Speaker 2 (00:34):
I'm Jim.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
To my left, my lovely very dangerous co host, Miss
debv Roberts. Oh hello there s try to head producer.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Casey two times. Anybody, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Hey, look right off, rip, This is a little different
than what we usually do on this show, but we
have a really big star on the line who's going
to be in town in a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
You guys, give it up. Good laugh for the legend.
Mister Dane. Come, why look at this guy? Well, you
look at this guy. Hey, weren't you just twenty two
years old?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Look at that right when you're having fun?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
How you doing, Dane? How's things?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I'm great? I'm great.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Every time I go on my zoom, I suddenly realized
I look like I'm in mister mcgoram's magical viborium over here.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Not at all. I love it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Star Wars stuff everywhere, Star Wars with blood on it.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I love it. The only thing I take it.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I'm a big geek. I'm a big movie geek. I
love it.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
It's the pickleball T shirt because you know how much
I hate to pickleball.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I want the Vader helmet. So what's been going on?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Man?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I know you're gonna be in town in a couple
of days for a big show out of the hard
Rock Live, one of the best of venues we have
for comedy here in Central Florida.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
We've got new We've got new movies coming out, We've
got new comedy specials being filmed. We have a documentary
I've just worked on for the last few years that
is being shopped around right now. So it's going to
be a very, very wild twenty twenty six. And I'm
telling people to come see me on tour now, because
the sad news is I'm taking all next year off
(01:54):
comedy wise, to focus on the promotion of the documentary,
the book that's gonna come out at the end of
the year, which that's a spoiler. I'm not even supposed
to talk about this. My team's going to be made.
It's a very busy year ahead. So I hope people
will come out and see this last Florida show for
some time.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
That's awesome, Dudedane Cook on with us.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You know, interestingly, Dan, you know, I just heard an
interview with Nate Bargatsi, and of course he's been touring
perpetually now for about seven or eight years. He said
this is going to be the last big tour because
he wants to kind of get into TV production, and
I know he's doing a sitcom kind of thing. So
when you're a big touring comic like this and you've
had the success you've had, you know, major movies, big,
huge comedy tours, the whole nine yards, how do you
(02:32):
decide to break up your time like that?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
What is the deciding factor there? Where's the pivot point
for you guys?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, it's a great question. I think that especially somebody
like look at Nate. You know he's had a tremendous run.
It'd be good for him to take a little time
off the road. You spend some time with your family,
you spend some time working on other projects. But truth
be told, it just highlights the stand up that you
want to bring back out there. I promise you, his fans,
(02:58):
my fans, you want somebody to take a break because
you want someone to come back with that fervor, the
fresh material, fresh perspective, life lived under your feet. So
it's always a good thing when you take a little
time off and step away from the mic.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, I think it is too.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Doesn't it give you like a different fresh perspective, Because
here's the thing I don't, I mean, I don't. This
is my perspective, Dane, Like, I think life moves so
much more quickly now because of social media, because information
there is no the transfer time for information where it
used to be. Like I pick up the newspaper, I
consume that that hits the news cycle the next two days,
then it does the whole process. It takes a week
(03:33):
today out of the news cycle. Now that entire process
is a two hours how do you deal with that?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Oh yeah, how do you deal with that?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
As a comic writing writing material that's supposed to be
relevant like now and every day when you could write
a joke about something that hits now, but a month
and a half from now, it's played.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
So back in like.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Two thousand and three, two thousand and four, right before
Vicious Circle, which was arguably, like you know, I was
sort of like underground nobody for many years and then
Vicious Circle. I learned something when I put out that
special because if you watch that, we film that in
two thousand and five, if you watch that today it's
still on HBO, you will see that what I learned
from that special was everything in it you could watch
(04:15):
today except for some maybe a bad hairdo and some
two tight jeans. Everything else still plays. So that taught
me something in my comedy career, which is I'm not
a monologue news of the day guy that doesn't really
interest me. I'm always trying trying to find that minutia, observational,
little twisted so that you can listen to it now
(04:35):
five years, ten years and hopefully find like a little
bit of yourself in my material.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Talking to Dayton Cookie's going to be at the hard
Rock Live Friday, eight o'clock in the evening. That's the
seventeenth coming up this weekend here, David, you got super
hot kind of quick. I know it's kind of weird
saying that, because a lot of comics will kind of
toil in the small clubs before they hit the big scene.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
It's that whole overnight sensation thing. Yeah, you get super hot,
and then of course there's always that cooling down period
before you kind of come back.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
What was that like for you? What is that like?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
So when it hits so hard and then all of
a sudden, your it just seems overwhelming, and then there's
that pause.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
What is that pause like?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Yeah, so when people say like, oh, you skip the
clubs and you went right to theaters and arenas, and
I was like, wouldn't you Those clubs suck most of them.
