Speaker 4: theme song for our podcast is the Tonight Show theme

27
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 4: song that you wrote yeah, and I was looking it

28
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 4: up to see how many times it actually played. So

29
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,279

30
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,880

31
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,560

00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 4: thirty one times.

33
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: It's it's a record. I think I got paid for

34
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: maybe twenty two times.

35
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 4: As long as you get paid a lot to it

36
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 4: twenty two times, it's okay.

37
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was quite the thing. But you know, I'm

38
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,200

Speaker 5: Sitting at eleven o'clock at night, my wife's asleep, I'm

161
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 5: like this.

162
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: Pah, yeah, all on Kodjack Love Tilly. You know, speaking

163
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: of the film, you know it will be a cliictic here.

164
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: But speaking of the film, I mean writing directing it,

165
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: and you know everything that you had to do with

166
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: that film. What was that experience like doing that?

167
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 5: It was a lot of work. I co wrote it.

168
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 7: For some reason, people keep giving me credit like I

169
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 7: wrote the whole thing. I co wrote with Ben Tishler,

170
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 7: And he's the reason why the whole thing got made,

171
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 7: because I would have had the idea and messed around

172
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 7: with it for three days and then add I would

173
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 7: have done something else, but he just kept coming over,

174
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 7: going we out to all right, I guess we got

175
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 7: to work on it. So he was also the one

176
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 7: instrumental in getting Bobby knt of Olli in the movie.

177
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 7: So I got to make sure I give him a

178
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 7: shout out. But as far as like doing all of

179
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 7: that stuff, I look back on it now and I think, like, wow, man,

180
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 7: that was pretty amazing. But when it was happening, I

181
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 7: think my running thing with my wife was me I

182
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 7: would come home and I'm like, I'm never doing this again.

183
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 7: This is so stupid. Why did I take on all

184
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 7: of this? It was there was just so many decisions

185
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 7: that had to be made. But I had a friend

186
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 7: of mine, Jordan told me, he said, listen, he goes

187
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 7: just directing is just making decisions. You're a comedian, You're

188
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 7: good at making decisions. He kind of talked me off.

189
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 7: Jordan Peele tucked me off the ledge. So as long

190
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 7: as I didn't look.

191
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 5: Too far ahead, then you start tumbling in your head.

192
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 7: I would just deal with really just day to day,

193
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 7: and then it just became sort of moment to moment.

194
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 7: But I had a great crew of people that really

195
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 7: helped me along, you know, I mean, just made sure

196
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 7: I had all killers with me protection. Yes, I had

197
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 7: unbelievable actors, and I think that the casting people and

198
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 7: the people that we put in the movie just did

199
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 7: an incredible job because just the way everybody fit, you know,

200
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 7: was you.

201
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: Know, looking at your film career.

202
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 8: I mean I was picking up on you back at

203
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 8: Breaking Bed and I was going, Wow, check bill out.

204
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: You had hair back.

205
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 5: Then, right, I did.

206
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 8: It was nice speaking of that though I had nice

207
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 8: had of hair. Yeah, what would the transition where you

208
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 8: shaved it all off?

209
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: What was that all about?

210
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 8: Because you made a statement about that and why you

211
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 8: did it. It was meaningful, no.

212
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 7: Mail pattern, baldness. Then I had a little bit of alopecia,

213
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 7: you know, all the stress from all them just I

214
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 7: don't know whatever the fuck happened to me when I

215
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 7: was a kid, right, So I just sort of buzzed

216
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 7: it down and then I just I ended up getting

217
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 7: my best acting roles other than Breaking Bad, like Vince

218
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 7: Gilligan and all those guys over there. Is the reason

219
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 7: why I finally started going in a direction that I

220
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 7: wanted to go as a performer, because you know, Hollywood

221
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 7: just like whatever you look like is just what they're doing.

222
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 7: I mean, it transcends even like race and that type

223
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 7: of thing. I was in the redhead drawer, so I

224
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 7: was there was Howdie duty Ron, Howard Opie. It was

225
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 7: just that and I'm like an asshole. So but they

226
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 7: didn't like it was all kind of like, oh wow, okay,

227
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 7: you know a lot of those types of parts. So

228
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 7: so Vince must have known that I was a jerk,

229
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 7: so they gave me that great scene with Leavelle Crawford,

230
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 7: and that's sort of what set it off.

231
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 5: And somewhere along the line, I picked up.

232
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 7: That idea of like, when you look at a scene,

233
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 7: rather than playing the obvious, why not try the opposite

234
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 7: and see how that works.

235
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 5: And the opposite of that.

236
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 7: Scene just worked grate for me, where it was just like,

237
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 7: you know, rather than coming in and being this intimidating

238
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 7: guy because you know, extorting money out of the guy,

239
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 7: I just went the other way where was like, all right,

240
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 7: well I got Leavell Crawford with me playing Hugh. He's

241
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 7: big and intimidating. I don't need to be tough, So

242
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 7: I just played it like, you know.

243
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 5: It's a simple transaction. I don't want to have to

244
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: rough this guy up.

245
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 7: He has neighbors, it's going to get loud, like, look,

246
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 7: you really have no options, and just.

247
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 5: Played it that way.

248
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 7: And then occasionally when he would give a little pushback,

249
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 7: I would just do a little lean in because I

250
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 7: had him. Yeah, so I just did it that way

251
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 7: and whatever I did people liked it.

252
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 5: Plus those those guys don't break it bad.

253
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, you could have had two lines

254
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 7: and you would have gotten nominated for like it. They

255
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 7: were so good, It was written so well, the way

256
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 7: they shot at the music they put underneath it. Which

257
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 7: really is most of my acting career is I somehow

258
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 7: keep falling into these really great projects with people that

259
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 7: really know what they're doing, and then it makes it

260
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 7: look like I know what I'm doing.

261
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: So the film was to May we did with her, Oh,

262
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: mars Tome. That was a different departure for you, wasn't it.

263
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was the King of Staten Island.

264
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 7: That was Judd Apatow and Pete Davidson, and yeah, I

265
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 7: got to work opposite Marisitome, which was amazing.

266
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, Oscar Winner. I learned so much

267
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 5: from her in very subtle like ways.

268
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: That's cool.

269
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, Like there's something when I showed my tattoo or

270
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 7: whatever in the end for that gag, she was just.

271
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 5: Like, no, no, no, no, no, don't to me.

272
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 7: You know, I want to have the first She was

273
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 7: really like really in it, and uh, and then also

274
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 7: I remember she had a scene where she had to

275
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 7: like cry and a lot of actors stress.

276
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 5: She didn't. She totally had it. And then she something happened.

277
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 5: She goes, oh, I was there, I was there.

