This one has no emo ness to 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.879 it at all. It's just like fifty three minutes of 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.280 like this is me, like sprinting. I like them. I 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.520 know I do too, But there are people that are like, nah, yeah, 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:01.000 my man was a little too little, too incher. I 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:01.840 don't have a problem with that. 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.160 Somebody else, you know, somebody said that to me about 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.280 Bill Burr recently. They was like, Bill might be doing 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:08.080 a little too much. 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.240 There, you know. Well, I watched him on here and 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.280 it was funny to see him be like that because 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.560 it's so not what he's been like. But I but 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.320 I Bill was sort of weirdly the inspiration for three 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.039 mics in a weird way because he had done a 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.080 thing called The Moth and he talked about emotional stuff. 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.760 So so I just but I just did two of them. 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.360 And the other thing is like I feel better, I 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.679 don't feel depressed anymore. So I didn't. I wasn't going 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:37.560 to force it. A dude, I did the show, I 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.840 did crazy good in DC, and a dude DM me 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.000 afterward and was like, I kept waiting for you to 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.040 show up because he was basically saying like, why weren't 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:52.120 you sad? So I have an announcement at the beginning 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.320 of the show like, Hey, I'm not sad, so just 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.680 enjoy yourself. Let me let me ask you a question. 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.000 What got you out of that sad. 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.440 Because you've been up here several times? Yeah, you had 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.280 a total different light, different space.

Uh, this thing called d M T, which 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.520 I don't recommend, but it was it kind of broke 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:44.400 my brain and then it re congealed into something better. 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.280 And then this past year M d M A has 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.480 been really good for if you do M d M 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:58.040 A in a non party space, it can be Uh, 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.359 it can, it can. In my ex as, it was 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.760 a god connection that ecstasy. 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.440 So what made you think you needed that? 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:07.840 Like?

And 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:45.840 then I've just gotten a lot of like it's the 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.400 corniest shit in the world, but like gratitude, you've been 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.760 doing You've been on gratitude a long time.

It's a very unappreciated blessing 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:29.560 to make it home at night. 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.320 Yeah, everybody and make it home like either they not 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.440 like they a lot of people die in work.

I'm two minds about it, which 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:23.000 is one of them is I don't It's a reflex 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.400 at this point, like I've been known this like thirty years, 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.960 so if a news story happens, I can kind of 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.080 like you know, and uh, and if I lose it, 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.560 I had a good run, like I've started. Half Bay 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.880 came out twenty seven years ago, so no, I know, 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.480 so like I've been I wrote for all that on Nickelodeon, 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.400 like I've been out here, wrote I was, yes, I 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:53.400 was fighting the molesters, and uh, like I've been doing 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.800 this a long ass time. So if it, if it, 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.000 if I, if I lose the touch, I lose the touch. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.240 But what what I found is the touch is a 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.360 reflex at this point, like I can just I just 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.400 my brain does it out of the touch? Did you 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.320 see any of that, Nickelodeon, thank you for bringing that up. 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:19.200 I didn't see any of it, trum Mane, But but 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:23.800 I am against it, so I hope. So now we're 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:28.240 on the record, and hopefully this will hold up in court. 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:34.400 Jesus Christy, No, I didn't see that. Yeah. 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.800 Now, all your specials have a great name, but it's 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.320 not just names. If you've seen through mics, you know 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.360 why it's called through micros. Have you've seen blocks, you 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.960 know why it's called blocks. I'm assuming crazy good is 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:44.600 just crazy good. 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.800 Uh, crazy good is actually okay. So one of the 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:54.720 parts of the special is making fun of the commodification 0:07:54.800 --> 0:08:00.440 of mental health, like making fun of TikTok psychology and 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:04.880 all that, and so I'm not against it, but I 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.080 just feel like the amount of people making videos about 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:13.240 trauma and and uh and all the diagnoses of like 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:17.360 you're being gasolt, just all that stuff is so aggravating. 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.080 It's so aggravating, and it's also dishonest because none of 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.720 these people have any idea what they're talking about. They 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:27.480 just hurt it on another TikTok. So I'm basically toward 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:32.160 the end. I'm saying, you know you're you do go 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.200 to therapy, take medication, do I do all the stuff 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.200 you gotta do, But just know that most of the 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.679 great things in life are from psychopaths and drug addicts. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.240 Damn Jesus. I mean, if I'm wrong, let me know. 