5
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,680

00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 4: I swear I didn't, like really know what to do.

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 4: I felt like pretty like emasculated. I was like, how

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 4: do I help? And I went to the kitchen and

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 4: I made two lemonades. That's helpful, that's very housewife.

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: So Chris was saying during the song, he and his

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: family with the mother of his children, his girlfriend and

17

Speaker 2: three children. By the way, yes they move every two years.

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: Would I would stick a fork in my eyeballified why

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: she's very mad at me for constantly moving. But then

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: you know what it is. I have a great place

21
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 2: on Staten Island. Love Staten Island. Shout out Staten Island.

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: I need to walk I need to be able to

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: walk to a store. Oh, I got to be able

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: to walk to a store.

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 4: I get to a coffee, get a bagel, start thinking,

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: get and I can't walk anywhere where my house is.

27
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 4: So I said, babe, we got to move to a

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 4: place where I can walk to a store.

29
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: Well made you move the first the time before that, though,

30
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: I don't know you don't want to be near stores.

31
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 4: I didn't yet. I don't know. It was a pandemic.

32
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 4: And you know, I was just like, she wanted a backyard,

33
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 4: and I was like, all right, let's go get a backyard.

34
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 4: And she wanted a pool. So I was like, all right,

35
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 4: let's get a pool. But then I was like I

36
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 4: got to clean the pool. I don't want to cook

37
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: at the pool. So now you live nowhere near stores?

38
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: So right now you're ready to move to a place

39
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: near stores. Now I'm ready to move to a place

40
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 4: near stores. I'm moving back to Queen's where my mom,

41
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: where I grew up. I'm moving back to Queens. My

42
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: mom is like ten minutes away, and I'll and I'll

43
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 4: just be able to walk to stores, and you know

44
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 4: it'll be fun. Are you get no? No, I don't

45
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 4: want to deal with. I don't want to deal with

46
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 4: a pool. I don't want to deal with the backyard.

47
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 4: I don't want to deal with any of this. I

48
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 4: can't I don't have It's so I felt like the

49
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 4: house owned me. I didn't own the house, and I

50
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 4: felt like I can't do it. And every day I'm

51
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: in the fetal position. And it's emascualating when your girlfriend

52
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 4: is like, I'm the one. She's mowing the lawn and

53
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 4: she's doing everything, and I'm like, I'm gonna do the

54
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 4: homework with the kids, you know what.

55
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: I hear you doing the emasculating thing. But I don't

56
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: think I'm not buying it. I think you love it.

57
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 2: I think you love that she's out there putting up

58
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: sheet rock and you're making lemonade.

59
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: I think you're okay with that. Am I am? Am?

60
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: I calling you out? I am in the closet.

61
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: Yes' Stefan Stefano has been doing this for a while.

62
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: It's not like an overnight success and he wakes up

63
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 2: one morning like today learning he sold out his show

64
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: at Radio City tomorrow and of course you're at the

65
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: theater at Madison Square Garden on Saturday. Yes, is the

66
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: business of being a comedian a good thing?

67
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: Right now?

68
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: Is it a great time to be a comedian? Because

69
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: being a comedian frightens a living hell out of me?

70
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: Thought of it.

71
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: Right now, I feel like being a comedian you have

72
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 4: to just not care about what anybody says at all,

73
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: because I think the thing that we've realized is like,

74
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: you're always gonna have somebody who gets offended by what

75
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: you say, who wants to take your livelihood away and

76
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: cancel you. And if you just continuously, just if you

77
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 4: just keep going and are not like a criminal, then

78
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: everybody just shuts up. They realize like they don't have

79
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 4: the power that they think they have in cancel culture

80
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 4: or whatever. It's like, you just keep moving forward and

81
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 4: you'll just get more fans. But for me, what I

82
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 4: did is I got off the internet completely. Let's talk

83
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 4: about this. Yeah, listen to what he did. What about

84
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: a year ago?

85
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, last August, totally unplugged from social of course, you'll

86
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: see you have a great post all over social Chris.

87
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: But someone else is doing that for you. Someone else

88
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 4: is doing that for me. I have my eight year

89
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: old daughter. Someone else, someone else is doing it. I've

90
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: just delegated that responsibility to someone because I was like,

91
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 4: I'm on social media every day and I feel like

92
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 4: it's like making me sick. I'm comparing. Not only do

93
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: I compare myself to others, I was always comparing me

94
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: to me, and I would forget that I posted this

95
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: pic sure of myself six months ago that was cropped lighting,

96
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 4: and it was the tenth picture and then I and

97
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: then I'm like, oh, look at how much happier I

98
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 4: was back then. But I'm forgetting that I wasn't happy

99
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 4: back then. I'm I was happy now, but I was

100
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: convincing myself that I wasn't. So I was like, let

101
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: me just get off this completely. Like I read this

102
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 4: quote by Teddy Roosevelt. He said comparison is the thief

103
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 4: of joy, and I was like, that's all I'm doing.

