WEBVTT - Al Madrigal 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:07.920 Hi, and welcome to Access Podcast. I'm Maddie Stout, Today's guest. 0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.200 Al Magical, so happy to have him on. He's funny, 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.760 he's on TV, he's in movies. You might know it 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:15.840 from the Daily Show. There's a new movie coming out 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:17.919 Nights School with Kevin Hart. We're gonna talk about. But 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:19.919 what we really want to focus in on is the 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:23.639 podcasting and the podcast network All Things Comedy, where he 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.599 does podcast and also he's one of the co founders 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.320 with Bill Burr. Let's check out those two guys together. 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.080 I'm glad we're in shares. You guys don't usually they 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.440 put a stool up here, and I wouldn't be able 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.880 to walk straight for fucking three weeks. Uh, what happened 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:41.800 to you? I hurt myself. This is horrible, and I'm 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.040 I'm forty five years old in July as I try 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:50.360 to take a jacket up. Um. Alright, Al is on 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.680 the show Man. You have a lot going on, so 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.800 I have like a million questions, but you're super busy. 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.600 You've got a movie coming out Night School, the show 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.840 I'm Dying up here, and also All Things Comedy. We're 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:04.840 gonna talk about that a lot. The podcast network. But 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:09.080 is it important today as a comedian to stay relevant 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:13.839 to do so many things? Um, I just like staying busy. 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:18.280 So it's just a way to distract myself from just 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:23.000 sitting down from my own thoughts. So I just like 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.720 keeping busy and as busy as I sort of want 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.640 to be. There's a million other things going on beyond 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.679 this couple of things that you mentioned, just to list 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.200 off real quick. So I sold a show to Fox, 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.280 so I'm in the middle of writing that right now. 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.000 We've got all things comedy, the podcast network, a movie 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.760 I was just in, I'm dying up here coming back, 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.080 and then um out pitching a couple of things. I'm 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:48.960 just trying to do as much as I possibly can. 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.720 I have very little desire to work past the age 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.120 of fifty five, so I'm just trying to cram as 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.960 much in as I possibly can before I hit You know, 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.920 read Jack, reach your books by a pool time. One 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.840 of the things that I know you're not wasting your 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.200 time on. We were talking about technology. You then told 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.400 me you're you're getting off of Twitter. You're getting off 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:15.760 already off Twitter, Twitter, Okay, You're off Twitter, Instagram. Now 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:17.720 for a lot of comedians. That's kind of like the 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.960 like a backbone of of what how they market and 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.280 how they get out there. That was never part of it. 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:28.480 And I know that I'm fairly it's so weird because 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:33.000 I be important, raised in San Francisco and having you know, 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.800 it's been surrounded by friends and tech and uh watching 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:42.080 UM comics get their first websites and you know, I 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:46.079 think of the first website is done by my neighbor. 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.800 And if you're not established at all, I can see 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:55.240 how it's a good way to get material out there. Start. 0:02:55.520 --> 0:03:00.359 I encourage young comics to UM put them make their 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.480 own videos, get them out there as much as they 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.280 possibly can. But UM, I I sort of got in 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.720 before this. I was able to establish myself and I 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.600 just don't think personally that I need to do it. 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.800 And then I am easily distracted, so I find myself 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.680 getting sucked into my phone and I just never wanted 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.639 to be the guy looking down at his phone while 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:24.600 his kid was scoring a soccer goal. So I am 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.480 trying to put it down as much as I possibly can. 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.640 I think it's refreshing UM and I also feel and 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.280 I don't I want to get your opinion on this. 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.480 I think some people's opinions change. A lot of comedians 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.400 that they love to watch their stand up or see 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.360 them on TV shows, but then they you know that 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.720 maybe their Twitter per you know, what they do on 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.560 Twitter really doesn't drive with them. Yeah, you see this 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.880 allowed when somebody makes a political statement there, like you 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.000 were your stick to comedy man, you know, it's like 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.520 you've got a less funny or whatever it is. It's like, yeah, 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:59.240 just the Internet allows anybody to do just whatever they want. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.560 So I think that comics, you know, you have a 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:08.200 very diverse fan base, and they tend to alienate people, 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:13.720 um when they make political statements or they I just 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.320 don't Also, I just don't like divulging information about my 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:21.080 personal life. Are they comics are oversharing so much? I 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.200 guess it's all celebrities, but just I don't give a 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:29.320 ship if you're going to the gym. Do you see 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.520 what I'm talking about now? Was like there's a couple 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.440 of people in particular lately, and I'm not going to 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.320 name names because they're friends of mine, but they're just 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.920 I want to do an intervention and say, what the 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.320 funk are you doing? I don't understand why you're sharing 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.600 every personal detail about yourself. Get your kids off camera. