Speaker 6 (17:13):
Yeah, you got a podcast out of that wedding? Didn't

Speaker 5 (17:19):
That's right, that's right. You know. I tried one, but
I sucked at it. You see, I'm sure I'm trying
not to interrupt. This was before zoom. I was. I
was I they go you got, he goes, there's a studio,
We'll give you a studio, and uh. I got tired
of like bugging people to be on it, and in

(17:43):
some of them they were kind of crazy. I won't
mention names. I had to hire a lift and he
didn't how to get in the building of the runout,
and one kept bugging me, I want the link, I
want the link. And I feel guilty because you know,
not hardly anyone. So there was what we did with
norm called in remember yeah, yes, yes, and uh but

(18:04):
it was uh, I'm not again, I'm trying not to interrupt,
but I I just yeah, I'm not good at interviews
as I'm showing here and.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Being Fred. Yeah, but I'm not.

Speaker 5 (18:21):
I'm not a but yeah, but al Magical I never could.
So there was there was this I'm not making fun
of someone, but maybe I am. There was one time
I was opening for Norm in a Irvine and do
you know Keith, Well, I shouldn't say. He always talks
he's autistics. Do you know who I'm talking about? He

(18:42):
says it, and uh so.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Like I'm we're not gonna be on.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
One time, I can't still pronounce his name, like, uh
so he was the MC and he was going to
bring on al Magical Is that how you say it?
So he's pronouncing his name, how ma He's like, and
then he goes, lady John, I'm a gallery gas. He rehearsed,
all right, I suck go back to talking about so

(19:11):
he met he met with the audition. People aren't following me? No, No,
he was. He was introducing how Magrical as burgers. Yeah, yeah,
one time on the spectrum. So one time Norm me, oh,
he's he's going to watch this, but he talks, No, no, Keith,

(19:33):
but he talks about you know his condition, Yes, doesn't
he yeah, all right, verify this. So what time Fred
Willard and his wife came to see the show with
me and Norman and Keith was there and no one goes,
I don't mean to cause any trouble, but Keith has
autistic you know, and will It goes the funk is

(19:56):
that and Keith goes, I got no empathy. Sounds like Rodney,
I got no empathy.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Hilarious.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
I need anything bad because Keith he'll he'll call up.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
So people with as Burgers have empathy.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
Well, that's what he said.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
He goes, that's a symptoms.

Speaker 6 (20:16):
Burgers is like kind of a lesser autism. It's not
like you're not hardcore autism. You're kind of like that's
what you're cutting normal.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Just he said, like my friend broke his ankle. I
didn't care. So it's sort of like he said, no empathy.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
That makes sense that man before.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
It's a very specific condition before us with ankles.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
It's funny, man before.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
My asperg is just when people hurt their ankles. I
don't care.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
As Burgers, I don't need to ask, but become an Asperger.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Asgar Habsburger as Berger.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
Here's the reference of an angle I'm not making fun.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
That's a good one. Become with the asperg would eat as.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Everything.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Hell yeah, man, so what's up? Are you afraid agatting deported?

Speaker 2 (21:10):

Columbia other way, I try not to. You know.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
Doom scrolling, No, it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
What is.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
The world when you just look through your thing and
you're getting depressed. I think it's like Russian Roulette, which was.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
A bomb.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Scrolling when you it's like Russian Roulette, like Fred, get
off the thing. You're going to see something that's keep
going and scrolling scroll.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
So that's different from going to a rabbit hole. The
rabbit hole you're learning doom scrolling like.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
You get oh my god, oh my god, it's getting worse.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
That's why I do that. I sometimes do that.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
It's like it's a hypercontract.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
I don't know. I don't like watching peoples being popped,
you know, but or or somebody getting Assistan removed. But
I but I do watch it. But but then I
don't watch it. So I can watch it a little
bit but not a lot. But then I go. Then
I pass forward it. I had to find out how
that guy looks. They like, but we watched the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
So that is that guy. That's that actor. That actor's
name is not not great. But the guy to the left,
he's a poor, weaken actor, but he's always played Italian
guys him right there, he's in He's also in King
of New York. He's he's a police officer in Kings
of New York. Look him up. What is his actors name?

(25:14):
Look at that movie King of New York.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
That's a nice afro.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
He recently died. That guy he the part of the
There's like a group of actors that hung out together
in New York and they're all friends, and he's one
of them. Sammy Jackson, the redheaded guy. What's the name
from Caruso? Yeah, Caruso, Sama Jackson, Caruso. All these guys

(25:41):
who were in the movie Kings of New York and
they're all buddies. But a friend.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
That's all reminiscent of where you grew up at too,
the Warriors in that point in time.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
You see if I can find it. Let me see
if I can find him right there.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
You know, it's an underrated show. Did you ever see
The Deuce on HBO? Or they It was about forty
Second Street to start the porn industry, but it was
VI but it was really uh for me. I used
to take live at home and take the D train

(26:11):
Times Square and and hang out at the improv, but
you would see all the porno arcades.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
And yeah, you were living there.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
When New York was gritty.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
Yes, and that was the time. I remembering with Gilbert
to see uh, what's it called American Werewolf in London
and the movie The TV Should Deduce with James Franco
was really good because it was seminal, was very you know,
even though it ceedy. That's what it was like, hanging
out at the comedy clubs, at Times Square, at the Improv.

Speaker 6 (26:42):
That's back in the day where they had that Times
Square Killer and all that, right the seventies early eighties.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
You mean David Berkowitz. No, not not not the son
of Sam Times Square Killer.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Was killing a bunch of like sex workers and stuff.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
That happens a lot, but it was normal.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Was the Warriors actually accurate like how gangs were or
it was just like I don't think they had it
was real?

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Said they didn't have inter racial gangs?

Speaker 1 (27:07):
You know what I mean? Uh?

Speaker 5 (27:08):
And I am a gang expert, so I know you
asked me that.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Like, were the actually people like dressed as baseball players.