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:50.079 What's it? All right? All the all? The inventor Sigmund 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:54.280 Freud open coke head. Most of Freud's books should be 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.559 called this maybe the Cocaine talking like there he was 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:02.800 a coke head. Uh yeah, women are jealous of our dicks. Yeah, 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:08.000 like it's real. KOCHI shit, Edison did coke. The Wright Brothers, 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:09.800 I don't know if they were on coke, but like 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.320 I mean or on math, but they had the metheist idea, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:14.840 which is like, hey, do you fucking feel like you 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:23.440 can fly? The all like the modern inventors elon musk 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.640 o something, yeah, ketamine or he's just out of his mind, 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:31.439 And then I get into like what about musicians? Okay, 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:36.240 The Rolling Stones had, in order to tour America, had 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.520 to get a doctor to test them for drugs every day, 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.839 and the doctor lasted six weeks before he got hooked 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:55.120 on cocaine. Yeah, like yeah, hip hop, lean weed weed. Yeah. 0:09:55.240 --> 0:10:00.520 So so you know, there's just like there's and then 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.760 I do comedians, Well, why are you guys all psychopathic 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.040 and drug addicts? I'm like, so far Richard Pryor drug addict, 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.960 George Carlin drug addict, Bill Cosby, choose your own adventure. 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.079 The modern ones like you know, Lenny Bruce a drug addict. 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:21.240 John Belushi's a drug addict. John mulaney told me to 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:25.040 remind people he's a drug addict in the bed like 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:30.200 people were all something. So I'm not saying don't treat it. 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:34.360 I'm not saying, you know, ride it, but I'm just 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:40.760 saying the audience needs to accept that where we're not. 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.319 The other thing that's been happening is like comedians are 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:49.240 like moral leaders, you know, like Dave or being a kid. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:55.560 It's like why it's they're these serious issues and like 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.959 transgender rights and stuff, and then how bankrupt are others 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.120 segments of society that they finally were like, well what 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:07.680 do the clowns think? Why are you asking us what 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:12.000 we think about these This should have never gotten to 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:18.200 our desk. It's for politicians and clergy and other leaders, 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:22.839 but like, don't turn to Joe Rogan for vaccine advice. Yeah, 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.200 I think there's one though. 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:28.439 I would say when I watched George Carlin, now he 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.960 was very prophetic. 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:35.480 Yeah, yes, yeah, but he also I can name a 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.120 bunch of real dark shit, Like he had a bit 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:46.439 about Blamia rich bitch, won't eat fuck her. Not exactly 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.200 the most ethical take he had, you know, he went 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:54.839 both ways. So again they were they we can be that, 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:59.360 but the no one moves out to LA to be righteous. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.520 Everyone moves out there would be funny and famous, you know. 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:07.920 And it's the same thing with like is Ellen nice? 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.880 Is Ellen? And I'm like, first of all, Ellen's hilarious 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.360 he and b she's a gay right icon, Like like, 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.000 I don't I don't need her to be. She came 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.200 out on television, got kicked off television for being gay, 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.720 and then came back and dominated. But that's not enough 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.880 for people. They're like, yeah, but is she nice? It's 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.640 so childish. It's like being like, is my car also 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.520 a boat? Just appreciate that you have a car? Also 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.040 is Ellen nice? How many nice lesbians have you ever met? 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.199 Your entire life? You know what I mean. I say, 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.480 we don't talk about toxic studs enough. I say it often. 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:49.440 I know, step up toxics, toxic studs. I wonder what. 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.760 Comedians right becuse they always talk about the trauma that 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.920 comedians have experienced. I wonder if it is the expectation 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.640 of always having to make people laugh, you know a 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.520 psycho that is to get on stage in front of hundreds, 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.880 thousands of people and say I'm going to make them last. 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.960 Yeah, it's a very hard job. Yes, it's a very 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.839 hard job, and it's a very weird job. Well how 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:14.480 do you do it on the Daily Show? How do 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:19.920 you do meaning the difference between this and that? 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.760 Well, because number one, I don't approach it from a 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.400 comediance perspective because I'm not a comedian. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.280 And number thank you thank you for saying that. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.959 Yes I hate when they say that, but the Daily 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:33.000 Show allows me to go in death on things I 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.480 might just touch here on the surface. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.400 But are you do you worry about getting laughs? 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.760 No? I rather really I'm also I'm more so concerned 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.560 with just saying something because that's when I look at 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.440 the Daily Show, that's the type of institution. 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:47.520 That it is. 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.600 I'm more so concerned about saying something that I know 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.400 people are going to actually being formed by and take 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.400 something away from and be like, oh, yeah. 