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.719 Your kids don't have a say in this, and stop. 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:54.240 To my point is comedians, he just is the great 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.480 thing of luxury of being a comedian as you can 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.680 say and do whatever you want for the most part. 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.760 So you know, when I was working in New York, 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.000 I worked with the Opening Anthony Show and a couple 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.400 of shows in New York and and one of my 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.880 favorite parts about it was going out after the show 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.039 with the comedians that were on the show, Um yeah, 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.960 and and hanging out and just listening to them bullshit 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.760 talk and talk ship to each other. And it's something 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.800 I feel like, well, this is back in the day. 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.120 It was Paul mercurial a lot, Paul and uh I 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.640 would go and Patrese and um just I mean yeah, 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.880 it was a never ending, you know, roller coaster of 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.039 guys and it was just always so much fun. And 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:36.720 that was I just love that. And I love being 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.320 backstage at comedy shows and just the back and forth. 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.120 And I feel like this is one of the things 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.240 that that you are really embracing with. I'm dying up here. 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.080 So this is something that comedians have done forever, you know, 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.480 get together talk and and be funny together. Have you 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.320 seen that that now with the podcasting, especially with all 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.880 things comedy, this is this is kind of like bringing 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.800 that to people now. Yeah, sure, I love There's a 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.080 couple of things we were trying to do with a 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.840 t C. Because comedy. There's even so at the Comedy 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:11.560 Store in fact that they created a secret bar for 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.800 us so we could hang out with each other and 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:19.440 have these conversations. And I don't think the fans are 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.039 previous to me. This is the best part about stand 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.360 up comedy. What you just mentioned is going and hanging 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.520 out with the comics, sitting down. Some guys are always on. 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.640 Some guys you can have deeper conversations with some because 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:34.000 you know, we have these relationships to go back anyway. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.239 I love being able to hang out with these comics. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.480 And so when you have a podcast, because four or 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.400 five people together that are friends and sure talking about 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.440 whatever they're talking about. If it's comedy, you've heard enough 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:50.200 of those conversations and podcasting were comic interviewing comic about 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:55.160 their backstory or you know, any any just one on 0:06:55.160 --> 0:07:00.400 one comedian conversation, but just them hanging out is is 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.760 such it to me, it's one of the best parts. 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.360 There's sort of the thrill you get from doing new 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.400 material in front of an audience and having it go 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:13.080 extremely well and killing and then hanging out with comedians 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.640 that your buddies with as a close second in terms 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:20.600 of this rewards of a comedy experience. So you totally, 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:22.840 you totally hit the nail on the head when it 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.920 comes to stand up that it's it's that's easily the 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.680 best part. Podcasting allows you to sit in those conversations 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.680 and being a fly on the wall. We're doing a 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.960 show at ATC that hasn't come out yet, but it 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.920 was just comics playing poker, and four of out of 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.800 the five of us didn't really know how to play poker, 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.920 So it was me, Bobby Lee, Bill Burr, Eddie Pepperton, 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:49.320 and Jay Larson drinking and playing poker, smoking cigars, and 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:55.040 it's an abur Bobby Lee cheats at one point. It's 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.800 really some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen. We 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:02.000 have another show that we're working on called Something's Burning, 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:06.440 where Bert Kreisser. It's a cooking show. Bert Krescher just 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.920 starts you know, he's making a meal he really doesn't 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.680 know how to cook very well and thinks he does, 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.800 and comics just sit on the side and make fun 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:19.040 of them participate, So you get to sort of sit 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.400 there with the comics as they're playing poker and just 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.280 you're doing stuff for hanging out at a bar. And 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.840 I think that's You're totally right. That's something I definitely 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:30.280 want to capture and allow people to sort of hang 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.600 out with comedians. And it's one of the reasons, you know, 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.760 ten years ago I left doing morning shows and radio 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.000 because the radio quit letting us have comedians come on 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.320 and just talk, and they wanted them always to do 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.000 these short segments. And for me, when a comedian came in, 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.360 it was like, no, this is somebody to like join 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.320 the show and hang out for an hour as long 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.320 as they want to hang out and you know, and 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.800 actually just beat themselves and be funny. And I felt 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.280 like podcasting was where this is this is happening again, 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.640 where you know, people can go and hang out and 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.240 be funny. And what I like about what the shows 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.920 you just mentioned is they are breaking that mode. They 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.679 are about something. They're not just two guys telling dick jokes. 