"Like living like a living like someone in his bugging soup kitchen honestly like first couple years of comedy. I was like because i don't get like hadn't when i got sober. I cut my dad off. And i didn't. I stopped taking money from him. Because i obviously my relationship to the feeling of guilt is very strong and so anything that i had taken from him or anything. I had accepted from him. Made me feel guilty and eventually was like. I just can't do this to myself. So i just basically chose to be poor and and lived like that and it's funny like i go back now and i see their house and stuff and i'm like holy shit like i'm like they have so much money like the way my step mom just goes out and buys a boat. I'm just like y. Gosh your a boat. Like she's like it's made up and she talked about it like it's a little toy boat but it's a she's just went out bought a key chain. It's but it's a yeah she's like it's my boat. It's not your dad's boat. It's my boat. And i'm like okay. Well sort of feels like a massive massive purchase. You know what. I mean right sort of feels like something that would go to him if you died. That kind of you know we're like i'm like it was just so different than the life. You're living what am i. God yeah if me. And andy died the other one. The only thing the other one would get is our debt. Like that's all we would have to give the other you know so it's just this like very weird thing where when you grow up you of course your family's always your family but it's such a weird moment when you realize like oh it's not. That's not my main family anymore. You know like my main family is the one that i've created. This is the family that i have that. I think the best part of adulthood. Is you go all right. I lost childhood that game. I lost this one. i'm nailing it you know it's like i love adulthood. I mean you've come a long way and you've had to deal with a lot of ship but it's it feels like when i talked to you and see you that you have found happiness which i love absolutely. Yeah that for you. yeah. I mean for anyone. I think we all have a story. That's probably that's got its moments of like raji in it and i like to. I like to shed some light on those moments because they they are the thing that makes you who you are like the worst thing that happens but without it who would you be..

"I didn't see that there and when i came and i started doing stand up and i started doing these open mic. I just saw people that were really as lost as i was. And you know it was like we had. We had time to sit on the street all night. Barking and getting people to come into a comedy show so we do five minutes. It's like do you know how little you have to have going on in your life for that to be something where you're like. This is a good way to spend the night. Oh yeah. I remember those days. Yeah the comedy store toll. Two in the morning Yeah i guess. I won't do anything but this And it was like it gave me a home. It gave me like a place to really get to know who i who i am and while i was doing it i was like. Oh this is that thing. I was supposed to. This is the thing that i missed my whole life and and it was crazy because people have been telling me since i was a kid like my dad was always like. You're funny. you know you should. You should be doing comedy. And i remember being so insulted by i i mean it was. It literally hurt my feelings. Every time he said it. I thought comedy was like that's like a loser. Profession losers wall so you came from a very interesting family of Love politics right. I mean yeah yeah. Father worked for jewish reagan. W bush was a secretary of state right. Yeah jayme yeah. James baker yeah area state and he was so he That's wild when. I see like your comedy because you talk about your very liberal. And that that's so synonymous the you know. Bush reagan obviously with very conservative views. So it's it's so interesting that i mean that part of your background. Well it's funny. Like i remember thinking as i started. Stand up like i was like. I can't tell anybody about this lookout. Really can't tell anybody then. The longer i did it the more i was like. Why wouldn't i. Why wouldn't i tell anybody about. This is like a crazy story And also you know. It was difficult for me to talk about because they. I'm not very close with my side of my family. I'm not like really close with my grandparents. I'm not super close with my daddy than like. I had to email my dad to tell him. I was getting married because we hadn't talked in like two years. You know yeah so. It was like one of those things where i was like Just seen i'm engaged and just see now. I know it's weird between not so just letting you know you know it was like back and anyway so it is like a strange thing to have this very wealthy political and browns and.