278
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 7: I did that, and I was thinking like, oh, now

279
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 7: is this going to be a thing right back to

280
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 7: one nailed it and total pro like yes, yes.

281
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 5: So it's kind of what I got from her.

282
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 7: And uh, I got to work with Don lom Bardozi

283
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 7: from the wire.

284
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 5: He was incredible.

285
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 7: Who else Steve Buscemi getting to see Pete Davidson starring

286
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 7: his first thing and with his friends, you know, Ricky

287
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 7: Velez and all of them, and then working with Jodd

288
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 7: and all that.

289
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 5: It was really cool. It was cool.

290
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 7: Jud's like a mad scientist where it's like I guess

291
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 7: to put in a musical thing, it'd be like, okay,

292
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 7: here's the chords in this section, we're gonna solo.

293
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 5: How are we going to sew for? I'll give you

294
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 5: a look. That type of.

295
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 7: Thing, you know, like when you watch a band and

296
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 7: everybody's looking at each other and you know it's like

297
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 7: a live that's sort of the atmosphere.

298
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: So it's like Wayne Shorter.

299
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was kind of like that movie was so

300
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 7: much fun because I just felt like, once I got

301
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 7: to know everybody on it, I was just like hanging

302
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 7: out with friends and we were just messing around. And

303
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 7: I still don't know how he puts it together though,

304
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 7: My god, because the improbably keeps going after somebody's coverage

305
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 7: and then you come around and he's like, no, it's fine,

306
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 7: it's I mean, guy obviously knows what he's doing.

307
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: Good work with people who know what they're doing. Yes,

308
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: it's all about that man, right. Yeah, my buddy's Skippy.

309
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: We were talking earlier. You know, he's from your turf. Yeah,

310
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: the whole Boston, Connecticut.

311
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: You being from Massachusetts, me growing up in Hartford, where

312
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: Boston was our big city, so we were all fans

313
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: of the Red Sox and the Bruins and Patriots and

314
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 2: of course the Celtics. I was thinking about the fact

315
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: that I mentioned you earlier. Nineteen six seventy five, I

316
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: was actually in Fenway Park when Carlton Fisk hit that

317
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: famous home run.

318
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 5: It's unbelievable one.

319
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: They still say it's one of possibly one of the

320
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: most epic sports nights of all time, but thinking back

321
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: as a fan and having season tickets at Fenway Park

322
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: and now thinking also about the fact that you performed

323
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: at Fenway Park, the only comic to ever perform at

324
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: Fenway Park. What was it like in terms of being

325
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: able Can you relate to an audience when you're in

326
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: a stadium like that as opposed to a club or working, Yeah,

327
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: can you read the room like that?

328
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 5: It was.

329
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 7: It took me about ten to fifteen minutes to really

330
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 7: realize like, oh, they're just here to listen, and then

331
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 7: it just became this giant outdoor comedy club. And I

332
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 7: just think with today's technology, the big screens and the sound,

333
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 7: that it's not like the old days when even up

334
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 7: until I remember I did this this tour for this

335
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 7: radio show, the Opian Anthony Show, and even then, I

336
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 7: think we did a couple of those arenas. I think

337
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 7: we did like the Worcester Centrum and there was a

338
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 7: little bit of that hitting the back wall coming back

339
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 7: and you had to wait. Like the time, it was

340
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 7: a little different. But they've kind of figured all of

341
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 7: that out. So you can take them on like you

342
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 7: can take them on a ride. You can lower your

343
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 7: voice and they'll get quiet and you can.

344
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 5: Bring it up and they go up.

345
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 7: But that was one of those gigs that I just

346
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 7: had to like not think about, yeah so I could

347
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 7: do it. I still can't believe that that. That's one

348
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 7: of those ones that I can't believe that, like it happened,

349
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 7: and like, you know, and then something like that happens,

350
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 7: you think.

351
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 5: Like, Okay, that's got to be it.

352
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 7: That's got to be the last crazy thing that's going

353
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 7: to happen to me, Like how many things are going

354
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 7: to happen, And then like something else happens, and it's

355
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 7: just kind of like I.

356
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 5: Don't know why.

357
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 7: I definitely have that, you know, you think about it

358
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 7: sometimes like why do I get to do this stuff?

359
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

360
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: Like, but that had to be so epic. That's way

361
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: more people than even when you perform at Madison Square Garden.

362
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't imagine.

363
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, crowd like that.

364
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 7: I mean, well, led Zeppelin used to call it the ocean,

365
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 7: and now I understood. It was like this ocean of

366
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 7: people in this wave of laughter that was coming in.

367
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 7: And you know.

368
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 5: It's funny.

369
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 7: People always go like make sure you take it in.

370
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 7: They would say that make sure you take it in.

371
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 7: It's like I'm a comedian. I can't stop, like I

372
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 7: have to, like I have to keep this rhythm. Unless

373
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 7: I did a bit about taking it in, maybe I

374
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 7: could have done that, but I definitely on that one,

375
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 7: I just kept looking up at it says Fenway Park

376
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 7: OVA home plate, and I was looking out. I just

377
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 7: kept seeing that, and on a good laugh, I would

378
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 7: kind of look up at the sky and I would

379
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 7: look over it like the green Monster.

380
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.

381
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 7: I don't even I don't even know how to I

382
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 7: don't there's no way to kind of.

383
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 5: Put that in word.

384
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 6: You know.

385
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 5: What I thought about was I remember.

386
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 7: You know, growing up in Massachusetts, and during the wintertime,

387
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 7: we would have indoor recess because it would just get

388
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 7: too cold to go outside and it was a pain

389
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 7: to get all bundled up and comes, so they would

390
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 7: just have you in the classrooms. And I started doing

391
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 7: this thing with two who my friends. Was I was

392
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 7: just I'd made up these characters, and I just started

393
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 7: making up these stories about what they were doing, just

394
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 7: telling stories, and they would be laughing really hard, and

395
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 7: then all of a sudden, there was four people there.

396
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 7: Then there was five people there, and then I you know,

397
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 7: as the recesses went on and on, all of a sudden,

398
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 7: I was like pulling a crowd the first time I

399
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 7: pulled the crowd, and then it got too big and

400
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 7: I got too embarrassed and he didn't want to do it,

401
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 7: and I was thinking like that was the start of it,

402
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 7: and that crowd just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger,

403
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 7: until all of a sudden, you know, I'm at Fenway

404
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 7: all those years later, I'm still telling telling stories and

405
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 7: it was sort of like a little mini high school reunion.

406
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 7: And I want to say, one of the guys that

407
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 7: he was telling the stories to was there. I think

408
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 7: he became a firefighter, but that wasn't I don't know.

409
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 7: You know, when you get like something really big, it's

410
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 7: just like, look, just go out and do what you

411
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 7: do and don't think about it, you know what I mean?

