You know, my my grandmother still called me carrat Top. 13 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: It was odd, but yes, mostly my friends. She say 14 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: this is my grandson, Cara Top, and I'd say it's 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: it's Scott's grandma. Never she never, she never got past that. 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, most most people friendly people. I know I'm 17 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: with Scott. 18 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: Yes, they do. 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, it used to be, you know, being in 20 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: the before the internet was I would say Scott on 21 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: the streak. You'd be like, oh, they must know me, 22 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: they must be friends. And now it's like, oh they 23 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: looked yuh kind of things. 24 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 2: Oh that's so funny. Right, Okay, So do you like 25 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: that the name carrat Tops stuck or is it like 26 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: has it been a blessing? 27 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: Yeah? Like a blessing and a curse. I mean, yeah, 28 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 1: because I could have had Queen Latifa, but I missed 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: that opportunity, so I yeah, I know. I mean it's 30 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: been my blessing. It works fine for me. I feel 31 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: kind of you know, I've had it so long now 32 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: the monikers, so I don't quite think anything different, Like 33 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: if I had a choice to do it better, cooler 34 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: one would I. I don't know. But the carrot top's good. 35 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: Everybody brings me, you know, everyone with carrots, you know, 36 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: you know, just having Easter like dinner. I had to 37 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: bring a carrot cake and I said, I get it. 38 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is your holiday.

I didn't even think of that. Okay, wow, 42 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: I didn't either. 43 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: So they brought the cake and I said, oh, another 44 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: caro cake? Thank you? Said like it's funny, right, yeah, 45 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: it's hilarious. 46 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, it's not that original. That's funny. Well, first 47 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: of all, where do you live? You live in Vegas 48 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: or you just go there for your I work. 49 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: In Vegas and I have a house in Florida, so 50 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: I go back and forth. But I'm mostly of my 51 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: time is spent in Vegas because I work, you know, 52 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: six nights a week, so most of the time is 53 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: spent here in Vegas. But then on my holidays I 54 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: go to Florida. 55 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: It's funny because I just I was talking to Flavor, 56 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: Flavor of all people who lives in Vegas, and I 57 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: was thinking, now, do you see a lot of people 58 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: you know in Vegas? Is it like a different version 59 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 2: of la where you're just seeing like famous people. 60 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: I know Flavor real well, he's always had the show, 61 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: he comes out, he hangs out. I always see him around. Yeah, 62 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: we kind of you know, there's a little camaraderie among 63 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: Vegas people. You know, I gotta get a bite to 64 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: eat with Chris Angel or David Coppfield or whatnot. 65 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: But there is a whole world though, there's like a 66 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: like a like a subculture there of just like all 67 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: these like a. 68 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: Little bit of culture here. I mean not not not 69 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: tremendous amounts, but you know, the Vegas community is cool 70 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: and when everyone knows each other. It's a small town, 71 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: especially all the entertainers, you know, we all know each other. 72 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: So it's just fun. 73 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 2: And you've been doing this for seventeen years in Vegas, 74 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: this gig, like, how have you thought of stopping? Does it? 75 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: Does it? Does it keep evolving? Like what's that experience? 76 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 3: Like? 77 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, the evolution is really the key to the whole show. 78 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: I mean, and it's been that's only eighteen at the Luxe. 79 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: Or prior to that, there was teneth the Mgum Grand 80 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: and Wanted Ballet, so almost thirty almost thirty years in Vegas. 81 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: But yeah, the show is definitely it's more fit. Seems 82 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: to be more fun now for me than everyone was prior, 83 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: just because they you know, I asked George Carnand this 84 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: one time, I said, you know, what's it like to 85 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: you know, finally get it, you know, to get it? 86 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: And he said get what I said? You know, you know, 87 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: you got your job, you got what you're doing. You 88 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: get up there now it's more fun And he said, 89 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: I ain't got nothing. I'm always working. And I that 90 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: was a question I asked in like twenty years ago, 91 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: and I he's right, I mean I don't. I mean, 92 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: I think I got the stage thing down more. But 93 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: the idea of keeping the show fresh and keeping it 94 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: going for all these years, more and more you got 95 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: to evolve and make you know, new jokes, new contents. 96 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: Always in reinventing yourself in the show, and I do 97 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: it nightly. 