00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: never seen you like just completely deterior on stage unless

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 1: I'm like have like a fucking complete, well false memory.

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: I don't know what you saw at that the show

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about, but that one felt like

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: there was no recovering from it. So for the context,

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: and you're probably not even aware this was that. That

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: was the summer of twenty sixteen when that happened. Okay,

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 3: you have to understand where my ego was at when

29
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 3: I was doing that show, because that was four months

30
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: before that. I had just been at the Oscars with

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: Chris and he had the second time he hosted, And.

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: Were you helping him rite? Yeah?

33
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: I was.

34
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: They had a writing team and I was on the

35
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: writing team. That was my first writing job at way amazing.

36
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: And so I had my my finance job had ended,

37
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: my day job had it ended, and my first writing

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: job ever was working with Chris on the Oscars Amazing,

39
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I felt like hot shit, yeah, yeah, right.

40
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: Four months later, I get passed at the Cellar. Yeah

41
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: because of how long were you doing comedy at this point?

42
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: Seven years? Seven years?

43
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: And I get passed at the Cellar And I did

44
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: political material because that was the summer that everyone thought

45
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: Trump was going to lose election, and all political material

46
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: was hot shit, and I thought I was doing like

47
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 3: like some of the best I had passed at the

48
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: cellar with it, and I'm like, oh, I'm fucking good money.

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: And uh a few months, a few weeks later, I

50
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: get a text from our good friend Rommi Yusuf hey Man,

51
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: there's this, Uh, once Hillary secured the nomination, Bernie had lost.

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: Hey Man, there's this like a kind of protests gathering

53
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 3: for Bernie happening in Philadelphia outside of Philadelphia Convention Center

54
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: where Hillary was having her victory party.

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: So like to paint the picture, it was like a

56
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: political rally in a museum where people, like political people

57
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: were coming up and ranting and raving and trying to

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: do like grassroots campaigning. But they would have comedians on

59
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: it in between it. But there's no flow to the show.

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: And it wasn't a comedy show. It was like a

61
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: variety show with like heated political debate as the between

62
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: yes versus and like musicians. It was like, there's no

63
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: momentum for any comedian. I had not not conducive to

64
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: comme I had. And it's like three o'clock in the

65
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: afternoon summer. Yeah, and mind you, I came off the

66
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: train and came to the venue. I hadn't seen any

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: of the things that had happened thus far, and all

68
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: I knew that there was foreigner people dressed in black

69
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: like Barnie Dyed or some shit. The mood was fucking dour,

70
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of bunch of purple hair like.

71
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 3: And there's a panel of five people seated, and then

72
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: I don't know who went before me. It doesn't matter

73
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: who went after. I don't know whoever went before. I

74
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: got brought up, and I just remember that, like the

75
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: reason I got the Rock.

76
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Job was because I think I remember this.

77
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: The reason I got the Chris Rock job was because

78
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: I told a joke that I had just written, and

79
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: I was so excited about it when I when I

80
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: got the when Chris was watching the show that I

81
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: was at that that instinct to tell the first joke

82
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: that that the newest joke, like that fiery inside, yeah, yeah, yeah.

83
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: And here's a room full of four hundred Bernie fans,

84
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: and Bernie had just lost the nomination to Hillary, right,

85
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: My opening line was hello, losers, damn fucking bro I

86
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: really thought I was gonna level, but it was not

87
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 3: that at all. And they wanted eight minutes, and I

88
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: think I said I've been booed by worse people than

89
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: you or something like that.

90
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: So now you're like fighting the audience.

91
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: And then I forget what my closing line. I mean,

92
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: what are you gonna say? That's the funniest thing I

93
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: could say in that situation. They had sense of the

94
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: humor then, and I was like, all right, boy, And

95
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: I remember you being like because you were supposed to

96
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: go up, I think, oh.

97
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they wanted me to go up you bob.

98
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 4: And I was like, no, sorry, I said, like you

99
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 4: saying that wasn't It was just like tense it was.