It's like, get me, get me out of here. I
want to live in like the Motel six from Wednesday
to Sunday night.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
No way.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I was always like I want to rocket, man, I
want to get I worked really hard. I was real diligent.
I was in Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd
type of person, which meant I wanted to bring that
that performance to the masses.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I was a big audience.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Performer, So for me, it was like twelve years to
become an overnight sensation. It was many years in the
college circuit, you know, doing the local clubs in New
York City and Boston. So definitely was not quick. And
then finally whenever thing popped, I had, Like for me,
when I look at it, it's like I had an
eight year run of everything from movies, TV specials, you
(06:10):
name it. It's like, in today's day and age, you're
lucky to have an eight week run.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
And so I make no bones about it.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I'm grateful beyond I love that I have a career
thirty four years in that's that's still strong and imperative,
and that I can come out there and hang with
you guys. Do shows have my old fans come out?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
What are they doing? They're bringing new fans to the show.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
So I think that the keyst success in standup is always, always,
always finding ways to move forward and not try to
do what you did before.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Sure thing one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
How do you write material now as opposed to when
you were younger, because your life experience are so much
different and new and fresh when you're younger. Now, yeah,
you've got this. I mean you look, the entertainment business
is not easy. Now you have that. You have dealt
with all these people in the entertainment business. You've dealt
with club owners, you've dealt with managers, You've dealt with
all these people for these years.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Has that changed your perspective on how you write comedy?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Now, it's a great question. And here's the best part.
I've been in the I'm the old bull. Now, I've
been in the game so long that some of my
material is actually making fun of myself that I thought
something was funny or fifteen years ago. So it's like
ignorance is bliss. It gets actually some of the material
now it's like, you know, I talk about, like, for example,
(07:24):
being married, and part of what people are going to
see on this on this new show, this new hour
is like I used to be the guy telling everybody
if you were married, you're a fool. It's fun being
out there. I'm single, I got all the girls, I
got all the success. Now I'm literally calling those people loser.
I'm calling myself a loser from fifteen years ago, telling
(07:45):
people like no, no, being married, that's where you want
to be. So it's like I get to have a
little fun at you know what do they call that?
Like self deprecating. Sure, there's a lot of comedy in
looking back and talking about the things that you thought
you were right about which you were actually not right.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
That's great.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I haven't found anything that I've been right about.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, I look back with so much regret.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I got to go back.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I don't even look at the review anymore. I'm so
sick of it, exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Dane Dane Cook on with this Friday, October seventeenth, He'll
be at hard Rock Live.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Tickets you can get right there at hard rock Live
dot com.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Uh, let's talk about something a little controversial. This Reod
comedy fest obviously caused a bit of a stink for
a number of people, Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart,
many other people. As he'sa I'm sorry, just got kind
of confronted with that on I think it was Kimmel
the other day.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
You did not know were you invited to go? And
if you were, yes, I was invited. I've not spoken
about this all I think that you're the first people
to ask, so answers. Yes, they wanted me to come over,
and I politely declined.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I felt like my decision.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
You know, again, I have no bearing on other people's decision,
but for me, it just h it was as simple
as it just didn't feel like the right thing at
the right time, and so I, uh, and yes, I
was offered. I guess Shane Gillis's quoted is calling it
a bag. It would have been it would have been nice,
it would have been paying the mortgage for a while.
But for me, it was not something that I was
(09:07):
interested in doing.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yeah, you know, and even I think even to double
down on that, I think Shane said that they offered
him the bag, he said no, and then they doubled it,
and then the yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I didn't get the double bag.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh man.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
But then the initial thing with Tim Dillon, you know,
came out and really kind of blew the lid up.
