jehos hat how did I get in there what kind of dark magic is I play It's new stand up comedy schedle half of most resistance appears on YouTube one week from tomorrow please welcome James [Applause] [Music] Adomian I have to say it's weird to see you as you I I know I was worried I was watching it backstage and I was like did they get the wrong guy out of the claw machine how do we know it's not just Mike Lindell was like I cleaned up really good now sometimes now I have to say I'm confused because most of the time when we talk every once in a while we in the hall we'll talk whatever and it's you and I have to tell you it's always a little weird for me but um the mustache is that always glued on or sometimes you do have a mustache this has thrown people off for centuries about me okay sometimes there is a mustache and sometimes there's not and then sometime I I like mustaches but they have a way of going away uhhuh and so you know sometimes when I'm here it's fake and sometimes it's real but it looks realer when your makeup department does it because that's how good they are it looks more like M lell how long You' been doing that here now uh 3 years three years is that only been three years since yeah the right at the the end of the pandemic I love it it's one of my favorite things I mean it's one of those imitations that nobody else does gosh Jimmy oh boy let me oh boy it's so great to be here I feel like I live in the world of pillows and you're the dreams that I have tonight the pillow comes off and they love this in Minnesota especially where Mike is from right I know and he brought that up cuz he was here with us right right yeah and he was like uh he was like oh gosh they really love you in the Star Tribune up in the Twin Cities do you do is is Minnesota accent like was that in your repertoire beforehand I I just I keep stumbling into it I'm not from there I've been there I know it's cold you know what it's like yeah you go to Minnesota and you're like how do they do this and I just keep stumbling into it because they have like a really they've got the weirdest accent up there possible they do right it's just it's just it's like Lake we're Lakeside but it's also the lakes are made of ice who else is from Minnesota Governor ventor Jesse V you got it it's like it's way further down here you you got Jessie ventur it's like somebody took a standard Minnesota accent and left it in the oven too long and uh well Prince passed away you probably don't you don't do Prince yeah well it's the same as the Jessie that's what it sounds like uh you did the artist formerly known as the governor you did Bernie Sanders with Bernie Sanders I saw that that was very funny yeah that was a fun thing to do was it fun for Bernie did he no he didn't know cuz he's can tanker he's a grumpy guy like America's Grand dad who didn't get the job of Granddad and he like he didn't want to do it we were doing this thing Bernie versus Bernie he didn't want his team wanted him to do it but he didn't personally and then he was trying to back out at the last minute and they were like the senator wants to talk to you he's not sure if he wants to do it so I'm in the middle of putting this makeup on and I get the phone call and there's a tremendous throat clearing on the other end of the phone hello the germs and I was like yes Senator I know this is a big break for you right now yeah was like what are we doing and I was like well I want to make you look good talk about some numbers you know the top 1% of the top 10% of the top 1% is a smaller percentage than the bottom 99% comp the square root of 400 is 10 * 2 that's just pure math right there and does he like does he think it sounds like is he appreciated no he was like this he was like okay all right and he has a way if there's if Bernie has a microphone he will touch it he'll be like all right wait yeah drives TV people crazy how much longer are we doing this and his his wife