98 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: Like challenging yourself, you have to feel a little bit 99 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 2: of pain and like be a little free. 100 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely absolutely, I change it almost every night. Almost 101 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: every night there's one even if it's one joke or 102 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: one reference or one you know, when I'm talking about 103 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: Tyson getting in the ring, when anything topical, it immediately 104 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: goes into the show. 105 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: Interesting because you could coast because it's not the same people. 106 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,799 Speaker 2: But as an artist, I want to like challenge yourself 107 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: and just like do it differently. I've always found that interesting. 108 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 2: I did stand up comedy one night in New York 109 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: City at the New York Comedy Club, and I've always 110 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: found it interesting that a comedian will go, you know, 111 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: downstairs at the comedy seller and do with the act 112 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: and then go upstairs next door, and it sought sort 113 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 2: of sounds like the same act. And I've always wondered 114 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: if anybody feels, I don't know, not like like a 115 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 2: fraudulents about it. For example, you'll hear like Amy Schumer's 116 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: on the Tonight Show and she's saying something and you 117 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: but you just happen to have seen her show and 118 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: it sounds like it's new when she's saying it to him, 119 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 2: like it's something she just thought of, right, But so like, 120 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 2: does anyone feel like Emperor has no close ish about 121 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: that experience, because for me, I would feel weird. I 122 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: feel weird when someone I'm sitting with hear me tell 123 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: the same story to two people and it's not even 124 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: like you know what I'm saying. 125 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and that comes. That does happen with comedy 126 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: a lot. And that's why I think the process of 127 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: them writing and keeping the show current fresh is one. 128 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: That's one way to do it. And secondly, when I 129 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: do shows like The Tonight Show and whatever shows now exist, 130 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, when I would do them, I couldn't do 131 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: repeat stuff that I had already done in the show prior. 132 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: So that was always a challenge too. It's supposed to 133 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: something like me that did a lot of television, so 134 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: I would always have to churn out news stuff because 135 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: when they called, they said, you know, you want to 136 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: do a set. I can't do the same set. So 137 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: that would force me. 138 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: Oh wow, they want exclusive content, that's a thing they 139 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 2: asked what they want exclusive on? 140 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: Their particular show. If I had done it on Jay Leno, 141 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: they said, we just saw you do it on Jay. 142 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: We don't want you to sorry, not in Jay. It 143 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 1: wouldn't it wouldn't matter if you didn't get just their show. 144 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: They didn't want to come back because I do this 145 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: show a lot, so what they want to do. So 146 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: but even my show here, like last night, I had 147 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: a wonderful crowd. I got done and some people folks 148 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: came back and they had seen the show exactly a 149 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: year ago because it was her birthday. And she said, 150 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: oh my god, the show has changed so much, like 151 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: it changed so much, it is so much new. And 152 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: I thought, that's the favorite thing to hear, you know 153 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: from an audience members that want it's good and you 154 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: to be good. But but you know that there is 155 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: a lot of change and that people love that, like, 156 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: well almost the whole show is new, like so they 157 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: can and it's still good. 158 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 2: It's good then, it's good now it's good different. 159 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: Right, So it wouldn't And she even said it wouldn't 160 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: have been like even if you had done the same 161 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: show I'd seen, it would have been funny. But and 162 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: you Shure goes by sofa, I wouldn't have remembered it. 163 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: So there's popped ups and downs of that too. I 164 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: mean a lot of times show would moves fast, so 165 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: they don't have time to remember. I don't even remember 166 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: what beck I've done sometimes. 167 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: Now, question because we're talking about like people who get 168 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 2: Imposta or Emperor. Do you like think about if you 169 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 2: think you're funny? Is it more of like a honed craft? 170 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: Like are some people just funny on stage but they're 171 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 2: not actually funny? Like what determines in your mind who 172 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: you think is funny? Is it different? Is it all 173 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: different styles? Because I know that I was reading that 174 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: like your stereotypical style what people would say of yours 175 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: is that you use props or like Kevin Neilan tells 176 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: one long story or Jerry steinfeldt aggravated. Like, so what 177 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: determines if someone's really funny? Because I've met stand ups 178 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 2: that don't seem funny. 179 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what I mean, I know a lot 180 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: of them that aren't. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, 181 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: it definitely comes down to I don't know that I 182 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: have friends in the business that I have been doing 183 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: for a long time, and I'm always dumbfounded. I don't 184 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: necessarily find them phony, but the crowd must, the people 185 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: that book them must. I find things differently funny. And 186 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: you mentioned the styles of comedy, like when my show 187 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: is completely different than any than any of the comic 188 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: so so if you see my showing, and I addressed 189 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: it in the show, I said, people talk about who 190 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: influenced me, and I said this is a good question 191 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: because I have a weird show. And everybody laughed, and 192 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: I said, who do you think influenced me? And I 193 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: and I say certain names. They first I'll say Richard Pryor, 194 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: and then I would say similar, right, and that gets 195 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: a laugh because my show is not similar to Richard 196 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: Pryor's at all. And then I say George carl and 197 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: then they starts. I said that George Carlin was you know, 198 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: if you break down my show, it's like almost exactly 199 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: George Carlin, except because I don't do all props. I 200 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: do a lot of stand up and the stories that 201 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: he would say or it's kind of like how I 202 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: wanted to write when I got into comedy. I wanted 203 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: to be be like George Carlin. He was clever and 204 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: he was observational, and he had these jokes. Now last night, funny, 205 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: you should mention. I came home from work and I 206 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: had my Instagram and I don't know, it's on a 207 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: I didn't follow it. It was on a feed and 208 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: it came up on Stephen Wright. Stephen Wright is another 209 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: one of these guys who when you talk about different 210 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: in styles, you know, some people think, you know, is 211 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: he funny? And that's really I know, and that's really 212 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: his his his stock, but he is so his his 213 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: his delivery style. He said something like that won't give 214 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: it justice, but he said he started by saying, it's 215 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: a wonder a wonderful evening, What a wonderful night for 216 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: an evening, you know, to pause, and he says, I was. 217 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: I was hitchhiking one day and a hurst stopped and 218 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: everyone kind of pauses, and he says, no, thanks pal, 219 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm not going that far. Like it's just brilliant. 220 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: It's like brilliant said, it's subtle and quiet can be subtle. 221 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: And he's my generation too. 222 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: Ran it would work for him him and for his style. 223 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: But if I try, you know, tried doing that and 224 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: epic fail. So you know, I've got a style of speed. 225 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: About my show that like he does. He has a 226 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: style of speed, or as I was called a cadence. 227 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: Everybody has a cadence. Seinfeld Seinfeld has a great cadence. 228 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: And then you know it's and it's how, it's how, 229 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: you know how other comics how they write jokes.

But there's definitely more stand up than 290 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: there than there is props oriented, but there's an energy 291 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: and there's no stylisis, So there's a lot there's a 292 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: lot of there's a lot of the big screen like 293 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: I spoke about with the thing, it's a lot of 294 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: that for a punchline as opposed to me holding up 295 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: a prop.

It's great. I mean, 357 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: David Spade and I sitting here at lunch would be 358 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: would be phenomenal and we would and I would probably 359 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: come up with ten minutes of material for the show. 360 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: Just been funny and nice guy too, So. 361 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 2: Totally I agree.

Yeah. No one 370 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: cuts up jokes and tries to do their bit, that's 371 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: for sure, or we don't hang out those guys. So, 372 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: I mean, someone like David Spader, Brad Gerett, you know, 373 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: they're pros.

When I was going up to 392 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 2: do stand up, I was wise enough to text the 393 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 2: or call the different comedians that I've met or know, 394 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 2: and some of them I'm not like best friends with them. 395 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: And I know Kevin Neil and we know each other 396 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 2: for sure, but like we don't speak every day. And 397 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 2: someone like him or Whitney or Kathy Griffin or whatever, 398 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: a bunch of people. I just asked everyone for their advice, 399 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: like what would be advice you would give. Ellen said 400 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 2: to be funny, which I thought was really amazing and helpful, 401 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 2: But everybody gave me like a different sort of set 402 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 2: of rules. Chris Rocks jumps off the page because he said, 403 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 2: make sure to have a beginning and an ending and 404 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 2: the rest is just the flow. And he said it's 405 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 2: an intimate sort of experience or sport, and to not 406 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 2: bring a lot of people, which did it. I was 407 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: attracted to. But Kathy Griffin was like, bring as many 408 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 2: people as are going to make you feel good. And 409 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: someone said use the microphone as a prop. Someone else 410 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: said take away the stand like they were just things 411 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: that I could then crowdsourcer, and then I end up 412 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 2: deciding what I'm going to do. So even if someone's 