"As somebody who's been an alcoholic and as someone who has loved an alcoholic sober. I can verify. Loving alcoholic is worse. I mean it is really so much. It's much more painful because an alcoholic you at least numb yourself right now. You're kind of there for it but you're also not there for it. 'cause you wake up the next day and you're like that wasn't me though is just like drunk me when you're sober you're experiencing all of it underneath it all is this this like belief Me you would quit And of course that's insane because you wouldn't say that to a diabetic you wouldn't be like if you loved me. You wouldn't be diabetic. Like and i should have known that i'm an alcoholic so i knew but it didn't matter because i was trying to fix something that happened years before i always trying to prevent him from killing himself so that i could save someone that i wasn't who was already dead. You know. I was trying to save my sister. i've not to carry. Yeah i was. It was a lot. And i was in fair apy at that time and i remember going to therapy forcing myself to go to therapy because i was like this is really bad. I mean My life is supposed to be going better than this. Because i'm sober. I'm like i'm working. I there's no reason why should be stuck in this holding pattern of like focusing all of my attention and energy into relationships with people that don't want me and also that i'm not even really. I don't even really want them. I'm just trying to prove myself. You know right so it was really through therapy that i kind of learned what was what the game was what i was really doing right and i remember my therapist asking me at one point. Hey if you those crying. And i was like he's gonna die you know. He was back in my apartment. I had to get somebody to like. Come to my apartment to take him to the hospital..

"I and i think it's best if you never contact them again and then walk through my sponsor saito and it was just like the like i would go down the list and be like well. I did this to this person. She'd be like okay. Yeah we're gonna leave that personal loan on. Because i wanted this chance to be like redan like redeemed. I wanted this. It was really. She was right because it was all for me. I wanted a chance to be like look at me now. And it's like nobody wants to see that when you've ruined their lives like right they don't wanna see you better. They just want you go away. Happy married to here with respect. I feel you know. There's an mad. So i just had to leave people alone and that was way harder for may cause Making a policy. I was like oh. I got this i can make policy i can. I can really turn it on and like make myself charming and i think my sponsor saw that right away and was like no. We're not going to let her do this manipulative drug addict thing. Where she you know lets people know that. She's better now and sponsor yeah. Yeah she relies but man. I laugh on this podcast about uncomfortable. Things broken clock is right twice today. You know man well. At least she helped you. I'm sorry i'm not saying that. And then i was like now. It's funnier if i do the i mean. They made me laugh. Even though i felt really bad for her she probably find now. That's good i hope so. I hope she's okay. Did so was that the next like significant shift in your life getting sober. Is that when it feels like another lifetime right has now passed and was that the was that when you started doing comedy. Wouldn't you know i got. I got sober. And i continued to make really. I mean it did feel like a new lifetime getting sober..

"Alcohol drugs whatever i mean that seems to be the thing that people say something like that that helps numb feelings or or was that i mean you think those were interconnected in any definitely where i think i mean. I think i was a drug addict before. Oh yeah just based off like my personality and like memories. I have of me as a kid. Like i used to go to renan's i would hide loot under my bed and then i would go to friends houses and i would. I would just be thinking the whole time and the food that i'd hidden under my bed at home. Oh interesting and i would wanna go home to go. Eat that by myself. That would and that's like a major red goes like oh that's drug addict. Behavior lake. be out in the world with others and just feel alone while you're with them but also prefer to be alone Just doing the thing that makes you that sort of shut you off from the rest of the world. That was like a so. I think that was then me already. But this was like a perfect catalyst and an excuse for me to drink the way that i really always wanted to and stu use drugs the way that i always wanted to. Yeah and then. I mean was that a big part of your life or wh- 'cause i know you you said you're sober now. Did that awhile to get to sobriety. He was not a big part of my life. Because i was not a functional addict like i there is no i mean. I had so much pain that i was trying to work through and why wasn't trying to work through it. I was just trying to add so much pain. And i was just like really really threw myself into drinking and drugs and was like i. This is what i want to do for the rest of my life like this crash thirty. Yeah so good at this.