Speaker 5 (27:16):
They bring me into like gang movies, it's the consolet
and I go, no, that's not the how the hunch people.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (27:24):
I'm just gonna ask really bit real quick over there,
like they had the baseball players and softball players back
in the East coast out here, they had the football
players with some of that.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Any correlation with that ship, Oh no, man sounds made up, damn.
But I know that that poppy what's the name, he
was in a gang like that, Louise Gooseman. Look at
Louis Gooseman wearing his gang attire, a young Lose Gooseman
and that food wearing a vest and the vest has
is a gang attire, bro from when he was in

(27:53):
a gang like like he was in a Puerto Rican
gang bro club. Yeah, because he what happened in New
in New York, they saw that movie of Health Angels Forever,
and they sallowed vest and the people wear the gang
wearing the best. So that saw what they that's what
they saw as as a as a gang. So everybody

(28:13):
started wearing best, you know, they started wearing those best
and then now lay you know, we didn't really fall
for that, you know, like wearing best. You know, we
had because in California we already have bikers already we
already know what a biker was in a movie.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
The line was a great movie.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
So then zoot suits is what we are lay with
more about? Oh interesting because then but then, like you know,
pop culture and whatever film you watch, people start dressing
like that.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
Wait, see what happened to me growing up in Brooklyn.
I'm not from the gentrified Brooklyn. I'm from like Welcome
Back Hatters, Saturday Night Fever Brooklyn. And do you know
the movie Saturn Night Fever.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
You ate two slices of pizza at one time?

Speaker 5 (28:59):
I Brooklyn, but I never saw that. I don't know
that's a Brooklyn thing. I don't know. But but when
that movie came out, it was showing how racist and
small minded these people were. They didn't get it. They
emulated them more.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Hey, the change that facts?

Speaker 5 (29:20):
What's that?

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Was that actually true? The way they were acting in
Down Night Fever.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
Well no, they they weren't until Saturday Fever. Then they
acted more like good point, they emulated them more. We
sure he got stupid and small minded they were. They
went more with it when the.

Speaker 6 (29:37):
Movie the same thing with the words that after it
came out like gangs areted coming out popping out.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Colors to same thing over here.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
But there was one guy.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
There was something wrong with him.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
And I went to some party and he was he
was playing ring around. What's the thing musical chairs? This
is a Brooklyn tough guy, you know. And he and
he had a shaane that said sweat Hoogs. He thought
he was really scary guy the sweathangers was welcome back Codder.

be like that. Welcome back the border Lord, Lord Lord

Fonsie next to like a motorcycle because they don't want
him to be associated as a gang member or something
like that.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
Yeah, he would do. He would be on the motorcycles or.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Something like that. That's why I read that. There's like
a thing with a back then they don't want like
Phonsie to.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
These articles coming from Onion.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
You know that Henry Winkler him him. You know when
have you heard the reference jump in the Shark? Yeah,
you know the reference comes.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
From from when he jumped the shark in the boat right.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah, bro. For somehow they all ended up in Santa
Monica and Episodipe.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
Fred stole or jumped the shark.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah man, and they fucking fly over. They jumped the shark.
And then somebody wrote a book. I guess somebody from
Howard Stern came up with a website jumped the shark,
and he sold it for a million.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Damn.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
There's a there's a website where if you want to
watch a movie, if he could know if the dog dies,
if a cat dies, does the dog? Yeah, well you
could know if you want to avoid a thing, if
you don't like animals dying in movies.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Speaking of actually speaking of animals this morning, that came
this morning right to the house. And then I was
like I was tripping or something. I looked them. When
we made the left turn over here to come into
the street, I saw this homeless man sleeping in a
dirty mattress over there on the corner. Then they said, say,
oh my god, look and there was a lady. She

(33:11):
was walking with a duck and her little duck lins.
Bro like six duck lins following behind her down the street,
and the lady was kicking a crow away to the
crow trying to eat one of them against babies, yeah,
the baby ducks. But there's no lake around here. There's
no lake. No, I don't know, so what happened. What

(33:33):
I was thinking was I was thinking was and I
think was thinking that there might be an abandoned house
here somewhere with with a pool that not being used nowhere.
So now the ducks live there, and then she has
their eggs, and now I guess they're gonna sell the
house and they're fixing the house. So the bro those
ducks were walking in my hair on the street like ha,

(33:55):
but it was cute, like I was like, But the
whole time I was thinking, oh man, I'm gonna go
back and see what's those ducks, you know, driving to
a pond or something. I didn't have a driver license.
But then when I drove back, I guess that that
lady must have guided them somewhere. But I thought that
was strange, right, who is that weird? Walking on this
peach live Madler, This tall was a fucking little But

(34:18):
fools have ducks, Yeah, ducks.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
That just fools have ducks.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
The whole flock ducks.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
I had a baby dug when I was Yeah, definitely
got it from the what's called the little pet store
chickens too.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
I think the duck flow away and the chicken ran
away because you know, you can go to like those
little chicken places to uh so you can eat them
and you can keep them.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Ask pets if you want jes poultry full off of Broadway.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
What Soft Food? Welcome back to the whatsaw Ful podcast.
Who we have fresh Stler here and he has a
brand new look available now for you to buy then
and he does the audio for it. What's the name
of the book.

Speaker 5 (35:06):
It's called My Friend Norm. It's about my friendship with
Norm MacDonald. It's positive someone did a thing where it
looked negative. It's processing my friendship. Actually you're mentioned in it.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Have you listened to me yet?

