<v Speaker 3>What's up man?

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, riding Karen, great to be here. I think I

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>should have been warned about my pacemaker. I'm not sure

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>that that strobe light is helping at all other viewers.

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 6>Probably there you go, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I like we're doing everything but getting drunk, like seeing

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 2>in right, Pete Man, First of all, we're going to

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 2>be hanging out with you in April, yes, for a

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 2>thing called pod Jam three. Uh what is pod Jam three?

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Can you tell our audience?

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>From firsthand experience, because we've just been telling them what

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 2>we think it's gonna be.

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know, yes, it's a show and an experience.

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>So it's like two to three day event, depending on

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 1>how long people want to come. If you want to

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>come and just see the podcast taping, you can do that.

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 6>But there are just parties we hang out.

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>There's my friend has an awesome house with an amazing

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>pool and a DJ, and we go and we eat

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and we drank and we dance and it's just people

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>hanging out. My goal since Covid, since I left Serious XM,

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>my corporate media career kind of like aenning and starting

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.799
<v Speaker 1>this own independent thing, was not actually to create community,

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>but it accidentally became that as a result of COVID.

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Because I started having these zoom hangouts during lockdown.

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 6>More and more people would come.

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>We created this kind of online community and We're like,

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>is it's gonna be weird if we get the better

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>together in person?

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 6>Right?

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.359
<v Speaker 1>But we were like, we put our social anxiety and

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>our introversion away if we had that and people met

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>up in the first time was two years ago and

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>it was amazing, And the second time was last year

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>it was even better in many ways. And this year

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>inviting you guys, trying to connect our community to your community.

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>The goal being the thing that fights loneliness, which kills people.

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Is every single philosophy, religious or moral or psychological says

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>that community matters. I'm reading Victor Frankel's uh Man Search

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 1>for Meaning right now. You know, Holocaust victims and community

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>in the concentration camps. So not to get too dark,

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>but you got to go as dark about it as

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.679
<v Speaker 1>you can to talk about the importance and the light,

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>which is what we bring.

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 6>A lot of light like that on Karen's.

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Head of people connecting meeting and you know, like, I

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>think it's fair to say that they're similar values. They're

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>generally they're progressive. I guess it's the easiest way.

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of ethnic diversity, there's a lot of

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>age diversity, gender. We got a lot of members of

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the LGBT community, and then we have like a lot

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>of male models like me.

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh nice, listen, we all we could always use more

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 2>apacs and come gutters and all that good stuff to see.

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 5>I am here for when you talk about community, community

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 5>is very important, and I think for a lot of people,

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 5>COVID kind of killed community because people kind of went

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 5>inward and they never came back out, you know what

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying, Like they never came out to society and

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 5>to reality and the things around them. So community is

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 5>great because it allows people to talk, It allows people

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 5>to open up, It allows them to realize that.

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 4>You actually are not alone. We guess what, we all are.

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 5>Struggling, We all going through something, We all are facing difficulties,

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 5>and so sometimes it's good to realize that you're not alone.

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I also think community is what a lot of people

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 2>are gonna have to lean on to get through this

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 2>era of the Trump administration. Yes they are, because they

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 2>have so many of the levers of power right now

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>and they're passing laws and stuff that the only way

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 2>around those laws it is for us to help each

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 2>other to look past like a law or rule and

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 2>be like I just see you as a person, right,

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 2>how can I help you get something to eat today today?

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Like like, rather than be like, well, don't worry.

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 2>In a couple of years, it'll be time to vote again.

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Like that shit's not going to do it for a

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:14.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of people.

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 1>It's Those are all really important points. And I can't

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>say enough about the importance of community and community building.

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>And I can't also say enough about how rewarding it

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.600
<v Speaker 1>feels to be involved in connecting people with each other.

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And I think that part of as you said, car

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 1>like COVID really killed community in a lot of ways.

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 1>The Internet, did you know, the kind of degradation of

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>religion and churches where people had community did And there's

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different reasons for it. But as you said,

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 1>it's so important, it's so valuable to your life, to

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>your life force.

