your key. That's your key.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
Dem I've dated, You've seen, you've met, I know.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah yeah yeah that's what you love the most.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
It's I love it. Yeah, because Kalila was mixed Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Other girls were mixed that, other girls that mix.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
You know, I dated some mixes. Yeah, yeah, because full
it's a lot too, it's too much.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's heavy.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah, what do you.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Mean it's heavy? It's because if you go meet parents
and they're both whites, Yeah, that's a lot of defense
you've got to play.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
I know.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
But if one of them is part of your lineage,
and any way, if you got like the Asian dad,
you're like, are you doing? Yeah, you know, like at
least you got a little in. But if it's two whites,
that's a lot of danger.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
Also, there's bullying going on because, like I remember when
I was daying Sarah Hiland, She's she's she lived. She
was from Louisville, Kentucky, our favorite, and we went one dinner.
One dinner. I came to the dinner, family dinner. Everyone
was wearing kimonos.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Well that's respect they were, that's respectful.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
And then they had a tight Hello Kitty shirt for me,
so I put it on. It was really everyone laughed,
that's cute. It is cute, right, But it's like it
would have been nice if there was another Asian there.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh you're the only one.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
I was the only one.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, I should have brought another one in. Yeah, just
hire one just to be there.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
And when the grandmother, her grandmother didn't really like me
that much, but I did a little Asian thing. I
have as Asian techniques for them to like me. I
went to the grand piano and I started playing because
I knew she was in the living room. And then
I can see her trying starting to like me. Right,
you got to bring it. Either do that or do
your tekwondo something. You have to tell them you have

(04:59):
a as skills.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, get your avacus out of your car.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
Yeah, yeah, wait too.

Speaker 1 (05:06):

Long, long time ago, I went to a skate.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Party wrong war time did you do Nothing?

Speaker 5 (05:35):
And I met someone trying to introduce me to him
and he was really cold to you, to me, And
I remember walking away from that going I hate that guy.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
He's one of the best.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
But back then, I don't know. Maybe it was because
I'm I was. I'm a weird guy.

Yeah, you are very weird. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, and
you know I you know, I come, I come to parties.
You know shifty you know, yeah, a little shifty.

always take it personally and I walk away from them
going I need revenge. Yeah, man, write down.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
I'm on o zimpic.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
That's why you can't.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, being ozemic on ozempic is like being kosher or something.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
I mean he did throw up for the first like
two weeks he was on.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
It was to I had to switch from ozembic to
we goving' out.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
You don't do that, ship you would never never.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
Fuck that.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
I don't know. I would if it was a good idea.
But it's not a good I it's terrible. I think
it's that you're gonna die from that.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
You really do.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
No, I don't, of course, an asshole, No, I I don't.
I don't like I get nervous about things like that,
going you know, that change how you feel, or that
change you neurologically. And also I like to fight him
in with weight and stuff. Yeah, like it. It's something
to lean against.

Speaker 5 (12:42):
You know, I think you lost weight.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
No, oh, dude, he was doing you know, he's setting
us up, that's all he wanted.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Said, Yeah, he looks so slender.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah me, Well I've been working out and eating more.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Good yeah yeah eating when you do, when you separate,
you start working out more and eating less, you're really
hurting yourself. So I'm just going like, I'm more exercise. Yeah,
so let's lay it on.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
What's the one exercise that you actually enjoy because none
of them are that enjoyable.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
I kind of like the way it all feels you do. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Fuck, I don't know. I can't get through it lately.
I guess maybe it's also the if the depression exercise
is like I'm doing it because I know I need
to do it. Oh yeah, yeah, because I want to
do it, don't you forty two?

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah? I mean it just starts changing. I'm fifty eight,
starts changing. Yeah, yeah, what happened? Feeling different? I mean
you just sort of like get philosophical about it and
you go like, I like the way it feels when
my body heats up because I'm going on like uphill,
treadmill or whatever. I'm the StairMaster. And if I don't
want to do it, I just don't do I never
do it. If I don't want to see I do
that all the time. And I'm starting to eat whatever

(13:47):
I want, And what do you mean matter just eat it?
Because somebody is explaining this to me that if you prohibit,
you're in this constant tension that you have to binge
to release. But if you just go like, whatever I want,
I'm gonna eat it when I want it, what happens

(14:07):
is your body goes like that fucking hurt, that actually hurt.
That was not a good idea, and then that memory
makes you go, oh, yeah, I don't want that.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
This time.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
I want less things than I used to. You know
what I mean?

Speaker 5 (14:18):
Yeah, you get hunger paints at night.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
No, you don't.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Wait, he's still'guring about the old world.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Different.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
What I'm saying is that late at night sometimes I'm like,
should I get a sandwich?

Speaker 2 (14:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well, here's the difference. You're not explaining. He stays up
all night. So he'll be up at four or five,
it's now been seven hours.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
It's important to me to go to sleep and stay asleep.
So if I if I eat too close to bedtime, yeah,
I wake up in the at like three in the morning,
and it's sweat. Oh, my body's trying to digest.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
And do you think it's a white thing? Excuse me
for saying.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Well, white versus you, you mean white in a way
that you're not.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
I think our bodies are different, that's all they are.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
That's true. But you stay up all night?

Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yeah I do. But because you know, I am an
Asian thing, or I think it's an Asian thing, Korean,
I don't know anything. Yeah, yeah, that's a good gas. Yeah,
because when white people guess, they never get it right.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
You could be Chinese.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
Yeah, could I be?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
I almost said you could have China?

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, you could have chin.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
But that was a really good guess Korean.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah, it's like four.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
I mean there's a punch's pie.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
No I know?

