we're in the same word in the same field and he's a guy who's approaching the business the same way that I am which were in it were in it full time. I need a percent. Are you in it minute? We're in it. I don't know if I mentioned that but it's like you love somebody and then you see them Excel and deserve everything he gets he deserves like the he's the one guy where like the industry is getting it right with him. Unbelievable when your job is to someone you can see that I think jealousy stems from when you just see someone on Instagram get something and you're like, that's not fair. I work hard too, but you see his day-to-day. Yeah, but it jealousy is the wrong word. It's almost like he deserves everything he's getting and I've had this with her friend. He deserves it and God bless him. I Him to win but I also want to win to like I'm putting in the I'm putting in these hours and it's not opening up for me the way that it's opening up for him. So jealousies the right jealous. He's like I want to tear this person down. They don't deserve that's the wrong. He deserves it. Absolutely but it's like, you know, it's almost like a mirror being held up to yourself where it's like am I doing something wrong? Like why is this not opening up for me the way that it's opening up for him? We're just different people but I felt like it was a tough time too. Because like I was dating him and his stuff was really hot at the time and I felt like he had a relationship. Except he had like the specials coming out and the TV show and I felt like you're constantly reminded that yeah every day you walk into the apartment no matter how mentally strong you are. You still can start getting because I know you're tough at yourself. Yeah, because I'm the same way like growing up as an athlete you get criticized a lot. So the voice inside your head can be extremely critical. It's like someone do something well and you might not be jealous of him, but you're like, come on. What are you doing? Right? What are you doing? Yeah. It's like yeah, that's exactly what it's a reflection of like. Okay. It's He's doing the right things and it's working out for him. Like you are you doing the right thing is to start looking at yourself more. It's like are you doing the right things? It seems like you're doing the right things and then it's and he and then which belief in you to write with like, yeah, he would say if I was doing something wrong right would help me I would ask him. I would be like look, I'm do people think I'm a hack like I you don't know sometimes you're not self-aware. So it's like you need that help where it's like, what do you think he would have liked talks about you a lot actually because we both had a mutual love. Love for you. So I be like, how's he doing? What the strategy what's going on? But I love being able to talk to you now. Like I don't know your tooth is gone by yeah, how do you think you've changed since I last met you? Well, I've been through that period and I've got to say something about the internet like the internet's very bad. If you float towards the wrong things. There's a lot of like if you're just drifting on the internet you can get dragged this so many weird energies that really you don't need be very very negative and bet you even if you're just drifting through and you don't mean to follow you're going to fall When did something bad and dark wormholes? It's bad. But the upside to that is there so much information available on how to better yourself mentally and spiritually and how the mind in the body are connected all this stuff. So I just focus on that keep hitting that and then I'm like look, I'm in the position. I'm in which is a good position. Actually, you know what I mean and just keep trying to better yourself and keep coming and then wherever it lands it lands, you know, I mean like it's almost like if the let go a little bit and go like do you can't control the result you have to it's like inviting boxing if you're trying to throw a punch and you you squeeze as hard as you can the punch is not going to hit well as if you're loose and feeling and trusting your body trying to touching the mental like stamina of it all but that's not to say don't try like it's a thing like I don't know in yoga. It's a thing where it's like, I'm not very flexible. I told you this before, you know why I'm not very flexible and and whatever but I try real hard in the class and that's really what the important thing is. See because mentally, you know, how You can push it. You're the one who knows. Well, we always bonded over yoga. I liked it because I was a beginner at it and my whole life I was doing things where people put so much expectation of me and there's so much judgment on the result. But yoga was this place that I got to have that beginner mindset, which is actually so beautiful that human people human people don't like being beginners, right uncomfortable. Yeah, but with yoga, I would do things I'd struggle with but actually have the satisfaction of improvement and not having to like hit a result. I think if day-to-day you Hassan that little Improvement you