Speaker 3: Like if I'm losing, and I was like okay, because
Speaker 3: I always go with what I could lose and do
Speaker 3: it responsibly. But I'm like, if I'm not even have
Speaker 3: fun and I still have money in my pocket, that
Speaker 3: I'd like just forget it, Like I've done that a bunch,
Speaker 3: but I love I love just the This weekend was
Speaker 3: very different though we it was like the wild West. Well,
Speaker 3: at one point my cousin Mike Williams, who's a very
Speaker 3: strong gentleman, had Steve on his shoulders like.
Speaker 1: A totem pole at the crash. I've never seen this
Speaker 1: in my life.
Speaker 2: Has to get them backlog right, Okay, backstory, So, so
Speaker 2: Justin was on a heater. He was on a heater,
Speaker 2: but I think the key was is that he and
Speaker 2: I would have to make eye contact. You're on opposite
Speaker 2: under the table, opposite into the table, so every time
Speaker 2: there's only so many times you could look at each
Speaker 2: other make a silly face or like you know, stuff
Speaker 2: like that. So I was getting more and more inventive
Speaker 2: with what I could do during an eye contact. So again,
Speaker 2: your your cousin Mike, who's very fit. Yeah, I said,
Speaker 2: do you think you could put me on his shoulders
Speaker 2: lift you up? He's like, oh yeah, He's like okay,
Speaker 2: when he gets the dice, he always looks down and
Speaker 2: then he looks up to see what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2: So when he looks up, I'm going to like corral
Speaker 2: you like I'm on a horse, syat and then you
Speaker 2: go up. He goes okay, and so Justin has the dice,
Speaker 2: he mutters to you. He looks up at me, and
Speaker 2: as I do that, I donkey kicked Mike, and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, I go up. But then I'm going forward.
Speaker 2: He almost lost it and there was a stutter step,
Speaker 2: and then I went back up and I was. I
Speaker 2: was because Mike is six two, Yeah, I was. I
Speaker 2: was definitely like five feet up in the air, just
Speaker 2: like staring, totally committed, staring at Justin and Justin seeing him.
Speaker 1: Not break at all.
Speaker 2: Right, he didn't break, and he still rolled after he
Speaker 2: rolled them, after he rolled.
Speaker 1: Them, when he was what he was losing.
Speaker 3: He would try to keep eye contact with you, and
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe how good you were doing. I even
Speaker 3: so much, was like amazed because I would watch it unfold.
Speaker 3: Justin wouldn't look at you, but I would watch you
Speaker 3: take your shirt off. You had your shirt off at
Speaker 3: one point, you had you had you had it around
Speaker 3: you like an ascot, like a proper gentleman. You grabbed
Speaker 3: your drink at your pinky out and he looked up
Speaker 3: at you and you were a bare chest in European,
Speaker 3: I guess some sort.
Speaker 2: And when he rolled, I completely shoved my stomach out
Speaker 2: so far. I was spraying myself like a shamoo show.
Speaker 2: I was deep throat and chips. I was.
Speaker 3: You took a bottle of water and just shot it
Speaker 3: all over your face and just looked at it. Looked
Speaker 3: at him like like you know a romance novel when
Speaker 3: the guy's under the waterfall and just does the hairwimb
Speaker 3: It's so funn Yeah.
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that didn't throw us out. I thought
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: I absolutely thought I was. I was like, they're gonna
Speaker 2: kick me out. And we were getting so delirious. Towards
Speaker 2: the end, I was crying, laughing at the things I
Speaker 2: was thinking of doing, you know, being behind Mike on
Speaker 2: that one. Yeah, and then Justin was hid from one
Speaker 2: and just had your eyes at the top. I just
Speaker 2: had my eyes like this. And then Justin he was
Speaker 2: talking to you, and I was like, oh my, now's
Speaker 2: my chance. And I ran all the way behind everybody,
Speaker 2: and he looked up at and he and then I
Speaker 2: was below his feet, at his feet, and I was
Speaker 2: looking up at him, laid under his leg and he
Speaker 2: looked down at me, and he took the dice and
Speaker 2: still looked at me as he rolled the dice, got
Speaker 2: he got.
Speaker 1: A heart sex. It was a phenomenal Oh great time,
Speaker 1: you have great time. It was just I love I
Speaker 1: love that. I love the energy of that.
Speaker 2: But you start, you you create that. Like you start,
Speaker 2: you give license to be like, let's just have fun.