Speaker 5 (15:30):
Yeah yeah yeah yeah right on purpose. Yeah, that was
really good. You have a gong so it's fair to
talk about this, that's right. Yeah, yeah, right, you have
a gong cat fortune cat.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, his father made this before he died. That's why
this is an homage his father.

Speaker 2 (15:45):

Speaker 1 (23:38):
It's such an annoyance, Like I don't even want her
to because I'm pissed off. When I get to the airport,
she's going to show up annoyed. It's like, I'd rather
you just be chill at home. Yeah, yeah, because I
don't like it when they don't do the full thing.

Yeah, yeah, I just don't. I just it's just I'm
doing my best to travel better now, to have a
better attitude. Because it's such a nightmare when you get

Yeah, that's two.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
That's some.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
Do Really?

Speaker 1 (25:23):
A couple is two? Some is three, it's some three.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
I think something. It's like a series is three or more.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
It's crazy to teach an Asian math. That's like the
wildest couple of two. Some is three.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
It's more cultural social math.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yeah, okay, he's bad at all of them.

Speaker 5 (25:37):
Sure he's okay, So that you have a couple I have,
it's worth it.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
I think. I think anybody who's on the fence about
it should just do it. Really, it's never a mistake.
It's impossible for it to be a mistake. Okay, person, yeeah,
whatever happens.

Wow, well your kids are grown, like grown, grown right.

a great special. Thanks amazing, Thank you. You know I

I think I brought it up. The last time I
saw you is on Matt TV with Laura Browski.

Speaker 2 (26:29):

my friend Dino wrote for you guys. Oh yeah, Dina,
and I was on the lot doing something else. I
don't remember. Maybe Cedric The Entertainer's Show. Yeah that's right,
that's right, and so yeah I do. I used to
see you around. I didn't really, we didn't like hang.

Wow, give give.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Us some good said bits.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Greg. Yeah, I mean Cedric was like Jackie Gleason. He
was like a great performer.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
He's fascinating.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
He's so fascinating.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, he really like and now because now he's on
like a like a traditional sitcom and it's massively popular. Right, Yes, Neighbor,
the Neighbor.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Something like that. Yeah, I've never seen it's still there.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
That's still going on.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Oh, it's got to be. It does notwork shows, they'll
just to keep riding.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
He was one of the most natural performers I ever
worked with. The guy could make anything funny. In eight Seasons,
we had this bit that I wrote called Texas Versus Maine,
and it was some like local access cable show in
Texas that he's and he's a Texan and it's about
how much better Texas is than Maine and he hates

(27:44):
Maine and just just kind of like kind of like
what's his name the cartoon character with yes Cowboy.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
I know, I can't think of his fucking name.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, Yeah, he's sort of an impression to him. And
I used to love watching him do it. He was
he was really something. Yeah, a good guy too, like
really good guy. Yeah, you haven't talked to.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Him in years.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Oh I haven't, No, you haven't. I can tell it's
been a few years.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Well, because you're talking about it in the past tense
like he does, like he died.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, yeah, so no, we just still we didn't. We
didn't stay friends. I mean not not actively. But I'm
always happy when I do see him.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
I said, yeah, hey, do you hug him or no?
Because that that that tells me a lot.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
I don't think you're a hugg we hug you do?

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, like, yeah, okay, good.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
I mean when I saw you, you gave me a
side hug that was very fruitful.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, I'll tell you that. I'll tell you the best
thing that the thing that warmed my heart. You said
to me. This was great. This is probably the best
piece of advice I've gotten from someone. We were at
the Cellar and we were in we were in the
fat black Lounge, and you were in the hallway and
you're like, that was really good. When I got off stage,
I sing, oh, thank you man, and you go, that's

(28:57):
family stuff. That's great. And I go, yeah, thank you,
and you go that other stuff, get rid of that.
And I was like, okay, the family said that was good,
and I go, right right, and you go put the
other stuff. No he didn't, Yes he did. Yes, he did.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
A jokeyway I know.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
I meant.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
It was fucking great.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
I saw him at the Fat Black I had never
seen him. I've seen clips of you guys together and
yeah yeah, and uh so I was just watching him
and he was doing this stuff about his family, and
he was doing a really smart bit about if you
about how you can about resentment towards his parents and
that later when they become weaker, you start controlling their lives,

(29:41):
you can get revenge on them. And it sounded really
like the feelings felt real and that was really engaging.
And then he talked about if you really want to
get back at people that age, give them Bluetooth for presents,
like Bluetooth items. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and and it was
a great bit. And then he start doing some about
Trump and those issues that you know, it's like I

(30:04):
just found I just went away and that's how I
feel about most people. He's as good I think. I
said to Yah, you're as good as anybody. While you're
talking about your family, you're as good as anyone, like
really great. And then the other things you sound like everyone.
You sound just like everyone else. Because this thing. My
take on the you know, everyone's trapped in like four

(30:27):
issues for like since twenty sixteen. Yeah, Trump trans Blooded,
It's just the same fucking stuff. And here's my take
on the woke this it's just so boring. Yeah, and
everyone takes a shot on Twitter and on the podcasts,
we all do it. So on stage it's like why

(30:49):
you can fashion a great you know, no one has
your family, no one has your voice. You know, it's
totally interesting to watch somebody and you can tell where
they're you know, where they're coming from. I'm ethnically where
they're coming from, in where they are, in their kind
of family they had. That's I'll listen to that all day.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah, could I ask you? It was awesome? I loved it.

Speaker 5 (31:09):
Could I ask you a question?

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, you don't have to ask No, I'm on your show.

Speaker 5 (31:14):
I know, But can I ask you one?

