@@mrlint0 You need to save me so I can save the Steve! Anyone hurts the Steve catches an ass whuppin'! Then again, I'm a broke down old man with no teeth (Thanks much cancer treatment ya douche bag, a year ago, I had a nice set of chiclets...) Still, I'ma hurt me some Steve harmers!
I get that if he's a regular they need to keep him in their good books, but to invite him back in and allow him to continuously interrupt is ridiculous. What an awful venue.
The seemed clear to state the they may not have noticed him at the start of the show. As if you’ve ever been to a show it is typically pretty busy at the start of a set, ie. late arrivers, food orders and drink orders, the crowd starting to realize they need to stop focusing on their groups and on the show, etc.
@@DozITright, but they kicked him out before the show let him back in at the start, kicked him out again, only to let him back in again. There's confusion and there is willful ignorance. The second let in was also completely unnecessary. He JUST got 75 dollars back from the alleged 3 Tickets he bought. Cover the Tab with that money before sending him away, or if he is a regular, charge him the next time he comes in.
"You dropped your pocket" is an actual thing, I believe. It's kind of an old guy joke, made-you-look kind of thing. I know I've heard it out here in small-town Illinois.
"You dropped your pocket" is often found in the wild with its close cousins, "You dropped your eye," and "Your socks are untied." Very popular with enlisted members of the US military. See also Chemlight batteries, boxes of grid squares, and rolls of flight line.
@@stevehofstetter it's in the same vein as "Your blinker fluid is leaking." It's something a normal person goes, "Oh....yeah....Shure guy....thanks..." But that one idiot that actually stops and checks....you laugh your ass off at how stupid they are.
I have seen that in theatre! At Stratford, in Ontario, full dress rehearsal for Hamlet, audience full of high school students! The actor playing Polonius stayed in character to chastise an audience member, and continued on, not missing a beat! It was awesome!
I can believe that. They have some great actors; very talented performers. I love the Shakespeare festival in Stratford. My family's from Chicago, and my parents still drive up every year. I used to go with when I was younger.
As a fairly new Steve fan, if Steve ever goes back to Mobile I'll be there. I know he wouldn't do a show near me so if he's in Mobile, Birmingham or maybe New Orleans I'll be there..
I'm from Mobile, Alabama growing up in the hood lost lotta my patna out cher most killed each other, neighborhood so bad remember going to recreation just to get a free meal homie like you fr yea I but i know i made it out shout out to Steve Hofstetter on some real 💯
Actually, Steve and Brett had a lot of positive things to say about the crowd itself (minus, of course, the cap'n & his first mate). Their criticism went towards the crew operating that venue on that night, rather than the crowd or Mobile per se, at least as far as I can see it. I think they were having a pretty balanced and differentiated retrospection of the things that transpired. Anyway... Btw, also a new Hofstetter fan, although I only became aware of him very recently (took you a while - but still, ... this time you did well, algo)...
Can we just notice how amazing Brett is as a friend tho like who else is gonna support you and protect you and your business like thay?? Like he’s the best
15:09 I actually went to a theatre play, where some people were talking and the actor actually did come out at the very end, letting people know how disrespectful it was.
I've been binging your videos and suddenly I'm picturing Captain Silver Fox, Really Drunk Lady, Nazi Guy, Fresno's Mayor, Angry Grandma and Tim in like a Legion of Doom setting plotting your downfall in the dum eat way possible.
The more I was watching, the more I was thinking what a rubbish venue this is. How bad is their business, they depend on this 1 guy who likes to cause a scene? He buys more alcohol than the rest of the audience? At least they apologized at the end, so that’s still something. But really steve, I have no idea how you didn’t lose your cool. I would have been furious at the staff.
619WWEFAN Agreed. That was also my thought. It seems like that particular venue needs to have a better protocol on addressing hecklers/drunk-&-disorderly patrons, even if they happen to be regulars like this guy apparently was.
Exactely Philip. If a guy went to the same cinema like 3 times a week, even the cinema wasn’t a very popular place, other customers would be furious if that 1 person kept yelling and screaming throughout the movie. Same here. I actually wonder, if this venue has a bad reputation for maintaining such behaviour.