412
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 7: And then like people keep asking you about it.

413
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: Like I don't wonder where luck comes from. Yeah, don't

414
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: even think about.

415
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,239
Speaker 5: It, just ye, just go out and uh.

416
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 2: But being an innovator though, because this is innovated what

417
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: you did at Fenway, Paul and I are new to

418
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: the podcast business now, it seems like everybody has a podcast,

419
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: but you did a podcast in year thousand and seven. Yeah, right, yeah,

420
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: I mean, how did that come about?

421
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 7: This comedian Bobby Kelly Robert Kelly, and I started off

422
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 7: with in Boston, hilarious, hilarious, hilarious, one of the most

423
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 7: charismatic people I know. And he's like it was funny,

424
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 7: like we lived together and we were complete opposites as

425
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 7: far as like like when it came to technology, like

426
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 7: I hated I'm not into computers. I'm not in the

427
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 7: phones and all of that crap. Like I like a

428
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 7: cup of coffee and read the newspaper. I'm just an

429
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 7: old man at heart. And he always had the latest,

430
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 7: the latest stuff. So in a way, like he was

431
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 7: the one that kind of kept me current. So he

432
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 7: was the one that told me. So we both lived

433
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 7: in the same neighborhood in New York and I went

434
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 7: over there whatever have lunch, and he was the one that.

435
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 5: Told me about have you heard about podcasts?

436
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 7: I'm like, no, I don't know what that is. And

437
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 7: this is back when I was on MySpace. He's like, dude,

438
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 7: it's just he's like, it's just a new way to

439
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 7: connect with your fans and I used to call up

440
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 7: this service and I would be on like a flip

441
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 7: phone and I would talk for five minutes. How you

442
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 7: guys doing, I'm going to be at the Funny Bone

443
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 7: here or the improv there. And then it just kept growing.

444
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 7: And then I used to drive around talking on the

445
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 7: phone making fun of people, or I'd be like at

446
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 7: an airport making fun of fat people or whatever the

447
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 7: hell I was doing, and it just kept getting bigger

448
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 7: and bigger and bigger. Then people started having guests and

449
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 7: I was like, I don't have a guess then what

450
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 7: if they're late, what if they have to cancel. I

451
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 7: didn't get in this business to have a job, so

452
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 7: I just kind of did it myself, and I had

453
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 7: like segments Underrated, Overrated? Is it Racist? Was one that

454
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 7: I remember from backing the day. And then then people

455
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 7: would just call in and like ask advice. And it's

456
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 7: this really cool relationship where my fans like trash me

457
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 7: and they call me all day. I might I should

458
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 7: write down all the nicknames they have, like a zillion

459
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 7: nicknames for me. All of them make fun of the

460
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 7: fact that I'm a ginger, and then I'm bald, and

461
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 7: then I'm old and one of them legitimately like makes

462
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 7: me laugh like every week, like they're really like my

463
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 7: listeners are really funny and they ask like great questions

464
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 7: and stuff. And Andrew Emliss is my producer, so it's

465
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 7: sort of a two man show over there, and he

466
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 7: he puts it together and posts it and all that.

467
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 7: So I kind of, you know, like my whole my

468
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 7: whole career, everything has just been one accident. I just

469
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 7: feel like I just keep falling into these things and

470
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 7: that are filled with like gold.

471
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,119

Speaker 7: Myself a whole year. That's how like Waldolf and Shy,

542
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 7: I was in the second I made that resolution. Like

543
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 7: two weeks later, nixt Comedy Stuff was having it and

544
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,879

545
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 7: signed up that they had to have two nights. So

546
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,439

Speaker 5: I went up.

550
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 7: Didn't do that well, but like I knew, this is

551
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 7: what I'm supposed to be doing. And Billy Martin was

552
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 7: the host who now works for Bill maher at real time,

553
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 7: and he wrote down read a choice's name. She booked

554
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 7: the open mics, and she was funny as hell. She

555
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 7: used to make me call up and say, this is Bill,

556
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 7: this is open micer Bil Burr calling and like, I

00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 5: But I loved it.

559
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 7: She saw that I could take it, so she kind

560
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 7: of took a liking to me, and I think I

561
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 7: got a little, you know, extra stage time from her.

562
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,719
Speaker 5: So and that's how that's kind of how it started.

563
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: How did David Foster Wallace affect you?

564
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 6: Oh?

565
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: How did that inspire you?

566
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 7: First of all, I didn't know any idea who he was.

567
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 7: I had no idea. And my wife went to Emerson

568
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 7: like ten years after me, and she was huge into him.

569
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 7: And one day she was talking about him and she

570
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 7: showed me a picture. I'm aber that guy. She goes, yeah,

571
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 7: he's like an unbelievable writer. He might have passed at

572
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 7: that point. And I was like, yeah, that guy taught

573
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 7: one of my classes at Emerson, because she was like,

574
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 7: get the hell out of held. What I remember about

575
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 7: him He had a bandana on and he used to

576
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 7: see swore like a sailor. That's what I remember. And

577
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 7: I also remember I did some sort of book report

578
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 7: and in the margin he wrote and read he said, Dude,

579
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 7: when you're writing a book report, it's probably a good

580
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 7: thing to not misspell the main characters.

581
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 5: Thing.

582
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 2: Did your parents pay to put you through school?

583
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 9: No?

00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 5: I did, so I commuted. That's why I missed everything.

585
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: So what did you do? What did you do to

586

00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 7: you know, the humiliation and embarrassment of bombing in front

631
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 7: of a crowd wasn't that bad because it's like, all right,

632
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 7: you know, heckle, my dad's always yelling at me, you know,

633
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 7: just like you know, and there was you know, I

634
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 7: grew up even just outside of Boston, it was just

635
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 7: so many tough kids that you just beat the shit

636
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 7: out of you that like you know, standing on the

637
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 7: stage just having somebody you know, yell at me. It

638
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 7: was like it was like medium speed. It's like, ah, right,

639
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 7: you know that's not.

640
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: Bad process process?

641
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 6: Yah?

642
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 5: Is that all you got?

643
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 8: Like, it's that must be helled, and especially even if

644
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 8: you're singing and you hear I'm not annoyed the ship

645
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 8: of him.

646
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: When I was a kid.

647
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 7: Oh, and they like wrap it up play oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

648
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: Deadly, deadly, deadly.

649
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 7: I know, and then you think all of the clever

650
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 7: things to say after you leave. But then what ends

651
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 7: up happening is that ends one day it lines up

652
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 7: and you're able to be.

653
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 5: In the moment.

654
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then all you got to do is just

655
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 7: chop the head off one of them, and then they're

656
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 7: all like everybody kind of falls in line, and then

657
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 7: the crowd like behaves itself.