Speaker 3 (35:22):
No? No, Just so.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
The first time I was going to open for Norm,
he was freaking me out. He was texting me on
the plane. I don't know why. I was getting text
going I need you to do an hour tonight. And
I had my act in six months and I go,
what you know? And he goes, come on just tonight.
I don't feel good and I was seeing opening should

(35:45):
be easy. When I opened for Philippia Sparza, it was
twenty minutes or fifteen. I used to like when they
Philippa goes, hey, just keep it to fifteen, and here
I can't do an hour. I go out, Am I
going to do an hour? He goes, you could remember,
I'll help you remember it, and I goes, he messing
with me, you know what I mean? He goes, you

(36:05):
come to my room.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
I remember your act.

Speaker 5 (36:07):
I'll help you remember your jokes. So it was he
was just just freaked me out on the plane ride,
just and I mentioned you in a positive way. Uh,
and Norm too, So it's just, uh, if you like
my other stuff, yeah, yeah, yeah, my Seinfeldier. And no,
it's not like a everyone's going to come out. Norm's crazy.

(36:30):
Everyone's in crazy Norm stories. There's some craziness, but it's
more like dealing with the processing, you know, when he
died and other stuff.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
A little bit of camaraderie in there.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:44):
Our friendship. It was a weird friendship and could you
play cool. This is from a promo from the book
Tuesday Afternoon. That Tuesday, I was about to take one
of those it's the afternoon. I don't know what to

(37:06):
do with myself. Naps, my eyes were closed about to
escape the judge in my mind that beerates me for
living another day of aimlessness. When a young writer named
Jeremy texted condolences, soon scores of text came flooding in,
along with voicemail messages, emails, and messages on social media.

(37:31):
My friend Nor MacDonald was dead. One of the many
calls and messages I received was from my friend Kelly,
who thanked me for the time I had invited him
to see a movie with me and Norm the interpreter
staring Sean Penn. Kelly cherished a time spent hearing Norm's
hysterical remarks when we chatted after the film. Lisa, an

(37:53):
attractive waitress, also relished the time I included her in
Norm's orbit. I had invited her to a local comedy
club when I was opening for him. Perhaps one of
the most flattering things Norma ever said about me was
when Lisa joined us after the show. Look at her,
She's the mal equivalent of Freddie. Freddie is the mal

(38:14):
equivalent of her. I had always crushed on Lisa, never
thinking she'd go for me. And here Norm was saying
we were equals. Lisa texted to thank me for the
special night we had hanging out with Norman Pasadena a
few years prior. All of these people who thanked me
for their wondrous experiences made me appreciate my own experience

(38:39):
with Norm that much more. They had one or two.
I had hundreds in the more than thirty years I
knew him. So that little promo for the Audible, this
guy great eye. Cody and I have a YouTube stream
where you could see the creative process of he did

(39:00):
the cover and he did that little promo and if
anyone could subscribe on YouTube at Fred Stoller's page, and
we have people like Q and A talking telling stories. Well,
Cody does animation for me. As you saw. That's awesome
and thank you and he's a great animator. And so

(39:21):
that's the Audible out. Yeah, so it starts with me
finding out and flashing back talking about Uh. I taught
for him for almost a year and it was different
than working with Felipe. You know, I had to be
like his assistant. Any of the times someone recognized us,
Freddie Uh comped them like he'd like get rid of
them on me get that for the show I had,

(39:44):
you know, so it was like, uh, yeah, I never
had to, you know, do stuff for you like that.
But it was a it was a fun, weird friendship. Yes,
so I'm plugging the audible and uh the YouTube stream.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Also, that's not the only book he has had. Other
books he's written to that book which maybe we'll have
you back and the Young Comedian one, Yeah, five minutes
to Kill, five Minutes to Kill and my Seinfield years.

Speaker 5 (40:12):
Yes, so just little inside stuff and yes.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
That's a good one. People are asking a chat room,
are you gonna do signings book signings?

Speaker 5 (40:22):
Well, the last one is just like an hour and
eight minutes audible, but you know, maybe I'm gonna do
it on my YouTube stream. Like I give out, like
I gave out a Seinfeld script the soup I wrote
not to sit Nazi, So I give out.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Like he wrote the soup about the one where the
guy wants to take the suit back, right, that true.

Speaker 5 (40:45):
Story in real life, this annoyed. Do you know Bruce Byrnoff? Yes, yes,
in real life he comes up to me, Hey, I've
been working out my suit doesn't fit me. Thousand dollars suit,
do you want it turned out I found out he
bough did it some close out rack for two hundred.
He goes, he take me out for he yeah, it's okay.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
How'd you find out? You're like this guy know who
knew and.

Speaker 5 (41:10):
Said him and this other guy they went to a
closeout rack. Everybody they never bought a thousand dollars suit.
So so he gives val and he goes, you take
me out for a meal. We're even. So we went
to this. We went to Jerry's Deli and it was like,
he goes, I'm hung. I ate, I'm just gonna have soup.
I'll save the meal. What twenty bucks?

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Four?

Speaker 3 (41:33):
He had?

Speaker 5 (41:33):
He had soda and soup and and then I told
it to Larry David and that became like the episode
the soup count is a meal?

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Fred?

Speaker 5 (41:43):
Yes, do you saw the episode?

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Right?

Speaker 2 (41:46):
That's funny.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
I want an episode st every.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Day classic dude.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
Yeah, it's uh.

Speaker 5 (41:52):
And I wrote the one where Kraimer has to apologize
to a monkey.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
Yeah he wrote that. You wrote that. Yeah, in real life.

Speaker 5 (41:58):
When I was a kid. It's funny. We went to
this place in Florida called Monkey Jungle.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
As the store around it is what part of Florida.
Man monkey jungle.