This thing on his podcast, he says, the cats are
getting like one point six mil for this gig. You know,
he did a forty minute gig and they and they
take care of you over there, And of course I
have to assume the accommodations would have been the top
notch and stuff. I mean that that has to be
a hard decision, but you know, for some people it
was not.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
It was not a hard decision for me to say no.
I felt like, again, I have so many amazing irons
in the fire, and I feel like there's such a
I haven't seen the documentary yet, but when you guys do,
there's so much goodwill and there's so much about my
life that I want people to focus on that I
wouldn't want that conversation to impede in any way on
(09:59):
some of the things that I'm really excited to talk
about with you guys in the months to come.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Bro I gotta tell you, man, Bill Burr is the
one right now. Like you know when you talk about
Bill Burg's getting into his podcast pretty bad in the
comments and stuff. And I agree with you one thousand percent.
I mean, for that one moment of time, for that
to follow you around for the remainder of your career,
I think you made a fine decision there. Let's talk
about doing comedy documentaries as opposed to doing feature films.
Did you have an on like when you got into
(10:23):
the business SCE and you realized you had some juice.
Did you have a plan like you wanted to do
when sitcoms were relevant? Did you want to do a sitcom?
Did you just want to go straight in the movies?
Did you want to be in the production end? I mean,
did any of that cross your mind?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Or was it always just yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
It was a couple of things. I mean, actually, the
one thing that sort of eluded me because I always
wanted to do films, even though I was like, I
have a fat Irish head.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I don't know if I'm ever going to be on.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I have some cistic acne form. When I was a kid,
I was like, maybe they could fix that in post.
But I never I never dreamt that I would have
that leading man status. But lo and behold, life sometimes
throws interesting, you know, mysteries your way. So had a great,
great time doing the films. The one thing that sort
of eluded me is a great playwright. Neil LaBute approached
(11:11):
me about doing a very very excellent play that he wrote,
a play called Fat Pig that aired in London but
never ended up going to Broadway. He asked me to
do it with him on Broadway. We were in rehearsals,
and then we lost our finance here before we were
able to go live. So that's the one part of
my career that I've done. Television, I've done, I've done everything.
(11:32):
I've done, you know, radio, I've done podcast, but I
have still not had a chance to do Broadway. And
I hope that that sooner than later.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, that would be kind of fun. I hear.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
It's quite a challenge actually to do Broadway her it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Well, I mean that's what stand up prepares you for.
Though nothing is a scary as being alone up there,
but the idea of you know, being collaborative and putting
together a director's vision in that live space. I think
that that is a challenge that I am ready to accept.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Well, Dane, look, I cannot begin to thank you enough
for breaking off a little bit of time for us.
You can see Dane live this Friday night, October seventeenth
at hard Rock Live here in Central Florida. Of course,

name it. It's like, in today's day and age, you're
lucky to have an eight week run.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
And so I make no bones about it.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I'm grateful beyond I love that I have a career
thirty four years in that's that's still strong and imperative,
and that I can come out there and hang with
you guys. Do shows have my old fans come out?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
What are they doing? They're bringing new fans to the show.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
So I think that the keyst success in standup is always, always,
always finding ways to move forward and not try to
do what you did before.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Sure thing one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
How do you write material now as opposed to when
you were younger, because your life experience are so much
different and new and fresh when you're younger. Now, yeah,
you've got this. I mean you look, the entertainment business
is not easy. Now you have that. You have dealt
with all these people in the entertainment business. You've dealt
with club owners, you've dealt with managers, You've dealt with
all these people for these years.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Has that changed your perspective on how you write comedy?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Now, it's a great question. And here's the best part.
I've been in the I'm the old bull. Now, I've
been in the game so long that some of my
material is actually making fun of myself that I thought
something was funny or fifteen years ago. So it's like
ignorance is bliss. It gets actually some of the material
now it's like, you know, I talk about, like, for example,
(07:24):
being married, and part of what people are going to
see on this on this new show, this new hour
is like I used to be the guy telling everybody
if you were married, you're a fool. It's fun being
out there. I'm single, I got all the girls, I
got all the success. Now I'm literally calling those people loser.
I'm calling myself a loser from fifteen years ago, telling
(07:45):
people like no, no, being married, that's where you want
to be. So it's like I get to have a
little fun at you know what do they call that?