If he is such a regular, then them telling him "you can settle up next time you're in" even if he doesn't, would have been better than allowing him to make another scene, if he doesn't settle it the next time he's in, then what? you lose x bucks, but a room full of patrons at least got to enjoy a show and there isn't the threat of much greater escalation..
Fu** that venue man! You have to be able to rely on a certain level of competency from the owners and staff. They failed you and the audience in their responsibilities.
I was in the crowd, sitting solo at bar. I couldn't come close to telling the story this well. It happened just this way. My only thoughts when it happened, bc I watched all of Steven's roast clips, was that maybe this was some type of staged thing and he was the opener, buuuuut then it got weird. Cheers for powering through SH.
The owner should have done a better job than letting this guy continue being a pain in the butt. It doesn't matter if they are friends. Friends don't let friends be ass-holes. Protect The Steve should be on a shirt. I would buy one. #ProtectTheSteve
I really found the music distracting from enjoying the video. But otherwise it's another great example of Mr. Hofstetter's talent at dealing with morons.
Mobile is so weird, even going to a gas station is an experience. One Mardi gras, it was sleeting and just gross and cold. This super drunk guy starts taking all his clothes off, and trying to fight families in the street. He then lays down in the nasty street, and just chills.
Now I have to go see Steve and bring him a rubber bouncy ball and tell him that he should keep it in his pocket so he will never be without a bouncer. That was a terrible joke and I apologize.
That club is horrible. Letting someone THAT wasted to interrupt what everyone else came to enjoy is not good business. I would never go back to that place again...
He didn't give an F about Tuesday morning because he didn't give an F about MARCH 😂 loved that! Do you guys act as additional security for each other, like in actuality, or do you just hang close so you can try to diffuse the situation if it's obviously going the wrong way? I mean like the WAY wrong way, not the normal fun wrong way!
Where the hell was the staff? The whole thing was allowed to happen for that long because the staff didn’t have the stones to do their job. They need to consider there was a room full of people that paid and then had to spend a half an hour listening to an idiot embarrass himself and make the venue look inept. Sloppy drunk on a Monday says it all.
I like how you're a super funny comedian and you come up with hilarious bits and stuff, but then you're also like "haha. That word has poop in it". That is why you're one of my favorite comedians (the heckler stuff is funny too I guess).
And the outlet just sits there on the wall, like a pair of stacked 😮 faces listening with rapt attention to this thrilling anecdote. Seriously, once you notice the outlet you can't see much else! 😆
This is so disgusting on the part of the owner/bartender. Was there noone there she knew who she could have asked what was going on? I would never go there if I knew what place it was.
~ I am watching this on a Monday, and I am marvelling at the stupidity while at the same time enjoying seeing Steve and his friend, Brett. When you like and enjoy someone you don't know personally (Steve), it is very hard to understand how someone could be rude and mean to that very same person. Alabama tugboat guy L.O.L. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
I sing and play harmonica. I was playing an open mic once. I've got this song where I am talking about racing cars. The one stanza goes 'so now the cops got my car, and I'm sitting in this cell, next time I'll build it faster, and the cops can go to hell'. I frequently stop the song right before that line and ask if there are any cops in the house, just to be funny, and to make sure any cops no I'm just singing a song (and please don't ticket my car.) This particular place didn't have a real stage. I asked this question and this guy walks right up in front of my, stands about a foot from me and starts to explain that he used to be a cop in NYC, in one of the secret units. It seemed like an hour passed, but it was probably only about 20-30 seconds. I finally explained to him that it was a rhetorical question to set up the line as a punchline and he wandered off. The owner kicked him out. It was a coffee house, so I don't think he was drunk. I think he was just a little crazy.
Steve, I love your videos and I am very much looking forward to when we can safely gather to appreciate your work in person. I just wanted to say, there was something about the way both of you were talking about this guy that I've been thinking about since I watched this last night, and I've figured it out: this is so much like how we women feel in similar situations. The guy encroaching on your space, and not listening when you tell him to stop, politely because you're worried about escalation, or retaliation. As a woman, I really *felt* this in a way I totally didn't expect to when I first started watching this video, and I wanted to say thank you. You make me laugh my ass off on the regular, and you've made me think, but this is the first time you've made me feel, and I felt it profoundly. Fantastic job to you both for your discussion and handling of the situation! Virtual germ-free high fives and hugs to you both!! Sending much love to you guys ♥️♥️
Ok, I was nervous thru most of this video...the story, the background music..I was sure you were going to tell us someone tried to attack you XD So glad it worked out ok in the end. Shame the staff didn't do their job, though. You did awesome, Steve! Hi Brett!