Speaker 5 (42:11):
Like a near near like an hour away from Fort Lauderdale,
and the monkeys just monkey jungle, you see.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Yes, twenty bucks, that's not bad.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
It's great. You walk around the monkeys, they wait, you know,
to get fed, and they're above you. And I loved it.
But I remember as a kid this image. I could
still picture. These grown men were throwing rocks at the monkeys.
They didn't hit them, and the guy was the son
of a bitch. And the woman who works there goes,
what are you throwing rocks at monkeys for? And then goes,

(42:43):
they started it like a monkey took around you, son
of a bitch. I'm getting my friends, you know. So
I told that story to Larry David. It's good to
a creamer gets an monkey and he has to apologize,
and so that, yeah, that was fun. They brought in
the it's I guess it's a chimp. People are not

(43:04):
politically correct. He goes, it's not a monkey, it's a chimp.
So that that actually ties to norms. So there was
a well I still call it a monkey, you know that,
you know. So then I'm I was on norm show.
He had a sitcom did you ever see a norm show?
And and yes, yes, yes, I love that. That monkey

(43:27):
was so funny.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (43:28):
You know, when you write an episode, usually Larry David
changes the names because he like he like, like when
I was on it, I remember that I played the
guy who couldn't remember Lane and uh and and Lane's going.
Don't you remember Katie Asher's party? And Julia Dreyfus said

(43:48):
to Larry David could because it was always a thing
you want to like, you know, Seinfeld such an enormous show.
You know, like Larry, they as favors, they were their
friends would go, could you mention my name in the show?
So Julia goes, could we use one of my friends
for katy Ash? And he goes, oh, I promise katy Ash.
You know it's a real person, you know, so he

(44:11):
would do it. So I named in my script the
monkey Mitchell, and he changed it to Barry but for
whatever reason.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
But I'm sorry, did you read the episode where we
Lane has that British in real life?

Speaker 5 (44:29):
I love that one in real life. I just used
things for my life. Yes, I remember one of these guys,
you know, he's they'd go, we have to make things up.
Nothing bad ever happens to us? How could you say
nothing bad ever happened to you? Wanted to punch him?
Now something there? But I believe yeah, that guy. So
I did a show called London Underground in nineteen ninety,

(44:52):
before all you were born. And you remember the show
London Underground. I remember they flew and nor you know
Norm's going They kind of you know, they thought they
realized they didn't realize were morons. We would do it
for nothing, but you got five thousand. I remember I
was following Emo Phillips, who I was bombing because here's

(45:14):
another guy trying to be like the other guy, another
American like, but he was the more cartoony version. So
I met a woman there and I thought I bought
her an opening to ticket two thousand, and then she
got mad when I'd say watt instead a part in
It's proper, and then she left me and stayed with
someone else, you know, off the ticket I gave her.

(45:35):
So they tied that with your money. Oh about the monkey?
So Norms show they had a monkey there too, and
I said, oh, you know, there was a Seinfeld episode
of the guy goes that's you know, he points to
the monkey. There, that's Richie whatever, I'm making it up,
Richie's cousin. Richie, he goes, he goes, monkeys. They understand.

(45:57):
If you bring in a picture of Richie's cousin, he'll no.
So the next day I bring in a polaroid and
he puts it in his mouth and they did the
fucking sandwich. He thought it's a sandwich. He doesn't fucking know,
you know. So no, yeah, no, would would crack me off.
But I love working on sitcoms when there was like

(46:19):
a monkey or an elk or something. That's a very
random observation. Well, you work on a show in this.

Speaker 4 (46:27):
Well therese be like the longest episodes because sometimes you
had to make sure that the animals.

Speaker 5 (46:32):
Yeah, they would usually pre tape it before the show
if they knew, you know, like I remember I did.
There was a show called Dog with a blog like
a kid, and there was there was a Disney right, yes,
there was a dog on it, and the guy got
cocky because Luthor or whatever the dog's name is, gonna
making it up. What's more money? The dog didn't know,

(46:54):
and they would screw Luthor and they fired the dogs.
He didn't know, And so the dog had like a
if you could get the dog with a blog picture.
So they put in a new dog the next year,
but it had looked like Luther and they they painted
like a black thing around its eye. So I was,
do you remember that this is an oldie show, empty

(47:17):
nest and it was a dog called Dreyfuss. Paint the
thing on the dog. They brought in another one and
and uh and Dreyfus was going seen all at the
end it was sad. He could could quite do it.
So no, no, the dom d Richard Dreyfus too, he

(47:38):
doesn't remember lines.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
Lill dog had Alzheimer's.

Speaker 5 (47:41):
Yeah, and he couldn't do the trick. And off stage
anytime you see a dog doing something, and it said, come,
you know someone's off stage doing things like that.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
So they replaced a dog because the owner wanted more money. Yes,
so that happens a lot, right. Well, owners they're like,
fuck you, we can just replace Like the lady.

Speaker 5 (47:58):
He thought, you're not going to get another with a
brown eye. Don't get cocky. Uh you know he'll paint
your eye. I don't want to say, but so, yes,
how did we get a monkey? Seinfeld?

Speaker 1 (48:14):
Yeah, i'd you I thought that this episode that friends,
there were no lines on the face painter on Seinfeld,
you're rooting for the devils. Yes, the hockey. I wrote
that one.

Speaker 5 (48:25):
No, No, I co I wrote the monkey aspect of it.
So I remember. It was the last episode of the
ninety four ninety five season. I knew I wasn't coming
back as a writer. I wanted to be in Seinfeld
in any capacity. So he said, hey, can I sit
in the audience? You know, yeah, I don't care, you know,
and they put the jersey on me and I jumped

(48:46):
up and down. Yes, behind Putty. I remember, you know,
when I was on Seinfeld, the biggest thrill was sitting
in Monksteiner, just because it was great. You I did
scenes with a lane and everything, but that diner is
so iconic, you know, just to be an extra must

(49:08):
be amazing, you know.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
So I did.

Speaker 5 (49:10):
I did that line where I walked by and Jerry says,
my foot fell asleep, you know, and I go, You're lucky,
Alicia got something to do. And that was he kind
of wrote for me. At first the guy's name was Pete.
Then when they Larry gave it to me, he goes,
he's kind of a schmuck like Fred. I'm gonna change

(49:31):
it to Fred Do you mind?

