Summary

Tom Rhodes and I met up at the Moontower Comedy and Oddity Festival and we talked about his vagabond lifestyle. Tom has no home. Every week he travels to a different location for standup comedy. He has no place to go back to. Just on and on and on forever. He sees every corner of the earth in his travels and it's really cool.

0:00.0	You know we did two months in Europe last summer and then we had a week off and we went to Rome,
0:05.8	rented an apartment by the Vatican for a week and that's so cool. How beautiful was it?
0:12.3	It was awesome and you know my family we started out Catholic so I flew my mom over and took her
0:19.1	to Mass at the Vatican. Really? And yeah it was a big thrill.
0:23.1	Sometimes it's hard but you got to understand when the Lord made me. He made a random man.
0:42.5	I hate starting podcast intro's over. I got 10 minutes in, 12 minutes in and I realized
0:47.2	it's so fucking lame. So I started over. Hi you guys. How are you? Welcome to our
0:51.6	H.J. Fair skeptic tank. On today's episode I'm our H.J. Fair. On today's episode I'll talk to

1:00.7	I'm in Austin, Texas at a park. I have my shirt off so that I can get some sun to make me not
1:05.4	want to kill myself from depression. But in return I'll get skin cancer and die when I'm 75.
1:11.9	You heard it here first God. So if you give me skin cancer it's an unoriginal idea but I'm definitely
1:16.5	going to get it. I don't wear some block all over my body. I like I like being in the sun.
1:22.3	Tom Rhodes and I were doing his podcast at the International Hotel on the patio and we'd got
1:29.2	like 10, 15 minutes in and then Mark Marin came up and he joined in and Judah Friedlander came
1:35.1	up and he joined in. He should probably get that one. It's a really good one. But so Marin asked Tom
1:44.1	hey man where you're living now because when I started comedy Tom Rhodes was like one of the
1:49.6	guys in in comedy. He had a Comedy Central special when they still mattered to half hours
1:54.4	those first few years but he wasn't around in LA anymore and then he really also wasn't
1:59.6	around New York and it's like where's Tom Rhodes. I knew I heard he got some TV show and Amsterdam
