You know, it's so easy to be pulled in any direction with all the, you know, attractions and the things and the side things. Hey, there's parties, there's drugs, there's booze, there's women. And then you're like, you know, I gotta be a pro, I gotta go home and I gotta write some jokes and I gotta do a show tomorrow. So you gotta stay focused and always keep it tight. Yeah. Yeah.

All right, guys. Got Carrot Top here today. Longest running comedian in Vegas history. Good lordy, right? Crazy. Man. How many years you on now? Well, if you add up all of them, I think 30. Holy crap. 30 years, yeah. 30 years. 819 at Deluxor and 10 at MGM. It's almost 30 at one of the ballets. Yeah, I feel like most comedians don't last more than 10. Minutes. I know. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, I've been lucky.

You still want to do another 30 more? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I feel like Biden. I'm ready to go. Oh, man. Yeah, I'm still having a good time, too. I think that's an important thing, I think, to enjoying it. I enjoy the process of writing jokes.

I love the energy of getting up there and doing it every night. It's a new crowd, new audience. It's fun. I love that. Vegas is always a new audience. Yeah. Dude, you're looking jacked. I am jacked. I have been training a little bit. Summertime, I'm getting my bill back. I'm going to have to hire you as a personal trainer. His friends gave me this shirt last night, so I'm wearing it. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. There's two kids, and they look just like Bill and Ted. Really? Yeah. They're young kids, and they had long hair. Yeah.

I'm going to wear this shirt on this podcast. Dude, you must be working out like two a day. I can't believe this. Yeah, about once a day. Okay. Yeah, you're the most jacked comedian I've ever met. I'm the most jacked comedian. Was that a goal of yours? No. No. No. Damn. I'm just carrying all my hate mail. That's where it comes from. You do get a lot of that. No, I don't. You don't? No. On social media? Everybody gets mail. Everybody gets hate shit. That's part of being... Especially Carrot Top. My God. People love just to...

It's gotten less. I mean, years ago when it first started, it was just like, you know, who's this guy? And it was kind of cool to hate me. And I've done it so long now, now I've become kind of a staple of, you know, I've been doing 30 years, 40 in comedy. So I think it's probably gotten around to the point where, hey, he's pretty good. He's been doing it 40 years. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't notice that at first, though. You got a ton. Yeah, they like to in the beginning because there's something new and something...

Which was odd. You'd think that would be the opposite reason. You know, you do something original that's new, and people hate that. They don't want new and original and funny. They want, like... They'd probably rather me do other people's act, which was the most, you know...

The most forbidden thing to do back when I first heard DuneCon was you do your own material. And so that's kind of what the route I did with the props and the other stuff because I'm saying no one could say I stole their act. I'm carrying around a walker with a dildo on it and a Crimewatch sign. Has anyone tried to steal your material? People have tried to steal my props just to have them. We catch them all the time like, you can't take that.

Um, the tonight, a couple of shows have stolen my prop. I had, I had, uh, and even just simple ideas like a social media thing. Um,

I had one where Mike Tyson's speaking of, you know, ears now. It's a popular topic now because Trump got shot in his ear. So I had a couple of Trump jokes with the ear. But I had one that was for Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson bit M. Andrew Holyfield's ear. The joke was, you know, he bit his ear. So I was on The Tonight Show. So I had this, like, you're the...

George Foreman grill. Everybody would say, yeah. I said, the Mike Tyson has a grill. And I opened it up and there was an ear on it. And it killed. It was like the funniest thing. So the next, I don't know, two weeks later, Jake does this whole segment on the show where he does these props. Things that we found in Junkyard. And I'm like, he did my exact joke. It was Mike Tyson's grill. I'm like, you've got to tell your writers to...