104
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: That's this is a comparison tool, or comparison comparing even

105
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: my to my peers. Like I would go to a city,

106
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: sell out a show or have a good show even

107
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: if it didn't sell out, and be like, oh, I'm happy.

108
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 3: But then I would.

109
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: See because the algorithm, someone else was coming next week

110
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 4: and they had five sold out shows or whatever, and

111
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: I'm like, then that would make me feel So I

112
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 4: was like, let me just get off this, and then

113
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 4: I did. And then next thing you know, I was like, hmm,

114
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: I eat too much, I eat too late. Why am

115
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: I always doing that? And then little by little I

116
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 4: started intermin fasting. And then a year later, I'm like, dropped,

117
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 4: like forty pounds change everything. I still can't screw in

118
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: a light bulb, but I got you have a girlfriend

119
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: that does that? Yes, yes, but I got much healthier

120
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 4: mentally and physically. See what's going on here?

121
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: And he Chris and I were having a conversation where

122
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: I said, look, I'm almost sixty years old and I'm

123
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: to the point in my life where i don't know

124
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: where this is going because we have finite number of

125
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: breaths left.

126
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: He you, at an.

127
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: Earlier age have figured out being self aware is such

128
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: an important ingredient that you It's a gift you give yourself.

129
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: I feel like I could be eating better. I feel

130
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: like if I get off social media, I'm gonna go

131
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: ahead and squelch all that bult crap out and I'm

132
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: gonna live a better life.

133
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: See a lot of us don't stop and make the connections.

134
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 3: But you did, and this is great, you're seeing a payoff.

135
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 4: Well, I started to like talk to people who are older,

136
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 4: like in my business, and I the common theme that

137
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 4: I heard from them, moms and dads, like you know,

138
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 4: people who are on world tours and all that, you know,

139
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 4: other comedians. They're all like, yeah, you know, I would

140
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: have done I wish I would did less shows because

141
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 4: I missed so much of my kid's life. I kept

142
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 4: hearing that. I was like, man, I have little kids.

143
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 4: I don't want to miss their life, and even if

144
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 4: it means less money, I'll I'll be able to like

145
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 4: spend time with them. But you know my kids, that's

146
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 4: the thing is like I do that for them, but

147
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: like they don't care like I have. You know, I'm

00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: there many times.

157
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I gave up thousands of dollars

158
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: for you to be here, and I guess, all right,

159
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 4: I guess don't come.

160
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: Then you get all ina wow. Yeah, well you know.

161
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 3: And uh.

162
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: As a parent, I mean, if you're saying it's a

163
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: great time to be a comedian, right, I read you

164
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,119
Speaker 2: say that something, right, But what about being a parent.

165
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 2: I assume being a parent you must be as aware

166
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: of them as you are of yourself when you try

167
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: to better yourself. I mean, if you're if I had

168
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 2: three kids in the kitchen, I would pull my hair

169
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: out and most of it's gone anyway, and I'd be

170
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 2: going a little crazy. But you have this unique way

171
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 2: of reading the room with your kids, right.

172
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 4: I kind of with kids, I kind of am like,

173
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 4: you know what, when we made the decision to have kids,

174
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 4: I was like, I've I've already in a positive way,

175
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 4: blown up my life anyway, I'm already made it crazy.

176
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: So it's like whatever they do is like I feel

177
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 4: like a kids communicate through behavior. They don't communicate really

178
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 4: through words. So when they're having like a rough day

179
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 4: or you know, they just won't do anything it's like

180
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 4: they're really just trying to say, like, Dad, I'm hungry,

181
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: I'm you know, I had a bad day at school.

182
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: So I just try to like talk to them as

183
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: much as I can and try to figure it out.

184
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 4: But if they're having a bad day, we just are.

185
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 4: I'm like, you know what, this is part of being

186
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 4: a parent. I always try to go into it, especially

187
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 4: like big days, like if you go to like Disney

188
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: or you're out at the mall with them, It's like

189
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: they're not gonna do what you want them to do.

190
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 4: What I've realized is like I try to only control

191
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: what I can control in life, and I really do

192
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 4: feel like I cannot control my kids. They are in charge,

193
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: not me. So but that doesn't mean like I let them, like,

194
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 4: you know, step on me. I'm like, they are dictating

195
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: how this day is going to go, not me. I

196
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: think the parents that think that they're in charge, you're not.