658
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 8: You had your stalk lines to throw back, go play

659
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 8: in the traffic, yeah, and to get your hearing aid

660
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 8: for your mode.

661
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

662
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 7: Then after a while I got sick of stock lines.

663
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 7: It's like I want to I want to eviscerate this

664
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 7: by looking at.

665
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 5: Them or whatever.

666
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 7: And I guess someone with a funny one. The other day,

667
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 7: I was at this after party and I.

668
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 5: Met this woman.

669
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 7: I said, hey, it's thanks to coming out to the show,

670
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 7: and she's looking at me and I'm looking at her whatever.

671
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 5: She just goes, Jesus Christ, Bill, you never remember who

672
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 5: I am. I've known you for fifteen years.

673
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 7: I used to hang on you, and she just goes

674
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,959
Speaker 7: in on me and she's going on and on and

675
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 7: on and on, and I mean, I'm talking like a

676
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 7: thirty second tongue lashing, and then she's in the middle

677
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 7: of it. I just looked at her husband and I

678
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 7: just went like, I feel for your brother, and she

679
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 7: laughed and he goes, you just made my month. And

680
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 7: it kind of diffused the whole situation. And that's kind

681
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 7: of like how I like to do it. More like

682
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 7: it was a playful thing because I knew she could

683
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 7: hear it, Like if I said that in private, then

684
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 7: it takes on something else. But I literally said it

685
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 7: right as she was doing that, And she was such

686
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 7: a good sport. She threw her head back and laughed

687
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 7: and then told my wife about it. And my wife

688
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 7: has like the greatest sense of humor. My wife has

689
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 7: an unbelievable.

690
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: You throw things at her. You touched all your stuff

691
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: for her.

692
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 5: No, I'm just like an idiot all day, joking around.

693
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 7: When I'm not flipping out, I just joke around all

694
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 7: the time, and occasionally you.

695
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: Won't test anything with her.

696
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 7: No, But what happens is is I'm joking around and

697
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 7: I'll just come on to something that really makes her laugh,

698
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 7: which is my wife's making my wife laugh. She's my

699
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 7: favorite person in the world to make laugh. She's got

700
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 7: this killer laugh and you know, she grew up in

701
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 7: this business, so she's not an easy laugh, right, Like,

702
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 7: if I have a bad one, she'll really look at

703
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 7: me and be like wow.

704
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 5: She'll literally just she'll heckle me. Cool.

705
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 7: It'll be like good story bed in the roller rise

706
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 7: or whatever, which makes me laugh. And she's every bit

707
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 7: as funny as I am. It's I don't know what

708
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 7: it is. There's some about her laugh. That's what got me.

709
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 8: So speaking on that subject, because I'm sure you get

710
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 8: some backlash on certain things.

711
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: Of the UFC. When Trump walked in, Oh that, you

712
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: don't mind me bringing it up. I though that was

713
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: very cool what she did.

714
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 5: Oh that, Yeah, I mean, I listen.

715
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 7: One of the funny things about my wife is you're

716
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 7: always gonna know where you stand with her. So so

717
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 7: that's what I like about her.

718
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 5: Like if she laughs, you know, it's funny. If she

719
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 5: likes you, you know, she likes you. If she doesn't

720
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 5: like you, like, that's that's you know.

721
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: It is what it is makes life easy.

722
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it does, it does. So, I mean, you

723
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 5: know that.

724
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 7: Was like a crazy sort of like you think you're

725
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 7: going to the fights and all of a sudden you're

726
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 7: at like this big like everything's like remember when we

727
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 7: were kids, like you didn't bring up politics or religion,

728
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 7: and now everybody is like bringing that stuff up. Listen,

729
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 7: I will tell you this. So aside from all of

730
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 7: that bullshit or whatever and all that, the pomp and

731
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 7: circumstance of the event, the UFC that close was one

732
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 7: of the greatest things I've ever gone to. Just like, yeah,

733
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 7: there was a lot of like fanboy kind of like moment.

734
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 5: There as far as like just everything.

735
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 7: There was a lot of good, you know, entrance music

736
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 7: that night. I was trying to zam some of it.

737
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 7: I was like, I like this, man, I don't know

738
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 7: what this is.

739
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 5: This is cool.

740
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 7: But there was too many people with their cell phones

741
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 7: on and it was cool too, because I had my

742
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 7: big show the night before.

743
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 5: And all that was, you know, behind me.

744
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 7: I got to do the Garden and my special guest

745
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 7: was Andrew Dice Clay whoa which I thought was such

746
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 7: a great idea until he went on stage and started murdering,

747
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 7: and I was thinking, like, why would I do this?

748
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 5: He was killing so hard?

749
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 7: And then he gave me this great intro and he

750
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 7: gave me like a bear hug, and that there was

751
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 7: another one of those things when I was thinking like,

752
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 7: you know, all right, Fenway, this it has to be

753
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 7: like the height. Now I slide down, and then all

754
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 7: of a sudden, I do Madison Square Garden with Dice.

755
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 7: He gives me this great intro and then gives me

756
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 7: a bear hug. And if you told the twenty one

757
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 7: year old me working in that warehouse in nineteen eighty nine,

758
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 7: fucking up in school and everything that that was going

759
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 7: to happen, and I.

760
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 5: Probably would have fainted. It's it's yeah, it's great.

761
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: What's on your boocket list? Now? With all of that,

762
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: what can be left?

763
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 7: I like helping out the younger comics in like, you know,

764
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 7: this this old dad's things happening has opened up this

765
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 7: door for me where I can you know, I'm gonna

766
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 7: get together with Ben, I'm going to write something else

767
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 7: and uh. Sort of our formula with the script was

768
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 7: I wanted to make sure every actor was excited, even

769
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 7: if they only had two lines, like they were going

770
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 7: to get a chance, you know, to swing for the

771
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 7: fences and get a laugh or have like a moment

772
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 7: or something like that, because I learned that just from

773
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 7: you know, having little parts that there's not much to

774
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 7: do when you're trying to think, how can I make

775
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 7: this like interesting without like trying distracting from what's going

776
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 7: on and stuff.

777
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 5: I like doing that.

778
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 7: I like seeing a fun a funny comedian and letting

779
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 7: stopping and taking the time to be like, I caught

780
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 7: your set, you're funny because the older guys did that

781
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 7: for me when I I was younger, and like, it

782
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 7: meant so much to me. When you're going through these

783
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 7: down times and thinking is anyone going to notice me?

784
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 7: Is anybody going to give me a shot? I would

785
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 7: think like so and so thinks I'm funny.

786
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 2: So myself, my friends we play golf, they have other friends,

787
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 2: they play tennis, they play pickleball. But your escape is helicopters, right,

788
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 2: I mean that's.