413 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 2: going to be at a wedding and they want to 414 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 2: get up and give a non shitty toast, Like if 415 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: I had called you, what would you have told me 416 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: I'm going to do five minutes at the New York 417 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: Comedy Club And what would have been like tenants that 418 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 2: you would have said to me, Well, a. 419 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: Lot of those would have been accurate. I would have said, well, first, 420 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: if you've never done it before, I would I would say, 421 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: go to a stage somewhere and pretend one or once 422 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: or twice and just kind of get the feeling of 423 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: going up there and doing exactly what they said. You know, 424 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: there's I'm lucky, I'm I move around, so I don't. 425 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: I don't hold the microphone. Never have I have a 426 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: love because I'm okay, thanks. So I would figure out 427 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: what's more comfortable first with the mic stand behind it, 428 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: holding it, or take the mic stand and put a 429 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: part and just hold the mic and reference them. You 430 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: know the mics. I know a lot of comics that do. 431 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: They they rest their arm under or they use it 432 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: as a prop, you know, and they're driving the car 433 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: and it's a stick shift or whatever they happen to be. 434 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: That's the trump. Let's find Edw's vice president and I 435 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: pull the thing. But Chris rock is right on point 436 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: about beginning and end. That's that's the most important thing. 437 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: You got to get the beginning down, because you've got 438 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: to get the crowd right away and then you can 439 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: and have fun with them, and then you got to 440 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: get the way to get the hell out of there 441 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: and and be that was called your closer. You have 442 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: to have a good closer, so yeah, and and find 443 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: out what it is that you're you specifically want to 444 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: talk about in that ten minutes, because a lot if 445 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: comics are all over the place and there they go 446 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: up and they say, hey, I'm you know, I'm single 447 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: and whenever I'm married to a guy and that, and 448 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: then it's funny and then they go when they start 449 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: talking about something. I don't know. I like a theme thing, yeah, 450 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: non sec So I like a little bit for me, 451 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: if it was a short amount of time, it would 452 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: be a theme. Like my first gift bit I ever did, 453 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: ever was the whole bit. It was ten minutes, was 454 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: about stealing road signs, and so I will open up 455 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: with a sign and then it was almost like a show. 456 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: I just kept doing different road signs until I got done. 457 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: And that was the That was the whole bit. But uh, 458 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: and then the next time grew on it, I said, 459 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: now it'll be stealing signs and other objects. So I said, 460 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: now they did the signs, Hey how about this bank tube? 461 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my god, you're stealing bank 462 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: tube and you know the airline oxygen mask on the plane. 463 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: So it came up with My whole show is kind 464 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: of like thievery but funny, like funny things to do 465 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: with stone, stuff that you'd think. So so, I don't know. 466 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: It just depends on what the style of comedy. 467 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 2: Is and and and you're saying, it could be as 468 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 2: niche as possible. You're standing at a wedding for three minute. 469 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: It could be as niche as possible, as long as 470 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 2: you just connect whatever that thread is back to whatever 471 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 2: you're talking. 472 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and it could be it could be a 473 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: plan words, you know, you know, married to married to 474 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying, oh, married to Uh, you're single and married 475 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 1: to a guy you might like to make any sense, 476 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: you could do those kind of things where people like 477 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: like Kevin neal and Ish he's great. Yeah, but it's 478 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: Kevin's a brilliant comic and he's just funny. He's just funny, 479 00:21:59,320 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: you know, He's. 480 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 2: Just some people just have their essence is funny, right, 481 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: you just hold them. 482 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: We hope the MIC's funny, and you'll say, yeah, I 483 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: just went to just hurt my knee playing basketball, not 484 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: pro you know, and it's just funny, right. 485 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 2: That's the essence of sonic. I guess it entails a 486 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 2: lot of just the confidence in your own skin of standing. 487 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: There absolutely confidence, And I would say to young comics 488 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: years of practice. I know it sounds an odd thing, 489 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: but like when young comics said, you know, I'm gonna 490 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: do comedy, and they said, what do you advice? I see, 491 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,479 Speaker 1: find a stage time somewhere, like whether it's I mean, 492 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: I worked in strip clubs, I worked in restaurants, I 493 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: worked anywhere. So just find a place that will allow 494 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: you to get on stage and work out your craft. 495 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: Work out what you're going to do.