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Fred? Is schmuck name like you?

Speaker 5 (49:35):
Larry Dave an impression.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
But yes, a lot of the interior shots were in
New York or because because I went Stary extra, because
I went to the I went to the Stiplel Department yesterday,
in Koreatown.

Speaker 1 (49:52):

I went there yesterday.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
Hide. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
I shot a video on Instagram too. I was like,
what the fuck do you don't know? That was crazy?

Speaker 5 (50:16):
Yes, yes, but it was done in uh Ra Bradford Studies.
They used to have a thing called New York Street
where one three shows in Earth. They used to have
a show The Single Guy and Caroline in the City
and all the scenes, the New York scenes were the
same street. I played a mugger in Caroline in the City,

(50:39):
which was fun. I had a gun and I mug Caroline.
But it was all Yeah. The Radford lot was where
I did Seinfeld. I remember there was They did so
many shows they did Larry Sanders Third Rock from the
Sun on that lot. I remember John Stewart was on
Larry Sanders and he was there and I was on

(51:01):
the outside talking. He starts applauding. It was because John
Cleese walked by. He was on third Brack from the Sun,
and he was so respectful. Do you young kids, do
you remember Monty Python?

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (51:11):
You know, yeah, you know. I did my first actual
sitcom because I did Superstore, but it was it was
single cam. But I did the actual sitcom the way
you did. I did Tim Allen's Shifting Gears on ABC.
An audience had an audience. I was not used to that.

Speaker 5 (51:31):
It's weird.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
It's the same. Yes, then the audience. But because you know,
my whole life, I wanted to be an active membering alliance.
But there's so many rehearsals that you remember. Also, we
did a run through, right, I'm right there, see and

(51:53):
you know Fred that was one. So that was the
end of the theater. That was the end of the
of the of the studio the building. So that was that,
and then this part was Tim Allen's office, and the
next one was his living room, and then this one
was the bedroom. So it was fun, bro, like, they'll

(52:13):
just shoot our scene and then they go all right,
and then they'll move to the.

Speaker 5 (52:17):
Well, what do you see Mary Tyler Moore? Right, yeah,
you know Mary, get in my office and you can
picture the cameras just you know, going next door and
uh yeah, no, no, those three cameras are kind of
nerve wracking because all week you do a run through,
then you do studio run throughs and you know, and
you can't really mess up because you had a guest.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
And they do they do that. They do one without
the audience, with with a with the laugh, with a
little laugh bark, they do your laugh.

Speaker 5 (52:46):
Track, a little buzzer. They pressed button like a laugh.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Horn because I thought that there were people there, but
there was nobody there. But they want to talk to
the act that was with me. She was really like,
she was cool. She can't run in line with me
and she said, no, that's a safety one, the one
they shoot like that because it's the case. You do
the live one with the audience and then go well,
they will go back and look at the other one.
But it was cool man when they had the live

(53:13):
audience and never bring a live audience right and they
have so many people sitting down, tourists and right there,
and of course they don't know I'm gonna be there.
So as soon as as soon as I popped up,
some fans recognized me. They were so food but yeah, man.
And then they introduced all the characters by how many

(53:37):
lines they.

Speaker 5 (53:37):
Had, Yeah, by the biggest to the last.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
So we had we did a rehearsal for the bow. Yeah,
we had to rehearsal for the bow because to make
sure you come out right. So then I came out. Yeah,
I think you very much. And then the cool partner
if you did this, But we had a run of
the show was the actors inside the makeup room with

(54:04):
Tim Alley. Yes, so Jim made was sitting in a
makeup chair and sold of the other actors and I
was sitting in a chair and we run the whole
show with everybody in that room. I thought that was cool.
Found our summer camp, yes, yes, no, that was then
when you're waving by, you hope that of course maybe

(54:25):
they'll have you back.

Speaker 5 (54:26):
I remember one time on Norms show, met him and
already lang. Norm insisted we sneak off so he could
play tennis. He was we were about to do a taping.
He was more concerned about beating already lying in tennis
because kept meeting him. You don't realize for tennis you
could be a big guy. You just place it. So
we snuck to this thing and we're getting sweated up,

(54:49):
and I go, norm, but we're about to tape the show.
You know, should be playing tennis. Because I don't care,
and he doesn't care. Then I don't care. And then
they found us and brought us back and just wiped
off the sweat and we went right to the tape.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Night.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
How much of the audiobook you didn't tell us? Where
could I find it on audible or Amazon? Yes?

Speaker 5 (55:10):
I put it on audible and it's me talking and
I make a joke, you know, you know when you
do like an audible, you gotta when you're going Philip,
they said, hey, get over here. I can't do it
and puts up, Get over there, get over here. You
got to kind of do a different voice. But I'm

(55:31):
not a good impressionist.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
What is that? Uh?

Speaker 5 (55:34):
Oh yeah, if you're in audible the link, yes, So
like I was going have rereadie, what the fuck are
you fucker? Get out of here? And I real then
I said, and the thing I go. I realized this
isn't a great impression.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Just go with it.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
This guy, Yeah, yeah, I got Jo DIA's book inaudible. Bro,
it's like, I'm pretty long. But once you cut the breathing,
it's like two hours.

Speaker 5 (55:58):
Wait, what's the guy's name?

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Is fine?

Speaker 2 (56:00):
In the thing?

Speaker 1 (56:01):
Right?

Speaker 5 (56:02):
This so okay? So my maybe we'll have you back
comes out right. I was very excited my first book.
And I go and I made a joke audible about
to come out, and I said, maybe I hope to
get the thing or find out find the audible. Maybe
we'll have you back. I didn't get the job narrating

(56:22):
my own book.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
Did a voice have to do it?

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Someone else?

Speaker 3 (56:26):
Did me?

Speaker 5 (56:27):
Can you show the sample? H wait, you have to
sign in. Can you get sample below it? Maybe love
you back.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
The Blanc looks at me with utter amazement.

