Bishop and Eric and Jessica and Annie. Just give an a pass. I

happen for you a lot. Ithappens a lot. We did a show
recently in Ontario at the Toyota Arena. Yeah, man, and that's you

(11:30):
know, it's forty five minutes anhour away. And still the guest list

Yeah, we can definitely get there. I mean, man, you should
be so. I promise you forthe Forum. It's it's gonna be.
It's gonna be a healthy guests.I'm gonna tell you you in Istanbul.
At the same time, I'm like, hey, what's up, man,
let us in, let me inhere. The show that you did at

(11:54):
the Toyota. Was that the nightwith hates Wus Suppovita. I saw two
nights so he was for no noa suppervit in Phoenix, Oh Man,
Jesus and Jerry. Those dudes arebeast man. Yeah, they are best.
We are actually really good to hangout with too. Yeah, man,
good lot of times. I don'tknow, like the new generation of

(12:16):
comedians, I wish I was alot more in touch, but there's so
many So I rely on my guysto be like, hey, you got
to look out for this guy.Check out this guy, check out this
guy. And so I wanted todo a thing where I started bringing out
guys that I've never seen before andgive them a chance to do the arena.
And so because you know what,I think that it's it's nice and
I feel like I'm at a pointnow where I got nothing to prove.

(12:37):
Let me try to help others,you know, let me try to you
know, bring some you know,light on on some guys that might not
have that opportunity. And you andyou've given people like great experiences and you
know, in front of crowds that'sreceptive, and maybe they weren't, you
know, I mean, those guysthey kill. But there's a difference between

(12:58):
you, you know, what yourstage look like and what your audience look
like. And a lot of times, you know, people just people just
don't share it. You know whatI'm saying, People just don't share it.
Yeah. And the beauty of thattoo, is that it is a
very diverse audience that they're they're gettingup in front of, right, you
know, so I'm very selective.Do what exactly make sure that he don't
be you know, I don't needno emails later. Yeah, And then

(13:22):
he said, and it wouldn't evenbe their their name, it to be
yours. Yeah, how did youlet them on? Oh? It's always
my fault, hey, man.And we talk about the cancel culture and
everything, man, and it seemslike it's getting even worse, you know,
every time we sit down we askabout it. But now, Bro,
it's like, do you ever think, like, Man, did I
say that twenty years ago? Iknow for a fact that there's material out

(13:45):
there that I've done that based ontoday's rules, I could get the acts
right. Right. I also knowthat, you know, because I asked
the audience. Every night I go, I will ask the audience who here
has never seen my show, doesn'tknow me, make some noise and I'll
act get like maybe one or twoand I'm like, all right, well
do you I apologize? I go, uh, you know, I basically

(14:05):
lay it out that I'm not hereto rub people the wrong way. I'm
here to have fun and put ona good show. And if you get
offended, it's it's your fault,right yeah, yeah, pretty much,
it's your fault, right right,you sens it and you still don't curse
on stage? I do, right, I do again. I noticed that
Dodger Stadium it was a little bita little a little bit loose, but

(14:26):
I mean, god, that wasthree hours. That was three hours,
n And if I would have knownwhat the fine was gonna be, I
would have been cussing a lot more. Can you share with us what the
fine was for going over at DodgerStadium. When you rent out Dodger Stadium
to do a concert, it isvery expensive, and uh, you have
to be done off stage by acertain time, and if you're not,

(14:48):
then it's like and it strikes rightat that time, first boom in the
fine territory. And then is itevery minute or every five after that?
Or you know what. I didn'task. I just saw the what it
was, and it was it wasa couple of hundred grand fine. Damn
yeah, and I do it again. You know, if I'm ever gonna

(15:11):
pay a fine, it's going tobe for the best line of my life.
So well, I was my homeworkgot a fine jumping out the car
and he didn't have no money.I had to pay for it. So
yeah, so that was like agift to us. And you knew you
were over. I knew I wasover for sure. For sure. I
knew I was over. But Ialso knew when am I going to get
a chance to be in front ofthis many people in my hometown just finished

(15:33):
taping a special you know, andI was it was. That was my
celebration. That was my dad.And so I think people stuck around because
nobody was leaving. No people hungout, and I'm like, oh,
yeah, okay, it was.It was. I'm telling you, man,
it was a celebration. It was. It was a celebration, man,
and people were people were so happyto see you, you know.

(15:56):
And do you still enjoy comedy,like getting on this stage? You still
enjoy what you do? I stillenjoy what I do, but there does
come points where you you do getused to certain things. And that's why
I'm always trying to dig holes inmy show to see if I can get
out of them, just so thatI don't get comfortable. It's like a

(16:17):
like an exercise. That's the onlyexercise I do. See you even better
because I don't like challenges. I'mgonna do but anytime, you know,
because I don't get nervous before Igo up anymore, and I miss that,
I miss having the butterfly sensation though, oh what's going to happen?
I'm very comfortable, and that kindof bothers me because it's like, what
do I gotta do to get excitednow? And so that's why I'll go

(16:41):
up on stage and I'll just I'lljust totally off the cuff and start just
digging holes and talk about random thingsto see if I can spin it and
your challenge turn it into something.Damn ay man, So what about Dodger
Stadium? Where you probably not Iwas excited different it was. It was
such a different feeling. I wasn'tnervous for the performance part. I was