feel good about yourself because you know, you tried even if I try I was just getting out of bed when you're depressed. Yeah, I like that. Also the thing which I think I would have been much better wrestler. If I would have done it when I was wrestling because I was good for who I was you know, I wasn't the best athlete in the world, but I was I was tough but it's being in the states where it's like high stress in the class. Your heart is going out of control and and connecting to your breath of controlling your mind. Is important because it translates very well to life is going to be times. You know, we're people are down on you and it seems like you're losing and it's like you just take a breath and control your mind young. I didn't realize I could control my mind. I thought that once the court happened. It was just like things were happening to me and I was in survival mode. I didn't realize that if I could control my breath and if I could control my thoughts that the result would change. I just thought it was happening to me because I wasn't mature enough to realize that That my mind didn't have to control me. Yeah, I mean that's a thing. I mean, I don't know I wasn't I was raised well and I think my parents did a good job. It's like stuff like that. Like I mean, I don't know how you just learned that on the way I think but also that's why I want to have this podcast is to talk to people and be like, hey, I experience what it's like to not control your mind. And then I learned how do an improved a lot of shit. There's a good thing like in it for women because I know there's women out there who might be listening who were like, I'm I'm frustrated and dating like I'm not dating the right guys, and I'm tired of it. I'm tired of they're good people and they're strong people but it's a thing where you have to make sure whether you're frustrated with your dating world of your frustrating with your career. It's you have to do it for the sake of doing a good job and for your own self satisfaction of doing a good job. You can't tilt towards bitterness and there's and it's very very easy to get better and those situations so If you are one of those people who get is getting bitter, like stop yourself and breathe into and be like, there's no it's not fair at work. There's no justice. I can't like these guys are all morons. Like they don't like me for who I am. They want something else you it makes you feel a certain kind of way, but you're like don't be self aware of that and don't tilt towards bitterness as the energy you put out in the world affects your interactions, right? Like you might just be in your head about being better, but that conversation in your head is actually like people will be affected by right and if you can stay positive and I know that like you're trying your best you're doing your thing that energy attracts people. Do you feel like your energy was in a good place when you met your girl? Yeah. Can I was just like moment when I was just going to be like I'm going to let it go. I'm just kind of let it go. I'm just gonna like I was dating more than when when when you are around you I was dating more I kind of like not really dating but like, you know, whatever hooking up so I was in a pretty good place because I was like, You said you put yourself out there and you're like many to put themselves out there more. What did you do? What was the line told him I said I told her I'm like look up because we were friends there a moment that you felt like you had an opening or you just like Bulldogs. I just bulldozed because I'm like, we're just going to stay parallel as friends and I'm not smooth and I'm not so did you feel any sense from her that she was for your very smooth Michael? I'm not that smooth, but I'm like, I'd rather be clunky and honest. Yeah, then smooth and I didn't kind of Deceit Honesty will always come out better. And being weird and manipulative, but it's a double-edged sword because if your if your clunky and honest and you get rejected, then you have to sit in it and there's no there's no but with way around it risk comes great reward. We're just it does random quotes right now. That's true. Did you get out? Who's on Twitter? Do you ever say? Oh you want to come at me right now? Actually you guys were on Twitter and I'm like, these guys are fucking loser. ER and then I got a Twitter because for summer house they were like you should go to Twitter and then I just started tweeting and it was fun. And then I realized I like posting tweets rather than focus on myself. And then the rest is history. Did you get a set should have a Tory of a lot to say I do have a lot of thoughts that need to be heard by a lot of Indian princes that follow me. Did you get a sense a little sense that she could be into it too or did ya find her friend told me she was attracted to me. So I got a big like Her friends were like it was like, oh she's into it. She strikes me. Okay, so I was like, I just assumed she always had a I just assumed she had a boyfriend. Yeah, and they're like, oh no, I was like, okay. Well, I got it I have to and even then it was