Speaker 5 (56:50):
Myself been on every show?

Speaker 1 (56:52):
What show have you not been on? It's unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (56:57):
Well, they're just these little guest star spots, I say,
he shakes his head.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
In one hero, average guy got the job of narrating
my life story.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
On the one hand, why didn't you you auditioned for
you actually to do.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
I did, and he'd be, well, yeah, well why don't
you record? You should record your own version, put it
on YouTube, like the like the stolen cut.

Speaker 5 (57:19):
But I did. I did my own of the norm
and uh maybe my sin felt year and uh five
minutes to kill the flat thing. You should do my
n friends.

Speaker 4 (57:29):
No, man, so you couldn't play yourself. Man, man, they
didn't think you were good enough to play yourself.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
What the first you should see? When I would friend
will turn up publish his first book, I think the
publishers said there was not enough.

Speaker 5 (57:47):
What is it? Well, first I was getting rejected. One
said we wish there was much sex. I said me too,
And then it's just true. I remembered I I had
one stay with Kathy Griffin. They said, all right, he's enough,
give him the book. And then someone was someone saying

(58:08):
that we wish there was a happy ending. Well the
idea is I'm not you know, the rich Tim Allen guy.
This is a different point of view. One said, uh,
oh yeah, they were all just rejecting it. Said, oh
it's you know, who is this guy? Or can be
good for some more famous? Then I finally got the
book out, and Jerry Stiller, because I knew his daughter

(58:29):
was going to do me a favor in New York
and do a book signing with me. Like I couldn't
get this place on my own. It's like he had
a co sign and then someone said we could get
you on afternoon New York, but only if Jerry still
goes to what that doesn't make any sense? So I
wasn't good enough for.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
My own life.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
He has nothing to do with the book, but yes,
just a name.

Speaker 5 (58:51):
Yes, So it was kind of ridiculous. Yes, well you're
that was like twenty and twelve book. No, no, uh,
maybe my Seinfeld year was first. Then maybe we'll have
you back then a few years later they went about
the young comedian special and uh.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
A full blown author.

Speaker 5 (59:14):
Dude, I am like the next Freddy. I think he's
prouced this guy. Heah, he's a real literature guy.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
Heavy way over here. What's up? Boo shut out to
and copy than he's back. Also McCleod, bro he' the
big fan of yours. He said he loves you and
any of the comments please oh yeah, broad comment.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Okay, So fred gives amazing the child happened here.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
All right, somebody with glasses boost bow boy, there you go.
Let me see black and white.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
I'm trying to go back to the comment.

Speaker 4 (59:56):
It refreshed asked for to tell his personal real life
Cathy Griffin horse.

Speaker 5 (59:59):
Sto, I'll do the condensed version was the sex good.
I blame myself, but it was nineteen ninety two and
I like curly redheads. One time I said that Ago,
who is this guy to say he wants anything? You
got what you could get, you idiot. I don't know

(01:00:20):
what he sounded like, but no, I'd like when people
make it easy for me. Oh no, they quote this
all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
If I say this thing.

Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
When I went norm show, I said that a first date,
I showed up and I said, uh, should go to
a movie? You want to get dinner? And she goes,
I'm wet and I was great. So that made it
easy to make a pass. So people always quote I'm
wet when they see her in me.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
Does she is she aware of it?

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
What it means?

Speaker 5 (01:00:52):
Is she aware?

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
No, she is she aware of she's no?

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:00:55):
Yeah the chapter of the book, Yeah, is she aware
of Like the comments people say, it's her?

Speaker 5 (01:00:59):
Well, this is this is what I think. At first
she didn't mind because she was on Howard Stern, and
I guess somehow they knew and they see, you know,
because you know how, you know how the publisher takes
like a blurb and they get that they were going
with the whole Kathy Griffin one might stand and then
it got back on Howard Stern and and she goes, no,

(01:01:20):
I love Freddy Stoller. I don't mind, because how could
she mind? She talks about everyone. So I'm sure at
first she thought it was nice, you know what I mean,
not nice, but she thought it was amusing until I
told it on Norm's story and probably with the Trump
thing with the head. Then they everyone trolled her and
a lot of says, hey, this is someone who would

(01:01:42):
sleep at fred Stoller. Eh, so I became part of
her insults, I think. So I told this story probably
too many times.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
I went with it.

Speaker 5 (01:01:54):
So now she hates me because I assume.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
You know that the story is, would you be down
from a rematch with her? You mean rematch as another
aroundo sex?

Speaker 5 (01:02:08):
I don't know. I uh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
Natural red uh yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:02:13):
She admitted that when I was on Doctor Drew Orlando
Jones what's his name? Yeah, no, no, Wes Cooper. And
what is Anderson Cooper?

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
Anathon Cooper?

Speaker 5 (01:02:25):
According to Doctor Drew, she showed him a picture and
to prove she's really really yes.

Speaker 1 (01:02:35):
Yes, so when you started, you told me a funny
story about when you used to do perform at Dangerfields
running Dangerfields close.

Speaker 5 (01:02:44):
No, no, no, okay, this is uh well, two things,
A few things about my Rodney thing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
Well.

Speaker 5 (01:02:51):
First, the first time he ever Sonny performed, I was
doing the Fort lauder Dell comic strip with Eddie Murphy
right before he got sick, right before I got it.
And I actually said, because I knew there was a guy,
Charlie Barnett, a black guy who he was in a movie,
DC Cab It's pretty good. Do you remember that movie?

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
Yeah? That movie?

Speaker 6 (01:03:11):
Yes, with mister t Carry Bausey Yes, yes, Barbarian Brothers.

Speaker 5 (01:03:18):
And Bill Maher a great Akar Yes, so Marshall Warfield.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Yeah, yes, so he Charlie Barnett.

