Sometimes I forget how much I need stand-up in my life. Also, thank you @thaprofessah241 for letting me talk shit with you.

I didn't have the words the day of the wedding, (because I didn't want to cry any more than I already had at the ceremony), but I have to shout-out my Best Man, Jordan Tuerler. @nftbuffet and I met in preschool. We started hanging out more in fifth/sixth grade, because we bonded over Pokemon and video games on general. He always had my back. We went our separate ways after high school, but we always linked up during our schools' breaks. Every time we would hangout, we always picked up wherever we left off. He is the funniest person I know. Hands down. He always told me that we have to start doing stand-up. We did. I started later than him, but it was another thing we both did and both love. When I got sober, he was one of the first people to fully support me and made it a point to tell me he was proud of me. Even if he didn't say those words exactly, he showed it.

When he met Maggie they hit it off. I knew they would get along. They both love video games and animals. They met right after she had proposed to me. He left that night and immediately texted me, "When's the wedding? I'm coming back for that shit."

Later I asked him, "Hey, idiot. You wanna be my Best Man?" He accepted. No one else could take that spot.

I have kept it contact with very few people I grew up with, because most of them are horrible people. Jordan makes up for that a thousand fold. Thank you for accepting me and for always being willing to be a dipshit with me. Love you, man.

2) I'll be headlining at Bit Brewing on Saturday Sept 7th in Central City! I heard the last one was phenomenal, so don't miss it!

This weekend was 🔥. I am a massive @samtallent fan and to have him on the @theluckycatcr stage was a dream come true. It was a sold out weekend, the crowds were both fantastic, and the lineups killed: @mrtuttlenation, Wes Shirley and @lucasentric of @wesandmikewastetime, @brodyfstanford, @theetravisbails, @aloemean, and @soakthembeans.

I could not do any of this at the LC without our comedy community, who support me without fail no matter what I need. Thanks to @lesliemitchellcomedy and @zachshoyle for helping with doors and @tylermeyerhoff and @zachvaughancomedy for being rock stars behind the bar with me. You all rock my whole entire world and I am so grateful.

We started comedy the same night, at the same open mic, back in 2013. I'm so happy I got to host for you, baby boy!