like it was she wasn't giving me a flirty Vibe so I had to like, but I kind of like that because I feel like some of the girls you'd be with were because they just be like all over you and you wouldn't have time to think of your attracted her to decide to use in your fans with her you Why do you think our personalities are compatible because I think that's important. All right, describe it we just get along very well as friends because it's as the sex, you know, it's inevitable that the sex is going to fade into some so you're just gonna evolve evolve evolve is the right word. Eventually. It's gonna fade it's gonna whatever it's not going to be as exciting as it was so that newness is going to so you're left there with a person and you have to genuinely like Person and the me they always were a person you have to get along be able to get along and be able to function. I don't know when I don't know what I'm saying. I haven't been that far like I've never been married. So well, you can't quite the life just to like you were a teacher a special education teacher after college which I which I did enjoy, you know what I mean? Like I was I was just talking to her about it and I was like, I approach it the same way. I approach everything like I worked real hard at it a good relationship with my kids like try to connect with the Parent I love when you talk about your kids. Yeah, I loved it. Let's go remember so many of them have because they're on Facebook the like hi. Mr. Vic what's going on? Mr. Beck? So they come see your shows ever they did when I was in Philly. That's so and I'm a high school kids came to one of them, but it's great now on Facebook, they hit me up with messages. Hi. Mr. Beck, what's going on? Mr. Veeck? How you doing? Mr. Vic? Mr. Veeck? Why not? Come back to me? Mr. Beck? Why not? Get back to me and then I get back to him and I'll be like it's frustrating when somebody Asking you a question. You don't answer right now, you know how I feel. And you read it. Then you realize that you hate all children. And then you went into comedy. Is that what happened? That's it. Now, I'm the comedy thing just happened. I came out of a relationship another one. That was it. That was a big one that was down where it was. Like I thought we were gonna get married and I came out of it and I think comedy was an option at the time so why I came out of it just because it was more like 24 or something. Yeah, 20 25 26 and it just didn't seem like an options like oh, this is too much running around for no money. Like I'm gonna be in a You know relationship like I have to bring home money and try to work on my career men have that pressure. I feel like especially well they did back in the 90s when they were still men salting Consulting on millennial guys, and I guys have a very hard. I mean they do it very hard now nowadays. I mean these this online dating I can't get over if you're like a good marketing person if you're a good marketing, but then you're going to be good at it. But if you're not then you're not going to be any good. I'm also like kind of attracted to guys who have like no Instagram followers and don't Don't know what like memes are like I like that. I think it's hot if he's too into social media and like to Techie and look into that. I don't I don't know. I don't like that. I don't want him to tell you want to date somebody in their 50s. I'm looking very bad E. I clearly have daddy issues. I'm gonna be my dad maybe a tennis coach. Oh God, they'll be so traumatic. I be triggered by everything everything. You said you want some water. You never let me have water when I was tired and training as Did you ever contemplate quitting company? Oh quitting quitting comedy now because it was such a gradual thing. I was teaching and then I was doing this is before YouTube nextup. I was in Twitter. I was teaching and doing it at night when you can still do that. And then and then I moved to New York when I moved to New York. I was like, I'm gonna take a rest since being New York. You've never had one moment where you're like ask might not be for me. No, I've now love that now because I was in New York and I before I moved to New York, I was like I'll either be crazy successful and this will work out or it won't and I'll just get a job doing something in New York. It'll be great. I live in New York and who cares but I didn't realize it would be this weird in-between phase where it's like you'll be getting things never then we W periods of like where it'll just still be improving but you know industry wise there won't be much happening and then you'll get a bump here bump there like tons of ups and downs. Yeah, even with someone who's very successful like I learned from my a Because he showed me how no matter what success you have people. Don't talk about after you get what you want. Yeah, I think you should have how you cope with then the stuff that comes with it. I know that sounds like LM really pretty now. I don't know what to do. It's really life never as never stops at a goal. Yeah, you can he's a good he's a he's a ground-up guy anyway, so it's easier to handle