Speaker 5 (01:03:26):
Charlie Barnett got fired from SNL because he turned out
he can't readcute cards. He was illiterate. And I said
to him, you know you should see about that. I'm
not claiming he got SNL because of me, he would
have got it, but other people saying that too. So
we did our acts at the improv I mean, no,
the comic strip and Rodney was doing a big theater

(01:03:46):
and he came by and uh, I'm not gonna sit
the N word. But Rodney says, you're didn't go nowhere
with that N word stuff, you know, and it crushed Murphy.
And then he says to me, take too many liberties,
which normal loved that thing. You know, you take you know,
meaning I don't know, I paused too much.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
Yeah, you know that's funny. You see that story because
Eddie Murphy told that story. Edie Murphy told that story
somewhere and he said that, but.

Speaker 5 (01:04:18):
He said the N word.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
I think he meant this. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:04:20):
He used to start his accent scream it out, get
it after your system.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
Eddie Murphy said he ran into running danger for afterwards
after he was a big star, like I don't know,
years later and they're both pete and run and looked
at Eddie goes hurt. Who knew yeah, yeah, yeah, he
just run and looked at it. He who knew that's great?

Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
Well, well, he was on mac Mark maron Eddie, and
he told this story about when he right he we
did Fort Lauder down. We went jet skiing and I
kept falling off the jet ski and it circles around you,
and and I was going, people on the boat. Help,
I'm getting nauseous from the exhaust. Help me. And Eddie

(01:05:05):
would always go people on the boat. So so Rodney.
So then he would hang out. He would come to
the improv and he would like people would come up
to him with a sheet of paper and he would
buy jokes if he liked it. Oh, let me look
at this. I'll try some of them out. If they work,
I'll give you the money, you know. So I once

(01:05:25):
came up there. Okay, so one time I had this.
I think I told you the story that I had
this idea, like Rodney Dangerfield is a police detective. I
got no suspects, no suspective. And then Rodney did your
field working in a drugstore, I got no suppretch.

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:05:44):
So Rodney did your field in a toy store, I
got no perpets. So I went up to him. I
can't believe how stupid I was. Remember he was to
these specials NBC with sketches. I go, I got an
idea for a sketch, each one out just as a
police detective. I got no suspects. And then and then

(01:06:05):
and then I said, I, you could have it for free.
I got no use for it because I got no
use for that shoulty though.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
You didn't want to take it for.

Speaker 5 (01:06:15):
He's not going to be on an NBC pro. I
got no suspect.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
You should tell him. I went to Mexico. I said,
no glitz, yeah, read the music hall.

Speaker 5 (01:06:25):
I got no rockets, fun yes, And he goes, I
got no use for that suptometrist.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
I got no, I can't think of it, got no vision, no, no, no, no,
I forgot it.

Speaker 5 (01:06:42):
But that's he He said, something really helped my philosophy
and show business sells. He used to, uh do all
the young comedian specials. Remember, for a while he hosted them.
So I auditioned for him, and I guess he remember
me from Florida. I thought I did pretty good, and
he goes, he goes, you're too low, okay, And I

(01:07:02):
went all right. And then I told this to this
comedian Ron Richards. I go, I guess I would have
got it, but he said I was too low key,
he goes, that's you from listen for No, but you
taught me. Anytime they say you're not getting it because
of this or that, it just means no. No like
Christmas long no.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
No, that's either another one. Huh.

Speaker 5 (01:07:23):
The only impressions I could go, the only impressions I
could do is people doing impressions of other people. Oh,
I was in Joe Dirt. Did you see me in
Joe Dirt?

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
We'll part I get off the table.

They don't really fly.

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
Conspiracy because.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
He's like, I don't understand. He's funny a comedian, but
everything so serious. No, no, I would never I would
never take that shake. I have the best shake and
don't use regular napkins.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
The podcast is very serious.

Speaker 5 (01:14:09):
Yeah, it's not comedic. Who else.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
Right here? That's funny? Do Jerry?

Speaker 5 (01:14:34):
But I don't want to be a I don't want
to be When I first moved the l A, I
bumped into Seinfeld that canters and he sees me and
he points his friend in the hood. He goes, this
is me in a funhouse mirror. Why would you have
ice cream when you know I can't? That's always like

(01:14:54):
Christopher you know what's his name? Uh, Anthony jessel Nick. Yes,
he sounds like Christopher Walking. So my cousin is bisexual.
It turns out we never had sex then you know
what I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Does he say a little at Christopher Walker stoic?

Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:15:14):
My Mitch Hedberg impression. Why where is your DeFraine family?
I'm worried about I can't do it? You know that
bit to do Frain family when you're going to a
uh they're calling it party five? Do frame and then
they go on to the next one. What happened to
the frames? That's my best impression. Do anyone else Norm.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
George David char your schmock fuddy. I mean, you're a
do louser.

Speaker 5 (01:15:50):
That's the Seinfeld. Larry David is similar to other people.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
Ray Romano.

Speaker 5 (01:16:00):
Me, no, you know what happen, I'll give it. So
one time this movie it's said like the director got murdered.
There was a movie waitress and it became a movie.
So what happened was I get this audition for like
some guy in the movie it takes place in the
South who goes for the diner and singing I love you,

(01:16:22):
I honestly love you, like he had a crush on someone.
So I said to my agent, are you sure I'm
in New York Jewish accent? This looks like it's in
the South, But yeah, yeah, it's These agents are idiots
because it's no skin off them to go go to
Hermosa Beach. You know, you never know because it's nothing
for them for you to go seven miles you know,
I mean seven hours in traffic. So I go there.

(01:16:45):
It doesn't seem right, and the woman very nice. He goes,
you know, my husband saw you in New York and
the comedy clubs. He's a real fan. So they brought
me in because they remembered me. But you know, so
then I I They said, can you do this with
a Southern accent? And now I know whenever there's an addition,
they go, can you not have your New York accent?