100
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, see y'all later.

101
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: And then Rommy walked me out. He took me in

102
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 3: his car and dropped me to the He drove me

103
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: to the train station. But you know, Rommy tells you

104
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: you did bad, but tells you by telling you did good.

105
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, He's like, man, you were na, man, Yeah

106
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: you were good.

107
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: That's all right, man. I was like, man, you sent

108
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: me the I felt so bad.

109
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: I saw you that night.

110
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: I saw you have the sell it that night, really

111
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: think so I think it was that night or like

112
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: right afterwards.

113
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: Did I know you?

114
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: Well?

115
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: At that point we knew each other because you've done

116
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: Matchless once or twice, Like I went the bus. No, no, no, no,

117
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: I don't think, but I distinctly remember that like as

118
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: one of my worst bombs because the ego with which

119
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 3: I went into the situation was so cut down, you know,

120
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: and I was like, fuck, I cannot believe that happened.

121
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a bad one. You were not set

122
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: up for success at a show like that, though. Who's

123
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: gonna do well at that show?

124
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: Someone I mean, who panders and says.

125
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: Hillary somebody, Yeah, somebody who either panders or already is

126
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: like mega famous for being a political Look like like

127
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: John Stewart walks into that room, he'd probably like would

128
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: get somewhere, have a great time, but but shy of

129
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: that level of fame as a political comic specifically, like

130
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: if you have to start from, like I swear, I'm

131
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: gon like like unless you're like mega world famous, like

132
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of like impossible. I would have. I think

133
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: they wanted me to go up and I was like, no, no,

134
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: gea pig did not even go up.

135
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: I don't even know if I think everybody skipped after this,

136
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: you like fucking riddled with bullets, glad I set the example.

137
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: That was a brutal one. That was my that's the

138
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 3: bub that sticks out the most brain.

139
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: Of it's hunting those Did they haunt you forever?

140
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: Oh?

141
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 3: Yes, they hurt my feelings. But you know as well

142
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: that ends well. Bernie is still alive, So that's good.

143
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: Bernie is still the president.

Speaker 2: With Ari Condrey. With Ari Condrey.

145
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: Has there ever been a bomb that you've seen in person?

146
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: Maybe you weren't on stage, just a bomb that you

147
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: witnessed that was like horrendous, or like any fights on

157
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: it was standing there. It could have been a show

158
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,760

192
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: He went up, and I guess he was suffering through

193
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: some kind of anger management. He went up and like

194
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: like the first or second joke didn't work, and something

195
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: in him switched click, like I snapped, and it was

196
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 3: like he it was uncomfortable to the point I thought

197
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 3: he was gonna like get like angry violent. It's like

198
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 3: I'll set this fucking place on fire like that, you

00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: know that?

200
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: And he came off stage.

201
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,239
Speaker 3: And that was the one time I remember being like

202
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: like it was a bomb. And normally you do like

203
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: ten to fifteen minutes of the show. I think we

204
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: were like, yo, get the fuck off at like six.

205
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,680

206
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: at you guys too.

207
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: No, I mean he was yelling at I think the host.

208
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: I don't forget who was hosting at the time. It

209
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: might have been me, but he was definitely yelling at

210
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: everybody and definitely like one person in front row where

211
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: it felt so.

212
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: Uncomfortable, like going off.

213
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: And when he came off stage, he was like and

214
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: I was like, nah, man, no, no, that's not okay.

215
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what the fuck you just did, but

216
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,480

217
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,319

219
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: he's okay. That seemed like a mild psychotic.

220
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: Break to have, just like what the fuck you? Like

221

Speaker 1: a pure.

222
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: Meltdown of comedy, and there's not a single funny moment

00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: You can dose them properly.

323
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,160

324
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: too did Molly on stage a couple of times? Was

00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: was Gilbert Lawan?

327
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

328
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: Gilbert is my favorite Catholic Iraqi comedian. So it's Crystal

329
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: and we went to see Fish and I don't like

330
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: jam bands that much, so I was just a wolfing

331
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: down Molly to make the music sound better and it

332
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: wasn't working. And then he was like, you want to

333
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: do a comedy show.