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.320 It's it's they're telling dick jokes, but they're playing poker 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:16.280 and there's something else going on. Yeah. Um, it's the 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.600 comics and morning radio. When they always asked me to do, 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.679 like what can we set you up with? And they 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.640 wanted me to do material. I just don't. I don't, 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.480 I don't want to. I just want to talk. That's 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.280 now we're talking about the best parts of comedy. We're 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.679 also talking about the worst parts of comedy is doing 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.480 morning radio and local markets when you have to go 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.360 sell tickets on the road. It's sort of why I'm 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.640 phasing out road comedy. I just can't handle the shlug 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.280 of going out and doing morning radio and having some 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:52.160 you know, wacky DJ and Cincinnati asked me to uh 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.320 start you know, doing bits at seven thirty in the morning. 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.480 I absolutely refused to do that. When I was in radio, 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.520 I just felt like that I and I hated when 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.400 a comedian came in and said, hey, here's set me 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.080 up for this and this. I'm like, that would be funny, 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.240 and like a couple of comedians I really love too 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.120 did that and and it was hard. And I will 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.959 just say, you know, Brian Reagan, somebody I absolutely adore, 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.439 and Reagan like, it took a while for him to 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.280 get used to our show in San Francisco. I did 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.320 at Alice to get used to coming in and just 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.079 hanging out because he was so used to having that 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.160 material fed to him and having things ready. Um, and 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.480 uh yeah, it's just it's a great thing about what 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.960 you're doing right now. Yeah, I love it. So there's 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:36.280 you know a tc we have mostly I'd say, yeah, 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:42.320 comedians and friends, um doing shows together. And also the 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.320 other thing we're doing with comics is they get to 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.440 just do whatever they want to do. I know, John 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.400 Reep and Sarah Tian are funny. What what kind of 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:53.119 show you want to do? So we have Ben Hoffman 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:57.679 or Fahimanmoir people coming in. It's like, you guys are hilarious. 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.680 What do you want to make? So that we just 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.600 let comments do whatever they want? Now starting you know, 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.200 a network and owning it. Uh, do you get a 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.480 thrill for being an entrepreneur because that's you know, what 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.920 you are with this and and and and as a comedian, 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.080 that's your business as well. Uh do you get as 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.240 much a thrill from that? Is? Is doing comedy in 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.000 some ways, I really do. I get to work with 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.440 all my friends, So I captured that second great part 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.560 about comedy, Like I'm getting to hang out with everybody 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.360 I want to hang out with, and so that's definitely 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.920 not going away. And it's the thrill of making something 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.719 and having it be popular. You know, it's say same thing, 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.000 So you do get that same feeling when you're doing 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.479 a bit that works out that people love, where you're 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.800 creating this network that a lot of people listen to. 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:50.520 I mean we're at eighteen million downloads per months. It's 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.520 a which is fantastic and growing and growing and growing. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.640 We're just trying to get that audio out as much 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.320 as possible. We're making short form videos. I like giving 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.720 comics affair shake um and letting them be part of 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.880 owning this company that distributes your content. So yeah, there's 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.840 a tremendous thrill. And like anytime you can create something 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.280 for Scratch and stand there with your hands on their hips, 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.360 you know, your hips in front of the sign um. 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.720 We always talk about me, Bill and their current president, 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:23.880 Mike Fertelina talk about you know, the book moments like 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.240 they're gonna write about this they're gonna write about this 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.439 because you know, we know in ten years from now, 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.679 once you really build this thing up, you're building a 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:36.800 company that has staying power that will be a force 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.320 in TV and film as well as you know, all 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.680 the audio stuff we're putting out. I think it's it's man. 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.640 I love that because I have so many friends and 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.200 comedians who started podcasts over the years who said, how 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:49.960 do I make money? What do I do to do this? 