Speaker 2: And then we're having fun. The crew at the table
Speaker 2: is having fun, and then all those games happen because
Speaker 2: you are the gatekeeper and you're like, oh, let's just
Speaker 2: let's kind of go off here a bit. I mean
Speaker 2: you're dancing around the guy moving all the all the
Speaker 2: all the chips through the casino. It was beeping, and
Speaker 2: it was just standing there having a conversations. I mean
Speaker 2: that was that was crazy. You were dumping on him
Speaker 2: and the.
Speaker 1: Stanch I wrote a stanchion at one point. It was
Speaker 1: it was a good time.
Speaker 3: I will say though, on the dance floor now, if
Speaker 3: we're gonna go the other way, I love a good
Speaker 3: dance floor because the dance floor is always you never
Speaker 3: know who're gonna bump into. The possibilities are endless, Like it's
Speaker 3: always fun. You turn around you're gonna see these guys

Speaker 3: You have a robot off and they're doing splits, but
Speaker 3: you don't know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I love that, And if the music is right, I
Speaker 1: think that's a huge key.
Speaker 2: The music's gotta be right.

Speaker 2: I don't dance, no, but you curate.
Speaker 1: I love a sing along.

Speaker 3: she was I guess I get that from her.
Speaker 1: The whole communal you could make you could make it fun.
Speaker 3: The big thing too, is if like you know what
Speaker 3: you're doing and you're doing it for fun, Like that's
Speaker 3: a big difference. Like if you know that, you're not like,
Speaker 3: I'm not there to try to break the bank, beat
Speaker 3: the you know, you know, take down that's how I'm
Speaker 3: trying to take out of the house. I'm just I'm
Speaker 3: there to have a good time with my friends and
Speaker 3: lose it.
Speaker 1: I'm able to, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, look, we've all been to casinos,
Speaker 2: especially now at our age, and you know, being in entertainment,
Speaker 2: you you know, especially you go to Vegas whatever. It's
Speaker 2: not as fun to go people that are competitive and
Speaker 2: are looking to win and not just win but win big. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because they're betting big. And when you're betting big, your
Speaker 2: investments are that your emotional investment is that much bigger.
Speaker 2: And it's just not fun to be around. Now. It's tough,
Speaker 2: even the highs, like it's it's yeah, I've recently.
Speaker 3: Gotten into baccarat bACC are at Baccara No, what is it?
Speaker 3: I don't I still don't know, but it was very fun.
Speaker 3: You got to yell at the deal, you yell monkey
Speaker 3: at the cards. It was very funny. A nice lady
Speaker 3: named Emily. We had a table two weekends ago and
Speaker 3: I was with Jiggy and we were I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: I've never played baccarn Now like cause you play.
Speaker 1: It's fun.
Speaker 3: So I went and I ended up winning a lot
Speaker 3: of money and I was like, Okay, I like this game. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And I was like how it work? And then I
Speaker 3: was like I don't really want to know. I was like,
Speaker 3: I don't even want to know, because I feel like
Speaker 3: that a lot happens a lot of times. I hate
Speaker 3: that when people come up like what do I need
Speaker 3: to roll? I'm like, don't even worry, just go because
Speaker 3: then you start thinking and then it's not fun.
Speaker 1: You start like, you know, you start worrying about what you.
Speaker 2: Have to do and what do you think your what
Speaker 2: do you think your mom would say if she could
Speaker 2: see how she saw Season one? Obviously unpacked, but but
Speaker 2: from it just being a show to it being to
Speaker 2: the to the point where you can't walk through an
Speaker 2: airport a grocery store or anywhere public without being noticed,
Speaker 2: Like everybody in this country a group of people. Somebody
Speaker 2: knows who you are. I mean, what do you think
Speaker 2: your mom would think? From well that too where it
Speaker 2: is now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my mom was a peacock at season one, like
Speaker 3: she was like, that's my son, Joe, Like I can't
Speaker 3: even Yeah, what she would have been like now, I
Speaker 3: think because she was super.
Speaker 1: Proud of me even then, just because I was realizing
Speaker 1: the dream and doing that.
Speaker 3: But now that I'm affecting people's lives in a way
Speaker 3: and trying to make families laugh the way my family
Speaker 3: grew up last and I think she would have a
Speaker 3: real real affinity for that and happy in a different
Speaker 3: way because when I did it, what she saw from
Speaker 3: me was I was doing something that I loved and
Speaker 3: I her son being like.
Speaker 1: Oh look he's a comedian. He did it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then but now to see, as I see it, the.
