Matt and Paige are joined by musician Stick Boovey and stand-up comedian Floyd Jones for a chaotic, funny, and surprisingly philosophical hang.

Floyd talks about performing on Kill Tony — what the experience was really like, the pressure of those sixty seconds, and how brutally honest live comedy feedback changes the way you write jokes afterward. The group dives into bombing vs. killing, chasing stage time, and why comedians willingly put themselves through psychological warfare for laughs.

Stick shares the moment he realized his TV was quietly murdering his creativity… so he sold it. That decision spiraled into a deeper conversation about boredom, discipline, and why removing distractions is sometimes the only way to actually make art. He also explains the legendary pizza tattoo — yes, it got him free pizza for a year… but only once a month, so technically 12 pizzas total. Worth it? Debatable.

Also discussed:

• Motivation vs comfort
• Creative habits that actually work
• The comedy grind in Michigan
• The strange psychology of artists
• Whether small rewards can trick your brain into big productivity

A classic Good Times, Noodle Salad episode — equal parts jokes, existential crisis, and terrible life decisions that somehow make perfect sense.