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.400 And do that, and and and and have a place 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.560 for them to go and and be around people that 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.080 they can trust to do with the right you know, 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:04.080 not to feed them a line of bullshit. Uh amazing. Yeah. So, um, 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:10.320 everybody knows that with Bill and myself, we're doing just fine. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.840 So we're we're we don't have a company that needs 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.960 to exist off of their you know, you don't need 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.360 to sort of, um take advantage of them to make money. 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.800 I feel like there's a bunch of companies that I 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.680 won't name, and a lot of them are producing stand 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.520 up specials. They're just sort of set up to take 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.720 advantage of talent. And that's why we started this whole 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:36.320 thing in the first place. I want to talk about 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.600 I'm dying up here, and and just kind of the 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.440 history of of of comments that when you watch that 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.840 and you see interactions that we're kind of getting back 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.760 to what we were talking about earlier, that that that 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.080 part of the comedy world hasn't really changed. What has 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.559 changed the most dramatically, You think what we were talking 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.560 about earlier just the technology that goes along with it, 0:13:55.760 --> 0:14:00.360 just being able to work on material. You know, Chris Swart, 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.080 Rock and I think Seinfeld have complained about this not 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:08.440 too long ago, but it's constantly becoming a bigger problem. 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:12.559 It's just people and phones and tech when you're working 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.680 out new stuff. It used to be that Richard Pryor 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.880 could go up and on Tuesday start a new bit. 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.960 When you work it out and come back on Wednesday, 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.640 and then you come back on Thursday, and then Friday, 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.680 and then by Saturday. He had just a masterful sort 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.440 of thing um with people. Now or you know, somebody 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:37.080 whips out their phone and records you on the Tuesday 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.840 because it looks so great. People were just just listening 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:42.960 to Howard Stern and he was talking about Chris Rock 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:47.800 getting some pore reception off of material that he's trying 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.720 to work stuff out just so. I think that's the 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:56.640 biggest difference is the technology. And I think younger comics 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.920 have this expectation that they're going to be immediately successful 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.280 when they haven't paid their dues. Night School with Kevin 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.840 Hart looks super funny. How much fun is it working 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.320 with Kevin? Yeah? That was a fantastic So this guy, 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.840 I'm sure what you know about Kevin Hart, but you 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.800 may know about his drive. You may know that he's 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.840 absolutely hilarious. He's done sort of what we're trying to do, 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:25.240 and is uh you know, d I y um short 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.360 of stand up. He put out his own movies and 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.640 then he put those movies in the theater and he 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:36.440 does the run with heart. He's raising money. So you 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.600 might think that this guy, you know and you think 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.520 about him his celebrity, you don't. I really had no 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.440 expectations of what is he going to be like. I 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.960 did one quick thing with him. I did some Central 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.520 Intelligence promo with him in the Rock and they were 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:54.760 both hilarious and delightful. But then working with this guy 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.400 every single day, you really got to ask yourself, what 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.560 would Kevin Hart do? And that's work your ass off 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.960 at all times. If I'm ever in bed past six 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:10.600 thirty am, I feel like just a lazy bum because 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.680 you know, he's been up for an hour of working 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:17.280 out and he's just done a million things before ten am. 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.160 He's also hilarious, So on this movie we got to 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:25.320 riff so much and improvised that I just can't wait. 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.200 And he did that. He made up so much funny 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.480 stuff on the spot and gave us complete freedom to 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:37.080 play around. So the cast was Kevin Hart, Roberiggle, Marylyn 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:42.400 Raska very funny comic, and actress Romany Malco Tarren kill 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:46.960 Him from Saturday Night Love and Uh. Then you had 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.520 Tiffany Hattish and the main roles the teacher of this class. 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.400 So he just had tot of this great group of 0:16:53.760 --> 0:17:02.080 people hanging out improvising. It couldn't have been better. Listen, 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.359 I'm gonna let you run in a second. But I 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.920 always end with these three questions, and I'm gonna give 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:09.879 you the first one. This is a dumb question. I 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.320 hope you don't find it too dumb. If you're a 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.399 sandwich personified, what what would it be not like your 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:20.960 favorite like? If you were one what says yeah, that's 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:26.520 a really stupid question, thank you, but yeah, I'll play 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.639 along with it. Uh, probably club. I could see a 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.640 lot of people saying club A club. Say I want 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:40.280 simple yet complex and you know, not necessarily the healthiest 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:47.720 thing you've ever had, but you know with the bacon turkey. Um, yeah, 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.800 I think it's a club sandwich. I think, uh, did 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:52.600 you get that a lot? Though? I feel that I 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.240 