Maybe steal a little bit. You just don't steal right from the show you did it on. That's crazy. So he was at the show and then stole it? The writers. The writers were looking for bits and the writers said, hey, do that one. But I was just on the show. It was a week later. I always wondered how those shows come up with random topics, but that makes sense if they just go to other people. Sometimes they just lift them like they did mine. That's crazy. A lot of those shows are losing audience. Podcasts are taking over.

they are really they are yeah i know you go on a few you've been on rogan too right yeah rogan's great rogan's super duper him alone is getting more views than all these shows combined yeah it's pretty crazy times are changing i know those shows were like the thing when i was growing up yeah they were tonight shows and uh late night with you know letterman and all those they don't compare to what they used to be now yeah why do you think they've lost their appeal one i think it's because of this what you said this new format new concept um

much easier, much quicker to do a show like this than it is that. They've turned real political. I think a lot of people aren't going on those shows because of the political size of them. I've been doing it for years and it was always just fun. And then you go on now and it's mostly policy, political driven. So it turns away a lot of people. Do you even touch on politics in your shows or do you stay away? I do in a roundabout way. I mean, I do a Trump impression where it's just so bad. It's

Actually, with a cold today, it's kind of not good. But just that, you know, I make – the joke is basically something I – and he always claims everything he makes, so I do a joke about it. You know, burgers. There were hot dogs, but never burgers. I made burgers. You look. The administration didn't have burgers. They didn't have motels. They didn't have hotels. You know, my friends, I stop. I said, there was stop. There was to go. I made stop. And this Trump, anything you say, he will just start – like he invented it. We didn't have microphones. No one had microphones. Right.

So that way I do it. On that, I don't get too political. Nobody cares about it. And I don't think to get people riled up over it. Yeah. I know some comedians dive full into it. Yeah. Which is not my thing. You know, it's carrot top. You want to see me doing goofy things. Yeah. Vegas is tough though. Cause I feel like it's a mixed political crowd. So you don't want to kind of definitely mix. Yeah. You don't want to go too far down one road.

Indeed. Yeah. I saw Shane Gillis just did a Trump thing on Kill Tony. Yeah. Did you see that? I didn't, but I like him. Yeah. He's, dude, he's so fucking funny. He might be my favorite. Oh, that's great. Yeah. I saw him when he was coming up. He opened up for Michael Rapaport like five years ago and he was unknown. His trajectory has been insane. That's great. Did you see him really coming up like that early on? Yeah. Yeah.

Because you probably know all the same comedians, right? Yeah, we're all aware of each other and look at each other. Do you see them as competition or as a friendly? No, never competition. I mean, I look at them as just, I just like watching how other comics work, you know? It's always fun to see the process, how they come up, how they write, their style of comedy, how they deliver it. Everyone has a different delivery, a different approach, you know?

A lot of mine is observational. Like, you know, a lot of my stuff is everyday things, like people that back their car in. I do a whole joke about that, and it was turned into our routine. But it's great, because I see how many people pull in. How many people back in? And people clap, and I say, it's you people that are ruining America. And then they all, you know, like, why? I'm like, what the fuck? We're first out. You're last in. It doesn't matter. Unless you're robbing a bank, just park your fucking car. And we have all this...

Digital jokes that come with it. It's funny visually. You'll see, here's your cap. We're not quite at the gate. If anyone could stay in their seats while I back this bitch. And then it shows a picture of this plane backing into the tarmac.

So it's funny looking because people, it's just pop culture. It's like that's what we're talking about. Imagine a pilot backing his car and his truck and plane in. That's a good point. People that back in, how much time are you actually saving? None. They're spending more, exactly. Yeah, you're spending more trying to reverse. I don't know who gave them the idea that was supposed to be the quickest way to park. Yeah, that's interesting. How often are you changing your jokes and material? Oh, God, every day I try to add. Every day? Well, every day I try to add one thing. Wow. Yeah. I don't care if it's...

It's just one thing, whether it be a bed board or add something to something. But usually once a day I come up with something that might be on the news, that might be with all the campaign stuff going on.