Growing up back then was George Carlin, Richard Pryor 508 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: of course all the comics that worked on the Tonight 509 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: show from Steve Martin to you know, Gary Shandling. My god, 510 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: he was funny, but so many and Stephen Wright. You know, 511 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: there's just so many comics that I would and what 512 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: I liked about him too and was that they all 513 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: really be. All the ones, you know, are all different, 514 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: their style, what they talk about. You know. Then you 515 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: get a Bill Maher who talks Bill Maher talks politics. 516 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: But that's what makes him so different because you go 517 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: see Bill Marry and you know he's gonna talk about that, 518 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: and he's brilliantly smart about it. And then you go 519 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: see you know, Howie and how he's just more goofy. 520 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,719 Speaker 1: And then you go see Carly and he's smart and angry, 521 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: and you know, Jim Gaffigan is just goofy. So it's 522 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,239 Speaker 1: it's that's like it's like any kind of form of art, 523 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: whether it be music or rock and roll. That's what 524 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: makes it fun is the uniqueness of each act. You know, 525 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: you can go to a comedy club and see twenty 526 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 1: different comedies and they're all going to be different, all different, 527 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: you hope. 528 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 2: Yo, do you find the threat of cancelation that it's 529 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: debilitating to have to even think about what you're going 530 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 2: to say in this freedom not at all. 531 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: No, you know, in some comics fight would agree with me. 532 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: I've never written anything that wasn't or performing that was 533 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: going to be in that category that makes sense, Like 534 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: everything you're not risk. 535 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 2: It's not risky. Just that's not what you're talking about. 536 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 2: That's just not who you are, right, I've never. 537 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: Been the old risky guy, joke guy. Now there's comics 538 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: right now they're like, oh crap, Yeah, they can't write 539 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 1: anything anymore. Probably they like their whole act is gone. 540 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: They can't do it because that's how they wrote. I 541 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: have things that are on the cusp of people. I 542 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: mean I some of them are not in the show anymore. 543 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: But I go back into my warehouse and I think, 544 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: oh my god, not only was this a great joke 545 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: and it killed for you, but I wonder if that 546 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: would be considered okay now, Like it was funny then, 547 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: and I did it on like Regis and Kathy Leave, 548 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: and of course it was like pe it was PG clean, 549 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: but now would it be h So I never really 550 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: wrote jokes anyhow that we're gonna be that way. I've 551 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: always tried to just keep it silly. Fun No, no, 552 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: very politics, very light. And the only thing I do 553 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: is is a horrible Trump impression. So it's what makes 554 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: it funny because it's just so bad. It's bad that 555 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: people the more I do it, the more they'll and 556 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: I just pick a word and I just say, you 557 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: know I made that.

It makes me sixty five 662 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: when I get done with the contract. We just had 663 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: a thing less time, I mean, and it's like would 664 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: you sign again? I said, I don't know. I'm not 665 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: there yet, Like you know, five years ago, when they 666 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: asked me, I said, I'm not resigning when I turned fifty, 667 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: I was gonna say fifty five, I was gonna not quit, 668 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: but I was gonna slow down, like to speed them. 669 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 2: It's pretty amazing that at fifty nine you have a 670 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 2: contract till sixty five. Like I have to say, like, 671 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 2: it's pretty that's pretty awesome. 672 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: In frightening yeah yeah, but uh yeah, it's uh it's 673 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: it's like Buddy Hackett, another great comic. I met him 674 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: years and years ago and he was at the airport 675 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: and I said, oh my god, I will bother you, 676 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: but like Buddy Hackett, you know, like genius, right, And 677 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: he said, uh, hey kid, you know carettop. But he 678 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: was I don't know if he any think he knew 679 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: who I was. But he said, uh, I'm gonna give 680 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: you some advice and I said, oh please, I would 681 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: love that. So he took a nap in the lounge 682 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: at the airport and he wrote down the key to 683 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: the Treasure is the treasure, and he gave it to 684 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: me and I got on the plane. I was like, 685 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: what is he drunk? And my friend said, what are 686 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: you right? And I said, the key to the treasure 687 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: is the treasure. And then my friend said oh no, actually, 688 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: that's pretty profound. Try to figure out what that means. 689 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: And I said, what do you means? He said, we'll 690 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: break it down. I think I figured out. So I 691 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: kept looking at it, and I said, I guess it's 692 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: just so generalized. But the key to the treasure like 693 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: the key to light, the key to what you're you want, 694 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: key to what you're holding is what you're holding. 695 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 2: So I looked at like, oh, the journey. It's about 696 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 2: the journey, not the destination, is. 697 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, the key to the journey is the journey. 698 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: And that's exactly how I took it. So I said, oh, oh, 699 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: that's actually pretty cool. I enjoyed what you're doing right now. 700 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: You're doing you're doing this. You you started doing this 701 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: when you're like eighteen years old, and you're you actually 702 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: you're doing what you wanted to. You're doing it. You 703 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: pulled it off right, enjoying it. So that's what I 704 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: try to figure every night when I go on stage. 