Luis J. Gomez· Guest0:09
I was doing something special, and then I just fucking fell off.
Speaker 30:14
I had a margarita at dinner once, and I was like, "All right, I'm back."
Luis J. Gomez· Guest0:18
Yeah, that'll do it. It's just that one. And you think, "I'll just have one."
Speaker 30:21
It was nice.
Luis J. Gomez· Guest0:22
What's the one else?
Speaker 30:23
It just... I was drinking too much because, uh, uh, the, you know, owning a club, there all the time, you know, how much... Everyone's like, "Do you want a shot? Do you want a drink?"
Luis J. Gomez· Guest0:31
Yeah, I can imagine. When I'm at your club, I get blackout drunk every time. Like, an actual problem. Like, I walk down the stairs, I'm like, "What the fuck just happened?" [laughs] [laughs] I drink so much at The Mothership. Austin in general. Are we on? Are we- Yeah.
Speaker 30:42
I think we're rolling. Yeah, the problem is Shane.
Luis J. Gomez· Guest0:44
[laughs] Oh, yeah. He's an animal. I don't know how he does it. I did the Bridgestone Arena with him on Friday night. Uh, I mean, first of all, just insane. Like, 20,000 people.
Speaker 30:53
Right.
Luis J. Gomez· Guest0:53
I mean, fucking- It's nuts ... Saturday night I did- Is that- ... 95 people at the Dojo of Comedy.
Speaker 30:58
[laughs] Is that the first time you did a big one in the round?
Luis J. Gomez· Guest1:00
In the round, yeah.
Speaker 31:00
The round is, like, oddly intimate, isn't it?
Luis J. Gomez· Guest1:03
Yeah.
Speaker 31:03
'Cause everyone's facing each other.
Luis J. Gomez· Guest1:05
Yeah, you can, uh- It's pretty cool ... it feels like it's a club around you on the bottom.
Speaker 31:08
Yeah.
Luis J. Gomez· Guest1:08
You kinda, like... It's so funny 'cause people get, like, so in their head. They're like, "Dude, f- it's all these people, it's crazy." I'm like, "I performed to half sold-out comedy clubs. Do you know much more nerve-wracking it is to make eye contact with your fans that are disappointed that they're in a half sold-out room- [laughs] ... than 20,000 people that are just there to be like, 'Fucking Shane!'"
Speaker 31:24
It's one of those things you just do it a couple of times and you get... It gets normal.
Luis J. Gomez· Guest1:29
Yeah.
Speaker 31:29
Like all things.