Both of you guys are SUCH a class act. Love this behind the scenes stuff, your book is excellent and I love your show. Question - if I bring my copy of your book to the show, do you think I can get it autographed after ??? Keep up the great work !!!
A friend of mine waited tables at a comedy club when we were in our 20's, so I was a regular. There were cpl other regulars. If ANY audience member is asked to leave, regular or not, the staff was on it.
This is an awesome video, I really like the longer more detailed videos and that Brett guy is a really funny man. Definitely bring him to Australia when you come next Steve! Thank you and I hope to see many more videos like this
Steve, I disagree with that bartender whole heatedly, you aren't mean to people (hecklers interrupting the show) I honestly feel with every single one of these vids, you are protecting the rest of the audience. So they get to see the show they paid for from you, not the weird drunk dancing they didn't pay for.
As much as I hate seeing horribly socially awkward dramas playing out in front of me [those for which I am not responsible], I kinda wish I'd been in Mobile, AL that night for the show. A true master class in mind-fuckery. Thank you for the effort that went into making this and for letting us share in this spine cracking cringe.
"You could've just told him a mermaid was outside" - Steve hahahaha I wish you did. I'm genuinely curious and dying to know how that would go. I have a feeling the reaction would not have been what we would expect. It'd be a lot better.
I think I can honestly say I’ve never seen anyone with better metaphors and analogies than Steve… such an articulative smart human being. Makes me pretty proud to be a redhead because some people. Well done Good Sir! 🫡
Sucks that the club owners weren't a little more savvy regarding etiquette during a comedy show. Maybe a pre-show chat with the staff is going to become a sad, but necessary chore at unfamiliar venues. You guys handled it with aplomb, and explained it well. Good luck on the rest of the tour.
Oh my goodness, we just got your book in our school library! Been watching clips of you all week, but I hadn't made the connection. Glad your tour is taking you to NJ.
Heads up, my New York and New Jersey tickets are on sale now if you haven’t gotten them yet. I’ll be in New York, Bellmore, Bohemia and New Brunswick. Grab tickets at SteveHofstetter.com and see you there!
I love your shows Steve...I just wanted to say I've watched many a person looking to the floor trying to locate their dropped pocket...lol it's kinda funny.
I used to watch these and think Steve manipulated how often a comedian deals with this, then I worked at a comedy club in times square and realize now he probably has way more
The best joke you could have used for the Coast Guard line would have been “Say the coast guard comes up and gets on his boat, they ask him his name, and then they instantly find a ton of cocaine on board, and then he gets mad at the coast guard saying “THEY came onto MY boat!!” lol. I could just see the wheels in your brain turning for an awesome joke there but you JUST missed it haha 😂 But that would have worked perfectly in my ever so humble opinion, sir. Haha 😊 I literally watch your videos every night before bed to put me in a good humour lol. Keep bein you man!!
good Lord!... i know that you have said it before, "why don't these venues have some form of a doorman?" You proved yet again that you are a professional, fair and willing to give someone a second, or third try... Looking forward to seeing you out on the road sometime soon.
How the hell does this only have 500 likes? This is fascinating, entertaining, educating, and a great insight into handling uncomfortable and potentially dangerous interactions.
Hecklers interrupt because they're histrionics who love a captive audience. They can't get one of their own (for good reason) so they just hijack someone else's. It's absolutely a symptom of a mental issue.
I have heard that as a young boy, mostly dad types would say it as a joke. I am referring to ''dropped your pocket" but since there are no kids at the show.....lol.