that way. You know what I mean? When you have successes, you're like you don't over it's like kind of like the thing where you've been there before. It's like you've been there before dude. Okay, you're getting some success here. That's good. Like it's good. Enjoy it but take it with a grain of salt. It's not that end of it's not the on the best thing you can get. I also feel that pressure on a goal you put too much hype in it. Like that's how I would self-sabotage with tennis like I'd be playing a girl who's like the second seed and I would be like, this is your chance. This is your time and I would just like crack under the pressure. But if you're more level-headed like I've done this before I've been before this is a day at the office. Play my best to move on I think I would have had better results to be honest. That was his mm. So this is MM is my shit. I'm sorry because I need that. I'm the opposite of a stoic person. I that's such a great such a great philosophy. You know, how are you different preparing yourself for stand up versus wrestling wrestling. I was clueless. I was really bad at preparing myself for matches as really really bad and fact, I'm a loss wise. I took a lot of losses. I probably shouldn't have taken because I just wasn't mentally there but for stand up now, it's like go out take a Breath and then you know just let it go a little bit of a clown in yourself and stand up you didn't have in wrestling. I think it's a confidence that evolved over time like as a man like I grew as a person because the guys who are naturally gifted they have a much different experience. Oh, yeah, then the people who have to work at it and take losses and take beatings and stuff. Those guys are actually Above The Fray so they have a different experience. I'm not saying easier but different mine was weird because physically I think I was I was top-notch, but then mentally I like you said, why do you think I'm so good at Twitter? Have a shit ton of thought and the wrong thoughts would go in my brain all the time and I had so much trouble quieting my brain on the court because I would think of what would go wrong like before matches. I'd go in the bathroom for 10 minutes because I thought I was calming for me, but I would just get into a thought spiral of all the bad things that could happen in this match and then like not want to go out but I would always go out right but those things made me the person who I am and he'll teach you that that shit. Yeah, you realize that you can control your thoughts you realize that you you have enough. Of those were your like and if you can that's why they have signed the internet has got all this information is out there about Your Mind Body Connection that wasn't there before. Yeah, you know me. So you start listening to it and reading about stuff. You're like, this is something that I can I can get ahold of and as a result. I can be a better person because it's good to hear more effective. I like hearing other people's experiences that you can compare rather than just like random articles that are like WebMD type shit, but when people talk about their experiences and open up in that way, it's beneficial. That's why Millennials are open about Anxiety and shit growing up. Were you allowed to talk about exactly did you know what exactly was? Yeah, it was a it was a thing but it wasn't have shit ton of anxiety. I should turn and comes forward here and send all that stuff like down our throats and stuff. But anxiety all this stuff. It's good that it's being talked about. It's much better than when I was growing up. Yeah, in terms of being talked about there's also a thing where there's an overcompensation for it to now which is bad it's bad and it's there's a there's a thing people use It as kind of an excuse. Well, there's a coddling effect to it. The thing is I don't like his also it's like they're using it and they're trying to medicalize it. Yeah, it's like it's not that dude. It's not you know, so they're thinking like I just read this bank robber is trying to take advantage of the millennial mind. I don't know if it's big Pharma. I think that I just read this book called The coddling of the American Mind by Jonathan haidt cool and it's love a man who reads it's it's really no guys. Don't read. Beside my Twitter they just grow my Twitter. I scroll it's not that's less reading more scrolling strong about it talks about how like everybody has that argument football. You know, these kids couldn't play football, you know, I start playing football I was nine and which is probably why the mental problems I have. No it was make that argument. It's like you shouldn't play football because of concussions. It's like, all right, dude. I mean, I understand that there's another side to it though, and it's like physical contact really humbles you like Like I when I was 9 and walk around thinking I was Superman because I knew that if I ran full force into another kid, I felt what that felt like so I would argue that's why you have a lot of these dum-dums on Twitter saying all kinds of mean nasty thing all this shit. It's like you've