789
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 5: Helicopter's drums going to the gym.

790
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, But what about how did you get started with helicopters.

791
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 7: I got into it through I got into conspiracy theory,

792
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 7: and I was reading up on the dollar and all

793
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 7: of that, and they were all saying it was going

794
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 7: to collapse soon.

795
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 5: And I was thinking of.

796
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 7: How hard it was to get out of LA even

797
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 7: with everybody believing in the dollar.

798
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 5: What's the easiest way?

799
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 7: And I don't even know where I'm going? Was just

800
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 7: up and out. So I was like, I got to

801
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 7: learn how to fly a helicopter, and then the conspiracy

802
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 7: theory kind of went away. My love for like machines,

803
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 7: and that's like I love everything cars, trucks, motorcycles, planes,

804
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 7: old stuff too. I just anything that has an engine

805
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 7: in it. Or like, I mean, I've lost so many

806
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 7: nights going down rabbit holes looking at people explaining transmissions

807
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 7: and differentials. You know, I've never had the balls to

808
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 7: go open any of those things up to look at them.

809
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: But how hard is it to get your license to

810
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 2: fly helicopter?

811
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 5: The money parts the hard part. Money and time is

812
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 5: what you need.

813
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 7: But forty hours, forty and forty five hours. So if

814
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 7: you go full time six to eight weeks.

815
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 5: You're ready to come to go six eight weeks. Yeah,

816
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 5: you know, I fly over here all the time. What

817
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 5: I bring? You bring the helicopter over I go over

818
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,479
Speaker 5: here all the time, ridable two.

819
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: Or three helicopters here.

820
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

821
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 5: I tried to why too, well, I know there's fancy

822
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 5: people over here. I don't want to this.

823
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: Run at least dip for me or in a little

824
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: or wave or something.

825
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 6: You know.

826
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 7: Obviously, Westlake is a reporting point, you know, which means

827
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 7: what you know, you're like, uh, white helicopter in northwestbound

828
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 7: West Lakes seventeen hundred feet climbing or whatever you're going

829
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 7: to say.

830
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 5: But like you use it like the Reagan Library Westlake.

831
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 2: If you're scared, yeah, I mean weather or no.

832
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 7: The first time you solo, you're looking over an empty seat.

833
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 5: I would tell you that's probably.

834
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 7: But I'm German Irish, so I block it out and

835
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 7: then the stress comes out in another way and I

836
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 7: just remember sort of being locked in like this fight

837
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 7: or flight mindset for like three hours.

838
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 2: But like, are you confident enough to like take your

839
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 2: kids up let them fly with you?

840
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 7: Ummm, I would only bring up my whole family we

841
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 7: all die or we all live. I would do that,

842
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 7: but I wouldn't bring up portions of my family. So

843
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 7: I've never done that. But like you know, I brought

844
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 7: friends up and stuff like that. I am confident. And

845
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 7: then the big thing, you know, the first time you

846
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 7: bring a passenger up, as you're kind of like, wow,

847
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 7: I have this person's life in my hands. There's like

848
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 7: stupid things that you can do and everybody knows what

849
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 7: they are, and you just don't do them.

850
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 5: You just don't have you know.

851
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 2: It's got to be a blast though, that feeling of

852
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 2: freedom of just being up there, it's got to be great.

853
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely fun.

854
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 7: As I wish I did fixed wing because you can't

855
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 7: really chill out when you're flying a hell. You always

856
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,479
Speaker 7: have to, you know. It's just the story of my life.

857
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 7: Everything is always more difficult the route. Like I feel

858
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 7: like when I stayed back in first grade, it just

859
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 7: set the tone that I was always going to be.

860
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 7: I always feel like I'm a little behind or whatever,

861
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 7: or I always take like the long way.

862
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 5: Around or something.

863
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 7: But because of that, I feel like, you know, my

864
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 7: stuff is built whether you like it or not. It

865
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 7: is based in bedrock, and I am not outside of

866
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 7: my I'm not trying to pretend to be something else,

867
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 7: which I've seen. I've seen that in this business, and

868
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 7: that becomes a very hard thing.

869
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 2: So now that you've become a big star, you go,

870
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 2: you go back to Massachusetts. Are there places that are

871
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 2: like the old haunts that you have to go to

872
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 2: when you go back there, the places that you want

873
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 2: to always make sure you.

874
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 7: Yeah again, listen, people leave me alone. It's like Taylor

875
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 7: Swift is a big like she literally can't go outside.

876
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 7: I walked down the street, people like, hey, Billy red Face,

877
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 7: go fuck yourself. I mean that's It's not like people

878
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 7: run after me like Beatlemania.

879
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 5: I'm just like, hey, what's up?

880
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: You know?

881
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 7: I never noticed that I was doing an acting gig.

882
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 7: It was like the third person that walked by we

883
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 7: were shooting on the street told me to go fuck myself,

884
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 7: and I would just be like, hey, man, how are

885
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 7: you like? I would say that, and then they were

886
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 7: just I think I can't remember who it was. They

887
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 7: just started laughing, going like you have such a weird

888
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 7: relationship with your friends, with your fans, I just said friends,

889
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 7: it's kind of I look at them like they're just

890
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 7: people that I would hang out with.

891
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: That's so cool though, to be able to do that.

892
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: I love it.

893
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, walking out Like Elvis, I could never get him out.

894
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 8: He would never walk.

895
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: In the street, never go to dinner. Oh yeah, all

896
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: the years I know him. But you're so right.

897
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 8: You know, you go out there now and you your

898
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 8: fans and people when they can just come up to

899
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,479
Speaker 8: you and treat you like a straight out human being.

900
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 7: But I think if you just walk down the street

901
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 7: by yourself, it's like the law of attraction. Like if

902
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 7: you got a bunch of people and SUV's going like this,

903
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 7: people do that. But if you're just sort of walking

904
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 7: down the street exactly like hey you're that guy. Yeah,

905
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 7: oh thanks for listening, all right, cool right man?

906
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 5: Cool? I just that's it.

907
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

908
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: So Paul said that you want to give singing a gough,

909
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 2: you want.

910
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 5: To give it a want a classic. He told me

911
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 5: he's gonna he's gonna let me do like a duet.

912
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 8: Well, one of the great things with Bill when we

913
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 8: have a hang and we go to the Cigar club,

914
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 8: it's great.

915
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: So what I learned about Bill was. He loves music.

916
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: He's a drummer and he loves his music. He's very

917
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: articulate on music. So when I asked him, you know,

918
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: I got the podcast, come on on out came, which

919
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: I never imagined would. He said, well, I want to sing?

920
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: He said, Well, now I know actors want to be singers.

921
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 5: I said, I wanted to sing with you.

922
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 6: Well, you got it.

923
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 1: Singers want to be actors. Colleagues want to be singers.