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 6>We all have a bag of rocks that we're.

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Dragging, and more specifically, when it comes to politics and

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the political and technolgical world we're living in, it's important

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.720
<v Speaker 1>to be like connect with other people in other parts

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:05.719
<v Speaker 1>of the country, in the world.

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 6>And be like, hey man, are you seeing this?

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, what I see looks cray cray.

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 6>But I can't even believe that it's today, and good did.

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 1>And here's the thing when you I call it Earth one,

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.159
<v Speaker 1>we're connecting people who live on Earth one.

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 6>We don't agree on everything.

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.039
<v Speaker 1>We have some pretty good arguments, some fun arguments about

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>stupid shit, and some important arguments about important stuff. But

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:39.040
<v Speaker 1>we do agree on a certain set of ideas critical thinking,

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>open mindedness, expertise, trust, and we communicate in such a

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>I think, nuanced way that we're not We're not trying

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>to like blow each other up.

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 6>So we're over here on Earth one saying are you

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 6>seeing this?

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Because it's important that we recognize with the rise of

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.719
<v Speaker 1>AI and this political narrative and movement that is so

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>hard to to wake up and be in it every day,

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.719
<v Speaker 1>but it's harder to eat to wake up and find

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 1>people that you know and love that are in it. Yes,

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and so a lot of are you seeing this? Are

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>you okay?

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 6>Am? I?

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, through COVID, through Trump, fascism, through the rise

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>of AI, all these other things that scare us connecting

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>with other people and being like, hey man, I'm a

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>fifty year old white guy, I live in the Burbs.

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>You're a forty three year old black woman, you live

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>in Houston, you're a older white woman who lives all.

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 6>Over the country. All types of people who all are

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 6>on Earth one. That's what we're going for.

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 5>And also something I realized too is when I talked

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 5>about it killing community, it also created community, but it

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 5>created a lot of toxic community for people.

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 4>So it's a lot of people that.

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 5>Were looking for community and couldn't found that positive community.

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 5>So they found a negative community because they wanted a community,

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 5>like like they wanted a.

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Group of like what happened with QAnon, Yes, what happed

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 2>my dad could not have happened without the pandemic happening

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 2>at the same time.

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 4>Yes, And so you have a collective of people.

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 5>It's like, Hey, I want to be a part of

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 5>a community so bad that I will sacrifice my morales,

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 5>I will sacrifice my humanity, I will seck, I will

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 5>do things that I normally would not do to be

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 5>a part of this community versus taking it and making

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 5>like you said, make something more positive out of it.

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 5>Because you're gonna end up in a community whether you

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.679
<v Speaker 5>want to be or not. I ain't not trying funny

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 5>you like you're gonna be in somebody's community. You're either

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 5>gonna be in the community somebody.

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.559
<v Speaker 4>Created for you or one did you create it for yourself.

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.680
<v Speaker 2>What was it like going from like stand up to

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 2>radio to your own podcast, because as you said, I

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 2>think community changes based on like being a stand up

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 2>comedian is almost like a lone wolf, right, you don't

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 2>you have followers and fans that you don't have to

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 2>create a community if you don't want to. You could

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.320
<v Speaker 2>be like, man, I just get up here and kill

0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 2>my joke, take my ass home. Radio is kind of

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>like a community because you your callers and stuff, but

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 2>you know they can be anywhere and all that stuff.

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 3>But sometimes you get regulars. But I feel like.

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 2>A podcast you start having a real community, Like these

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 2>are the people that are talking to you every week,

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 2>These are the people that are listening to you, These

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 2>are people that come out to events. So like it

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:19.960
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been different for you at different stages.