It's been a big week with making jokes, but I try to do one a day. That's actually insane. I didn't know that. I thought you just did the same show for lots of time. No, no, I've never, never done that. Never done that. Because a lot of people do do that. I know. Well, you know, in their defense, a lot of those guys, let's say Chris Rock, let's say, is getting ready for a special, and he's getting ready to do that hour special in Omaha, you know,

He's going to do that same exact show for however long it takes for him to get it down right. And then he'll do it and tape it and then he'll go and he'll mess around. Yeah, because he's practicing delivery. He's practicing that exact thing. But I'm not necessarily getting ready to shoot a special, so I don't have...

You know, I can change my every day. But if they came to me and said, hey, we want to shoot a special, you know, in a month or two, I'd start tightening it down and staying. I'm surprised you haven't been approached. Yeah, we've had to be approached with more documentary kind of stuff as opposed to a special. Okay. I'm not really keen on just doing an hour special. How come? The money. I think just by giving away the hour of the show that kind of seems...

Dumb to me. It's like you kind of want to give them a tease and then they want to come see the show I think if you do the show and Netflix you know they seen the show and then they want to go see a show they come like we just saw that so the Document you get to also get know how I got here well how the hell did I get here and you get to see behind the scenes and It's more of them learning to know who I am older people might know young people not might not really be aware of my career and how I how I got here and

why I'm still here. I think that'd be a fun documentary. That'd be really interesting. More, and get, and get, you know, testimonials from, you know, other comics, get Jalen, you know, all these other people saying, hopefully, nice things about me. But, you know, to say like, yeah, it'd be fun to see who is Carrot Top. Yeah. There's something to learn from your longevity. Yeah. I mean, you're like the LeBron of comedy. Yeah.

I like that LeBron of comedy. Yeah, I mean, he's 20 years in. You're 30. Yeah. Yeah, but he's about to wrap up, I think. His son's in the league now. You follow NBA at all? A little bit. I know his son got in the league. I know that's kind of a proud moment for him. Any sports you're big on? Probably still more football than anything else. Football? Yeah. What's your team? Well, the shitty Dolphins. You live in Vegas. Well, but I'm from Orlando. So when I was a kid, we had the Miami Dolphins team.

so i've always stayed uh true to them yeah i can't remember in my lifetime them ever being good no probably not in your lifetime they were they were barely good in my lifetime i think it was when i was two jeez you don't even remember no yeah my job literally i was born in six so in the sixth like 71 they that was when they won damn so yeah my in my lifetime good for your age man great for my age yeah that's impressive out here in vegas it's easy to get wrapped up in the

partying and drinking and clubbing, but you say... But I'm old, so I don't... That's what keeps me... I am disciplined. That is a really big part of the comedy, too. His discipline with anything is discipline. I don't care what job it is.

But especially a job like show business, you know, it's so easy to be pulled in any direction with all the, you know, attractions and the things and the side things. Hey, there's parties, there's drugs, there's booze, there's women. And then you're like, you know, I got to be a pro. I got to go home and I got to write some jokes and I got to do a show tomorrow. So you got to stay focused and always keep it tight. Yeah. Did you go through a phase in your younger years where you were...

I don't know if I was that. I mean, I never been a partier, but I mean, I would go out more than I did when I was young because I had energy, you know, shows over and like, let's go get a drink. You know, now it's like, let's go on my sports center. Yeah. Cause there are a lot of comedians that go down that road drinking and drugs or whatever. Yeah. No, it seems to be common in that space. Yeah, it is.

But that's cool that you stay locked in. Yeah, it's easy in Vegas to get distracted. And I was going to say, on top of that Vegas, on top of not just being a comic in Las Vegas, how about that? A lot of distractions. So much distractions. Yeah, you probably get invited to so many events, dinners, parties, clubs. Damn, props to you, man. Six days a week you're performing. Six days, yeah, six days. That's crazy. On Sunday, yeah. It's fun, though, too, because you kind of get into a rhythm, you know, you get...