924
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: So I said, okay, what do you want to do?

925
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: So I threw some titles at him. He gave me

926
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 1: one of his. So we landed on coal Porters. I've

927
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: got you under my skin. This is a first man.

928
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna give this a shot. We got the band.

929
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 7: I'm not too familiar with the words, so I might

930
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 7: have to improvise some of them.

931
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: Alrightever you want, We're not expecting a whole lot. Okay,

932
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: a lot of fun.

933
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 5: That's the kind of confidence I'm looking for.

934
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: You got it.

935
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 7: You know I'm gonna make up for my tone deafness

936
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 7: with performance.

937
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: So we got the band in the other room.

938
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 5: Yes we do.

939
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna give it a shot.

Speaker 5: I love what you guys do. It blows.

999
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 7: I think what you guys do is uh, you know,

1000
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 7: for someone that you know doesn't have.

1001
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 5: Musical ability or whatever.

1002
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 7: I just think, you know, to hear something and create

1003
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 7: a song out of it. And also like I watch

1004
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 7: like I love watching those bands I was telling you about,

1005
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 7: like they're looking at each other when they're on stage

1006
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 7: and you just know, like that they're so good that

1007
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 7: they can little we talk to each other in real

1008
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 7: time in front of a crowd and not mess it up.

1009
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 5: I saw the usef.

1010
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 7: Dave's experience at I think the Blue Note in New

1011
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 7: York City, and that was the thing. They were all

1012
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 7: looking at each other and everything, and I was getting

1013
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 7: like chills just watching it.

1014
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 5: That how like that level that gift?

1015
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah you Weather Report, Yes.

1016
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 5: Peter Peter Erskine was in that band, right, the dram Shorter.

1017
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 8: That's a true example of what you just said. The

1018
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 8: way they fed off of each even Williams with Miles Davis,

1019
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 8: that was brilliance. That was those arrangements and the business

1020
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 8: between those Do.

1021
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 7: You know That's why I improve, That's why I improvise

1022
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 7: on stage because I you know, there's this thing like

1023
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 7: as a comedian that you sort of latch onto in

1024
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 7: the beginning where it's just like That's how I said it,

1025
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 7: and it worked, and I need to like record this

1026
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 7: and write it down and memorize it and make sure

1027
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 7: you're going like this with your arm and shit, and

1028
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 7: it like it inhibits your creativity after a while. And

1029
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 7: then what happens is the the mundaneus of doing it

1030
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 7: the same way and saying it the same way. I

1031
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 7: feel for the way my brain works just drags me down,

1032
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 7: and I feel like I'm walking through wet snow and

1033
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 7: watching everyone from Stevie ray Vaughn to when Sting left

1034
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 7: police and he was putting together like these bands with

1035
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,720
Speaker 7: Vinnie Collyouna and all of them that it's like, without

1036
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 7: realizing it, like I learned, like, wow, these guys they

1037
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 7: don't do it the same way every night because they

1038
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 7: would go nuts if they did. So there's this spontanaty

1039
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 7: in a front and you see every once in a while,

1040
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 7: like someone will laugh and look at somebody else it's like.

1041
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 5: Oh that was he just did that?

1042
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 7: Maybe the egg that guy on or just doing it

1043
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 7: because you know, this is the eightieth date of the thing.

1044
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 7: So I was like, well, why do I got to

1045
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 7: do these the same way the same order? Like and

1046
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 7: then the comics that I liked everyone from a guy

1047
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 7: that I started with, Patris O'Neil, one of the greatest

1048
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 7: comics I ever saw, to I saw a guy Frank

1049
00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 7: Santa Santarelli messing around one time in Boston. That's stuck

1050
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 7: with me, and you know, and I kind of was

1051
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 7: looking like, man, there's sort of two roads of comedy here.

1052
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 7: There's the technician, you know, which I totally respect, and then.

1053
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: This right, he's got every word down. He seems to

1054
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 1: do the same.

1055
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 7: You know, I've never talked to him about that, but

1056
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 7: I know he writes on stage, so I think he's

1057
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 7: one of those guys.

1058
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 5: You know, he's so gifted he can do like bo shit.

1059
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 7: But like, I just gravitated towards those people, like I

1060
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 7: loved opening for somebody, And every show was a little different,

1061
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 7: you know than the wait staff would be listening as

1062
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 7: opposed to then like reciting your shit.

1063
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:36,919
Speaker 5: By the end of the weekend. And I didn't ever

1064
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 5: want that, and you know, I just did.

1065
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 7: Like this bus tour earlier started earlier in October, started

1066
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 7: in Maine and ended up in Milwaukee, and I was

1067
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 7: doing ten shows and eleven nights and I just went

1068
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 7: into this mode of like, I'm just gonna like say

1069
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 7: say whatever I want to say because I'm not doing

1070
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 7: my act ten times and eleven nights because I'm gonna

1071
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 7: want to kill myself. And then like just it just

1072
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 7: it just expanded and all this new stuff started coming out.

1073
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 7: And then the key is when you have a set

1074
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 7: like that is to not the hardest thing is not

1075
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 7: to think about it the next night, going like, wow,

1076
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 7: I improv so great last night. Let me redo those things,

1077
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 7: because then you're back here. You got to be like

1078
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 7: it went great last night, forget that and go like that,

1079
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 7: and then you know, shapes from things that you talked

1080
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 7: about gradually starting becoming bits.

1081
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: You tape your shows bill so, oh my god.

1082
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 7: I tape my shows for about seven years before I

1083
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 7: finally admitted to myself, I was never going to listen

1084
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 7: to it. Well, I used to, you know, if I'd

1085
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 7: say short set, like I go down to the store

1086
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 7: and I do fifteen twenty minutes. I was in a

1087
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 7: groove there about ten years ago where I would put

1088
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 7: it on in the car and I'd listened to it

1089
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 7: when I went home.

1090
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 5: I wouldn't write it down.

1091
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 7: I would just listen to it again, and I'd be like,

1092
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 7: all right, cool, all right, I have the idea of

1093
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 7: that idea And then you know.

1094
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: So you don't write it down anymore. You'll just take

1095
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: it and run it somewhere.

1096
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 7: He gives that down and wrote jokes in twenty years.

1097
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: Cool, So you just take it to work and put

1098
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: it to practice.

1099
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I just yeah, I just go up there

1100
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 7: and no, I'm telling you. It came from watching musicians

1101
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 7: as much as it came from watching great comedians.

1102
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 5: It was sort of like an equal thing.

1103
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 7: And then even like I watch like, you know, Tony

1104
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,439
Speaker 7: Williams is you know, kind of my guy as far

1105
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 7: as like drummers and stuff, Like I just love watching

1106
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 7: his solos and stuff, or like Steve Gadd.