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (31:16):
Okay, okay, So I want to know this is the
way because I want to be real for a second. Sure,
I'm okay, So I've always been obsessed about killing, so
I'm not as prolific.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Okay, right, yeah, I understand that.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
Yeah, and I haven't changed my I mean, right now
I'm doing a special for Hulu, so I'm trying to
come up with new stuff. But my point is is
that I'm so afraid of not killing that I've been
I'm in a fucking rut totally because of that fear,
you know, I mean, And it's like, I know that
there's more that I can do. I know there's more
that I can say, and I just don't do it

(31:58):
because I hate bombing, you know what I mean. And
it's like I just know that I'm not growing and
I know that you know. I mean, you're so you're
very prolific.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
I can say that.

Speaker 5 (32:09):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you're one of those comics that, like,
if you're performing, like all the comics will run into
the room to watch you. When I perform, they fucking
leave the fucking fire. They don't leave, they do they
do the whole back matter.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
None of that matters. Okay, fuck the other comedians, that's
not your audience. Okay, You're not doing this for them? Yeah,
who am I doing just their competition and their colleagues.
They're just people that also do. What you do has
nothing to do with them.

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Yeah, how do I get over this rut?

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Though?

Speaker 2 (32:38):
You know, what you're describing is a very important thing,
and it's a very vulnerable place to be. You know
exactly what you have to do. Your problem is your
solutions right in front of you.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (32:49):
It's just you gotta you gotta get over it. In
other words, you're you're I mean, what I'm saying is
your way ahead of the game because a lot of
people don't understand what their problem is.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
Yeah, I totally understand.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
And that is the basic problem for most comedians because
they're afraid of that feeling. I'm not killing. I was
raised to kill as a comic. I started in Boston,
and in Boston it was like you might get hurt
if you don't kill, because the room might get really nasty, right,
and someone might throw shit at you, they might wait

(33:21):
for you outside. Like there's a feeling in Boston of
like there's the bad version of this is fucking bad.
And also there was this kind of like this biting
spirit there. So I liked it. I was eighteen when
I started, so I was killing, killing and killing. It
took me a long time to realize that this isn't.
I still try to untrain myself. There's bits where I'm

(33:43):
like that crushes, but it's not making me better. I
got to stop doing it. So it's not only not
wanting to bomb, it's also like backing away from the
obvious sometimes and just going like, yeah, that bit annihilates,
but yeah, what are we doing? Yeah, yeah, it's not
there's no quality to it. There's nothing that's it's not

(34:05):
taking me anywhere new. I mean all the thing is
the problem with comedians is they take everything very personally
and it's a it's a scientific thing kind of comedy,
and it's an art. So you should think of the
war like privilege the work. What's what matters is this bit, right, Like,
I was watching this kid in New York and he

(34:28):
was doing bits about the election, the last one, and
it had been over for a while and the bits
were strong, but people weren't really into it, and he
made some comment on stage like, oh, I guess you
guys don't like my politics or something, and I pulled
him aside afterwards and I said, it's because it's an
old topic. No one wants to hear about it, old elections.

(34:50):
And he said, I know, but these bits were killing,
and I don't want to let him go. And what
I said to him was because he was very young guy.
So I said, if you took the two minutes of
political material and instead you stood there and did nothing,
you'd grow more as a comic. It'd be better for
you as a comedian. I think every comedian should try

(35:13):
to put, especially in these workout sets in the clubs. Yeah,
at some point, have like an alarm go off or
some way that you go, I'm gonna do ninety seconds.
I got no act, just ninety seconds of just of
just try to see what happens if you don't keep
coming and coming and coming with it. It's that panic
moment of like I gotta kill right now. If you

(35:34):
can just get past it. It's like the sound barrier,
you know with that big explosion. Yeah, on the other
side of the sound barrier is like there's a calm.
You go like, oh, I got power now I'm not killing.
They're looking at me. This is weird. Yeah, I'm still here.
I'm alive. I can do a bunch of things. I
couldn't do on the other side of this, Yeah, you

I'm I've lost the room and I have to do
a joke that I know it's proven or no, you
stay in there.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Probably not to do that. I do it. I'm weak
when I do that, but I try to stay in it.
Just go like this is like when I'm developing a
new hour. I go to the cellar, I go in.
I haven't been in for a while. I do five minutes,
maybe just a few jokes I have, and then I
get off and next time I do ten. When I
get to about twenty, yeah, then it starts filling in

(40:17):
and it starts getting strong, and I have a strong twenty.
I put it away. I'm like, you can't do these
jokes anymore. And I go back in with nothing, and
I start with another zero hard what's so funny?

Speaker 4 (40:29):
And then you get that brave hard joke. Well, I'm
gonna do it, okay, nineteen ninety six, So.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
I don't do it on the special.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
He's got a brave heart joke. Yeah, it's funny, it's fresh.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Listen my last special, or one of the last ones
I did a special a joke about good will hunting,
and it was a.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Little bite of the joke.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Well you did a whole thing about the Bible. That's
fucking old Bible. Bible has been out for a while.

Speaker 5 (40:59):
Yeah, So, Louis, I'm going to make a deal with
everyone in this room. Okay, Yeah, for my special, I'm
gonna because I've never done a special, right, right, so
I have to do the things i've a masked.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
No, you don't.

Speaker 5 (41:12):
For my special, it's in two months.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Okay, well.

Speaker 5 (41:17):
I know, but for the next you know, I mean thing, Yes,
you look, do the special and clean house. I'm cleaning
house and then start over. I'm never gonna do those jokes.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
That's great, right, Yeah, I'm gonna love that.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
He's going to clean house the way a hoarder does,
where they're like, don't really, don't get rid of that.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Put that right there. And yeah, I'll throw out one
of the four kerments. I'm keeping the other three Kurments unboxed.