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean each stage that you mentioned just there is

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.960
<v Speaker 1>a huge chapter of my life that I could, you know,

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.080
<v Speaker 1>have fun talking about for a long time. But I

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 1>think the specifically to answer your question, I think live

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 1>radio builds community all the way back when I was

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>growing up when we were growing up, and I worked

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>at Here six M and so I worked with all

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the Howard Stern show guys and Arti Lang was Howard

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Stern's psychic and Arti Lang and I were really good friends,

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>and I was Arti Lang's opening act for years, and

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>during that time I was also hosting my own radio

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.680
<v Speaker 1>show and then opening for Artie. And I watched the

0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:58.959
<v Speaker 1>listeners of Howard Stern come up to him, you know,

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 1>after show or just on the street, and the way

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 1>they talk to him guys was like they knew him

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 1>and that he was their friend. And then we learned

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 1>there's a word for that, a parasocial relationship, where you

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>think your friends with the show host in this case.

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:16.319
<v Speaker 6>And I saw that and I was like, I want

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.840
<v Speaker 6>something similar. I want to create something similar.

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.959
<v Speaker 1>What I learned basically was if you're on the air

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>live the way I was and still am every day,

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.439
<v Speaker 1>and you share stuff about your personal life, if you're

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:31.079
<v Speaker 1>vulnerable on the air, you talk about your struggles, your suffering,

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 1>you make fun of yourself, it connects you with an

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.960
<v Speaker 1>audience in a way that nothing else can. The opposite

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 1>of that is overwhelming bravado and genius and brilliance, which

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 1>is what had so many of the right wing radio

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 1>show hosts of my day did and still do.

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 6>The great one Brain is on loan from God. Now

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 6>my show is like Pize's an idiot, let's do.

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.559
<v Speaker 1>My show was interviewing experts to say that and still

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>is the shortest way to explain it. But it created

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 1>the community live radio, old school you know, terrestrial radio,

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 1>satellite radio to a large too. And I think podcasts

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>are probably create that community even more niche, and I

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>think there's probably a safety element in it where you

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>actually start to get to know people.

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 6>You see them at virtual.

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Hangouts, you meet them and events, and I think there

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 1>can be like I have a deep personal relationship with

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>lots and lots of people who've been listening to my

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 1>show from Serious XM to now I mean hundreds of friends.

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I have a like just an embarrassment of riches of

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>people in my life.

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 6>And yet Roden Careen I get lonely.

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.079
<v Speaker 3>Too, we all do.

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:49.200
<v Speaker 2>I think also, like with podcasts, you opted for our

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 2>audio listeners, you got to go back to.

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 3>Minute mark.

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 2>But the I think also like podcasts is such an

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 2>opt in format and you have to find it too.

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.079
<v Speaker 3>That's what I mean. You have to want to get it.

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Like radio can be passive sometimes like not as much

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 2>so it's serious, like you gotta pay for that ship

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.560
<v Speaker 2>and then you start finding your channels and then that

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 2>become like who you fuck with.

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 4>But like.

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 3>A lot of stuff is just.

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Kind of like, oh, this is on TV, this on

0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.320
<v Speaker 2>A this is what I was listening to. I got

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 2>in the car. Podcast is like I want to find

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 2>your voice. So I feel like that's one of the

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.679
<v Speaker 2>reasons that the community gets so tight for podcasts.

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 4>Will.

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, for sure, I think it's true, though still

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 1>of a political radio show, it's a specific plan of

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>politics where you have as similar values as that person

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 1>on the right and the left or whatever else, conspiracy whatever.

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 1>But you're absolutely right. I think we can talk about,

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, the pros and cons of that. But for me,

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>it's just been who I never thought that, Mike. Because

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I started as a stand up comic, I was living,

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I lived my dreams. I did everything I wanted to

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>do in comedy, I really did, and I'm super proud

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 1>of everything I accomplished and my career in broadcasting, radio

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.320
<v Speaker 1>and television, and most importantly I'm proud of my girls.

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 1>My wife and I and are separated, but we have

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 1>an awesome relationship. My girls are eighteen or twenty one.

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm most proud of. But like to build

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 1>a community and to have that be basically my job,

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 1>and to try to maintain and nurture that community.