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:56.559 But you don't want to do that thing where you 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.439 do what might have been a punchline and you hear 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.480 that air can conditioning unit in the background, you're like. 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.640 Oh, oh, okay, I feel like I do that anyway 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.679 naturally though, I feel like, you know, you have to 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.000 use humor to push push things along. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.839 Right, But there it's sort of like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.200 metered for laugh. So I'm just wondering if you get 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:23.440 it's not scared but like a little bit like you're yeah, 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:27.600 scared kids, Yeah, yes, And and do you change your approach? 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.920 You just read what's on the you write it, read 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:30.600 what's on the problem. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.560 Yeah, because I might be a psychopath or some type 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:37.600 of sociopaths. You know, you're going to either get the 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.160 laugh or you're going to feel the pain of not right. 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.800 That's the other thing is like, I don't you know 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.600 a lot of people. It's I have a hugehunk about 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.440 athletes too, because we want, you know, good mental health 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.040 and sports. And I'm like, you know, I want good 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.040 mental health for everybody, but not athletes, Like we need 0:14:56.080 --> 0:15:00.880 our athletes to be psychos? What we I repeat myself, 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.600 and we need our athletes to be Did you see 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.920 the last dance? Did Michael Jordan seem mentally healthy to 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:13.560 you in the slightest giant mansion? One chair? Come on, guys, Uh, 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.920 he's out of his mind. So what I'm saying punching 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.840 Steve Kerr? And then I don't care. And then people 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.480 are like, well, he's you know, he's an angry guy. 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.560 He's not a great husband or that. I was like, well, 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.240 I'm not married to him. I don't give a shit. 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.120 Be as long as you don't break the law, you 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.360 can be as rotten to the people around you as well. 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.200 Lebron said on his podcast the other day, in order 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:39.760 to be great, you have to hurt your loved ones. Yeah, 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.200 and that's what the gambit is. All these people, any 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.360 great athlete is Tom Brady is out of his mind. 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.520 It's like you couldn't even be retired. Made it like 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.120 ten days and it was like, I don't know these 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:55.040 fucking kids, like you can't like you don't know all 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:57.880 any great is out of their mind. And I don't 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.040 even get into like OJM I'm talking about just like MJ. 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.560 Lebron's a little something right if he's saying in public, 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:10.680 you have to hurt your family like Lance Armstrong. The 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.040 joke I did on the show was like, I don't 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.360 even consider Lance Armstrong an athlete. I consider Lance Armstrong 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.640 a criminal who found a bike. Like that guy is 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:23.200 a criminal. He think about the worst lie you ever told, 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:27.800 and then imagine selling bracelets about it. This guy's gone 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:34.760 tiger Tiger. I mean that dude, he's like he's he's 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:39.880 tokyo drifting at six thirty in the morning. These guys 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:43.360 are wired to and by the way, the women are too. 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:48.200 Like the gymnastics girls. We don't give those girls enough credit, man, 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:52.120 Like that's a crazy thing they're doing, a lot of 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:53.920 them are getting paid, a lot of them. We're getting 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:58.720 sexually abuse, which is insane. And you got to get 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:00.960 it right, be first time, and you gotta stick the 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:05.119 landing or you're not. You ain't getting no wheaties. You 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.760 ain't getting the cover of wheaties with the wobbly landing. 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.560 You gotta nail it. The figure skating girls, they look 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.000 like they're in trouble, like they've First of all, it 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:20.120 looks like they've never even seen makeup when they it's 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.320 like when they do the thing the routine, and they 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.800 gotta like they've never it's like their first day with 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:31.359 makeup like Daldaldall, Daldaldall Shock Horror like there, and then 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.679 they gotta they and then they gotta they do like 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:38.040 the hologram thing, uh, and then they gotta finish and 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:42.480 sit in the booth with their kidnappers at the end. 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:48.600 I wonder if it's people being mentally unwell, are people 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.720 are really using their brains? And what I mean by 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.680 that is if you decide that, you know, you want 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.200 to wake up every day and just do the same 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:59.960 routine over and over, it doesn't really take much brain function. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.199 But people that are really having to open up their 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.280 brains and use their minds, it's just using their brain 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.720 to that fullest extent. 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.080 Does that just make you feel drive you crazy? I'll 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:15.280 make you seehim crazy? I don't I think that you know. 