334
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm on.

335
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: Four hits of Ecstasy and four I was fucking high

336
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: as ship. I didn't eat them all four It once,

337
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: but I took four over the night and I went

338
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: up on stage and I had a fantastic set. I

339
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: don't think it was actually a fantastic set. I think

340
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: I just felt fantastic. But and I don't. I don't.

341
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: I probably didn't do that well and my eyes were

342
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: probably like this the whole time. Yeah, yeah, but I

343
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: felt him. Man, I did a whole set like this

344
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: and I felt amazing. I probably bombed, but it felt great.

345
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: It felt great. Yeah. That it scares me because it's

346
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: too uh, too truthful.

347
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, all of it.

348
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: It's like like like the guard once the guard is down.

349
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still I feel that way about alcohol. Actually,

350
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: what I'm more truthful with alcohol. Interesting, not that I'm

351
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: lying without alcohol, but I mean, like the guards come

352
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: down with when the anxiety goes down.

353
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see, Like I'm conscious of how much I

354
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: dislike alcohol on stage. So now that if I were

355
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 3: to drink on stage, if it's more than one drink,

356
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: I'm just like, I don't like doing.

357
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: This at all. Yeah, but with I like being sharp

358
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: on stage. Yes, that's the best.

359
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, like two coffees in yeah, yeah, pulling my best

360
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: David to Tail impression.

361
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: I didn't you know I did cot on stage. K

362
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: H A T. It's like the cocaine of Yemen. It's

363
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: a stimulant and Afghans oldiers will like chew a bunch

364
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: of it because it makes you high. It's like the

365
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: cocaine of North Africa. In the Middle East, and I

366
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: played a show in Israel and they gave me cost

367
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: tea and I drank like three quarters of a cup

368
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: and I forgot what I thought. I was just drinking

369
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: iced tea. I wasn't paying attention, and by the end

370
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: of the show I was on stage. I was like,

371
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: I was like Robin Williams circa nineteen seventy, pretty animated,

372
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: so I can't imagine. Oh, I was fucking crazy. I

00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: I was like in the zone.

375
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 3: But I was like, maybe I don't fuck with any

00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 3: of those those plants. Yeah, stimulant, no coke, none of

380
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

381
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, but coconut, no, I don't think I do it

382
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: on stage. Now, I was just like in my twenties

383
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,000

Speaker 3: they would do like a high show.

390
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: I think there's a show that was like one of

391
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: each drug show. That's possible.

392
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,040

00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: few people come out, Like still had fans that purchase tickets.

410
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 3: And the first show went so well. Was the second

Speaker 1: through your jokes?

428
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: But I wasn't doing any jokes. I was talking and

429
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: just having a conversation.

430
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, you just ditched your material.

431
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would try to go in and out, but

432
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 3: it was just like and then like I got fixated

433
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: on like this super rich Punjabi family that was sitting

434
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 3: up front is Indian family, and I could tell that they

435
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 3: were rich because dad had like this platinum rex on

436
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 3: and and the daughter had come out.

437
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: Is it Punjabi known for like being like a wealthy.

438
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,239
Speaker 3: No, it's just I could tell with this guy they

439
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: their Punjabi because that's how I remember them in my

440
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 3: brain as being. It's crazy to see a Punjabi family

441
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: out at that age group. Like it was like a

442
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 3: sixty year old Punjabi dad and his wife, I think

443
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: the daughter, daughter in law, son and and another daughter.

444
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: And I'd asked the daughter about like while she was

445
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: single whatever she I just got divorced. And I was like, okay,

446
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 3: well let me talk to your parents about how they

447
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 3: feel about this divorce.

448
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, through her under the through the wolves

449
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: was bad. It was bad.

450
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 3: And I remember just I could talk myself out of

451
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 3: buying something funny. These people fucking like staring like leaving.