705 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: I try to put on course. Every comic says that, 706 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: but not I know a call out of comics, dunt 707 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: or entertainers for that matter. I'm very like, every show 708 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,239 Speaker 1: is the first time you've done it kind of thing. 709 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: And the audience is savvy. They'll see through it. They 710 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: know when you get up there and you're like last night, 711 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: like having fun and really like the good, good girl 712 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: in front of game me this beautiful carrot, diamond encrusted carrot, 713 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: my logo and diamond crusted. It was beautiful. So I 714 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: was a look at this. Look my fans did like 715 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: how in the crowd was like, oh my god. You know, 716 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: but if I had gotten that, I mean tossed it 717 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: and said thanks for my fucking you know, you do 718 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 1: very great. I mean really like wow, it took hours 719 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: to make, you know, and it gives you a little 720 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: little light, a little bit of fun, and you look 721 00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: out there and people are you know, some people the 722 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: audience something else I learned about. You know, people could 723 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: be going through really bad stuff. And that sounds like 724 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: cliche and whatever, but I so many times I've come 725 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: off stage and someone said, you know, I lost my 726 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: dad today. Yeah, and I didn't know what to do. 727 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: So I figured I'd go see you because you would 728 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: make me laugh and I'm like wow, And a lot 729 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: a lot of times that happens, or they just was 730 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: two weeks before of them show. There's a meat great 731 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: And this lady said, we're all there, and she said, 732 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: should we tell you?

She was, well, she's no longer with us, 737 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: and the reason we came is because of her that night, 738 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: and you know, so we're here to celebrate her. And 739 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, it's nice to know that because you 740 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: get out there, you kind of think of that when 741 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: you're when you're doing it, like make it special, you. 742 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 2: Know, individual moments of meaning. I was doing this appearance 743 00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 2: in Australia and in Melbourne a woman came up and 744 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 2: she couldn't keep it together and she was crying and 745 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 2: she had had a neurological issue and vertigo and all 746 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 2: these things. She hadn't been able to leave for two years. 747 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 2: And she's a massive fan. And she said that she 748 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 2: wanted to get to New York at some point to 749 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 2: see me when I had been speaking, but she felt 750 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 2: that me coming to Australia was New York coming to her, 751 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 2: and she hadn't left her house for two years, like 752 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 2: and to take be present, to take that moment. And 753 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 2: I ended up putting together a whole gift getting asking 754 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 2: to get her information. She thought that she'd obviously never 755 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 2: hear from me, and sent her this gift the next day, 756 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 2: and like she posted about it and she couldn't believe it, 757 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 2: and like different things, like I was at a restaurant 758 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 2: last week and these two girls came up and the 759 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 2: security person.

Like 764 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,720 Speaker 2: I'll obsess over something so strange like that, like someone 765 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 2: comes up your mid bite, You're like, do you mind 766 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 2: if we just wait till I finished, you know, eating, 767 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 2: and then you don't see them again, And then I 768 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 2: feel bad that, like I should have just been like 769 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 2: mid brock bite and taking a picture, even though it's 770 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 2: fair to want to finish your meal.

I would love you to be there. 788 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's fun just because the live show 789 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: is so different than what people see on TV, which 790 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,959 Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's not good or bad. It's just best. 791 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,800 Speaker 1: The number one comment like, man, I've always seen you 792 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: and never seen you live. Well, I believed it's like 793 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: an edge to it. It's a good energy. 794 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 2: Because sometimes you have to be what they hire you 795 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 2: to be, which is right. They want you to be 796 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 2: what the people want you to be. 797 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, they mean every show would never let me do 798 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: stand up? I mean never, right, I said, wouldn't that 799 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: be funny? Jay, after all the years of doing that? 800 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: Wouldn't really? Jane, I had no problem with it. It 801 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: was the producer. That's the producer. I said, you know, 802 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: I'd done this time. I show like thirty five times, 803 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: and I said, I'm always on and I come out 804 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: with my box. What if I came out and I 805 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: have the box, I've done it, I don't but I 806 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: don't open it, and the crowds like like waiting, and 807 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: I'm just doing all my stand up and then's the 808 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: last one. I go to pick it and I just 809 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: shut the box and I go, all right, we'll see it. 810 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: And it was going to be so called. Jane loved 811 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,320 Speaker 1: the idea, but the producers like, well, you know, I 812 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: think they want to see the prompts. I go, the stories. 813 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: You're going to be just as good as the props. 814 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm telling you. 815 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 2: But right, like I grew up with that.