(01:17:06):
Now I know to go, this is what I am.
I'm like Joe peshe he just you know, to go,
thank you would have been great. But you know, unless
Tarantina wants me, I could study for seven months, you know,
to you, I said, I think I can. Could I
go in the hall and look at so like I'm pacing?

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
What am I?

Speaker 5 (01:17:25):
I was so desperate because you think, oh they want me,
that the husband's a fan.

Speaker 3 (01:17:31):
So like.

Speaker 5 (01:17:33):
I said, absolutely, I can. You know I worked, I
lied with a coach because and then I started doing
Jamie had to be in his inn Israeli and going
le fact they get over there, I think they're looking
for Jesus Christ. So then do you did you know
what's comedian? A really nice guy Heath Heights.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
Yes, so he was.

Speaker 5 (01:17:52):
He's from Alabama. So I used to do impression of him. Okay,
so then I'm pacing in the hallway and the casting
director says, I'll help you. I'll read my stuff with
the southern accent. You copy me. That doesn't make any sense.
So I started going okay, and I need to warm
up because on my friend Heath, I study him. You
lied to me, Christian, you lot to me, you know,

(01:18:13):
And they went, all right, I get this guy. So
after that, I will never.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
Did you see the movie? Did you see what happened?

Speaker 5 (01:18:22):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
This is crazy, bro, I've seen a movie a bunch
of times, but I love it because the movie starts
off with her making some bomb ass pie. It's a
lady from the Americans, Rachel. What's the name she got murdered?
Teresa Russell?

Speaker 5 (01:18:35):
No, no, no, the other one.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
Yeah, so the one the woman in you're auditioning for
the one you have a crush She wrote the movie. Yes.
So she was living in New York and they were
doing something, some construction work next door, and one of
the construction workers came into her apartment, assaulted her and
murdered her. Bro And she never got to see the
release of her film.

Speaker 5 (01:18:54):
And then they well, first they did that, then they
made a musical of it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:57):
The musical.

Speaker 5 (01:18:57):
Now, yeah, documentary.

Speaker 1 (01:18:59):
Her little daughter in the end of the movie holding
hands with her. But this is fun. All those pies
are good. Well, the guy who got the the the
role he thought he ended up being like a fore shorter.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
In you by the way, think I was never gonna
get it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
It was he was a fourth shorter and he spoke
with the people got this. I have a big crush
on you. Le' me te right now.

Speaker 5 (01:19:20):
One time they I love my mom. One time they
brought me in for this audition and it was like
this gay guy. And I'm not saying I'm like Russell
Crowe are the most masculine guy. But I all right,
I'll try, but it seems stupid. And the guy goes,
can you be more effeminatee? You know? And then it
turned out the woman brought me in only because her
lessning was stolen with one al and she goes, I

(01:19:41):
just brought you in to see if we were related.
It doesn't make any sense. I want to say, my dad,
yes ridiculous so uh yes, accents, I uh no? I
could you did I ever say to you?

Speaker 1 (01:20:00):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:20:00):
I once did this this commercial again, I only got one.
They really wanted me. This guy at the company. Luckily,
so I'm doing an improv where I'm supposed to be
helping someone move right and then the guy the director goes,
you know, can you be neurotic but not Jewish? Neurotic?
No idea?

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
What is there any other?

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:20:22):
I say absolutely, I have no idea what he means.
So I should have said I'm nervous, but I'm not Jewish.
My friend for Christmas, but I'm not Jewish.

Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
So then I got the part.

Speaker 5 (01:20:36):
But I couldn't be too Jewish new Yorkish, you know,
New York accent, so they kept coaching me say the
word like I was pelee, you know, you know, like
I had to talk clear on the side, correcting me. Uh, yeah,
I did what I did a voiceover audition and I
get the job. They say, we love the character you did,

(01:20:58):
but but not a New York accent. They thought it
was just some regular voice over guy making up this
fred Stolar voice.

Speaker 1 (01:21:06):
But don't be you Yes, wow crazy.

Speaker 5 (01:21:09):

Speaker 1 (01:30:02):
Also, anybody that's watching right now listening to the post
Pool podcast, if I do a show locally, it's gonna
be only like fifteen to twenty minutes because there's a
lot of comedians on the show, or there's no way

never booked me again. Though most of those shows are short,
you know, and I'm trying on new material.

Speaker 5 (01:30:23):
Do pep, I get a bad not something, but I won't.
A friend of mine saw the night at the Comedy
Store and someone did forty five and oh e Bill
Burnmark Myron, they know, be respectful just to fifteen. But
this person it annoyed me.

Speaker 1 (01:30:39):
Yeah, it's just that guess to me.

Speaker 5 (01:30:42):
That's my opinion. And I don't do comedy. Last time
I did comedy, uh was norm and before you, So
I haven't done it since ten years ago. We did
this ten years.

Ago, so long ago, and this got hardcore Stone and Tempe.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
Dude Oh my god, that's why he got did a
big dab.

Speaker 5 (01:31:02):
I never did a dab. And somehow I made it
to the car back to the hotel, and I was thinking, Okay,
there's no way you're gonna be able to walk through
an airport tomorrow. Work in the scenario, I'll spend another
day in the hotel and then uh, I'll pay it
for an airfare. But somehow I made it to the

(01:31:23):
next day. That is brutal.

Speaker 1 (01:31:25):
And then there was a hardcore of Phoenix Gangsterolo turning
to bring into the green room to meet for a stoler,
banging the door. Seinfeld, come out.

I remember I worked in Coney Island. I think I
told the story right called the Tunnel of Laughs, where
there was nothing in it was dark, and I had
a wolfman mask and I'd have to stand in a
tunnel and people go by, and then they'd get scared,
but they'd go on the right again, this kind of
they spit at me. They know the Wolfman's going to

(01:32:02):
be there, you know. And this Puerto Rican guy worked
with would call me Weinberg Yo, Weineberg wine Weineberg. He
was partially right about my name because it's nothing like Wineberg.