452
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 3: I was like and I was up there for probably

453
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 3: an hour an hour long, and I should have been

454
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 3: up there four hours.

455
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,080

Speaker 3: Stone, I remember, like I had like hazy eyes.

459
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that divorce isn't like that cool for old

460
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: school Indian dad. Is it just like you don't get

461
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,840

00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 3: was brutal, that fat. That hurt my feelings.

492
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: I have an issue with my stand up where a

493
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: joke will be red hot for a while, or like

494
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: not the very first time I do it, but I'll

495
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: get it on his feet and then it'll be red

496
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: hot and then just all of a sudden, it doesn't

497
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: work anymore, like and I can't, And then I'll listen

498
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: to old tapes. I'm like, what do I do? Sometimes

499
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: I think it's just topical, and it's like no longer

500
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: in the geist. It is it is doesn't seem politically

501
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: political on the surface, but it actually kind of is

502
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: or something like that. But I have this like issue

503
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 1: where your jokes just like they just expire. Yeah, and

504
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: it fucks with my mind. It makes me so angry.

505
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: There are some evergreen jokes probably that I've written fifteen

506
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: years ago that maybe still work, but really like they

507
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: I don't know something about.

508
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 3: Do you hit a wall with I've done this joke

509
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 3: too many times.

510
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: I think so. I think as soon as you get

511
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: bored of it, even if the writing is there, they

512
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: just know, they smell that you're bored with it. And

513
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: you can't resurrect the dead. You cannot. You gotta that's

514
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: still got nervous. You still got to be kind of

515
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: nervous about it. Working the networks.

516
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: Part, you know, as you ask about the road, it's

517
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 3: like that's the toughest part.

518
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, keeping a ship fresh because you like, you get

519
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: burnt out on itearia.

520
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: Like, I hate saying the same shit over and over

521
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 3: and over and over and over again.

522
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: You can try doing like little like variety tags or something,

523
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: or just at least changing the order or that's what

524
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: It's hard to keep it exciting and fresh.

525
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 3: It's fu and like the best way for me has

526
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 3: been have something new, some where in the middle or

527
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 3: somewhere at all. As many new things as you can, yeah,

528
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 3: even if it's a little tag and to like to

529
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 3: keep me going. Yeah, to reach for that goal, right,

530
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 3: look forward to something, because if I don't, then it's

531
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 3: just like.

532
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: You have nothing to look forward too.

533
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

534
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're so sick of the jokes. Yeah, yeah, I

535
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: guess some people can do that. But I have a heart.

536
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: That's my toughest. That's why I kind of gave up.

537
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't just stand up anymore. I'm going to a

538
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: stand up show. I just got burnt out on that.

539
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: I did like a massive tour right before COVID, and

540
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: then I shot my Netflix special right before COVID and

541
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: I delivered it February twenty twenty. Then a few weeks later,

542
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: you know, COVID hit and then like I just never since,

543
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: like the world has quasi opened back up, But I haven't.

544
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: I haven't had any motive it all. My creativity goes

545
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: to like television or film or like other mediums.

546
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 3: But would you come back to it if you want

547
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 3: to hop on anything, let me know I can.

548
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, help help me get my sea legs. I

549
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: want to like kind of try. I kind of want

550
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: to just start going to shows. Just smell in the

551
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: air again, because then you start seeing staying. You get

552
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: inspired by seeing like what your friends are doing, what

553
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: people are talking about, and then you're like, oh, yeah,

00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: I should do that joke about this because that joke working.

555
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: You kind of got to be in the environment to

556
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: get to get pretty motives. Go hang at the cellar. Yeah,

557
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: I'm always cramped at the cellar. They always stick me

558
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: in that little corner and I'm like, the waiters are

559
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: squishing by. I get like claustrophobic.

560
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: But there's a billion cellar rooms. There's you know, the

573
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,719
Speaker 3: The cellar proper, the original one is my favorite. But

574
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 3: the lounge just got a different vibe to it. And

575
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,359
