Scott VORDIEZ.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
When I go home, I don't immerse myself in a
ton of news. I want to be present with my family.
Plus what happens is I'll watch all the news the
night before, and then the next morning it doesn't feel
fresh anymore. So I don't generally turn on the news
every single night. But when I do turn on Fox News,
it's because my wife says, you've got to watch this
(00:24):
part on Gutfeld. We watch a lot of Gutfeld together,
and I'll tell you about one of the panelists in
just a moment, but we're going to talk with another
one here. Kat Timp was on this program just a
few months ago, and now it's a pleasure to welcome on.
Jamie Lisso.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I thought I had imposter syndrome until you defined it.
What do you call someone that feels like a failure
but everyone else also thinks they're a failing.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Jamie Lisso here from Gutfeld and a great stand up
comic in his own right, joins us on eleven ten
kfab Hello, Jamie.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Do Man, A very good morning to you. That was
very nice. I'm psyched to watch Gus. A little little
inside information about gussl A lot of times, if you
watch me very closely when I'm on the show, a
lot of times I don't know what they're talking about. Yeah,
just a little behind the scene.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Well they don't. I notice that they don't exactly go
to you going all right? Today on the program, here
we're going to solve this issue of the problems the
Middle East? How do we finally bring peace to the
Middle East?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Jamie.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
You know that's not usually your lane. Your lane is
to say something and then, for example, in that clip,
it ends with Tyrs threatening to punch you in the face,
which I can commiserate with. I went to college with Tyros.
He is a U n K Nebraska Carney. Yeah, he's
a Nebraska guy.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That is wild. Yes, And you are absolutely correct. When
I get a topic, we get the topics out of time.
When I get a topic that's too serious, I just
think to myself, how can I turn this into my
ex wife cheating on? How can I spin this to
an Alaska joke? How is this possible?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Well? That's the show works really well for it, and
I should probably mention before you talk to Tyrs and go, hey,
I talked to one of your old friends Scott on
the radio in Omaha. He'll say, who, Here's every single
conversation I ever had with Tyris on campus at Nebraska Carney.
It was walking by him as he was lumbering across
the quad wearing a backpack that was ridiculously small on him.
(02:28):
It was just it was just, hey, man, Hey, that
was it.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I think I think by that you're describing all backpacks.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, that is you know it.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You know, I'll tell you real quick. The first time
I ever met Tyres, we are very good friends. Now.
The first time I ever met him, we actually did
not get along the first day because I did not
know who he was. Goutfold had just been on the air,
so there was no Tyres from Goutfold. And you know,
he's a big professional wrestler. I don't watch professional wrestling
because I went to college, and don't tell him that.
(03:00):
And he used to have that belt over his shoulder
all the time. And we were backstays and he was
coming out of the bathroom and he had that belt
over his shoulder and I just go, oh, buddy, do
you need help with your pants. I did not know
that that was a wrestling thing. I thought maybe big
man pants was a two man job, and I'm kind
of a people pleaser, but we are friends now.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Well, I want to know how you got to be
on Gutfel Jamie, because I imagine they were looking for
a comic. They were looking for a comic who was openly,
if not conservative, at least not I'm going to take
a pause from telling jokes to tell you how much
I pray I hate President Trump. And they were looking
for a comic who was actually funny, who also fit
(03:41):
into that equation. So how was it that they tracked
you down?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
All right? I feel like my answer is going to
be disappointing, but I'm going to share with you because
I enjoy the story. So I got on Red Eye
was Greg's first show, YEP. And they did an audition
a golf and comedy club in New York. And I
was warring like the comedy starter kit. I was wearing
like a black blazer and like a white shirt and
like those black glasses guys used to wear. And I
did my set and after this and it went pretty good,
(04:07):
not the best, not the worst. And after the show,
I went to a bar and this guy comes up
to me and he goes, hey, man, I'm great, guts
all bice to meet you. You know you want to
be And I go yeah, and I go, hey, did
you think I was funny? Can I be on your show?