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.439
<v Speaker 6>It's really hard because I'm like the HR Department.

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 1>We don't have a lot of problems, but you know,

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and I try not have to get overly invested in them,

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and I try to see people connected. I try to

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 1>create a safe space, keep people connected to reality and

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>to our suffering as we help navigate it with.

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.320
<v Speaker 6>Each other, especially if we get older. You know, we're

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 6>just getting older. Is the real deal too?

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, how was it when you first got recognized? Because

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 5>you know, you're watching other people get recognized, but it's

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.319
<v Speaker 5>completely different when it's you, because I know it was

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 5>very different when it was me. When I was kind

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 5>of out in public as somebody yelp my name and

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 5>I had to look at them and I had to

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 5>go down my mental road to day I was like.

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I don't know you're here. I don't know here, here,

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't know here. Then they say I know you're

0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 4>from the show.

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Was like, oh, okay, well, well let's just talk about

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.440
<v Speaker 1>let's just talk about the racial component of that, which

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>is black people will overwhelmingly Black people have called black

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 1>people overwhelming because it's not like an Indian guy. Black

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 1>people in America will stop you and recognize you and

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 1>pay you really nice compliments, and you can almost see

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 1>it coming. It's often in an airport, white people will whisper,

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:30.160
<v Speaker 1>not bother It wouldn't it wouldn't be bothersome for a

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>white person stop me in react same way a black

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 1>person doesn't. But my first like you know, I would

0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 1>get from doing stand up to a certain extent after

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 1>shows and stuff like that. But that was like and A.

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 1>But once I started doing I started doing CNN every night.

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I was on at eight pm every night, Live on,

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and so during and and then after that year, I

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 1>was on TV a lot. But during that year and

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 1>after that year, for those those couple of years, I

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 1>was getting recognized like everywhere I went, and it.

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 6>Was mostly black folks who would say stuff.

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 1>And I love that, And I just want to talk

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>about why that is.

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Why I love this too.

0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 1>We're funny guys, think, but white people are more likely like, hey.

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 6>I think that's the good guy from seeing them James

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 6>Carvel or Daughtry Like it's either black people say hey.

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 3>Man, you're the guy.

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm like yes, and then I have a new friend

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 6>at the airport.

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 3>What were you doing on CNN?

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 6>Every day eight I did a Man on the Street segment.

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I got hired to do, like a like an Andy

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Rooney commentary piece at the end, that's what they wanted

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 1>me to do. But I'm not a good writer, so

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I could knew unless I had help, I couldn't write something.

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 6>Like that every night. That would be worse.

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 1>But I but I'm my other skill sets like hosting

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and talking to people, you know, interviewing people.

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 6>So I go, how about I do a man on

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 6>the Street thing?

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 1>So literally every morning I went into the streets of

0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>several cities in the country. CNN sent me all over

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>the place, and I put a microphone in people's face

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 1>like I was the original. Not the original. Sorry, there

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of people did Man on the Street

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 1>before me, but I was one of the first people

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 1>to really do it the way I did it on

0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 1>cable television. It was like twenty ten, but I did

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 1>it in a lighthearted way too. We cut it up,

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.200
<v Speaker 1>we edited it, and then at the end of and

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>then at night they would air at the end of

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the show to end the hour in kind of a

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 1>lighthearted note asking people on the streets.

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 6>Hear it, and it was called Pete on the Street.

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 6>Let's go to Pete on the Street.

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 1>And then John King, who was the host of the

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 1>show and hate laughing and comedy, he and I would

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>close it live. We would do would we would show

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 1>them show my Man on the Street piece, and then

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>he would go back to me, and then I would

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 1>give my daughter's a signal that they can go tonight

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:43.400
<v Speaker 1>on live TV.

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 6>They can go to bed dead.

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>He loves you, go to bed and then I would

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 1>talk to John and then they would throw to the

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>eight pm hour.

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 4>Man.

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 2>That's always interesting too, in the mix of comedy and

0:16:54.920 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 2>serious stuff. Like I'm a guest on this podcast Marvel's

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 2>in Nomadic University.