Okay so ian still only nineteen began renting tuxedo junction. second space so tuxedo johnston. You guys haven't surmised as a bar club situation So he starts renting their second space the bar and proceeded to open the sky bar and lounge. How many sky bars have been in my life. I can't even tell you. I can tell you zero. I've been two zero. Yeah i've at least been i. I have not been to a single sky bar. I do not give invite her to a sky bar energy like not not with this voice. You give her a call. That means that you get invited to the skyrocket. You are very cute. Like she's very beautiful woman. Y'all seen but you know what somebody who gets invited to a call. It seems lost. Someone who gets invited to a sky bar just seems up for things in a fun way. Also kind of low key lost though. That's just like loss belie. Give me a cocktail but sexy. Right your club for specific agenda. If i go around the club and i'm like so what are you here for your like bachelorette ladies night. We're here 'cause my boy just got married. We're here because my boy just got buried like you know like if you have a reason to be in the club cool but if i come up clubby you're just like he i don't know they said it was ladies night down the street calls. That's your next place to recruit. The i can give you all advice. No just pulling people from the back of the line. Go get in any way it'd be the last place you be like you. Everyone could go. Do we have a place for you. We have a place where everyone's allowed right so he opens a second space sky bar. I don't know how people get. Llc's for sky bars now. Because i i'm telling you. I've at least to seven so during this time. He was also slated to open a gourmet hamburger restaurant in a choice location. Radical new plan was to open the restaurant whose space it seems several owners over the previous years. He so this is his quote. He said we're going to be doing something a little different. We'll have high quality freshly prepared hamburgers at reasonable prices. We will also offer delivery services. I don't know if that's different from the other restaurants high quality a hamburger. Just really. don't yeah it's just he's just talking in. He's talking in a way that you that you talk to investors. You say we're doing things a little differently and then you describe something. They already know so that they feel safe enough to give you their money but they also trust you with the creative stuff because they're not creative. How quality hamburger like how high quality can we go. I mean you would. You give wasn't truffles on it. I mean i don't know how it's like high quality hotdog is the threshold on. How's it going to be got high quality mozzarella sticks like what what are you. What are you talking high quality jalapeno. Populace it's bar food bar. There's only so far we can take. Okay okay But you're right. That's investor lingo. He's trying to get the girls to give him money. Also if several restaurants have been closed in this space as someone who used to work in the restaurant industry like we all know that means. It's a bad luck situation. Like i used to work in a place called roku before that it was Someplace called chin woman or something in the before that it was hamburger. Mary's back in the oj. Trial days before that it was like it was like a bad luck space. It was something about it. Didn't work so it's like watch again right. There's so many places like that in new york you pass by that you just like. It's a new business every year. And you're like good luck. I hope you can make it work but no it's just like you're you're building a business on a graveyard of other businesses. Some spirits in there is like linear people always get something to like. Linear is because spirits. The mayor and they don't want them going in there. Stop trying okay. you're different. You're not different from people before you so yes. Father also was said to have lent him to manhattan chefs from the catering company to help open his restaurant. Now we saw would. Something fishy was giving. So if anybody can elevate a hamburger. A hamper. Gasa is probably. Something's fishy right. So sky bar folded after six months went lamp but there were rumors that tuxedo junction might close to so the whole business was doing this. Is the bar. This isn't the restaurant and so an scooped into purchase. The place tuxedo. Junction could have been considered similar to new haven's toads. Place do you do. That is.

He was hitting it ahead of time. I don't you know my it was my birthday when he proposed and You know it wasn't like a. I would love to have one of those stories where it's like. I was so surprised. I was like like not. You know what i mean. I'm in my thirties. We'd started dating. And i was like. Hey if you don't wanna get married. We should just keep moving. Because i'm going to try to find somebody wants to get married and When you are dating in your thirties there's no like it's a business. It's like a business deal. You're both at the end of your. You don't have time for bullshit and you just you let them know what you want up top each. Tell them this is what i'm looking for. And then you just get into it you just start the build a life together and it feels a lot like a business partnership in that way right. That being said he did try to make it. He you know my husband's like just the sweetest man. And he was like he tried to put it in this little to go box like we were watching eternal sunshine. Which is my favorite movie. And then he got hake out from this italian place in l. a. and the ring in a little to go box and when we were eating dessert he was like.

If you want to surprise me you have to pull out a weapon. That's how that's how women in their thirties. Are ya yana. there is. There is a lot of pressure on People to kind of make this grand romantic proposal. And i think it comes from that comes from that time when like people proposed in a way that was like i don't know the person doesn't see it coming like maybe they didn't talk about it where it was just like. I don't know man will just propose to you. Well it comes from a time when getting married was an accomplishment for women right and it's like that's not what that is anymore. You know what i mean. Getting married is is a nice thing. It's great and on its own. It's the fact that i found a man who's willing to commit and who wants to and that. I love riot is an accomplishment. But it's not. It's not an accomplishment in the way that it used to be. It's more of an internal thing. So i just find the whole the pageantry around it kind of archaic josh stupid right right. I just had a friend who got engaged in. Yeah it was like you know they. They went through the whole thing. And it was like a whole setup and all this stuff and it was like that. How exhausting.