If you have one where you're, you know, you always have the next night, you know, to kind of fix it and try it better, you know. How many people are in the audience usually? Four million. No, it's about 400 people. That's a good size. Yeah. So you could really feel the energy and see if it's a good show or not. Yeah, yeah. Has there ever been like a show that bombed? Oh, yeah. Every comic had to have a show that bombed. Although I would say bombed, not bombed.

professionally now, not bombed. I mean, I had one that I didn't think went as well, but I don't have one that just, you tanked it. I mean, I've been doing it too long. You kind of learn how not to have a tank, but when I first started, oh boy, there's a lot. You're just so green. You know, there's a lot of shows. I remember,

In clubs, you just, man, you just, you know, and you'd eat it, man. But then when you come off, they're like, that was great. And so you sometimes would think, you know, even to this day, sometimes I'm like, man, that was horrible. People were like, that was great. Great show. I'm like, really? Yeah. So they don't know until you tell them you guys fucking suck. Then they'd know. Yeah.

That must hurt. I mean, getting off stage and getting booed. Yeah, like I said, I'm lucky in my career where I'm at that I have fans and I have people that go to see it specifically. They're not going to boo me or heckle me. Wow. You got people coming multiple times. Oh, yeah. These guys gave me shirtless. They've been on the show like 10 times. Holy crap. Yeah. I mean, if you're changing your material. And they're young kids and it's a...

to be that young and still seeing the show that many times. - That's cool. Is this the main thing? You got any other businesses or podcasts that you're starting up? - I was doing something, you know, we do a lot of podcasts. We're trying to do a documentary. I'm trying to write a book. There's some talk about maybe a movie too. And I've done some movies that are still coming out. Did some parts in some. I had like little cameos in some. That's what's fun about, I'm on that show "Hacks" on HBO.

It's always fun about this job. You never know, you know, the next day that, like, they call me and say, you want to be on? Most of those things happen, wouldn't say by accident, but I mean just by not planning them. I remember Larry Sanders, if you remember his show, I was driving in L.A. just going to lunch or something. They said, where are you? And I'm like, I'm at 405, stuck in traffic. Like, where are you? Can you get to the CBS studios? Like in...

like the next two hours or something. And I was like, yeah, what, what? And it's a Gary Shanley show. And I was like, Oh, what am I doing? Like, you don't even need to bring your props. Just go down. So I went and I just kind of played a character and then they, they put me in it. And I'm, you know, an hour prior to that, I had no idea. I was going to eat lunch. I had no idea. It was going to be on, on of my favorite shows, you know, Larry Sanders. So, um, sometimes you just, it just, things just happen and you're like, Oh, cool. Yeah. The hangover was one of the best, but, uh, you know,

I was backstage getting ready for the show. My manager came in and said, there's this guy out here that they said is shooting this movie, and they want to know if you want to do something in it. I said, when? They said, like, right now. I'm like, right now? I said, well, we're getting ready for the show. They said it would literally take one minute. I said, what, do they have a script? He said, no, just bring the director in. It's Todd Phillips. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. And he says, hey, we're filming this movie called Hangover. And it's, you know, these guys. And the joke is they just want to be, they're partying with you. So I said, all right. They all walked in. Now, I don't know any of them at the time. I'm like, Zach, I said, I know him. You're a comic, right? And he goes, yeah. I said, ah. And they said, so what's the, they were all like, Garrett Topp, you know, like, this is crazy.

I'm the big star. These guys are all now huge stars. This movie hadn't hit yet. They're all just like, star-shocked of me. I thought it was funny. They said, what do you want to do? I said, I don't know. What's the plan? They said, we'll be drinking and he'll pull his shirt up and you'll be laying on his belly drunk. I'm like, they're filming a little bit. I'm like, this isn't funny. I said, what if we're doing Coke? They're all like,

Yeah, and I'm like, well, that'd be funny. I mean, doing Coke with carrot top is pretty funny. I mean, I don't know. I think everyone knows, or there probably is this assumption that I do, you know, part of my appearance. I look like I do drugs. I don't. So, and they said, if you're cool. I said, yes, and my assistant went and got some sweet and low and shit, and we made up, you know, all these lines of Coke. We put one on Zach's belly, and I was throwing it off his belly, and then all of a sudden it was hilarious. Yeah.