And he goes, I'm gonna be honest with you. I
was taking a leak during your sets. This is a
true story. And I go, oh, that's okay, and I go,
I'll maybe if you do auditions some other time, I'd
be happy to audition again. And he goes, oh, no, no,
(04:28):
I'm putting you on the show. And I go why
and he goes, because people keep coming up to me
telling me how funny I am. And he had not
gone on stage that night, but he was also wearing
the comedy starter kit. He was wearing a black jacket,
glasses and a white shirt and people thought I was
him and he was me, and they told me he
was funny, and that's why he put me on the show.
And that was red Eye. And then when he did
(04:50):
the new show, just he just called me up on
the phone and said, hey, we're doing it again. We're
doing it bigger. And that's kind of the story.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
That is a great story. And not only can you
see Jamie Lisso on Guttfeld on Fox News, but also
on his new tour, the Better Off Dad Comedy Tour,
which is coming here to the Funny Bone at his
brand new location off one hundred and fourteenth in Dodge
Back where it should be on October twenty fourth and
October twenty fifth. You want to go now to either
(05:17):
Jamie Lisso dot com or Omaha dot Funnybone dot com
and get your tickets before these shows are sold out.
It's going to be pretty much like how you're doing
your tour. In the next couple of days, Jamie, You're
at the improvn Hollywood and then later at the Funny
Bone in Omaha. Not a lot of difference between Hollywood,
California and Omaha, Nebraska. But I want to ask you
(05:39):
about again.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
The only difference is people will actually come to my show.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I want to ask you about your gig here. In
about a week and a half, you're doing Kimmel's Comedy
Club in Las Vegas. And I wonder this about guys like,
for example, Adam Carolla, he's more conservative. Jimmy Kimmel is
off of the freaking deep end when it comes to politics. Uh,
still funny guy. I still like Kimmel, But when it
comes to comics, and you got some that are a
(06:07):
bit more political than others, when you all get together,
can it just be comics hanging out. Can you all
be old friends or do we have to let politics
screw that up?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
To dude, I'm glad you brought this up. I feel
like Kimmel, while we have seen him do a lot
of political stuff, and you'll see him weep on TV
now and then, I think that he does have part
of him that knows. Corolla's my buddy. Corolla works Kimmel's
in Vegas. He does like Thursday nights sometimes, and so
he still does allow he realizes that there's an audience
(06:39):
for the other side, and he does allow those guys
to go on. So I do respect Kimmel for that.
But yeah, man, I think I have that with I
don't know if you've ever run into it, but that's
my least favorite thing about politics today is I have
never decided to lose a friend because of politics, but
I have been ostracized by friends that is not to
(07:00):
talk to me anymore. But I feel like comics, you know,
it kind of depends on the comic. There are some
guys that are so you know, into their politics that
if someone voted for Trump, like that's it, or even
if you didn't, but you lean that way, like that's
it for you and the friendship, and I kind of
choose to. I really do love all people from all sides,
(07:20):
and I have my views, but I just feel like
there are things in this world, in our lives that
are bigger than you know, arguing about that. You just
don't talk about those things at the comedy table at
the seller, right, you just keep it on friends and family.
And I do find it almost disappointing that some people
like that's sort of it, like the I've lost a
couple of family members because of you know, not they
(07:43):
didn't die, but they don't talk to me anymore because
of politics, and it's it's I feel like it's kind
of unfortunate because I feel like we should just let's
just not talk about that, you know, and we have
a good time and be friends. But it is it
is so polarizing, man, it's getting uh, it's getting crazy. Hey,
by the way, before I forget, do you know, Omaha
is like my og club. So when I first started
(08:04):
doing comedy, Colleen at the Funny Moone was one of
the very first people to book me, and so I
am very excited to be on guff all that have
people come to the shows at Omaha, but I have
actually performed in Omaha before. It's just no one else
was there.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Well, you know, we look forward to having you here
in October. I know a lot of comics are always
praising Colin Quinn, the manager of the Funny Bone for
the last eighty seven years, but you know, and they
all think that they're friends with her. Now she's just
using you to make money. She doesn't see you as
a human. She sees you as an ATM. And the
sooner you know that, the better off you'll be. Colleen
(08:42):
has no soul and she's just a shell of a
person who's just abusing you and fellow comics. And I
couldn't love her more. And that's why I say this.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's funny, is that the lesson we're talking about a mistake.