never been hit before but do you think never been hit? He's never been in a contact situation. So you don't know that there's ramifications for the things that you do you think these people are always out there now, they just have the technology to say whatever they want to whoever they want. I mean also an aspect of women never get to go. Hit sometimes like I never have gotten like Smokes on a football field. I think it's I think it's good and mentally abused. I've now maybe you came up through a athletic system of training and the results. Yeah. I got the having to deal with the results. Yeah, but I just think it's good for young men to like play a contact. I mean not for all not for all but for them to demonize it and be like contact sports are just a thing of the past like there's a function to it and it matters. What's I wasn't a tie? I wasn't as athletically gifted like in my high school. I went back in there like they practice in shorts and shoulder pads and helmets during the week and then play the game like that would have changed my football experience and we had to hit every day except for the day before the game. We did walkthroughs, but we had to hit and that changed my perspective. It also had to prepare. These aren't the kids making that decision. These are their parents who are like in their 50s or for I don't know like it's almost more your / older. That are treating the kids like this. I don't know if because they were the first like Corporate America that did well and they really want to make sure their kids have the best. That's the message the takeaway from this is if you're coddling your kid, I don't know how many people you have ever had kids and listening. What about pets? Like I cuddle my cat butter. It's all right with pets but if you coddle your kid, you're like I want to make a fuck. I want to make it very chic makeup on because very serious point if you're coddling your kid. I'm very much against it. If you're coddling your kid, you're not doing owing him or her any favors you're setting them up for failure. So if you're doing that and you're a helicopter parent and you're coddling your kid and and they're gonna be like, oh well what bat you don't have kids like but I do have a master's in this I did work in behavioral schools. So I do understand it. If you're coddling them and many people are you're making a mistake you're crippling them. This is actually an important moment because I think the whole point of burning in hell this podcast is for people to listen to other people's hell and realize that it's actually the Inhale that they went through that made them who they are. And if you're constantly coddled and you don't deal with adversity. You don't fucking grow and become the person you are. Yeah confidence. So thank you for setting me up for that. Yeah. I've been manipulating you this whole time from the very beginning of meeting you in that apartment to make this statement to help people. I didn't realize how premeditated you were. No, I didn't help. I knew you liked me second you met me because I played D1 and you like love that shit now. I love your competitive energy. I just No it ran this deep. I feel like my ex had very competitive energy to does he does absolutely do you we were in like slightly different industries. Did your in the same industry? Do you talk about careers with your girlfriend or do you try to like keep that separate now we talk about it because it's because he needs he's part of your life and it's a big part like she's attacking it. She's in the same way. Then I'm in it the way that it together now that like no no. No, I don't want still separate separate because it's an individual sport. Yeah, but supportive. Each other like she helped me with a big thing recently. She probably knows how to deal with shit better because she's been through a lot of shit that you have. Yeah even just dealing with a bad set. Yep. Not that you've ever had one. No, but I haven't you have for your listeners out there that comic might be because we're doing my plugs.

We sail what are you greedy about eating eating like I like if I'll try to eat everything on the plate just for me because I've been conditioned that way me too. I'll try to make it fast you too fast and I need everything on the plate and I watch other people they pick at it and they take a break they drink a glass of water and they are and they don't eat as much when I food in front of me there could be anything going on like a cat in a tree crying and I will no I'll save the cat. But anyway, that's two men and a hot tub are you doing? Or who they're going to have sex with that night or who they're going to try to hook up with? What do you think of Summer home? What do you think of me being on the show tag summer? What was your initial reaction? I want to know because I couldn't talk to you because that's enough. Can I be honest with you? Yeah, I was like, I'm sorry. I don't insult any of the other cast mates. I was like Hanna's Above This Is really what I thought well, it's funny actually my boss at the time texted me and said I had higher hopes for you. Oh