It looked like a party. It looked like they came to my backstage and were doing Blow With Me, and that made the movie. Wow. But that's one that's not knowing. That just happened. Never knew. Then they left, and I was like, dude, you're in The Hangover. I'm like, what? Oh, the one that we did Coke with? Yeah, it's huge. It's the biggest movie in the world. That's crazy. I'm like, oh, cool. I'm glad I did it. Then people are like, dude, I didn't know you did Coke. I'm like, no, it's a movie. I'm like, what?

Wow, so that scene was kind of improvised. That's pretty much it. Yeah, a lot of things in comedy really are. A lot of things. Damn. Movie sitcoms. I mean, sometimes there's a base script. Sometimes you just kind of improvise off it. Damn. They should have had you in the second one, too. They tried. Oh, they did? It was going to be exactly that. They were going to be in a plane going to Europe.

And I look back. I'm in first class, and they're all back there getting drunk and crazy. And the lady says, the gentleman up front would like to buy you a drink. And they all look up. There's the curtain. They pull the curtain back, and I'm like, I could do some coke. Classic. But what happened? They just never got... They were...

just were too far along and couldn't get back to it. But he was like, yeah, dang, why didn't you tell me earlier? Because I thought of it. I thought, hey, you know, I got wind of it that they were filming the second one. So I thought, oh, I'll come up with a bit. He loved it. He was like, damn it, that would have been so good. Great, great callback. Did they film both in Vegas or just the first one? I have no idea. I think the first one. Okay. I've been cut out of so many movies now. Really? Oh, yeah. I met everyone you probably interviewed. If you ask them how many movies they cut out, they probably have dozens.

I didn't know that was common. I didn't either, but I've been kind of, yeah, it is very common. What happens is they shoot all the footage they can. It's not that they didn't like me or my scene. They just got to the point where they say it's not needed. I'd be so hurt. Well, when we shot with Melissa McCarthy, it was brilliantly funny, but it did, when we shot it, I kept saying, this is a weird scene. It was kind of like a flashback. She ate some bad fish and her, she went on this trippy thing.

And when they probably put the movie together, they're like, it doesn't make any sense. Damn. Yeah, a little too edgy for their liking, I guess, right? Who knows? I feel like a lot of movies are kind of soft these days. They're not as vulgar as they used to be. Like Adam Sandler movies don't hit the same anymore. Those used to be hilarious. He did make good movies. The 2000s? Yeah. Oh my gosh. His new ones on Netflix, they're decent, but nothing like the old ones. Right. But you want to eventually...

create your own movie one day? Is that something in the books? We did a movie called Chairman of the Board, which I did, God, whatever year it was. And it was my movie starring me. But it was an interesting time because I'd never been in a movie. I, you know, first time starring in a movie and I'd barely even gotten behind a camera. I'd never been on a crew and I've been on the, you know, the Tonight Show and whatnot, but I never had a movie crew or

There's you know over a thousand people on the set you know doing something and was looking right at me And they're all like you know everyone's getting me ready and getting me in the other camera and action. You're just like fuck You know it's just a lot to to Absorb so she's never doing it right so I did okay considering that was my first ever doing a movie cold you know blue green as I could and

But we had a great cast. We had the supporting cast was Raquel Welsh and Jack Warden and Larry Miller and God, you name it. They were all in it. And so it really, really was fun. It was a legit movie. And it still holds up to this day when we see it. Okay. Yeah, it's a good movie. I've got to check it out. Chairman of the board. So you were a producer and actor? No, I was barely an actor. Oh, no. Yeah, I didn't produce. But I had... I used a lot of my...

