But then we 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:28.280 we performed. 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.880 We tried to do it well. We did a show 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:32.399 like we used to at the Duplex. 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.639 Where's Christopher Street and Sheridan Square on the West Village, 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:37.319 West Village. 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.199 Okay, is that is that a gay club? It is? Yeah, 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.360 it's like a cabaret club. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:47.440 And it would be like cabaret shows. It would be downstairs, downstairs, 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.560 and it would be drag shows like every day of 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.440 the week, and you would have work tonight. 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.680 Did you ever work in drag just to get an 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:56.280 extra night? No, nobody. 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.840 I think that they took us. They were the only 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:00.280 club in New York that would take it. This is 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.640 the first part we ever performed in right, And I 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.960 think they took us because it was a bunch of 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.120 us guys went in there to like see if we 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:08.520 could get in there. I think they thought we were 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.200 a gay sketch group, right, And so they took us 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.520 and they gave us what three mondays? Yeah, yeah, one 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.760 day night terrible and uh but we were twenty one 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.040 and that first show all of our recently graduated college and. 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:24.000 What year was this?

Yeah on 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.320 eighty seconds, Well, no eighty seconds, so on second Avenue, 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.840 I think at eighty seconds, but it's around that. It's 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.639 a sort of you know, yeah, all mixed together. Let 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.120 me used to haunt to that area. You grew up there, right, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.600 I grew up on East eighty six. Yeah, yeah, all right, 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.639 that must have been tough. Well the only way to school, 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.560 like Dorman could attack you, instell the people.

What I don't appreciate 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:02.720 is that you're already on his side. 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.760 I'm not on his side. I just happened to know 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.760 that neighbor I live in that neighborhood. You live there now, Yeah, 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.880 and it's a rough and tumble neighborhood, New York city 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:13.320 has changed a lot to golf the side. Do you 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.200 know what it used to be called? But still is 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:19.640 Yorkville now Yorkville doll that come on, now you're going 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.560 to far that's just that's just hartful. 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.120 Yeah, but true, you know no, not dork fell well, 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.240 but that was also farther east right, that's whether on 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:29.639 the river. 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.679 You know where Daniel d Lewis in that movie.

Yeah, but 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.480 that was it was still a good neighborhood when that 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:44.000 movie was set. Sure there was farmland, yes you did 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.880 you ever? Do you ever watch that movie?

That's a 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.360 different game. Yeah. But's juice, b all that stuff. That's 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.320 that's real. Yeah, that's it's the improv muscle. You know. 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.000 We don't have that muscle. But we did. 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.680 We did a like a very basic and we were 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:08.880 performing for for an audience. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:10.320 We did like the mad. 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:14.400 Libs version that is funny, where like you tell the 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.560 story and then you're like and then I went and 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.800 I saw him behind the and somebody's like dairy queen, 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:20.680 and then like you started improvising. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.520 About you know, dairy queen being behind the dairy queens. Yeah, 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.880 so let's so let's say you're in So let's say 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.440 you're in a gay club in the West Village and 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.719 someone shouts dairy queen. So what do you what do 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.520 you do? Because you don't wanna, you don't want to 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.480 be offensive, but at the same time, you can't run 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:36.960 away from the improv So. 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.040 I think you have to start milking, milking, milking, milking dicks. 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:42.960 Right, we went too far? I did? You went too far? 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.200 See you said, dick, it was too far? 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:45.520 Is that? 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.080 I mean? I know that this is a wholesome podcast. 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.520 Well I don't know if that's necessarily true. Well it 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.400 should start wholesom, right, because it's about joy. Well joy 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.960 in the sense that it's you know, you just need it. 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:02.200 You don't need to overform these things always like people say, Okay, 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:07.440 my my podcast is the five five things that you've 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.159 used to clip your nails over the years. You just 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.880 need to lose umbrella. Yeah, it's nice, joy. I mean, 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.640 it's like like like an Almald Joy.