Speaker 5 (41:43):
I'm going to tell you why. I'm going to tell
you why I'm doing it. Sure, because when I perform,
I don't feel good. I feel pain.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
Yeah, man, every fucking get I've been there.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
Yeah, I feel pain. I feel disgusted. When I drive home,
I don't feel good.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
You got you totally get what's going on.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
I know there's something going on. Yes, And it's like
when I was younger and I was like bombing, and
I was like trying new things and going what's my voice?
And all that more fun. It was in retrospect. I
mean back then you were struggling. There was no money
and getting stay time and all the fucking shit that
you have to go through. But still, in terms of performing,
it felt new. It felt I.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Should kill our traps. There their prisons, yeah, and they
keep you from I mean, you're stuck in these bits.
It's horrible. I had the same opening joke for like
ten years or more. Uh, and I every time I
said it it felt like I was pissing out of
my own mouth. I hated it. I hate it, yeah

(42:45):
so much.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Can you tell me what is it?

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Yeah? And it's actually about pissed. I hate I hate
saying please do. Yeah, it's oh god, it's so horrible.
I mean, it is what it is. It's a joke.
But yeah, but I live in New York. It's like, uh,
New York is the only city where you actually have
to say things like hey, that's mine, don't.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
Don't piss on it. Yeah, yeah, I love that.

Speaker 5 (43:05):
That's a great job.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
I like it. I like, yeah, I've heard.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
It's a fine joke. Do it for ten years every night,
like it's not.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
You felt, that's he's autistic. Sorry, he'll move furniture the
whole ship. That just kind of what he does.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
But when when you try new stuff, do you have
a button or is it sometimes like just a premise.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Yeah, I think it's a premise, Like I come up
with I'll be you know, walking around, and I'll have
a thought or in a conversation where I'm like, that's
I know that area is a bit right, and I'll
write down the premise, just the word, like two words
of what it is, and then I wait. I try
not to think about it too much till I get
on stage, and then I go on stage the next

(43:48):
time and I explain it to the first audience, and
that's how I write it usually wow, and then it
gets refined over time. Once in a while bits come
to me full like well, I don't know where that
came from, but it's just like a joke, like I'll
come up with this. I'll think of a sentence and
then I'll think of a joke, because I do still
like jokes, you know, So like jokes, I just they come,

(44:11):
they pop in. But bits where you're talking about something,
that's that's the way I do. That was you just
you know, there's an area, there's something there, and you
wait because they're listening there. There's no better. They're the instrument.
So when you're working in the dark, it's like being
a composer. They like to have a piano. They like

(44:32):
to hear it, you know, not just sit there and
go this and have it all in their head. Yeah.
When you have an audience, that's your instrument. So they're
sitting there waiting and that makes you. That brings it
out of you, like and it makes you come up
with it funny because that's what you that's what you do.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Pitch Louis some bits. You got some he's got some
new ship. Pitch No, pitch him some bits. I'm not
doing it now, yeah do it?

Speaker 5 (44:53):
No, no, no, I'm not doing that right now.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
You've got a couple in the chamber. Come on, tell
tell me one. Tell them one of the new bit.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
One idea for new bit.

Speaker 5 (44:59):
Come on, why have a bit that I'm trying to
get to work.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
It's like get Louis.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
When you do it, don't look at it.

Speaker 5 (45:04):
Yeah, I want to look at you.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
I want to look at you.

Speaker 5 (45:06):
I want to look at your right now.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Now, sorry for you, Yeah, it's good for you.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (45:10):
So I have a bit about like my dad used
to tell wild stories. I don't know if they were
true or not. Right, like when I was fourteen, My dad.

Speaker 8 (45:17):
Goes, when I was at your age, Okay, in Kodia,
I used to kill a wolf.

Speaker 5 (45:23):
Right, I go, there are wolves in Korea, so many wolf,
I mean everywhere wolf.

Speaker 8 (45:29):
You know one time wolf of that? I break a leg, right,
I take a stick in the face.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
Right.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
Then a couple of days later, my friend John brought
his Corgi over to my house and my dad goes, hold.

Speaker 8 (45:41):
Is your wolf?

Speaker 5 (45:43):
But I used to kill dogs. But you know it's yeah,
it doesn't get a huge laugh on stage, it gets
kind of a giggle.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
It's a great bit. Y.

Speaker 5 (45:57):
You gotta do that bit, yeah, yeah, bit, yeah, give
them another one.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
You gotta keep doing it. Yeah, all of every bit
I have I give up that destroys started either weak
or like pissing people off. But I just keep doing it.
And it's like it's like walking to a firing squad
and saying, shoot me, it's hard. Yeah, yeah, and you
go and they But these all these bits are really

(46:27):
there's still a few in my set now, even though
I'm doing theaters that I'm like, I still know I'm
not getting what I should be getting with that one.
It still feels weak, but I still believe in it,
so I'm still and it keeps changing and changing.

Speaker 5 (46:39):
So I gotta because sometimes you gotta keep doing it.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
You gotta do that bit over and over again.

Speaker 5 (46:42):
Okay, that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yeah, over and over, over and over.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Are you doing the bit? Are you doing the bit
about the how we can mount and dismount an entire race?

Speaker 3 (46:49):
And one.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
I don't remember I remember those words.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
I don't remember the way you said that stuck mount.
Now you're saying the way that we say, like when
you have someone on the fucking news says like oh that.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Yeah, No, I don't do it anymore, why dude. Yeah.
I had a whole bunch of stuff about people the
way people talk in the news, and I had some
about Trump and all this stuff and that stuff. I
just decided I didn't want here, and I'll tell you
this may help you. I was so I was doing

(47:25):
when I went back on the road. I took a
year and a half off of comedy. I wasn't I
was gonna quit, Like, I decided I didn't want to
do it anymore. And I so it was a really
great break because I wasn't like just taking time off.
I was like, I'm done. But then I started coming
up with ideas joke, so you know, I just got full.
I wanted to do them, and then I was like,
just let's just get back to it. But when I
first started going out with this new set, it had

(47:48):
these weird bits that are kind of strange, and then
this killer chunk about the news and all that stuff,
and I was like, where do I put that?