Speaker 3: Way that I am affecting change or able to affect
Speaker 3: change or try to do some good in the world
Speaker 3: and then things like that, that was on a different
Speaker 3: level for me. And I think I get that from her,
Speaker 3: So I think she would be like super proud in
Speaker 3: a different way of that of like holy cow, like
Speaker 3: look what he could do like with all my be
Speaker 3: kind and you know, like the dog's probably not so
Speaker 3: much like dogs, but I think that but with like
Speaker 3: the kindness and especially like the family stuff about like
Speaker 3: having parents something to connect with their kids with, Like
Speaker 3: that was she was all about family. So I think
Speaker 3: to you know, like in this this weekend, you were,
Speaker 3: you know, on stage, we saw an eleven year old
Speaker 3: girl with her fourteen year old brother, yeah, and their
Speaker 3: parents together, and I met them in the meet and
Speaker 3: greet and the little girl was crying and I was
Speaker 3: hugging her and I saw the mom and I was like,
Speaker 3: she just was like crying saying thank you.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I get one hundred percent get
Speaker 1: what you mean. Like it's just like to be able
Speaker 1: to bond with your family over something like the way
Speaker 1: we did with our parents over TV or whatever. To
Speaker 1: be the thing to be watched is crazy in a
Speaker 1: different way.
Speaker 3: And you don't realize that in the beginning, right, you know,
Speaker 3: like season one whatever, You're like, oh, I'm look at me,
Speaker 3: I'm I'm on TV, but you don't realize who's watching you.
Speaker 1: Sure, and the importance of that.
Speaker 2: Well, the difference between us is I did realize who's
Speaker 2: watching my show, nobody, because we could cancel it up
Speaker 2: the three seasons.
Speaker 1: Three seasons.
Speaker 2: We had three seasons. But I'll never forget when, you know,
Speaker 2: looking back on my folks, they you know, being here
Speaker 2: in New York City. I started in New York nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety seven, September thirty, first time on stage. My first
Speaker 2: few months getting on stage, I did Bringer shows. So
Speaker 2: they would come every Saturday to the New York Comedy
Speaker 2: Club Er Stand Up New York and be my two
Speaker 2: paying customers. They sit through two and a half hours
Speaker 2: of horrible stand up. I'd always be up at the
Speaker 2: end of course.
Speaker 1: Oh you opened, you opened two and a half hours.
Speaker 2: Se sit the whole time and just like watch all
Speaker 2: these bad comics, and they and I do five minutes.
Speaker 2: And they'd spend fifty sixty bucks every time. And so
Speaker 2: years later season one, even the pilot, I remember the
Speaker 2: pilot Sullivan's son so vividly because Dan Lowie is playing
Speaker 2: Steve Senior and Jodi Long is playing Oakcha my mom.
Speaker 2: And for them to come to like the Warner I
Speaker 2: could get emotional think about. But for them to pull
Speaker 2: into Burbank, go to Warner Brothers, be in a sound
Speaker 2: stage and meet people that are playing caricatures of themselves
Speaker 2: and they're in the audience, and I just remember there
Speaker 2: was a there was a moment where I was about
Speaker 2: to film this next scene and I was so in
Speaker 2: my head because everything was resting on me in the pilot.
Speaker 2: I'm in everything, every line. I remember just looking up
Speaker 2: and seeing them and just like my mom was just
Speaker 2: in this chair like so excited. My dad was behind
Speaker 2: her and like holding on it. I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, this is so crazy, like so surreal, and
Speaker 2: it was great to to, you know, even though I'm
Speaker 2: the comic on stage, like they've been with me on
Speaker 2: this journey for so long, and that was one of
Speaker 2: those pivotal you know, careers are roller coasters. You have
Speaker 2: these highs and peaks, and for them to be at
Speaker 2: that peak together with me and for them to see
Speaker 2: that unpack. And then a month later when it was
Speaker 2: picked up, my mom asked me if she's getting a percentage?
Speaker 2: I said what. She goes, well, are you using my name?
Speaker 2: And I'm a character? So where's my cut? I was like, cut.
Speaker 2: She's like I don't get a cut. I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: you don't get a cut. Mom, it's a character. That's
Speaker 2: the name of the character. She's like, well, could I like,
Speaker 2: could I sue? And I'm like, Mom, I'm your son.
Speaker 2: She's like, but I could get a lawyer, right, I'm like, hypothetically,
Speaker 2: are you asking me? For real? Are you? And it
Speaker 2: was like a real conversation. The character Oaksha as much
Speaker 2: of a character, like always about the money. It is
Speaker 2: rooted in reality. Yeah, for sure. So it was pretty
Speaker 2: wild and I was laughing and I was like, of course,
Speaker 2: this is is what you're doing right now, this is
Speaker 2: this is how it would have to happen.
Speaker 1: She's like, I gotta go play some slots. Well, thanks
Speaker 1: so much, guys.
Speaker 3: Sorry we didn't have a chance to get into some