Well, 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.479 speaking of Nut and Joy, I enjoy saying the word dick. 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.320 Oh okay, well that seems fair enough. I don't want 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:27.479 to get in the way of that. But I don't 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.200 want to. I don't want to abuse that. I don't 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.919 want I want to keep it clean. Yeah, I think that. 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:32.560 You know, you lose a lot of people when you 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.680 start with do you guys ever like cause you don't work, 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.920 you still work live? We haven't done a live show 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.080 in five years. Say, you guys are really kind of 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.520 like you work for the corporate we do. We work 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.520 for you know, the big companies. 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.719 Now yeah, no, but since we had this TV show 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.520 to calm AFT, we hadn't done that's the last time. 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:54.400 I think twenty nineteen it was the last live show 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:54.640 we did. 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.120 We did live shows to promote to com AFT. Yeah. Yeah, 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:58.960 but since then we just haven't on the road. That's 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:03.440 still going to cool AFT. Uh No, well no, probably not. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.520 Yeah, we got we were on this this joke network, 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.800 True TV. Have you heard that network? I heard it 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.040 and they've kind of fallen apart a little bit. But 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.400 then the show moved over to Netflix. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.520 Like a month ago.

Actor like I have a feeling actor. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.679 That was really good, though, the only thing is that's 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.559 all I can do. I can't do like two sentences, 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.720 that's fine, but just one. 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.520 I can do like half a sentence of Morgan Freeman 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:57.640 from Shawshank Redemption. 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:01.760 Oh, let's hear it now. And they said, oh, that's 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.240 not bad, that's all right. I can't do one. They 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:12.000 do free and they do free and do free. I'll 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.760 see you in Mexico. No, I don't know, you got it. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:19.360 I think you got see I shouldn't have. The first 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.079 one was good. Yeah, the first one was great. We 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.960 were all like, Okay, it's happened now. I was talking 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.280 to Kevin Bacon because he was doing this serious show 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.240 and he said that the car I can't remember. I 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.120 think it was Amazon or something that was on. They 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.600 were making him do all this social media stuff at 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.560 the time. So it's like he's like a serious scene, 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.160 but he had he has to do it in real time. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.320 So he's tweeting that, oh yeah, that day it was 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.720 really cold and I we had you know, everyone was 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.400 snuggled in their trailer. And he's like, my whole job 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.760 is to try and get people to believe I'm somebody else, 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.200 and then on the other side of the corner, trying 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.240 to get me believe that I'm Kevin Bacon playing dress 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.520 up with my friends, which of course that's that's what 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:59.400 acting is. But so I agree with him, you should. 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.240 It's it ruins the fourth wall, I guess. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.240 I guess, but I think comedy is a little different. 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.280 And also our job has always or the thing we've 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.480 always done, is create worlds and environments where it's a 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.920 bunch of guys hanging out having a good time. Yeah, 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:15.839 and the audience you want them to be a part 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.199 of that audio crowd. I feel like they're hanging out 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.280 with you, and so I think that that that's why 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.840 these companion things seem to work well for us, because 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.400 then it makes pop feel like they're hanging out with you. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:26.960 Well, the first one I wanted. That's what I like 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.280 about broken lizzards. I always want to like, I feel 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:30.800 like I'm hanging out with you and I and I 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:32.839 feel like, not only am I hanging out you, I'm 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.640 slightly bare than you guys, Like I'm not going to 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.280 fuck up as much as you guys are, which I 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.000 think is the appeal of the joy going to make 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:41.800 the bad choices. You're going to make the bad choices. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.800 I'm going to get okay, guys, I'm going home though. 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.800 Yeah, I'll remind you of a story that I'm pretty 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.559 sure we told the last time we saw you. Was 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.400 that when we were at the Kevin and I were 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.360 doing a live show at the Montreal Comedy Festival. 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.880 Just for last I'm familiar, Yeah, And we had worked 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.840 out this increase like eight or nine years ago. Yeah, 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.000 there's pre to coom after. Yeah. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.360 Yeah, we worked out a terrific routine where he was 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:04.880 going to come out and say hello to the audience, 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.720 and I was going to say it in French. Oh nice, 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.040 And we had a nice little bit worked out. But 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.560 before that, we went over to the International House of 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.880 Comedy which you were hosting, and you and Eddie Izzard 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.320 came out and did like the best version of it, 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:21.720 like he is the exactly the same. 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.600 Well Eddie speaks French. I don't exactly well, you know 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.120 what Eddie was doing. So I found it later on. 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.240 He was fucking with me, like I was saying, so 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:29.600 I don't know if you guys speak French. I was 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.640 saying stuff, and then he was saying whatever he wanted 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.240 in French, right to the French Canadian. Seems like that 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.280 was this guy is idea. See, I don't know why 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.000 I have to do this. It's a contracted obligation and 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.880 I'm like, good evening everyone, and welcome to He was 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:44.760 just being a dick to me.