Or i mean a lot got shot down right around for most of last year. Yeah i mean. Here's the thing. I had the special in. I recorded the special in march in nashville this year. Right right so march. Twenty twenty one and those things were like they were still pretty bad in march. Twenty twenty one. Yeah and i was like okay. Well i pop to work this hour out. Because this is coming up and i i would go to these places in the midwest that i'd be like hey i beat onstage talking about covert and people are like i've never heard of it acting in the audience. Yeah and it was an you know. I needed those audiences but at the same time i and i wanted to make them laugh but they're laughs. Were the most contagious. I was like your laughs are a threat to me so it was a very odd position to be in a comic beyond stage and And then there was also just the the politicizing of the virus and the way that if you were on stage you were a bad person. I and so. I felt all kinds of ways about doing comedy during this time and of course i was wearing a mask i was in the green room i would get off. Stage would go home. I wasn't like meeting with people right but it was. It was Gary in some places it was a little scary. Yeah it does. Get that thing of which i feel like. Your comedy is very much in this realm of like you know everyone is dealing with a lot of shit and like they want laughter but also like yeah. You have to weigh that with like okay. Is it safe to be killing people by being here and it's it is a delicate balance. But you're here you're right you made it this far. I made it this far Well i don't want to get ahead and not get other items on your list if you if you had others i do. I didn't mention hydration. Say i am really when when i was reading the question and i was thinking about it i. I turned to my best friend and i was like. Hey blair do i. What do i hate that. Everyone else loves and she was like drinking water and a half months solid point i. I didn't know that everybody loved drinking water. I didn't think that was like a unique thing. But i guess it's a very popular thing to do. I will go a whole day drinking no water and then all of a sudden i'll be like why do i feel like i'm dying. Brian like oh. I haven't drank water. So i'll i'll force myself to do it But i don't like it. It doesn't taste like anything ya true. It is that thing that you have to drink that nobody like nobody particularly loves that. Although i will say there there is like an entire cultures retire like subculture round loving water like people. Now people go hard for water they do. I guess i think it's like exercise like if you do it a lot. You start to love it right but it's very hard to get yourself to that point. Yeah i. I did become one of those i trainer. Who is like you know. You need to be drinking more water than you could possibly imagine that you think you need Which is too much water. 'cause then i was just passing constantly like there is there. Is that part of it. But i got one of those giant kind of dow in bottles of water that i would fill up and drink and it is. Nobody should be drinking that much water. It's an i all. I you could overdo it you can. I think if you'd like peeing like a pregnant woman in her first trimester. Then yeah it's gonna be a problem if you are. I think it's probably better to do that then to do what i'm doing which is like all. Get my gordon's right you. You kind of eat a slice of watermelon. And you're like that's my hydration for the day. That is a hundred percent. What i do you just nailed it. Yeah i maybe it is. Because i've started kind of really drinking more. I now it's like i do feel when i'm under hydra. I'm like oh. I don't feel like i'm like awake enough right now. I think i need a glass of water and it helps. That could explain why. I'm tired all the time to see. I didn't know i mean i care so little about water that i i wouldn't say that i hate it but i just you know it's worse than hate not caring about something and i mean that's truly meeting something implies that you wish you loved it on some level right sure water. I'm just like what is the doesn't even register in your in your hour by hour exist. Yeah not part of my daily thoughts. Yeah it is. It is one of those things that yeah. I've just kind of begrudgingly accepted that i have to. I'm the last like poster child for drinking. I'm doing a horrible job of being a a representative for the water community. But yeah i've never seen someone so upset about their commitment to drinking water. Actually you seem you seem like. I was forced into this job at the time. That's good because most of the time you see somebody and they're like i could. Just i could never right never know about your between of like knowing i need it and and and being sort of semi committed but not not having the motivation to do it which is really you know a kind of summary for my entire life. Yeah so this is kind of just unpacking That's that's the secret to this podcast. If you haven't picked up is that you know. I have a guest on and then i sort of just unload my own kind of personal issues and you just kind of on the witness my my my spiraling and all nothing and we all go home unfixed in right like my therapist. Issan this is. This is just a slightly cheaper way of me. Getting therapy so i kind of stopped going to therapy through the pandemic. I was like you know what..