Speaker 3 (47:58):
That it?

Speaker 2 (47:59):
Where does it hurts? These other bits? How do they
you know? And then I was in Omaha doing a
bunch of shows at the Funny Bone, and one night
I was like, what if tonight you don't do you
don't do those bits at all, just take them out.
And I took them out, and everything else in the
show kind of rose up. When the show just got

(48:19):
because it had a cohesion to it, and it just
got better. Like your your bit is competing with these
other bits, like it can't follow Braveheart or whatever you're killing.

Speaker 5 (48:30):
Oh I see it.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Yeah, So once you're done with this special, yeah, that
bit should be like you're.

Speaker 5 (48:35):
No, I'm doing that bit on the in the special.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
But I mean these bits will do better the new ideas. Oh,
I see what you're saying when they have a little feeling.
But those also the bit about the news, Brian Reagan
did a bit kind of like it.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
No, not like that, your your His spin was the
way people talk in the news then versus now, and
you were saying the way that you'll have an anchor.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
No, but he did. He did the thing about people
saying there's a uh, there was a fire today in
nat Aua.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
That's right right right.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Right, right right right right. So I was doing I
was doing that.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
It was kind of near it, it was near and
the phrasing was great. The phrase stuck out of my
brain when how did you mount and dismount an entire
race and one word.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
And with one word of your life? I love Yeah,
it was fun to do.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
I like that uh.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
And then I did a thing about homeless versus unhoused.
But I just don't want to. I don't. I'm tired
of having clever takes on what's going on in the world.
Oh fuck, I'm.

Speaker 5 (49:36):
Fu I have a whole homeless bit.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
That's just it's aless, that's just me. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
His specials literally called clever take on what's going on.

Speaker 5 (49:49):
I'm just gonna put the greatest hits out and then
the next time I'm going to grow and it's gonna
be all right, the greatest.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
What about you? Where are you at?

Speaker 1 (49:55):
I just put out a special on you on Hulu,
which you know, which was it was a good time
for me to put on a special because it was
Charlie Kirk got shot anniversary of nine to eleven, and
then they took Jimmy Kimmel off the air and I
was like, put.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
Special, drop it right, drop it right.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
There's fucking insane.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
And and Hulu. He's doing it with Hulu too, your
first one.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
That's my Hulu. That's number one. I did one before
I did one previous, well, no, I did technically, that's
he's done two show no showtime than Netflix. Netflix was
the first, like real real special.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
But does Hulu have it forever or do you get
it back?

Speaker 5 (50:31):
Now?

Speaker 1 (50:31):
You get him back like Netflix doo. They took mine
down after it was like a license, so I might
just put it up on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
We were talking about, Yeah, don't worry about it. It's
so this is a body of work you're compiling over time. Yeah,
so it's got a life on Hulu right now. But
I did a special called hilarious and it was on Epics.

Speaker 5 (50:51):
Yeah, great company, great company, Who cares?

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Who gives a ship? It doesn't matter, No, I know
it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
It's all all of the back when I used to
before I started selling them myself, I used to just
find who wants this one? And it would be like
Showtime or one was Epics? When was this? It just
doesn't matter. No, they're all they're you're compiling a library.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
But now you'll sell them yourself forever. You're never going
to go to a thing again. You'll just do just
you now, right.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
I don't know, Yeah, I don't know. I mean I
kind of like to be on a platform just to
get more new eyeballs on the work. Maybe, but I
don't know. We'll see.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Also, plug the book.

Speaker 5 (51:25):
Yeah, yeah, Do you have a copy of the book.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
No, dude, this is so funny, you would never read it.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
I have a library. Oh you want to just in
the Yeah, I have. Everyone's in the thing.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Okay, you guys have a copy. They should have sent

Speaker 5 (51:45):
Pile of books I'm going to read. I want to
read it.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Yeah, yeah, no, but I mean you should show it
to people, write or something.

Speaker 5 (51:53):
Yeah, whatever, man.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
I have it.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Where is the book?

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Either way?

Speaker 5 (51:58):
Star Trek the Next Generation X Men.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
I didn't write that.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
Yeah, I don't know where it is.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Bring it up on the fucking bring it up there,
up on the thing.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
You know.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
That's probably my favorite thing, is.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
Him getting mad. It's your book. He gave it to you.

Speaker 5 (52:13):
I fucking don't remember.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
There it is there. It is Baby.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Ingram. That's my new and.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
That's about Rick Ingram from Chris Rockhill.

Speaker 5 (52:23):
What is it about Ingram?

Speaker 2 (52:24):
It's about a little boy who's kicked out of his
house when he was like nine, and he's just walking
around Texas and he's alone, and he's and he's and
life gets really hard.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
For him, like Chauncey Gardner from being there.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Yeah, but he's like much younger.

Speaker 5 (52:38):
Okay, but Chauncey Gardner, the character was a little young
because he had no influence except for television, so he
was kind of a child.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Sure. Yeah, well that's not what this book's about. I know,
but it's not.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
It's not that's gonna be different.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
Sure if you want. Yeah, it's about a guy named
Chauncey Garden. Yeah, if that's what you want.

Speaker 5 (53:00):
It's a little bit like kind of like Paris, Texas.
He's kind of wandering.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Yeah. Yeah, but I don't know Paris.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
Why are you doing that?

Speaker 3 (53:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
Just let him have the book. You're trying to shoehorn
some other fucking story into it.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
I mean, it's fine.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
It drives me nuts, yeah, which would to sound intelligent.
It's not working. It's not. It's stopping ye.

Speaker 5 (53:20):
Yeah. If I no audiobook, why is there an audiobook?

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (53:24):
Are you doing the narration?