1107
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 5: And the way they would like structure it and stuff.

1108
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 7: And then you'd watch the band looking at him waiting

1109
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 7: to see when they were gonna come out of it,

1110
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 7: or Vinnie, you know, all of these guys. Double Trouble

1111
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 7: with Stevie Ray Vaughan was another thing. They would just

1112
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 7: be looking at him and he kind of looked even

1113
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 7: when they were doing TV. Yeah, they you know, and

1114
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 7: you have defined we got to go to commercial and

1115
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 7: even then you'd see like that great one the second

1116
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 7: time when he's on Austin City Limits and he plays

1117
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 7: tight rope.

1118
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I mean, I just it gives me

1119
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 5: chills every time I watch him solo. But you see

1120
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 5: him he.

1121
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 7: Turns around and just gives a little nod or he

1122
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 7: just kind of holds a note and looks back like that,

1123
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 7: and it's just like, like, that's what it's about, that

1124
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 7: moment right there.

1125
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, all the bullshit.

1126
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 7: You go through, getting ripped off and all of this

1127
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 7: crap and struggling for that little second of like magic

1128
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 7: or to get to work with somebody that good is

1129
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 7: when you were saying earlier, like what's next, It's just

1130
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 7: like I just keep chasing that in whatever whatever it

1131
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 7: is that I'm doing.

1132
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 8: Speaking of greatness, I lived in London when Hendricks arrived.

1133
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 8: Nobody knew who he was, and they played that little club.

1134
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 8: Every big guitarist in London was at that show and

1135
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 8: that little club, and they all went home and wanted

1136
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 8: to commit suicide.

1137
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 5: Did you go down to the show.

1138
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 1: No, No, I didn't. My friends went down and told

1139
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 1: me about it.

1140
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 5: Oh was it Ronnie Scott's.

1141
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't Ronny Scott's. It was some little club,

1142
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 1: but every guitar player in England it was somebody. They

1143
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: went home and said, fuck that, I'm not playing a

1144
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: good target. That's how much you impressed them.

1145
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 7: Also, the level of competition over there. At one time

1146
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 7: I was down the store and Tal, you know, the

1147
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 7: bass player, she came down and she had Jeff Beck

1148
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 7: with her and I was like, holy shit, before he passed,

1149
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 7: press his soul obviously, and he was talking to me

1150
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 7: about the level of competition over there, and it was

1151
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 7: all like these nerds that would follow him and just

1152
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 7: wait for you to make a mistake. Because I asked

1153
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 7: him like, how did you start playing without a pick?

1154
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 7: And it came out of a fear that one night

1155
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,439
Speaker 7: he was going to be soloing and he would drop

1156
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 7: the pick and then all these people were like, yeah,

1157
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 7: now what are you going to do?

1158
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 5: So he just learned how to. Isn't that amazing?

1159
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 7: Just Wes Montgomery, I just can't imagine being as good

1160
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 7: as Jeff Beck and being afraid and then like yeah,

1161
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 7: and it just took his playing to this other place.

1162
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 7: I mean, that's one of my favorite live things to

1163
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 7: watch with Tal Vinnie and Jeff at Ronnie Scott's and

1164
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 7: you know, Jimmy Page is in the.

1165
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 5: Shadows like watching you know what I mean.

1166
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean Jeff, Jeff was the guy brilliant.

1167
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I think Prince's solo when he was on

1168
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 8: with a few of those guys, that was one of

1169
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 8: the great solos.

1170
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: I forget the events.

1171
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, the George Harrison things.

1172
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, that was like the solo of the century Man.

1173
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1174
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 7: I kind of feel like, uh, that guy was. I mean,

1175
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 7: he was like a freaking alien. It was just like

1176
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 7: I've seen guys that have master an instrument and can

1177
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 7: mess around on another one. I never saw a guy.

1178
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 7: Every instrument he picked up, it looked like it was

1179
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 7: his main thing. And then the way he could dance

1180
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 7: and sing, and it just and it never it never

1181
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 7: went like that. He just kept getting better and better

1182
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 7: and better. That's a big regret that I never saw.

1183
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 7: I just like kind of forgot how old I was.

1184
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 7: I took guys like him for granted, David Bowie and

1185
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 7: all of these guys that I should have on to

1186
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 7: see and I was like, I'm gonna start you know,

1187
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 7: saying people, so I can I can you know, I just.

1188
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,479
Speaker 8: To love Prince and causet of off the wall question.

1189
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 8: Did Lenny Bruce ever have any effect on you?

1190
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 7: I think Lenny Bruce was was sort of the He

1191
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 7: sort of encompassed I think what I wanted to be

1192
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 7: as a comedian, where I wanted to be, like you know,

1193
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 7: every comic. I think, you know, in a way, you

1194
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 7: want to be dangerous and people can't handle what they

1195
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:31,879
Speaker 7: say You're saying and stupid things like that.

1196
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 5: You know, it's being young. But the reality was, was

1197
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 5: you after him?

1198
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 7: You kind of couldn't do it, and and all of

1199
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 7: these guys they knocked out, like all the walls were

1200
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 7: kind of knocked down by the time I started, so

1201
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 7: and then it was weirdly started to come back up again,

1202
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,879
Speaker 7: which has been strange in like the last like seven

1203
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 7: or eight years, you know, and the left is like

1204
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 7: building back up the walls that the left knocked down

1205
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 7: from the conservative right. That's really it's a really weird time.

1206
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:04,879
Speaker 7: I have to be honest with you, it's a very

1207
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 7: weird time. And I try to, Uh, my thing is,

1208
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 7: I know in my heart I'm not being malicious, so

1209
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 7: I'm just doing what I do. And if people have

1210
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 7: a problem with it. I just listen to them. I

1211
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 7: just go, Okay, you know, I get it.

1212
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 8: You can just speak for so many people though. That's

1213
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 8: the magic of it. You're speaking for a lot of people.

1214
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 5: I mean, do you ever take back?

1215
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 8: Was there anything that you would take back that you're

1216
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 8: so adamant about? Is there one instance where you said, wow,

1217
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 8: I'm going to take that back to you?

1218
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 7: So, oh my god, Like every day, really every day

1219
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 7: I look back and I think the dumb things I

1220
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 7: did are things that I said. It's called if you

1221
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 7: I think if you're just continuing to try to like

1222
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 7: figure yourself out, you know, like you.

1223
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: Made that statement a red rock.

1224
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 8: You remember you said, this is kind of a self

1225
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 8: thing you were going through that you were going to

1226
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 8: try to correct. I forget what it was, but yeah,

1227
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 8: there's some quote word.

1228
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 7: So no, I've worked on myself now that I have

1229
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 7: great arguments with my wife.