(17:02):
nervous are these lights gonna work?Right? Is the microphone system gonna work
good? How's the monitor gonna bebecause these are all things that are next
level from my regular show, andI only have this one chance to get
it right. And if there's aglitch in the system, let's say the
video doesn't play right, then thecrowd is like, oh, because I've
had shows where the system goes downand it just it takes the air out

(17:22):
of the room. And now yougot to start over, and that's you
know, you don't want that.You want people to be on that high
sided and coming out. So Iwas nervous for the technical It was okay,
so you was cool with yours?Oh yeah, yeah, you're just
like everything else. The sun,the moon in and stars, everything else
got out line, and I knewthat I was gonna get emotional because I
realized, Wow, what this isand what it means. I didn't know

(17:45):
it was gonna hit me right outthe gate. So when I walked out
on stage and I'm just taking itin, I started crying in the first
thirty second. What did that feellike? Bro? Because we're looking at
you and I'm a crowd watcher.I'm looking at the crowd. But I
remember when I went out on stage. That from the stage out is a
whole different view, bro. Andpeople came from like eight to eighty.

(18:10):
You know, people came with theirfamilies. It was you know, it
was date night. It was aspecial night for everybody. So I know
if I tripped off of walking out, you had to like, oh my
god, Like it's there's no wayto put like there's fifty thousand people excited
to see you, yeah man,and happy for you and got there.

(18:30):
You know, it's like that they'rehappy for you. People are saying,
are you worried about that? No, if they're there at that show,
they're already along for the ride.This is a celebration for everybody. Do
you keep anything from that night?Do you keep the outfit? Do you
kee keep that invoice? Yeah?Yeah, damn man out Yeah. Man.
I kept telling you, like,man, get off the stage.

(18:52):
I helped contribute to that seven hundredmillion. Yea. I would have been
like, can they take a batter? Amen? Old Tony would not be
here if you didn't do that show. They was like, man, we
ain't got oh call him up?Hey man, can you walk into Dodger
Stadium a game without a ticket?Uh? I've never tried to just show

(19:18):
up to the door and they're like, hey, can I You know,
hey dude, you should try it, just just to see you should try
it. Man, They would letyou in because I've used your name to
get in. Yeah, okay,hold on, he's ten minutes behind this
away, three minutes behind it.Just go into the suite, okay,

(19:41):
yeah, oh yeah man. Andyou got to think, I'm pretty sure
you know people at Dodger Stadium thatwe don't know, Like you probably know
big dogs like the well you know, because like they have that VIP area
at the dugout where they have likehot dogs and everything and pasta, and
you know they have good cheats theretoo. They have good what good seats
you say? You said we arethe hot dog you're not even talking about.

(20:02):
I don't even think I made itto the seats. Come out,
keep going and deal with it.That's you up to to keep the game
on the monitor, so that reallykeeps you from going out there. And
then when you try to go out, remember I had the fridge with the
drinks and the peanuts and all that. So soon as you walk out,
you back into more food. ThenI go I gotta go back here.

(20:22):
Yeah, I gotta go. Yeah, I gotta go back in there.
So but you you gotta know bigdogs over there. We can make a
phone call. Okay, you canmake I haven't abused it. I don't
want to be that guy. Yeah, yeah, let's do it. Yeah,
because I heard I'll abuse it foryou and attack you. You do
it, please? Yeah, yeah, let's let your assistant Kurt Alexander do

(20:45):

very good at your craft. You'reamazing at it. What are there other
things that you're really good at that? Mit a price us, keep it
clean? Techy boy? God,uh, this is stupid. Uh when

(21:36):
up sleeping on top too tight.You don't want to mess it up.
You gotta use all that shoulders,you know what I mean, and kick
my feet up to get the bottomloose. Like sometimes even when I'm in

damn. I was here for areason. Yeah. Uh. Santa Claus

(36:58):
the season two to show what's Mallen. It's based on the movie franchise The
Santa Claus and it's one of thosethey they kind of followed that format of
Cobra Kai and Karate Kids, solike they had the Karate Kid movies and
then they came out with Cobra Kaithe show, and nobody thought it was
gonna work, and it was abig hit, and so Disney made a
phone call got Tim Allen to bringback the Santa Claus character and season one

(37:22):

I couldn't pay Yeah, I knewsomething. They put the moreno in there
to clarify. Hey, man,do you get recognized everywhere you go?
Not everywhere, but I mean ifI go out, there's there's a good
chance. What I think is reallycool is I get people telling me now
I heard your voice, I recognizeyour man, And I'm like, okay,
I didn't. I didn't know that. You know. Like for example,

(38:12):
when I when I go out withMartine, people will recognize Martine first
and then by his look. Yes, right, well Martine has a very
very like you know, the hair, he looks like a rock star.
Yeah, tattoos everywhere, beard andso he looks like he plays for Slayer
or you know how them barber's comeup on Instagram be like, hey,
can I shave your hair again,get away from me. I'm a millionaire.

(38:39):
But you do get recognized by yourvoice, because even today you sound
very fluffy, like you sound GabrielI. Glacy is like like very fluffy
today. So if you heard myvoice around the corner, you would know
it was me. Like if youliterally called up and you were like,