She called me dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah see instead Jamie.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, she stilled me paycheck last time I was on
texting with her.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah. That's it's called very few comps, is what she
says about you.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Very few comps. I hate I hate I really show
the other day and it was like it was like
a two thousand seat theater and it was like sold
out and I was like, this is and they were like, yeah,
we did give away. Sometimes they give away tickets buy
mistake like they're not supposed to. It is the worst.
I love the the I love the no comps man.
Did you know the free ticket? You're more invested if
(09:27):
you pay for something. That's why I like prostitution so much.
I think it's that you.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yes, that's right. Yeah, yeah, it's you've got skin. You've
literally got skin in the game.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
You literally have the game.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yes, uh I dude, You've worked with so many of
my favorite comics, including that great Cabal of SNL guys,
and the only one I want to ask you about
here before we cut you loose, here is what's your
favorite Norm McDonald's story.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Oh dude, So, I unfortunately cannot say the line that
he said because we're on the airwaves. But Norm McDonald
was on our Netflix show Real, Rob Me and Rob
Sone had created a show. We wrote it, we fill
him it and everybody did it Like Sandler Spade, everybody
and everybody was really funny. But dude, Norm McDonald were
doing an episode about a vasectomy, and the bit is
(10:17):
like Norm is trying to make Rob feel better about
getting a sectomy, but he's not making him feel better.
Like he's basically going, it's not the bigg of deal man.
All they do is solder part of your balls. Like
it's just not you know what I mean, Like it's
just not helping. And I was not in the scene.
I was a producer, so I was behind the camera
and it was the only time I pride myself on
(10:39):
I never laugh, like, I never break, I never ruin
a take. I'm like pretty good at remaining in the scene.
Norm MacDonald said the most inappropriate thing in that scene
that I started crying, laughing and ruined a very funny
take of Norm McDonald's because I lacked so hard. He's
(11:00):
just I won't say it because I don't want to
get in trouble, but he basically they said, he goes,
they give you a shot, and Rob goes where and
he goes, well, you know, he goes, they give you
a shot in your in your whatever, in your another
reasons right, and then Rob goes, okay, going he goes
but that's just the pre shot, then they give you
a shot in the and he said the most horrible
(11:22):
place that a man can get a shot. And it
was so insane and it was an ad lib and
I was crying. I was literally crying. I was laying
on the floor trying not to like ruin the take,
and I did ruin it. You can hear me laughing
in the background if.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You watch it on that guessing the punchline has to
do with the d H. And I don't mean the
designated hitter.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yes, yes you are. You are dead on normal, very
very well radio radio.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yes, I try and speak fluent norm MacDonald. Jamie, Dude,
I can't wait for you to come to Omaha. I'm
actually going to buy a ticket for your show. I'm
not going to ask Colleen for a comp That's how
much I respect you.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Come on, dude, I'm sorry I did that whole comp
dietry at the beginning. I'd be happy to give you tickets.
I feel like I did this.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I know, I know, I'm totally going to get one
for free. Don't even worry about it. I made that
whole thing up. But it's all good, And I'll see
you in October and hopefully we can have you on
the radio before then. That's a million years from now.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I love it, man, I can't. I love that My
tickets costs money now because back in the day they
would have to refund people their time. It was very difficult.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I look forward to seeing you this October at the Bone. Jamie.
Thank you so much for all the entertainment, and we'll
see you in October in Omaha.
Speaker 1 (12:32):

you later.