Like self deprecating. Sure, there's a lot of comedy in
looking back and talking about the things that you thought
you were right about which you were actually not right.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
That's great.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I haven't found anything that I've been right about.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, I look back with so much regret.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I got to go back.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I don't even look at the review anymore. I'm so
sick of it, exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Dane Dane Cook on with this Friday, October seventeenth, He'll
be at hard Rock Live.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Tickets you can get right there at hard rock Live
dot com.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Uh, let's talk about something a little controversial. This Reod
comedy fest obviously caused a bit of a stink for
a number of people, Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart,
many other people. As he'sa I'm sorry, just got kind
of confronted with that on I think it was Kimmel
the other day.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
You did not know were you invited to go? And
if you were, yes, I was invited. I've not spoken
about this all I think that you're the first people
to ask, so answers. Yes, they wanted me to come over,
and I politely declined.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I felt like my decision.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
You know, again, I have no bearing on other people's decision,
but for me, it just h it was as simple
as it just didn't feel like the right thing at
the right time, and so I, uh, and yes, I
was offered. I guess Shane Gillis's quoted is calling it
a bag. It would have been it would have been nice,
it would have been paying the mortgage for a while.
But for me, it was not something that I was
(09:07):
interested in doing.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yeah, you know, and even I think even to double
down on that, I think Shane said that they offered
him the bag, he said no, and then they doubled it,
and then the yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I didn't get the double bag.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh man.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
But then the initial thing with Tim Dillon, you know,
came out and really kind of blew the lid up.
This thing on his podcast, he says, the cats are
getting like one point six mil for this gig. You know,
he did a forty minute gig and they and they
take care of you over there, And of course I
have to assume the accommodations would have been the top
notch and stuff. I mean that that has to be
a hard decision, but you know, for some people it
was not.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
It was not a hard decision for me to say no.
I felt like, again, I have so many amazing irons
in the fire, and I feel like there's such a
I haven't seen the documentary yet, but when you guys do,
there's so much goodwill and there's so much about my
life that I want people to focus on that I
wouldn't want that conversation to impede in any way on
(09:59):
some of the things that I'm really excited to talk
about with you guys in the months to come.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Bro I gotta tell you, man, Bill Burr is the
one right now. Like you know when you talk about
Bill Burg's getting into his podcast pretty bad in the
comments and stuff. And I agree with you one thousand percent.
I mean, for that one moment of time, for that
to follow you around for the remainder of your career,
I think you made a fine decision there. Let's talk
about doing comedy documentaries as opposed to doing feature films.
Did you have an on like when you got into
(10:23):
the business SCE and you realized you had some juice.
Did you have a plan like you wanted to do
when sitcoms were relevant? Did you want to do a sitcom?
Did you just want to go straight in the movies?
Did you want to be in the production end? I mean,
did any of that cross your mind?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Or was it always just yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
It was a couple of things. I mean, actually, the
one thing that sort of eluded me because I always
wanted to do films, even though I was like, I
have a fat Irish head.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I don't know if I'm ever going to be on.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I have some cistic acne form. When I was a kid,
I was like, maybe they could fix that in post.
But I never I never dreamt that I would have
that leading man status. But lo and behold, life sometimes
throws interesting, you know, mysteries your way. So had a great,
great time doing the films. The one thing that sort
of eluded me is a great playwright. Neil LaBute approached
(11:11):
me about doing a very very excellent play that he wrote,
a play called Fat Pig that aired in London but
never ended up going to Broadway. He asked me to
do it with him on Broadway. We were in rehearsals,
and then we lost our finance here before we were
able to go live. So that's the one part of
my career that I've done. Television, I've done, I've done everything.
(11:32):
I've done, you know, radio, I've done podcast, but I
have still not had a chance to do Broadway. And
I hope that that sooner than later.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, that would be kind of fun. I hear.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
It's quite a challenge actually to do Broadway her it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Well, I mean that's what stand up prepares you for.
Though nothing is a scary as being alone up there,
but the idea of you know, being collaborative and putting
together a director's vision in that live space. I think
that that is a challenge that I am ready to accept.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Well, Dane, look, I cannot begin to thank you enough
for breaking off a little bit of time for us.