get P get P B J a lot? See what 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.320 else do we get? Grilled cheese? Yeah? I never I 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.800 don't think it makes that club before. No, no club, 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.680 you're the first. If you could listen to a podcast 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:06.000 featuring any comedians living or dead, who would you want 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:10.000 to listen to? Well, I just uh, I'm such a 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.399 big shift Hell fan. So I love Dave Chappelle. I 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:18.440 would love to listen to him jiggle podcast and interview 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.639 people because in terms of his take sort of like 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.600 Bill Burr, you know, I feel like you're going to 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.200 get a great take out of Dave. Um, I would 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:32.680 just go to my favorite comics and Dana Gould. Dana 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:36.040 Gould is a podcast you can listen to. So yeah, 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:41.240 I just I'd love to hear Patrese doing a podcast. 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:45.520 Great Giraldo do a podcast, So probably Patrese and Greg 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:49.680 and some sort of back table thing. If I could 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.720 pick anyone, that would be my top one. Patrese and 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.199 Great Giralda. And what was the last podcast that that 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:58.359 you binged? Podcast that I binged? Um go out of 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.879 so many of my own that I need to listen 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:05.920 to that I don't really know. My wife, Yeah exactly, 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.520 I don't. I listen to all all things comedy podcasts 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.680 all the time. We um, me and my wife listen 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:18.359 to show podcasts, so we're very into television. So recently, 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.560 you know, and it's just through her, we were listening 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:28.240 to some thor podcasts, um and then it's all TV 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:32.200 related stuff. So we'll listen to a Stranger Things podcast, 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.360 West World podcast, Game of Thrones podcast. So it's all 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.600 sort of TV companion podcasts what we listened to. And 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:42.640 one quickly than that, magical home one quick bonus is there? 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:44.879 Speaking of bad TV, is there something that makes you 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.639 laugh at home that maybe you wouldn't want people to 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:51.440 know about that you'd be shamed of, ashamed of? Oh um, 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:57.040 we have a sort of running joke in our family 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.320 where it's like guilty pleasure of music, but I would 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.600 be ashamed of people doing. But it is just something 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:04.360 that totally makes us laugh here because I have two 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:10.600 kids my wife, I play Counting Crows Mr Jones uh 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.560 at randomly and then we have a well this is 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:18.240 not so embarrassing, but my kids when we have to 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.320 relate somewhere and start playing driving music for me, like 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:24.280 sort of baby driver type of thing. So immediately the 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:30.119 bluetooth and I drive to Eye the Tiger with my 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.280 family in the car. On a regular basis, it's a 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:36.000 good image to go out on for sure. Yes, how 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:44.600 thanks for coming on, Sure, thanks for having Matt. All Right, 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.200 it's time for everybody's favorite part of the show, where 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:51.000 my producer Z comes in and we talk about three 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:53.800 podcasts that you should be listening to. First, I want 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.040 to know, Z, how was that interview? I always wonder 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:00.960 somebody like al who I really love and respect. I'm like, 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.560 I have that still have that? Do you think he 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:05.560 liked me kind of thing going on? Yeah? I think so. 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:09.000 I think there you guys had this bond of like 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.560 no like working with comedians and stuff like that, and 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:13.479 I think you guys got really comfortable with each other. 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.040 And it flowed. Well, isn't it horrible working with me? 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:18.800 Because I'm constantly at the end of every interview going, 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:20.800 that's the worst. I just just terrible. I don't know 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.639 we should air It's all good. I'm gonna say this. 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:27.680 If you're new to podcasting or to broadcasting and you're 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:29.800 you're you're wondering if you ever get over that feeling, 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:33.000 the answer is no, you will never get over that feeling. 0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:37.000 It makes you care more, absolutely. And I think everybody 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:39.480 I know who's successful in this business, and I'm not 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:42.679 putting myself in the same classes those people have that 0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:45.080 little have that thing where they always think they're not 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:51.280 doing good enough. Therapists and I have talked all about it. Anyway, 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:55.560 Let's talk about funny stuff because today's topic is comedy, 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:57.760 and of course you can find lots of comedy in 0:21:57.800 --> 0:21:59.520 the comedy section of the Heart Radio app But you 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:02.400 picked up three that you want. So my first one 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:06.280 is two Dope Queens. Dope. Yeah, they're amazing. So it's 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:10.399 comedians Phoebe Robinson and Jessica Williams. And Jessica Williams is 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.560 from The Daily Show. For people who want someone to 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.800 recognize and they bring their favorite comedians onto their show. 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:20.359 It's usually live, and they talked about stories about romance, race, 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:23.520 living in New York. And I like it because I 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:25.760 feel like I'm at a sleepover with them and it's 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.720
