Shane Gillis Talks About Why He Moved to Austin

you moved here I did yeah you moved here since we last talked to you yeah you made a big move so like um cuz you moved from New York yeah wow and was there part of you that was kind of scared was there like what were you thinking cuz I mean I've thought about it you know and and a lot of people have done it you know no I'd come down here a lot because you know do Rogan's podcast do podcast down here do comedy so I've been down here enough so I wasn't worried about like living here I was worried about uh comics being like ah [ __ ] he left New York he's trying to [ __ ] suck Rogan's dick that that was like I was like that's going to happen I know that M uh no I was excited Matt was excited about it so I knew I had Matt coming down with me and then we brought our other friends and was good yeah yeah yeah I uh and ta taxes are oh yeah butt [ __ ] New York dude yeah it's crazy it's great yeah and uh oh what's that in your daughter's bedroom what's that in the oh that's extra taxes that's what ta dude that's taxes and a couple of SAS bro like damn lot of taxes up there oh it's crazy it's extra I think 14% what's the state tax rate in New York City up there Zachary I think it's uh 10 oh he's guessing what is it no I'm not guessing I got here 4% to 10.9% you see here wow cuz Los Angeles is 13 I think per yeah I was Hing around that 4% range for a while when I lived in New York and then you probably moved up into at least that 6.85% yes yeah yeah dude so that's kind of crazy so you moved yeah like yeah I think some people say that they're like oh do you want to move there because Rogan's there because Dylan's there it seems like the new thing and I think yeah I kind of maybe I don't know if I had some fear I don't know I don't know if I had fear of that you definitely think oh people think you're just yeah you're just riding that guy's wiener you know yeah somebody F yeah I mean um but also he's like I would say it if I was still in New York somebody else moved here be like [ __ ] [ __ ] couldn't take it I'd do the same thing so yeah come back and pay these high taxes pay these [ __ ] taxes live in a [ __ ] hole in New York yeah um but no I just wanted to move to a place where you could do standup during the week and forever it was just New York and La that's now now you can do it in Nashville and Austin does it feel well Nashville you cannot oh really yeah you cannot it's not the same I will I'll say that 100% it is not the same as what it feels like here yeah like even just going over to um the Mother Ship it's like you can do three sets in a night probably yeah you can do you can do four every single time there's usually two shows in the small room two in the wow main room I mean that's crazy you do four sets a night yeah four sets a night in the same building that you can go do I mean that's that's unprecedented you know it's changing what's nice is watching like like mccusker cuz he was in Philly where you can't do that and now he's been living here just a few few months and he's he's got he's gotten so good really just from doing yeah he can do it every night yeah I met him last night or I met him uh at your yeah I met him at your podcast I met his wife too yeah Britney is her name yeah yeah yeah yeah she got he got a beautiful little wife yeah she's great um yeah dude I think having that much ability to get up is it starts to change you you're like oh I just practiced it he didn't go in there let me let me try it you're like right there you get the bomb four times yeah take it on the road be like I'm not going to change anything [ __ ] it's still not working what has been like did you find a house immediately how did you find a house down here uh I just had a lady a real estate lady I was like I just need a house that's furnished because I don't have anything yeah so she first house she picked out I was like that's it oh yeah and I didn't see it until I moved in nuh-uh it was nice yeah I moved in I was like it's [ __ ] nice oh it's like that show where you meet your wife the first time yeah that's Brave I was the thing I was most worried about was the television mhm cuz I thought it was like they I thought they were going to hit me with like the Airbnb pictures like you get there and you're like oh [ __ ] this house sucks TV's big right so I'm good oh that's good H we're set thank God it's furnisher I would have never I'd never furnish it really yeah I'd have one folding chair in front of the TV yeah yeah yeah my house was furnished when I got my house thank God and uh and then who told me oh Tom sigur told me in this room he said hey man you got to start getting some art for yourself you have to get something you like cuz it really does start to change the way that you think about your own home Tom's becoming like the Jay-Z of standup you got to invest in art you got do yeah he's got art he's got sneakers he's got uh yamar uh what the car is called the fastest one McLaren McLaren is that it yeah that's wild to me I think I would be scared to be like real R I wouldn't know how to do it I bet you're all right oh I think I'm I'm okay having more money for sure but I think if I tried to be real Rich I just don't know how I would I don't know what I would spend money on you know like would you get a super fast car um no I don't I'm afraid to drive fast yeah yeah I think yeah I just don't know what I would get probably guns probably a couple you got to get guns Yeah couple for your neighbors couple for you give them out yeah you don't want to shoot at your neighbors hide them in your kids room your neighbor kids room start [ __ ] guns how's it have you felt good about moving here now once you moved here was it kind of like different or was it different than you thought like what are some things that were kind of cool about it I don't know it's I you know you know when you move I was sad for like a week oh really yeah I was by myself it was scary I was used to having [ __ ] I was used to living in apartments I lived in Philly and New York the last decade so I was like there's usually somebody around now I was out there by myself I got scared for a while I was scared really I get scared at night noises yeah yeah you think it's a noise and he say you farted just waking myself up with farts the [ __ ] was that uh yeah I mean I was scared for a while yeah I would I was emotional I would cry during movies when I was at at night by myself oh yeah yeah uh so that's what you have to look forward to scare and you cry that's it oh that's just I think that's just part of the American condition these days then oh you're fine then yeah that was all um yeah cuz I think I thought I don't know if I thought Nashville would be a busier comedy scene I I I didn't think that um because they just have one club that's like a functioning Club there right it's like they have a a headliner flies in every weekend so they they help you as much as they can but they just don't have as much space you know um and then there's not a lot as many other rooms around the area but here it's like yeah it feels like you could go like we met a guy last night he done like five spots you know yeah you can do that here it's like wow yeah I mean that's crazy to think you could do that in a city Ian there was never ever maybe Chicago you could do that in maybe I don't know New York obviously you can yeah la la definitely those are the two yeah but that was yeah I don't know do you think about moving back from here you think you're settled in you're good I don't know I don't think I'll live here forever but yeah I like it here yeah what that's just a big I don't yeah I I don't know I'll probably move home to like outside of Philly wow yeah eventually yeah yeah I like it there I don't know sometimes I think about maybe moving or getting a also living somewhere else I think it's fun to spend time down here Austin is cool a is fun you can do standup it's a beautiful city yeah a nice city it's a fun city yeah there's a lot of neat stuff yeah there's a lot of neat stuff I think so that's been pretty cool just thinking about it you know even coming to seeing like your house it's like oh okay this is what it would be like to live here this seems like I could do this you [Music] know