Speaker 2 (53:26):
I read it?

Speaker 5 (53:26):
Yeah, Well that's great, that's I'll listen.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
I find it very odd when people don't read it. Yeah,
that wrote it, you wrote, you wrote it, you read it.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
Well, I'm a performer. I performed, so I can't do that.
Some authors probably would have a hard time doing. It's hard,
It's like really hard. It takes a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Yeah, But I mean I think a lot of times
we find right that, like like look at Stephen King,
Like you know how bad Stephen King got off doing
his reading?

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Like, I think some of these guys they love to write,
but they're also like, it's weird. Want to hear me
talk about it.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Well, it's weird when you read it because your faced
with what you wrote. Yeah, and you have to read
it with all the kid you can't go Like I
kind of wanted to do a version, like a whole
version where I read it like like or read it
and like like this or something like a whole the
whole book in falsetto or something.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
He's walking around the fucking farm.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Yeah he's walking around the farm.

Speaker 5 (54:23):
But anyway, but you read in paragraphs like and then
you go cut you cut it there and go as
far as.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
You can go in one piece and then he keeps.
And also somebody's there to keep stopping you because you
suck up a lot, all right, so you have somebody
going you got that wrong?

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Or like when we do the movie, it's when we
did the animated Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we did
an animated.

Speaker 5 (54:40):
Where you give me notes, where you give me notes,
I do give him notes live every line he goes,
that's not how you say it, well, because I'm like
what he's like, well, and then you give me scenarios,
imagine this and this, and I go, okay, I get it.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
We'll try to have him say fakasha, it's fuckingsha. Yeah,
well he got it there in your play, these two
little creatures. But we're bouncing a lot like we do
on the show. We're bouncing, you know, it's like bouncing conversation,
and and sometimes he'll be am I the worst, No, no, no,
the worst, shut up no. But he's so good. But
sometimes he'll be not in our conversation, reading the characters.

(55:14):
If it's existing in another space. I'm like, yeah, we're
doing it.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
It's you and me.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
It's you and me, right, But when I do say that,
you do come back and you kill it. Am I wrong? No,
thank you. Then we had to go do we had
to go do extra and I left because I went separate,
and he goes, how long did it take? And I go, dude,
it's forty minutes.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
You're in and out?

Speaker 1 (55:31):
Yeah, he called me. He's like me too fucking out.

Speaker 5 (55:35):
It's like I was gone, But you read it before,
because I haven't read it. So I'm showing up and
I'm like, I do.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
Not read it before.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
Oh you're good. No, it's just you.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
I just know we just worked differently.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Yeah, that's like a neurological difference.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Yeah, it is. I just we just I just yes, yes,
it is. I just see things like that that. Okay
with lines with lines, do you have like a memory
with like can you memorize lines real fast?

Speaker 6 (55:59):
No?

Speaker 5 (55:59):
It takes me game right, I can.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
See it and do it right. I have this weird trick.
I don't know why I'm so lucky, but I've been
someone that can just what your brain does, eat it
and I can throw it right back out. Wow, you
know they said you should do that. That was that,
Charlie Sheen. I don't know if you saw that. Doctor ready,
we've talked about it because we love it. They used
to say, John Cryer would go, this fucking guy would
never rehearse it would be be on time, on the nose,

(56:22):
be unprepared, and then look at it and go okay,
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, okay, okay yeah, and
get an entire two page scene incredible and not even
It's just his brain had that digestion and regurgitation.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
I used to just need like two rehearsals to know
it too, and yeah, because I need to reading it,
I'm just not it's not getting in right. But if
I wreck through it and kind of do this two takes,
then I then I know it because I lived this scene, right.

Speaker 5 (56:50):
She don't memorize it in the night before.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
That never did me any good. Me neither. I've only
stressed me out and didn't do me any good.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
I was always bad at that. If I could do
it in the morning, if I read it right before
I went there, and then I got one run through,
I would be like, Okay, I understand what I was.
I understand what I didn't see, because.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
We when you do it in pieces, so it's like
when you're filming stuff, you just you only have to
worry about this one scene and you do it a
bunch of times from all these different angles, and then
you throw it away. It's gone. So you only have
to worry about one thing at a time when you're
filming stuff.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
Can't tell you my favorite scene from your show that
to this day, I was all the time like over.

Speaker 3 (57:22):
And okay, is it the art rooms?

Speaker 5 (57:24):
That's my favorite favorite. It's my favorite scene the whole
world with.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
You and Pam Adlin and the press the button. It says,
press the scene, dude, just speak. Here's let me dude
and let me ask you. Let me ask you something
because I get nerded out on those scenes. I'll rewind
a scene like.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Jay, it's j A big j O Kersten's voice. If
that's what you're going to it is. It is J
big J. Yeah. I'm not getting him in trouble. No, no, no, no,
I mean I've asked him to do it. I said,
I wrote him and I said, can you please say
this word like for you know, to choose one like
five times into your phone and text it to me

(58:03):
and I'll send you a you know, check for a
sag check.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
That's why he said sure, And it's in there on
the on the first take. Yeah, Pam turns her shoulder
and walks away.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
Yes, She's just like, yeah, but is it did?

Speaker 1 (58:19):
She is an organic laugh that you can hear in
the audio. I don't think like she laughs and she
walks away, but I don't think she meant to laugh.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
She doesn't really laugh. She kind of goes like, ooh
like you.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
She goes okay. I say, okay, Yeah, did you surprise?
Was it a surprise when she first heard it or
you guys had.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
Already we knew what?