really, which was pretty brutal. Yeah, but at the time I was you know what the entertainment industry is. It seems like an opportunity for me. Yeah that they'd interviewed tons of people right and the fact that they're offering me this and paying me. Yeah, and I kind of knew the cast it was already like I love going out to The Hamptons on the weekend and I saw it as a platform to now are you worried about how they would make you look? The storyboard it honestly, I feel like from my breakup with your roommate. I did a lot of work on myself and I felt like the first time I was very in touch with my intuition my inner voice and that I was just really comfortable who I am and I couldn't have done a couple years ago. I would have been too insecure about how I would be actually twofold here. Yeah. I had a phobia of going to reality v as in like some one thing would quickly happen and everyone would Judge Me by that moment. It's kind of an obsessive thing. I've had even meeting people. Well, I'd try to impress them really quick. Like they had to know who I was and that five minute intro, right but I found this calmness and myself recently and I just felt like I want to go on not wasn't trying to be perfect by any means. I want to show my imperfection right and if they I can't be the villain if I'm just being authentic, right? So as long as I wasn't the villain and trying to hurt people, which I know I wouldn't I was like, this is just a fun cool experience. I try to get them on a boat for your birthday. You mean like that? I tried to lure them in and if you They're here. Very manipulative. No. Okay. So the you saying that if you're using it as a stepping stone to something, I would say, yeah because I think that you're you have a lot of your a deep good person and and and I don't think that that platform lets you and I don't think it portrays that in you. I think it portrays a very superficial which is it's yeah, it's what they wanted to do. I am going to break that stigma. Yeah of going on. TV and then becoming that like person that everyone just aspires to be like in your perfect self all the time or people laughing at you trying to be perfect and instead I just was like this is me. Yeah, people are struggling people are suffering. So if you can give them some advice on how to help them to power through or to even enjoy it like enjoy what sellers to do that it was always in me, but now it's given me a platform where people like will reach out to me and I will listen to me right now. I feel like I can have an effect on people but also what you said in the beginning every day when I'd film I Like deep down felt like I was trying my best like I try my best to be myself and do my thing as long as I knew that I was fine with the filming. Is that why you went topless in the hot tub? Damn it? No, I went topless episode 10. So yeah, I'm greedy about food too. We spiraled off deadly sin. We spiraled I'm greedy about food. Yeah. Are you traveling cleaner Italians We crave bread and pasta. Yeah olive oil. Love it. I'm hungry. Agree, yeah, let's go get some pasta after this such stereotypes. Who are you envious of besides me? I don't know if I'm envious of I see people's lives. I'm like from the outside because you don't know what kind of problems people have underneath you see people who are successful and you're like, oh I'd like that level of success. I look at it kind of like I'd like that level of success but in my mind my arrogant I would live a be like I know how to handle that LifeWise like, you know, I mean like you see people at a level success, but it doesn't seem like they know Handle it like in terms of taking it in stride and life realizing what the important things are. They seem to be and it's very easy to get seduced by that but you're like, oh no if I had that success and it could be I could be wrong. Maybe they have that success because they literally don't understand the little things that'll make them happy. So that's all they can try to do. They say on social media related people who post photos and their relationship tend to be the most insecure about their relationship. Yes, so it's like when you're posting Successful photos of yourself. You're putting it into the world for a reason. Why would you post a photo of you on a private jet traveling because you're trying to manipulate people's minds to think that you're busy which probably means you really are insecure about how busy you are. There's a hole in your heart kind of fill it with pictures of you being on a private jet. No that in La there's this thing where you can rent out an hour and sit on a private jet and take photos everywhere. You look like you have a PJ That's amazing. I'm sorry. I'm using my La voice. That's amazing. What you just said is fire and it's amazing and it's lit. What do you gluttonous about besides food? I'm not a big I like to have money, but I'm not a big money guy. I guess sex I like, you know sex with Person I care about which Probably sounds corny to your listeners. No, not at all. We have a into somebody and it's like yeah all the time. Let's go let's do this. But