ideas we wrote with, I wrote with the other guys and some of the, the scenes are my props that I was using. Like that was an inventor in the movie. So when I came into the pitch, I had, you know, some of the jokes that I use in my show, um,

In the movie. Got it. As an invention kind of thing. Oh, that's cool. In a sense, I kind of help. I should look and see if I was a producer in that because I should be. Yeah, you might have to make a sequel. A writer-producer. Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah. Think of it as neat. Chairman of the Board 2. Get ready. Get ready, guys. What year did that one come out? 90-something. Oh, so it's old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. 30 years old almost. Damn. Been at this for a while, man. Do you even go to the movies anymore? No. No, I just don't. It's fun to think the last movie I went to see. Yeah, I don't know either.

The last movie I saw in theaters was the new Top Gun, I think. Top Gun. The new Top Gun. Because everyone said you got to see it because of the surround sound and the jets. So I saw it. It was very good. But part of that, jeez. I don't know.

Blazing Saddles. I mean, it's been that long. I don't even know what that is. I mean, these days, everything just comes out on streaming. It's true. It's odd. You always wonder if movie theaters are even showing movies anymore. You didn't even know they existed. They gotta be hurting. Yeah. I mean, that's... Everything's in. Everything streams. That's scary. Is the comedy space slowing down? No, the comedy thing's still going. You know, live comedy is still... People want to see live comedy. Thank God. Okay. Um...

People do stream it too, but I think you still get that live audience and they're watching comedy. That's good. Yeah, we hope. So that's one of those spaces that's recession-proof. I don't know if it's recession-proof, but as of right now, it seems to be. Okay. I mean, right now, I feel like we're in one. Yeah. And if you're still getting spots filled. Well, people always want to, that is one thing during a recession and hard times, they want to laugh. That's one thing people really, you know, find their...

from getting to laugh and kind of forget about their problems. That's why they don't want to talk about politics. Do you think social media helped the comedy space overall? Because a lot more eyeballs saw like the new skits and stuff. On social media? Yeah. I mean, I still have my, I haven't figured quite that one out yet. If social media does that, I mean, whether just not maybe for me as other people, I mean, some people have become, you know, huge internet stars are off of social media. I mean, what is this one example? What Justin Bieber, I think was one of the first, um,

Or the Kardashians, if they have a show. But there's people that are musicians and singers that have become huge just off social media. Oh, yeah. And comedians. Yeah, a lot of comedians. A lot of comedians. Andrew Schultz, Theo Vaughn, Trevor Wallace. There's a few that really blew up from social media. But that's not part of your marketing strategy? No, it is part of it. Yeah. You just got to get people to take care of it. We've already heard of him. He's a good guy. Yeah. Plus, your stuff, you kind of don't want to put out, right? You want it to be more of a surprise. Yeah.

well i put it out yeah we put it out a little bit yeah oh like your prop yeah so you put it out okay yeah i always put it out there and show the making of it and the new prop of the day or whatever the week yeah okay yeah because a lot of times there's a shelf life to it too so you want to get it out yeah you know were you on reno 911

Was I what? Were you on Reno 911, the show? Yes, yes. What were you doing in that show? You didn't do your homework. Yes, I was on there. No, I knew you were on there, but what went down on that episode? Actually, what went down on there was hotel furniture right off the balcony into the parking lot. Oh, shit. Yeah. It was a great scene. I'm in my room in my robe, and I'm partying on my floor.

excessively, and I'm throwing TVs off the balcony, and I launch my sofa, and they come bring me down, and I'm in a robe, and I'm saying, look, sorry, I'll write you a check. And I have like a rubber bank check. It's a rubber check, and it's some stupid thing. And I grab the guy's gun, and I run, I get in his car, and I peel out, and they go chasing after me. Damn. Yeah, it was a fun, fun episode, because...