Speaker 1 (58:39):
Oh god, it would have been so funny if it
was the Pride. I wanted it so bad to be
because we because like, there's a scene, there's a scene
that I've nerded out like this about that I'll loop
is in baskets.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Yeah, and I know you could.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
Tell he knows because I've watched it one hundred times.
But Louis is drinking a gatorade.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Your scene.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
That scene, it's the exact same comedy feeling in my
soul where I go, this is so fun And they
knew it was fun.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
Oh so I remember that they really well. Because so
when we set up Zach's show, we had this meeting
me and him and I don't remember who else was there,
but I started asking him about We were just trying
to decide what the show is about, and like it
was just Zach a show for Zach. And I was

(59:25):
working at FX that I had a show that was successful,
and I said, I want to make a different another show.
So they're like all right, And I went to Zach
first because nobody ever made me laugh that hard as
Zach did. So anyway, when we sat and talked about
what his show would be about, this is we had
already made a deal. He's going to have a show.
I was like, well, what if your fami would if
you have family in it?

Speaker 5 (59:45):
You know?

Speaker 2 (59:46):
And I and he so we're talking about it. I said,
what's your mother? What about your mother? If he had
a mother, and he goes, yeah maybe, And I go,
what's your mother really like in real life? And he goes,
she's always like ah Zack when he did and I
just said, your mother's louis Ane and we all laughed.
And then there was this pause and I said, what

(01:00:08):
if we get Louisanna play your mother? And he was like,
why does that sound like such a good idea? Like
it just was me, like, what a crazy idea That's
how it came about because I was making a flip
joke and then I was like, this is I enjoyed
this part of the work. I was like, I just
got on the phone and said, get Louis Anderson on
the phone. I don't know him that way. We've met
in person a bunch of times. I always liked him,

(01:00:29):
but I didn't have a relationship with him. But I
just said, get me Louis Anderson on the phone. A
few minutes later, I get this call from Louis in
his car and he goes.

Speaker 5 (01:00:36):
Hi, Hi Louis, it's Louis c K.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Yeah. So I'm making a show for FX and Zach
Alifanakis is the star of the show. We're doing a pilot, okay,
and I go, we have a part and it's a
substantial part for you. The thing is we want you
to play Zach's mother. And I just hear the sound
inside the car and he goes, I love it. Wow.

(01:01:01):
And it felt like this. We didn't know what he
would do. We gave him the job. There was no
nothing written, and there was no it was just that
day we gave him the job, made a deal, right.
It was like no we're doing that. So I didn't
know how it was going to work out, and I
didn't know what Zach. So Zach hired John ch Chrysler Christer.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
Yeah, Chsler, what's wrong with me?

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
Please look it up.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
Jonathan Chrysler Chrysler, Yeah, Christ krysl John Chisteisl, I don't
say it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
Jonathan Chrysel had done this show Portlandia, which is one
of my favorite things ever.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
Yeah, and he just had this way of setting up, improv,
setting up setting this scene for two characters. He knew
how to shoot it, how to get how to shoot
it well, and how to just make it happen. So
these guys just I went after this one meeting where
we talked about everything, I kind of went away and
let them make the show. And then I showed up
that day and there's Louie Anderson in address and I'm like,

(01:02:00):
we're really doing this, huh wow. And I'm like, I
don't know what what is the character? What are you
guys doing? And I sat and watched them shoot that
scene which just happened. There was nothing to it. Yeah,
that you had something to argue about that he doesn't
respect he's being a clown and Martha.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
That was like an introduction from just.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
And then there was this obsession with this gatorade. And
when that moment happened, I remember I had just arrived
a few minutes before with the gatoraded and that hits
the spot. I was like, I was like, what do
we do? This is incredible, This is incredible, And Louis
and I got to really love Louie. We got to
know each other much better. And then he won a

(01:02:38):
fucking Emmy. And it was such a glorious thing that
Louie because I loved him when I was a young
comic and he's such a sweet and good guy. Struggled
with his healthy It was really sad when he when
he passed away. But uh but yeah, I was. It
was one of the happiest moments of my career was
him winning an Emmy. Wow. Was such a beautiful thing

(01:03:02):
because the way he did he that character was fantastic.
Two seasons great, fucking great, I was.

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
I did a show on FX called Dave with Little Dicky,
and when I was on the show, I was like
in love with Basket so much and I was like, hey, i'll, i'll,
I don't want to get paid, Like can I just
do anything in the thing. I just was like, I'll
do an anything, anything, any And they were and they
were like, dude, you gotta stop asking because I kept
asking my agent. I was like, just tell them I'll

(01:03:30):
fuck it.

Speaker 5 (01:03:31):
They were like, they don't want does that work if
people if.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
But they said they don't. They were like usually yeah,
he was.

Speaker 5 (01:03:37):
I've got so many times they're like, no, it's not
gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
I was like, I don't even want lines. I just
want to be in like a background the burger king.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
I wanted.

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
I really wanted to be at the burger And I
was like, just let me be in the thing. And
they're like they don't want like an actor comic. They
were like they're not looking for that. You're not You're
in the wrong. I was like, I just want to
be in the back.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
You wouldn't have been right for I know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
See that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
He was like, no, you can't do it.

Speaker 5 (01:04:00):
When people go like my agent try to track projects. Yeah,
like when crazy rich Asians were happening, like we're tracking
this for you, We're putting your name in that past,
you know, and it's like it never I couldn't even
get an audition at the end of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
No, yeah, it doesn't.

Speaker 5 (01:04:14):
None of that works.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
No, yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's good. If
you're trying to be an actor, you go in for
a lot of stuff because they remember you. You go
you just do the best version of you, yeah, at
the audition, and then you just are memorable. It doesn't
matter getting that part. You know, like if you read
something you're like, that's not my kind of guy, and
you try to be it, you're gonna suck. So you

(01:04:36):
just do a weird your version of it, right, and
they'll go, uh, that guy was good. He's not he
can't do this, but that guy and they'll remember. I mean,
I've cast a lot of things in my past with
people that I've seen and other stuff that or that
I've seen in stuff that I had them cast. You know,
come in for so go in for everything, Go in
for everything, and do any part you get because that's

(01:04:59):
where you know. The agents don't get you work.