197
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 4: The kids are gonna do whatever they want to do,

198
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,119
Speaker 4: and you just have to keep them safe. I'm hearing

199
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: something here, Am I wrong? No?

200
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean to a point, you're right.

201
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: Says the parent.

202
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: The other parent, Yeah, you know, you go through days

203
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: where they are going to do what they what they

204
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: want to do. But I think, you know, I'm sure

205
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: you set boundaries, of course, that's what.

206
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, whatever they want to do. Yeah,

207
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: they shoot me with a paintball gun every time I

208
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: walk in. I think that it's just for frustration levels.

209
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: I feel like I would always find myself getting frustrated

210
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: with my kids when I'm trying to make them do

211
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: something that I want them to do and they're not

212
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 4: going to do it. So it's like, how do I

213
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: make it a game? How do I adjust things?

214
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: You know?

215
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: I mean the device is you know, trying to you know,

216
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: I try to get them off the tablets and devices,

217
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 4: but it's like it's a part of their world. So

218
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 4: now I just try to limit it. I try to

219
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 4: just mix it in with books.

220
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: You know what I'm hearing here? What's this comedy? This

221
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: comedy thing is like, you're done with it? You should

222
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: be a life coach me.

223
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 3: I know, I know not. Don't pooh poo it so

224
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: fast there?

225
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: Fine, Chris, you really are speaking with a heavy, heavy,

226
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: high amount of logic here.

227
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: Well, I'm on mushrooms. OK.

228
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: I just keep telling myself every time something bad happens

229
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: in the house, or I get frustrated, I'm going to

230
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: miss this one day. Yes, I'm going to miss this

231
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: one day.

232
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 4: Yes, I always I try to. I try to remind

233
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: myself when I'm like, I just I wish my two

234
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 4: year old was out of diapers, or I wish my

235
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 4: eight year old was just you know, older, so we could, like,

236
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 4: you know, she'd want to go to like a baseball

237
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 4: game with me. And then I'm like, no, no, no, you

238
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 4: got to stay in the present, which each moment that day.

239
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 3: This is way too, way too logical for us. Yeah, yeah,

240
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: but I love that.

241
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 2: Okay, So you got into better eating, you gave up

242
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: social media, and you're finding that you're kind of you,

243
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: you're owning your world, and here you are selling it

244
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: radio City. And that's funny how these things happen. The

245
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: text message is so great. Listening to my favorite people

246
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: in the morning with my favorite comedian. I love Chris,

247
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: saw him last year. He's down to earth, hilarious. She'd

248
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: let Chris know there are companies on stet on them

249
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: that can clean that pool and put those chemicals in.

250
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: You sold that Radio City so you can afford it.

251
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: Radio City costs a lot of by the way to

252
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: rent out. You don't make as much funny as you think.

253
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 2: It's true my favorite comedian. I can't believe I'm on.

254
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: I can't believe Chris is my favorite. They love you?

255
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: Oh good if you're just turning us on, Chris Stephan.

256
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: I was here and uh, I remember when we first

00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 3: Look at that.

260
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: Look how sharp his mind was. He remembered a date,

261
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 4: just drinking every day. Just a big fat idiot. So

262
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: you're not into like like doing edibles and drinking, Yeah,

263

267
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,320

Speaker 3: My sense of humor.

302
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 4: I remember where I even started thinking about, Like my

303
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,720

304
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 4: like eight years old, nine years old, and I was

305
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 4: playing basketball like a you know, cyo, like youth basketball,

306
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,720

00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: my talent? What do you think my talent is? And

308
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 4: I wanted her so bad to say, like your jump shot,

309
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 4: you're a basketball player, You're gonna be in the NBA.

310
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 4: But you know, I was sitting on the bench at

311
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 4: nine years old. It's like it's not gonna happen. And

312
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 4: she was like your sense of humor and I was

313
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 4: like what She was like, your sense of humor, that's

314
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 4: what I think it is. And then I didn't realize

315
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 4: that so many times like she made me remember, like

316
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 4: my parents were divorced and my dad would call me

317
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 4: like every night, a great father.

318
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: He would call me.

319
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 4: He lived on Staten Island, we lived and we lived

320
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 4: in Queen's and he would call me and he would

321
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 4: call me Killer. I remember. He would always be like,

322
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 4: where's my Killer? And I would hear his voice from

323
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 4: my mom would say, honey, your dad's on the phone,

324
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 4: and I would start to cry immediately because I missed

325
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 4: him so much. But he was such an old school

326
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 4: tough guy that, like, I had it in my head

327
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 4: like you can't cry in front of a guy like this,

328
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: So I would quickly just try to like and then

329
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 4: think of a joke, think of something funny to tell him.