then how could you have ever dated someone you weren't like crazy wanting to fuck? I don't think I ever have you know, I mean, I don't think I've ever dated. I didn't ever been it's never been it's like sex for me is its intensity like it's ratcheted. I haven't I heard it. I heard it. Yeah, so so you started on the other room you're like banging screaming and yeah, but I like I really like that and so in order for that to ever like soft and gentle yeah soft and gentle but there's like different, you know, Ebbs and flows of yeah, it's like the waves. Yeah the oceans like the waves its high tide, you know, there's a lifeguard out there. There's a red flag. I swim at your own risk type situation. You can't fake any of it. You can't I don't like the like there's no faking it. And I don't know. I don't know how other guys are but like I don't like being disassociated with it and having sex like that's pointless. That's why I don't like random sex because I'd rather just masturbate then have a guy masturbate with my vagina and like you don't fit. It doesn't feel good because he doesn't know your body and you have no connection with him. You can make it up in your head. But one just make it outta your head with yourself and actually come but even if it's a one night stand or something like that. It's like Thing where the good one I stand that I've had as has been like kind of like an agreement. It's like let's just let it go and have fun with each other, you know, like have fun with each other and those there's owner ability in that. I will nobility I think is what makes sex good but mostly it's somebody, you know, and you establish something something with and it's like you can really just let it go and you're right. It is vulnerability like you're letting it you're just letting it go I've had people who I like thought I was emotionally crying. I don't know why but I want to be around them a lot. Lat, but I only fuck with dudes like six two and up. But this one guy was less than six to yeah, that's my tragic tragic. But and I was likely I'm not people not killing themselves guys who are less than 6 to I was like, I think I might be attracted to him. I don't think so, but I'll try and because I was so obsessed with his personality and how he carried himself. I became so attracted to him. I want to take it back. I had nothing. Guys, but I like in my head was going through this disassociative phase with dudes where I didn't want to get emotional. So just objectifying all of them. I was like only thanks to its licking its effect anime girls laugh and make guys very mad at me. Well for those of you listening on 5 8 R u5 am yeah, so when I get here wearable when I got in there Hannah was like how many phone books do you need to get up to the microphone? Is that why you spike your hair to get an extra 2 inches? Yeah, the true. Do you ever gonna change your hairdo? I don't think so. I tried to do like a faux hawk thing. I just thought I could see you like Great Gatsby esque. I don't know what that is. I think you know Chris is that when it wasn't there. Yeah, but when I cut my hair is thicker than Chris's and you tell him I said that now my hair I've been blessed to have thick hair. So the only like so many things I can do with it you do but have those of you ladies who would like to see what I look like and I'm on Instagram at Comic Mike V. Sorry we gonna do plugs anytime soon. Well, I do it at that and if they last that long, but I think that your Instagram is great because you interview a little cousin who I fucking love the like the older one. I think Luca look guys I Italian shamed him. It was great. I love when you shame your family because they're all like Mike shut the fuck up and you're getting the biggest kick out of it. Yeah. When is the last time you experienced extreme Wrath? Oh, I got into a fight. I got into an argument with a friend of mine a friend of ours we all know and I got into an argument with him and I that's a good question because I remember the I remember feeling so viciously and Ikes no not we never we when we have a problem. First of all, we rarely have problems. But if we do have them we talk about it. Yeah. We were like you guys could get married wanted to your bathrooms fucking discussing. He still have a hundred. And poo bottles in your bathroom. Yeah, but that's we have a lot we Girlfriends Past. All right, we enjoy a lot of options for people when they come they're all crusty and old I will I was all I wanted to just throw it all away, but he was like monks going to get really mad. Mike will get really mad if you throw it away and I'm like that pisses a lot of like a lot of girls that get pissed off. Yeah. It's like a weird power move by your your like you could be replaced by any of these shampoo bottles. Any second. What were you mad at the friend about he felt he was trying to bully me and it made me Me, I mean I hadn't have done this I passed before. Yeah, but he has that aspect to his Personality. Yeah, so I know you're talking about and I love them. I love them. So it hit me the wrong way and I felt like a viciousness you defending