Unhappy Hour with Matt Bellassai
"rosebud baker" Discussed on Unhappy Hour with Matt Bellassai
"As they did when they were alive. Is psychotic to me like if you brought me. If i ask for a burger and you brought me a full cow and i'm just supposed to just slice into it. There's no way i'm doing that. But for some reason they do that with fish in. Nobody's got a problem with it. I really don't get the The like serving the entire fish as a like on the play where you know you see the head and the tail and all of that like to me. The only way. I'm able to eat me and i'm not a vegetarian but the only way i'm able to if it's so far removed from the original being. Yeah yeah right inefficient right. Same also lobsters. I know like this this relates to the whole water theme. People love lobster. It's it's supposed to be this delicacy i need. I need people to know. Lobsters used to be food for prisoners. Okay in maine. They would throw these hair vying. See arachnids into a hole in the ground. Where prisoners were and they'd force these prisoners to eat lobster. Because a i mean if you've ever eaten lobster if it feels it takes so long to get to the meat that it feels like free labor do it. Is prison food but ben. they'd like rebranded it. All of a sudden they rebranded it and lobster had a huge comeback. And and. i think it's all wrong. I think we should just eliminate it completely john. I'm with you. i've never been a lobster person. I also they way by like you know you you get it by the weight and like most of it is just casing. It's just the rapper that it comes in. Yeah exactly no. I do appreciate though that you truly done your lobster research. You're not just kind of coming with a stereotype. you know. View of lobsters. You've done the homework. Yeah i mean every time you look at a lobster on a menu and you see that. It's like forty dollars. I want you to know they use. Just throw them at prisoners to scare them and now here you are at a restaurant. Yeah about about to debase yourself. Yeah you're being a sucker. Yeah don't do it. I am i am truly with you i. Yeah all seafood. I'm not a seafood person like sushi. It's y you know. La i feel like i will never fit in in l. a. because i refuse sushi. Yeah it's just not. It's not as not a person either. Where did you grow up. I grew up in right outside of dc okay in northern virginia which is as boring as it's now. It's not sure. I believe there's fairly boring to be fair. Yeah yeah. I mean as a as somebody who travels the country constantly just doing comedy right. I can tell you. Every place is the exact same zion. There's slight variations but for the most part this entire nation as a strip mall. And there's whatever you're looking for you've got in your town right right Yeah there. Are those little differences though where it's like people who grew up in may in or whatever will be like. Oh yeah i've eaten lobster. Since i was an infant and right about just like a part of their part of their culture up there. Yeah yeah there's a slight there's slight variations for sure. I mean you know. New yorkers are very busy. Mom but new yorkers i love new york i've lived there for fifteen years but it's an outdoor mall okay. We live in an outdoor mall through. If you really wanna make it then bowl and then. La is i mean it's the desert. No one should be alive out there. I don't know how. I mean it's on fire there. You can't get really any clear that it's literally on fire right and and everyone there drives so they're part of the problem you know but it's it is like i mean i do. I'm like such a hater. I i like living in the us. I like the. I like america even though people hate it and obviously capitalism is occurs by her. But i like it. I mean we can. We can drive. I've driven across our country like rear four times now and just done across country trip and it's it's really beautiful. I did that for fun. I've done it for a while. Moved across the country twice. And then i did it for fun the first time i did it i did it for fun and it was. It was awesome. I how how. What's the longest stretch that you would be in in a car or hours. I think is like the longest. I've done yeah so that's why I drove to chicago this past year from new york and it was around thirteen hours and like i won. That was one day. And i never want to do that ever again. So the fact that you did that and then continued on first of all but then did it. Three more times. I john or sand. I mean it's one thing if you're moving if you have to be somewhere if you have to be somewhere then you're like okay. I'm just going to bite the bullet and get through this. But obviously if you're just going to see the country it's a totally different thing and you can stop and you can enjoy places right but i've noticed when you're traveling by car there is always something that is like holding you back to the car even when you're out of it and you're trying to explore the place that iran there's this sense of like we gotta keep going so it's not a very. It seems like a relaxing way to travel. But it's really not know. I hated it so much. Yeah yeah i also did in the midst of like that was the safest way of traveling in the last year. The least exposure to people so every time i did have to stop. It wasn't like oh let me let me explore the spot. It was like every person is a potential threat..