I'm completely not playing me. I mean, I'm, you know, I would never act that way and I wouldn't, I wouldn't take a gun and steal, but I'm shooting at them and I'm peeling out of the hotel park. So it was, it was very fun. I missed that show. Yeah. It was a good episode too. Yeah. Jason Aldean threw a couch off the balcony. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You're also on Family Guy. Yeah. That is one of the best shows of all time. Yeah, of all time, yeah. They just hit you up to come on? Yeah, same thing. They had an idea, and they said, do you want to be the voice of it, or do you want us just to get a voice for it? Mm-hmm.

I said, of course, I want to be the voice for it. So they sent me the stuff and I went to read it and I was like, oh man, this is really, really not funny. Which, you know, hard to tell them it's not funny. Talking to people that are... You said that to Seth? Yeah. Wow. How do you take it? Well, he said, okay, um...

But what is not – well, it's funny though. I said, no, it's horrible. And he's like, what's not funny about it? I'm like, well, one, it's a pun. It's just like – it's the dumbest thing. I mean Kieritop's already the lowest common denominator. Then you have me do puns. Now it's really horrible. He says, well, I thought that's what you do. I said, no.

I don't do puns. I do like inventions and whatnot. So he tried to, he said, explain to me then what, what, what would you like to replace the prop with? And I said, how about my paper cups and string phone that has call waiting? And he's like, Oh, that's great. That's clever. And that's good. But that wouldn't work in, in this. Cause the whole thing is it's, it's, it's dumb. The prop has to be dumb. I said, so you're making fun of me because I'm dumb. He's like, well, no, but I,

and we've already made the animations. I'm like, well, then why did I spend an hour trying to talk you into doing my cups and string if we already knew that was what you were married to? So...

I said, okay, well, it's horrible. I'll do it. So I did the voice, reluctantly did the voice to it. And then they had me go back to L.A. because they had to do another part to it and loop it over anyway. So I'm sitting in with them now, face-to-face, and I said, to all of them, it was like 10 of them, I said, this is horrible, by the way. And everybody's just like, they're all going, this is great. I'm telling you, Scott, this is great. Everyone loves it. So I said, all right. So I read the lines and

I was laughing. I'm like, it's horrible, though, but it's funny to you, but you're not the one. But the joke was it was like a saw that had glasses on it. And the joke was, look, it's a seesaw. And I'm like – That's kind of hard to – So I said, this is horrible. And I kept saying, it's horrible. This is horrible. And so they all said, no, you're wrong, Scott. I'm telling you, this is the highest –

rated one we've done a lot we've already you know shopped it and got everybody's comments and they howl really

So I said, okay, I trust you. And it was great. And people still walk up to me and say, yeah, Seesaw, it was great. Yeah. To me, that's too hard to put in my head, like to register the joke. Like when you have to think about the joke too hard. Yeah. Well, it's a pretty easy joke. I mean, Seesaw. Yeah, it's horrible. Yeah. Damn. Well, they know what they're doing. They've been on TV for a while. That's what I said. I listen to the pros. Any other shows or movies you want to make an appearance on?

Well, yeah. I mean, I love doing... I love anything. I just love being part of movies. I love being part of shows. I love being... Especially if I'm kind of the odd guy out. Most people book me in things that, you know, you're going to be carrot top. I have done one where I was a really horrible, mean, like, killer clown. Yeah. Which is, I think, is going to be really cool. It's just...

I'm just this murdery guy covered in blood, so it's kind of cool. I'm not really revealed as Carrot Top. I don't think it's just— I love horror movies. I don't think it's just clown. Did you have to wear a clown thing, or was your hair good enough? No, I used my own everything, but I had blood and shit. Damn, when's that coming out? I don't know. They don't know. It's coming out soon. I'll check that one out for sure, man.

Well, where can people find you and check out your shows, man? Well, they can find me at the Luxor is where the show is and caretop.com. And they can look me on Instagram, which is caretop live.