her that I haven't felt in a long time. Did you have to like Alpha and show like, I'm no one to be bullied and we ended up having to talk about it. We ended up having to talk about it. That's all it's just it just ended up we are able to be calm and yeah, yeah. Because it was days later. It was days later and to his credit. He called me but on the phone when we started to get we started to get chippy it it escalated and then I took it actually I could feel it in my gut it took me over. I hate getting chippy. Like I hate losing her cool and becoming in like a sour place of people because I'm very sensitive to yeah. I always try to keep it as light or calm as possible. But I do snap on summer house at the very end it snap don't watch. Yeah. I mean, it's might win an Emmy this season. When was the last time you were a sloth? What's a sloth easy a lazy yesterday. Really? Yeah yesterday because I'll tell you what happened in my brother came into town. He's on business. He has a family he's like works so hard so he came in we went to a spot we went to a diner afterwards and then we went to a cigar bar which was a mistake. It was a huge mistake because every ventilation wasn't good and we smoked cigars and had to borrow. Was a wine and then I went home the next day. I woke up throwing up. But yesterday yesterday. I woke up vomit and alcohol I can't do it was brutal. I think the place he's a skinny today though poor ventilation. Thank you. I did go to yoga. I went to yoga Hot Yoga to detox cool because I felt like garbage you ever go to the yoga room. No, there's one in a story. I know I Bikram Bikram Yoga, do you ever get sick of it? I don't go that much. Okay, but I don't go there. I couldn't do it now. I'm back into it. But I think it makes me I look better. I feel better. But I also look better. Yeah, physically my skin looks better when I do it. When was the last time you let your pride get in the way of something I think was some I think in this business, sometimes people will ask you to do stuff and I don't know if it's Pride but it's like now I'm worth more than that. So no, I think you should yeah say I don't know if that's a pride pride like you're using it as a bad thing. But in that situation, it's like Nan I'm worth when not going to be I'm not going to be I think it's Honest with yourself like in the beginning of my career. I was freelancing for no money because that's what I was. Yes. Yeah, and but then once you start you have to know when to switch things. I also one thing I'm learning about this Industries. Everything's negotiable which as a woman you're taught to just kind of be caring and a caretaker and not like say I want more you supposed to be like easygoing and not like take up too much space. So for someone to be like all can you do this for five hundred dollars in me to go? No 1,000 was like the scariest Thing ever. Yeah, but then I saw how like managers and agents do it like like in their sleep, but the other side of that is be willing to take the loss exactly. You have to realize it's a game that you're not always going to win. So this is our final question. You're doing amazing. Thank you. When was the last time you lost it over someone? I don't my girl my when we met I lost it over her like unless it over because I asked her I want to sleep with her immediately. Okay? We were she was like now we're not doing that tried first night. Yeah, like well, I knew her so I was like, hey, we should you know, we're in Montreal want to see if we actually because I didn't foresee a relationship even I just want to have sex with like I was like, well you wanted a girlfriend so bad. So why are we going in and again our I wouldn't I don't say I wanted a relationship. I've learned over the years that you don't do that. Yeah. We don't want to relate I didn't want a relationship so bad. I just you see how it plays out you. You always see how it plays out because you start planning for that and then it's like oh this is you get lost and who the person actually is. Yeah, if you come with that mindset like I want this to go you start projecting your own feelings onto them and that's like oh this is not who this actually is you are. So right. Also, I have a theory that been right a lot on this podcast by the way, my breasts. I thought you were gonna fuck up the whole time.

Mike is Hannah’s ex boyfriend’s best friend and this is the first time they have spoken since the breakup. He also happens to be a hysterical comedian so he was the perfect podcast guest. The two discuss the complexities of a breakup, how he succeeded in getting out of the friend zone, having the same career as your best friend or significant other and not getting jealous of their success, how to focus on the positives of the internet and stay away from the negatives, how hard you should actually try at things, how many times he contemplated quitting comedy, the weird in-between phase no one talks about in their careers, kids who are coddled, his honest opinion of Hannah being on reality tv, disassociated sex, people who are bad at handling success, and how everything is negotiable.