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.159 The joke I did in the show is it's like 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:20.760 when you're doing a video when you're making a video 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.639 game character, you have like one hundred points for like 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:25.800 you know, dexterity and speed, and all that stuff. It's like, 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:29.600 that's kind of what God does, and sometimes he just 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:33.240 gets the calibration wrong, you know what I mean. Like 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:37.040 with when God was making Woody Allen, they were like 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:38.600 how many He was like, how many points should we 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.000 give him for comedy and filmmaking. He's like, fuck it, 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:42.919 give him a hundred. And then they were like, but 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.440 that's not gonna make points for not fucking his family, 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:51.960 and uh, I think that would be low emotional, Like you, well, yeah, 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.240 that's a nice way to put it. Uh, that's what 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.040 that's what the charges were. He low emotionally, I can't. Yeah. 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.480 Like so I just think if you're you're good at 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:07.040 one thing, it's so weird. If you can rhyme good, 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.000 it's like wrap that's in your brain. Most people's brains 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:13.920 don't come up with couplets like that. Most people don't 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:18.720 see the world analytically. Most people don't see let alone analytically, 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:26.119 and uh, you know, funnily so it's just you're gonna 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.520 be deficient in other areas as long as you're not 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:29.240 breaking the law. 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:32.399 Do you think it's the gifts that make you shitty 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.000 or the world that comes with the gifts? 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:36.119 Oh, being a shitty person. 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:37.920 I think, oh when you I mean, I think you 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:39.679 have the gift, but it's I think it's the world 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:41.160 to access the power the money. 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.080 Yeah, I think I think it. It's hard. I can't 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.639 think of many people that have been made. You have 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:53.119 to make a real effort to uh stay centered with 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.879 all the because it just becomes like if everywhere you 0:19:56.920 --> 0:19:58.840 go people say you're in great shape, You're never going 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.359 to go to the gym. I mean so if everyone's like, 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.560 oh and anything for you, sir or miss or whatever, 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.040 it's like you're just not. It's people will only be 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:10.199 as good as they have to be. That's been my experience. 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.880 It's like if or if you demand it of them, 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.080 then they'll do it. But people will naturally do as 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.800 little as they It's like homework, Like what do I 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.520 gotta do to get an I they if you're famous 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:23.000 and talent, you don't have to do much. You just 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.560 have to do the trick. You just got to be 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.760 funny when the when it's time to be funny, you know. 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.000 With your resume and your talent and all the things 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.159 that you've done, and how funny you are, do you 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.280 feel like you look you get overlooked a lot by 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.720 the public, like you should be a bigger comedian because, 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:42.440 like you said, the years that you put in this industry, 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:45.919 from writing, from being on stage, from telling jokes all that. 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:52.239 Uh, you know, I don't I could say yes or 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.040 no because I kind of feel like there's no one 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:57.679 who I feel like I deserve there. I should be 0:20:57.680 --> 0:20:59.240 in their place, right, you know what I mean? Like 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:05.440 when so and I also feel like certain people, the 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:09.119 people that are like people that do arenas or whatever, 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:16.119 it's like they have real, like real performance attributes that 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.800 I don't necessarily have, Like they're just really they walk 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.320 on stage and you're like, well, this is gonna be 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:27.680 I always tell Kevin Hart he is sunshine. He's sunshine, right. 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.439 I direct some of those Chase commercials. You cut to 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:32.959 that motherfucker in a close up. The sun is shining. 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:36.040 It can be an in, it can be in a house. 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.639 He's just like, let me tell you something. Royle just 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:44.280 he's Dave is bugs bunny. He just is bugs bunny. 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.119 There's nothing you can do about. Chris Rock talks like 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:53.199 a chainsaw, yang ing it like Ellen sounds like a 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:59.280 flute and and a baby Jerry Seinfeld sounds like a clarinet, 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.480 so so all these people it's I mean, and I 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:07.959 clearly I've thought about it, but it's I'm again the 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:11.359 gratitude thing. You've had a great career. Yeah, I've had 0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:14.840 a dude, I've had an amazing like, yeah, I have 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:18.240 an announcement to make everybody uh so No, but I 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:21.040 that's the thing is, like I I could focus on, 0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:25.199 like what why not? I'm what else? What else? What 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:28.480 would happen? What am I looking for? Like I need 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:31.119 to be on private jets instead of business class? Like 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:33.920 I don't. I'm I'm good Like I don't. I don't 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:37.280 And I'm not saying it like I wouldn't accept it 0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.720 or I wouldn't accept a promotion in some ways, but 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:46.359 like I do theaters. I've come on here, people watch it, 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:51.760 and I yeah, it's I. I appreciate the question, but but 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:54.399