1230
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 5: We just get to the root of the matter.

1231
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I say what I say, she figures it out,

1232
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 7: and then the end I go ahead, well, listen, okay, I

1233
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,439
Speaker 7: didn't know that that's what you're trying to say.

1234
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 5: I thought it was this. I don't want to fight

1235
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 5: she's like I don't want to fight either. I love you.

1236
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 5: I love you.

1237
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're out.

1238
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 7: No, No, we get you know, my wife likes to say

1239
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 7: she's a passionate person, so we definitely get into it.

1240
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 2: But does it bother you? When they refer to some

1241
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 2: of what you do? They use the word rant? It's

1242
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 2: a rant times r Does that bug you when you

1243
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 2: hear that?

1244
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 5: Which I think, No, I don't. I can't say. I

1245
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:36,240
Speaker 5: don't read everything.

1246
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 7: I I just sort of skim the headlines to get

1247
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:41,439
Speaker 7: an idea of like is it did this go good?

1248
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 5: Or did it not?

1249
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 7: And but then I'm not going to get involved in

1250
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 7: somebody's you know, like if that's what you hear, fine,

1251
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 7: you know if you think this, if you think of that,

1252
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 7: I don't. I mean, there's nothing I can do about that.

1253
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 7: And I've also learned that like what you say and

1254
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 7: what you mean doesn't matter. It goes into the person's

1255
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,280
Speaker 7: ear and it goes into their brain.

1256
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 10: I used to.

1257
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 7: Compare it to like drugs that are stepped on, because

1258
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 7: then it's cut. It's not pure anymore, it's cut with

1259
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 7: their entire life experience and whatever they.

1260
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 5: Walked in with. Because the movie we just put out.

1261
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 7: I had people on the left, this is borish, this

1262
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 7: is this is barely a movie, which was my favorite

1263
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 7: thing anybody's ever said about anything I've done, and that

1264
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 7: it was just oh my god, it was just this horrible,

1265
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 7: Oh god, this is just bad right because I was

1266
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 7: so dated, like the way my mind was and everything.

1267
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 7: And then on the hardcore right, somebody's going, like, you know,

1268
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 7: it was so hard to watch Bill cave to Hollywood

1269
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 7: woke politics. So those two people saw it, like the

1270
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 7: guy hardcore person on the right thought that it was

1271
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 7: just like some advertisement for a gender neutral bathroom for

1272
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 7: ninety minutes, and then this other person all the way

1273
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 7: on the left thought it was dragging us back into

1274
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 7: the caves. So I don't listen to those idiots. It's

1275
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 7: the people in the middle who were just how was

1276
00:57:58,920 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 7: the movie sucked?

1277
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 5: Or I liked it?

1278
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 6: Like?

1279
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 5: Those are the people I'm going for. Those people are

1280
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 5: like me where it's kind of like, you know, I

1281
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 5: don't let politics affect whether I like a fucking movie

1282
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 5: or not.

1283
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: You can't, and you know what people are like anyway today,

1284
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't even.

1285
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 6: Listen to it.

1286
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 7: I think it's I think it's a very small minority

1287
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 7: on both sides that just need to be taken out back,

1288
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 7: you know, old yellow style, and then just everybody in

1289
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 7: the middle can kind of like chill and just on

1290
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 7: a thing to think basis, make a logical decision on

1291
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 7: how you.

1292
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: Feel about something, and where is it going. Where's what

1293
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: society going, our business, comedy music.

1294
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 5: Oh, it's going the root of AI.

1295
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: That's no questions.

1296
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 5: It's going the root of AI.

1297
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 7: And they're going to replace all of this that caause

1298
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,439
Speaker 7: that was the thing, like you know, I think during

1299
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 7: that strike when whenever those one of those heads says

1300
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 7: we're not going to negotiate till they start losing their

1301
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 7: apartments and their houses.

1302
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 5: And nobody from their side said, hey man, we're not

1303
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 5: doing that.

1304
00:58:57,720 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: That's right.

1305
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 7: They have silence was deafening with that, and I'm just like,

1306
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 7: all right, so, now, okay, I get it. There's you

1307
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 7: guys and us, and they're going to start, I guess,

1308
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 7: with movies, probably with extras. You know, it's only a

1309
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 7: three year deal, and I know we didn't get everything.

1310
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 7: So they took a couple of pounds to walk in

1311
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 7: that direction.

1312
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 5: And it's going to be.

1313
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 7: It's going to be wild watching them sell AI to

1314
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 7: regular people, acting like it's for them. It's not for us,

1315
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 7: it's for them, and it's for them to get rid

1316
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 7: of us because they really resent the fact that they

1317
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 7: have to pay you to work for them. They really

1318
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 7: don't want to do that at all. And they don't

1319
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 7: want you to have any benefits. They don't want you

1320
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 7: to have any money. They don't want you to have

1321
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 7: a house or an apartment. Evidently they just don't. They

1322
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 7: they want like all of it.

1323
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 2: But here's the good news. AI is not going to

1324
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 2: get people to not want to go out to see you,

1325
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 2: to see Chris Rock, to see Sebastian Manuscaco, to hear

1326
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 2: Paul perform, to watch him perform. AI can't replace that

1327
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 2: that experience. Everything is about experience today, and that experience

1328
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 2: of being there, being in the room where it happens.

1329
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 2: The people that were at Fenway Park, that saw you

1330
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 2: that that can. That can't be replaced. That can I'm

1331
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 2: telling you that can't be right.

1332
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 7: My thing is I'm just wholding not like all AI

1333
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 7: seems to be able to do is imitate.

1334
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 5: It can't innovate.

1335
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 7: So maybe it'll make all of us better but I

1336
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 7: did learn to this strike that the level that they

1337
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 7: don't care, they don't about they don't they don't and

1338
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 7: they will rip us off any way that they possibly

1339
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 7: can and then come in and smile, hey, Paul and

1340
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 7: give me like a hug sell. I mean, I'm generalizing,

1341
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 7: but like that, I that strike and the heartless way

1342
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 7: that they negotiated really made me look at all of them,

1343
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 7: I guess in a truer light.

1344
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: To her list industry. They all are. They eat their dead,

1345
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 1: they all are.

1346
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 7: I mean, I've watched the the the United autoworkers going

1347
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 7: through mus had psyched. They got like a raise, but

1348
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 7: like they they're gradually they're sending us back to the uh,

1349
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 7: the industrial revolution.

1350
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 5: They're gonna have like our kids working in.

1351
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 6: Factory.

1352
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: They want to work at all.

1353
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 7: No, they'll just bring the kids down to get like

1354
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 7: the picture of them so they can build an AI robot.

1355
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 5: We'll just pay for this once. You know whatever, this

1356
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 5: is getting dark now, it makes great fun.

1357