330
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 4: More funny story I made up. But it was that

331
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 4: was just like my defense mechanism because I didn't want

332
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 4: him to think. I didn't want him know that I

333
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 4: was actually crying, and I probably had some little kid,

334
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 4: corny joke, but it was like my attempts always, and

335
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: my mother would listen. She'd be like, you've always did

336
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 4: You've always done that, but you have to have the

337
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 4: humor in there or you can't find it.

338
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: But you did. Is your dad still around? Oh? Yeah,

339
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: he's still around. Yeah, I don't know how. But have

340
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: you cried still around? Have you cried in front of

341
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: your dad? Yeah?

342
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 4: And he has both feet, which is like if you

343
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 4: would have told me what to fifteen years ago. My

344
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,359
Speaker 4: father was not going to lose a foot from diabetes.

345
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'll bet you one hundred grands he does.

346
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 4: That guy's got two healthy feet. Did you ever cry

347
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 4: in front of your dad?

348
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 3: Father?

349
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 4: Have I cried in front of my father? That is

350
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 4: a good question. No, I still haven't. I cried in

351
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 4: front of my mother many times, right, but I haven't.

00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 4: me stuff like, oh take a look at this whatever.

409
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 4: So it's still in my life. I'm just not constantly

410
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 4: on it all the time. But for me, my comedy

411
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 4: is all about my family and it's very autobiographical. So

412
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 4: I read a little bit about the news each morning.

413
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: I deleted the news apps too, because I felt like,

414
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 4: especially the national news apps, it's all negative, you know,

415
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 4: kind of like fear porn stuff. So I watched the

416
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 4: local news shout out Zena Askato, I watched the local news.

417
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 4: I love Resona. That's who I watch in the morning

418
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 4: because I'm like, it's about you know, it's close to me.

419
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 4: It's like they'll probably just you know, do the stories

420
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 4: that matter. And yeah, I talk specifically usually about my family.

421
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 4: That's that's why I've my only goals in comedy have

422
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 4: ever been The only reason I because I was a

423
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 4: physical therapist, so I liked being a physical therapist too.

424
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 4: I like, you know, working with the people I worked with.

425
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 4: But I only want to do do a show at

426
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 4: Madison Square Garden, like the arena, Like get to Madison

427
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 4: Square Garden and make a sitcom about my dad. So

428
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 4: those are my two goals. So if I can reach

429
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 4: those two, I'm very comfortable with. Like I don't have

430
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: to do that this thing forever. Like I'm all about

431
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 4: like you're only going to live once, so like, why

432
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,600

499
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,880

00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:30,480

Speaker 3: Hey, I love this Chris guy. Does he know Matt Rife? Sure?

00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 3: Sure of course, who doesn't know Matt Ryche?

503
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: I mean talk about this is one of the many

504
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 2: great comedy stories.

505
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,239
Speaker 4: Yes, so Matt Rife represents how comedy has evolved, Like

506
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 4: I started in twenty ten, right, and in twenty ten

507
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 4: there wasn't the internet, you know, there wasn't you know,

508
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 4: the ability to make clips and put clips out there.

509
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 4: Of course, there wasn't TikTok or anything like that. And

510
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: you know what it's evolved with comedy now is it

511
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 4: used to be long form. Everybody was going for their

512
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 4: hour comedy special. Now it's short form. It's completely changed.

513
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 4: Our sensibilities have changed, our tension spans have changed. It's

514
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 4: one one hundred percent change. And the people who are

515
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 4: still in the long form, if that's what they want

516
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 4: to do, that's what they want to do. But the

517
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 4: public is not consuming it this way anymore. They're consuming

518
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 4: it the way Matt Rife put it out, which is

519
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 4: short clips, crowd work. I think the beauty the genius

520
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 4: of Matt Rife to me is when I watch him,

521
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 4: as you know, fellow comedian, I'm like, what he's doing

522
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 4: is amazing because he's doing his comedy, which is great,

523
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 4: but he's making the audience they want to be. They

524
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 4: feel like they can be a part of his videos too,

525
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 4: So they're paying and be like, not only will I

526
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 4: get to go see him, but I might actually be

527
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 4: on his actual show, which is a clipstream on TikTok.

528
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 4: So you're like the people, don't they feel like I'm

529
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 4: taking a chance for myself to get fame, for myself,

530
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 4: to have my face in front of millions of people.

531
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 4: So it's smart and genius. And the thing with Matt

532
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 4: Rife is, like anything else, there are no overnight successes.

533
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 4: If you've just heard of Matt Rife, now great, good,

534
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 4: go to his shows. But we've known I mean I've