I used to work with drop your pocket guy. He did it to me because I drank and it was hilarious to him. Well done in my opinion. We became friends quick. It's so fun to just fuck with people when it's just for a laugh. Edit: not THIS "drop your pocket guy" just someone who had a good sense of humor and knew the joke
I'm proud, and ashamed to say that I've been both Brett an "Captain Silver Fox" in these situations. I've also been a bouncer at a place where I've escorted someone out, just to have some other ass let said person back in a couple of minutes(!!) later... I've also been a performer (pub-musician) where staff has just looked on in amusement while someone heckles me. Not so easy to diffuse when you're doing music instead of comedy. Never been a tugboat-captain, though..
Protect the Steve! Lol!😂
Steve needs to hire a Ginger Guard to protect him.
Save the Steve save the world.
Dont heckle The Hof!!
Brett is fucking awsome
@@mrlint0 You need to save me so I can save the Steve! Anyone hurts the Steve catches an ass whuppin'! Then again, I'm a broke down old man with no teeth (Thanks much cancer treatment ya douche bag, a year ago, I had a nice set of chiclets...) Still, I'ma hurt me some Steve harmers!

A local place had a similar.. regular. Its a tough spot to be in. Drunkard may regard the venue as a home/family cuz he has nothing else.
@@DozITI mean, The door guy had already removed him once and he came _back_
@@DozITright, but they kicked him out before the show let him back in at the start, kicked him out again, only to let him back in again. There's confusion and there is willful ignorance.

Brett Druck:
He protec
He attac
But most importantly,
He make laugh.
"Captain Silver Fox"
oh great, he's got a fursona
No, a Silver Fox is what people call a grey haired but still attractive older man (basically, he still sees himself as sexy - deluded, if you will).
Furries. lol
Someone get on top of making a ref sheet for our fav comedian Steven Hofstetter.
General silver fox outranks him
lts actually 'captain silvercock'
"You dropped your pocket" is an actual thing, I believe. It's kind of an old guy joke, made-you-look kind of thing. I know I've heard it out here in small-town Illinois.
I could see that.
Still extremely dumb, even if multiple people do it.
Heard it in rural Vermont, too. Lot of burned out hippies find it hilarious, so I always kind of thought it was a "tripping" thing.
Someone told me that on my way home from work one night. He was in the passenger side of his best friend's ride, naturally.

I was planning to make that comment since the video started, then read the comments. Honestly the best comment section on youtube.
The “General Silver Fox” line was actually super funny.
I have seen that in theatre! At Stratford, in Ontario, full dress rehearsal for Hamlet, audience full of high school students! The actor playing Polonius stayed in character to chastise an audience member, and continued on, not missing a beat! It was awesome!
I can believe that. They have some great actors; very talented performers. I love the Shakespeare festival in Stratford. My family's from Chicago, and my parents still drive up every year. I used to go with when I was younger.

Oh man, that's fantastic! And I love Stratford, I'm from Montreal and went with my high school a few times, I've gotta go back now as a grown-up 😁

I can't stop staring at the power outlet conspicuously located in the very middle of your backdrop.
@Meissel Herrera I'm still wondering. Is it photo shop or are they sitting super close for symmetrical filming.
FUCK you made me stare at it.

He "chills" in the sleet. Ha ha ha
i live like 45 minutes away from mobile and i can confirm that its the weirdest fucking place in Alabama

Props to your video editor! Love the Captain image superimposed over his face, and also the wacky inflatable arms flailing tube man!!
"You could've just told him a mermaid was outside" - Steve
hahahaha I wish you did. I'm genuinely curious and dying to know how that would go. I have a feeling the reaction would not have been what we would expect. It'd be a lot better.
There is something called being, “groundsick.” It’s basically, “seasick,” but it’s the ground version if you’re always out to sea
I think I can honestly say I’ve never seen anyone with better metaphors and analogies than Steve… such an articulative smart human being. Makes me pretty proud to be a redhead because some people. Well done Good Sir! 🫡
Sucks that the club owners weren't a little more savvy regarding etiquette during a comedy show. Maybe a pre-show chat with the staff is going to become a sad, but necessary chore at unfamiliar venues. You guys handled it with aplomb, and explained it well. Good luck on the rest of the tour.
Oh my goodness, we just got your book in our school library! Been watching clips of you all week, but I hadn't made the connection. Glad your tour is taking you to NJ.