Speaker 4 (01:05:03):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
No, they're terrible, they're just there are We're terrible people.
They're terrible, absolutely worthless people. Some of the worst ever.
They give some of the worst advice. They're snakes. They've
set you up for something and then when it goes bad,
they're not there to back you up. They're the worst.

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
I think they I think they're just they're just terrible picks.
They're at their pigs, they're out of their depth a little,
or they're not in there. They're in the wrong business.

Speaker 1 (01:05:25):
I hate them. They're on the backs of us. They stink. Yeah,
I can't wait to fire mine. You're done with the
business forever anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Whoa dude, why would you be done with the business.

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
We're out there. Yeah, we're the last show in Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
This is it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
I think we're the last. Yeah, it's dying. It's dying.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
Yeah, that's a shame.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
You and the and the book, by the way, is
available literally everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
Please get pre order it now on all the Things,
all the Things, all the Things, and it'll be out
November eleventh.

Speaker 5 (01:06:00):
November eleventh.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
My first novel was the first one. Yeah, I wrote
another one after that. I still working on. I mean
I finished a draft of it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
Did you get like a book deal where they give
you a two book deal? You know they do this
saying it's a weird. They're like, give them a deal
and then they then they make people write another book
even if they didn't want.

Speaker 7 (01:06:16):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
No, I didn't get any kind of deal like that.
I just I just wrote this one good to see
what happened, and I sent it out. And this company,
ben Bella and Texas is publishing this little company.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
Ben Bella, ben Bella. Would you find them? They found you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
I got a book agent and he's a really smart guy,
and he found found them. He'd worked with them on
other stuff. They don't do much fiction, but it's it's
distributed by Simon and Schuster, so that's that's what sells it.
But I didn't get a book deal from them, like
I just I didn't. I haven't been paid anything. I
just wrote it and they're putting it out. We'll see

(01:06:51):
what we make together. But I don't have an advance or.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
Anything that's a good deal. We'll see what we make together.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
I liked it that way. I don't like the thing
of like like when you when I book on the
road and stuff. Agents like to get advances because they sound,
you know, hey, we got you the money. Yeah, but
all you're doing is betting against yourself. And the last
thing you want to do is like take a bunch
of money from somebody, and then you didn't do well,
and then you're like, hah, want people to sort of

(01:07:17):
have a good experience of you.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
So yeah, because you're a big crowd work guy clips,
you started crowd work clip.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
Yeah, that was my innovation.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
That was that was literally big crowd work clip guy.
You were the first on TikTok to do it. As
far as that's right, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
I saw most of you. I just saw it. I
saw it as a new way and here I am.
Thank god.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
I would love to see Is that annoy you?

Speaker 5 (01:07:41):
Like these crowd work guys on doing clips on TikTok.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
I mean, it's the they got what they got from it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
Yeah, it's fine, it's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
Hard works for them, good for them. I don't care.
I don't as a I love stand up. I don't
enjoy watching that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
Also, when I see friends of mine do it, it's
like you're killing in the moment, but no one's gonna
remember it. Yeah, and you're not building anything. That's but
I have a different goal than them. They just want
to run their numbers up and they want to get whatever.
And also a lot of people pleases them, a lot
people really. Yeah, so if an audience, if someone's enjoying it,
they're right. Yes, And the person who doesn't like it

(01:08:20):
is just it's none of their business. If you don't
like something, it's none of your business as long as
somebody likes it. If nobody likes it, forever someone needs to.

Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
Talk to.

Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
Yeah, but you know what if literally no one ever
liked a comic ever doing anything, Yeah, that'd be pretty
fucking incredible. I don't want to see this.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:40):
Well, David tel had this. I don't think he ever
did it more than once that I saw. He said,
if you tell somebody you have a small penis, if
you tell a woman you have a small penis, she
won't be interested. But if you tell her you have
the smallest penis in the whole world, she's gonna want it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
Yeah, he's he's one of my favorites. Great, unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
Ye who's the guy.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
Who's the guy that you that you really have like
a comedy crush on that You're like, Oh, I love
the way that that person works these days.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Yeah, I mean that used to be Zach for me.
I used to put my head on the table and cry.

Speaker 3 (01:09:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
Todd Glass has always made me laugh like that so funny,
just fucking destroys me. Jim Norton, who I've been working
with lately, just also really kills me. Yeah, there's a
lot of guys I really love, but that kind of
like I can't believe it. Todd Glass, I mean, I
don't know if it's okay to do other people's bits,
but i'm.

Speaker 3 (01:09:43):
Him.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Yeah, he did this thing about the late lady next
to him on an airplane. It has the reci's cups
and she's taken one out and she looks at him,
looking at him, and she goes, do you want one?
And he goes, I want both? And he did some clip.
I don't know if you can find it, but it
was during the pandemic. He did some fake commercial I

(01:10:09):
think on maybe Instagram or something where he's showing you
how you can pee outside, but he's, uh, he's he
puts it just a bag like a shopping like a
plastic bag over his head and he just stands near
a bush and he just starts pissing his hands, completely

(01:10:32):
fucking nuts. So he and I haven't seen him for
a long time, but he's always been he's always been
a guy that destroys me.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
Yeah, he was doing a bunch of fake cop bits
that were very funny. Do you remember that little run
he had for a while of like getting fake pulled over.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
He used to do a bit with breakaway glass bottles,
like fantasy of like breaking so he'd be well. Gets
him walking down the street with like a beer bottle
and there's some teenage girls and one of them gives
him like a typical teens girl like ew, and he
goes over. Yeah he was. He was pretty good.