Heads up, my New York and New Jersey tickets are on sale now if you haven’t gotten them yet. I’ll be in New York, Bellmore, Bohemia and New Brunswick. Grab tickets at SteveHofstetter.com and see you there!
I love your shows Steve...I just wanted to say I've watched many a person looking to the floor trying to locate their dropped pocket...lol it's kinda funny.
Wow. You guys handled this like champs.
I used to watch these and think Steve manipulated how often a comedian deals with this, then I worked at a comedy club in times square and realize now he probably has way more
@13:40 "He has a lot of steak in here" and he's not sharing?
OK, so I might be hungry.
“These are not the shows you are looking for” is that josh wolf inspired 😂😆☺️
It’s star wars
“Fuck off seaman! Haha, semen.”
“Good one Steve.” 😭
The best joke you could have used for the Coast Guard line would have been “Say the coast guard comes up and gets on his boat, they ask him his name, and then they instantly find a ton of cocaine on board, and then he gets mad at the coast guard saying “THEY came onto MY boat!!” lol. I could just see the wheels in your brain turning for an awesome joke there but you JUST missed it haha 😂 But that would have worked perfectly in my ever so humble opinion, sir. Haha 😊 I literally watch your videos every night before bed to put me in a good humour lol. Keep bein you man!!
3:51 Land legs
Have a Nice day thank you, I literally yelled that at my phone.
Thier names popping up after every time they cut back to them through oit the entire video is the funniest part of this video
good Lord!... i know that you have said it before, "why don't these venues have some form of a doorman?" You proved yet again that you are a professional, fair and willing to give someone a second, or third try... Looking forward to seeing you out on the road sometime soon.
I think it's awesome you handled the after-years of Captain Ahab so well.
#DroppedYourPocket
It sounds an AU Moby Dick where, in a surprising twist, the whale wins the boat in a class action law suit.
How the hell does this only have 500 likes? This is fascinating, entertaining, educating, and a great insight into handling uncomfortable and potentially dangerous interactions.
That’s not the first time haha you played it twice gold 😂
My brother cut out the rear pocket on an old pair of jeans just so he could throw it on the ground and say "I dropped my pocket"
That background music agggg! Kill me now!
Possibly the best lead in question for a video *ever* 😂
Love the long format
I've heard people say "You dropped your pocket" as a stand-in for "your fly is down"
That orchestra analogy was on point👌🏻
You dropped your pocket!!!
Best heckle pickup line ever.
Hecklers interrupt because they're histrionics who love a captive audience. They can't get one of their own (for good reason) so they just hijack someone else's. It's absolutely a symptom of a mental issue.
LOL! "These are not the shows you're looking for." Hilarious!
love the electrical outlet. ;) the third comedian..
I have heard that as a young boy, mostly dad types would say it as a joke. I am referring to ''dropped your pocket" but since there are no kids at the show.....lol.
@12:53 he asked me my name! Hahahahahabahhahaheuslanfjeosjghroowhfhf wtf I laughed way to hard at that he did that well
Steve reminds me of one of my teachers from middle school when they mad 😂
DC comics need to pick this up 😂
Love it Steve .... .... Wooot my book just showed up and can't wait to start reading ... thanks for all the laughs...
Brett seems like THE quintessential 'wing man'! Really respect y'alls respect for each other.
I used to work with drop your pocket guy. He did it to me because I drank and it was hilarious to him. Well done in my opinion. We became friends quick. It's so fun to just fuck with people when it's just for a laugh. Edit: not THIS "drop your pocket guy" just someone who had a good sense of humor and knew the joke
"You dropped your pocket" I don't know why that's so funny lol
A tug boat captain dancing around? Where was this? Reno? Lmfao
Cody’s sports talk show LOL
The overly beveraged can either be a lot of fun or will just ruin everything.
I love the orchestral analogy!
I'm proud, and ashamed to say that I've been both Brett an "Captain Silver Fox" in these situations. I've also been a bouncer at a place where I've escorted someone out, just to have some other ass let said person back in a couple of minutes(!!) later... I've also been a performer (pub-musician) where staff has just looked on in amusement while someone heckles me. Not so easy to diffuse when you're doing music instead of comedy. Never been a tugboat-captain, though..