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 3>I love it. It's all nerd stuff. I love talking

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 3>to Marvel.

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:08.920
<v Speaker 2>But okay, so Howard Bryant is a guest on there

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:13.439
<v Speaker 2>sometimes too. Howard Bryan is a very studious, serious like writer,

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.840
<v Speaker 2>like he writes books about sports and race and he's

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 2>and when he's on there, the amount of effort I'm

0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.720
<v Speaker 2>putting into trying to get this motherfucker to laugh is insane.

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.479
<v Speaker 3>It is insane. I take it as a challenge because

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:30.200
<v Speaker 3>it is the mix.

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, he wants to come in here and be like, listen,

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 2>the very serious function of Galactus is about racial disparity.

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.680
<v Speaker 3>And I want to be like, oh, man, how big

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:40.160
<v Speaker 3>you think his underwear are? Whatever?

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Just to see if I can break this man. Did

0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 2>you take that challenge when you were working there?

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I to describe it because we would be live, you know,

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>when you're on the air with someone live like we

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:55.040
<v Speaker 1>are now. Like, I think my style at least is

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.679
<v Speaker 1>to throw the ball to you and hope that you

0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.320
<v Speaker 1>see it coming and hit it, like setting you up.

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm off in the setup guy, And I also think

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:06.119
<v Speaker 1>if you set me up, I better see it, catch it.

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:07.560
<v Speaker 6>And do what I need to do with it. To

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 6>continue the sports metaphor.

0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm on Live TV with John King, who God loved him.

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 1>He was real good to me and he does have

0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:15.639
<v Speaker 1>a great sense of humor, but he too had that

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.040
<v Speaker 1>issue where I don't think he ever really wanted to

0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 1>do that segment.

0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 6>He's a serious news man. I don't think he wanted

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 6>to report all the things he's reporting and throw this

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:26.199
<v Speaker 6>dumb dumb be fair. But I would set him up.

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 6>I'd throw him the ball.

0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm out, you know, via satellite outside always freezing my

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:32.439
<v Speaker 1>ass off, and he's in the studio in DC. I

0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:34.359
<v Speaker 1>was usually in New York, so I would throw him

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>the ball, guys, and it would just hit him in

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:36.640
<v Speaker 1>the chest and bounce off.

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:40.360
<v Speaker 3>Don't worry.

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 2>You being a correspondent on the street, What is up

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 2>with that one one to four second fucking delay?

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:50.679
<v Speaker 3>How have we not solved that?

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 6>Oh? Have we not? Really?

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:54.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that, but I can tell you,

0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 1>like being live on the street, the way that people

0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 1>come up to you is it's it's a lot worse

0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:04.439
<v Speaker 1>for women, but it's it can be really weird and

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:06.719
<v Speaker 1>it can make you feel uncomfortable, but it's mostly like

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.040
<v Speaker 1>when you're live, you're terrified someone's gonna like jump into

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 1>your shot.

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 6>Got worse. But one time, you, guys, this is true story.

0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 1>You could find the clip I was live on CNN

0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:22.280
<v Speaker 1>and Michael Richards, who played Kramer and Seinfeld, walks up

0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 1>into my live shot like, and I go, Michael Richards

0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:34.159
<v Speaker 1>is here, and then John interviewed him, but I had

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.119
<v Speaker 1>the earpiece so I had to like repeat the question.

0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.560
<v Speaker 6>But he was like, I don't want any problems or something,

0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:40.919
<v Speaker 6>I'll clip.

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy.

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 6>A lot of things happened, but that was the craziest

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 6>one that ever happened.

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 2>It's always it's always funny to me with the news

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:49.880
<v Speaker 2>because they're like, you know, we're gonna go to live

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:51.240
<v Speaker 2>on the scene to so and so, and it's always

0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 2>that like we're we're like everything else has been fixed,

0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 2>and we have a we have fucking like flyovers. You

0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 2>can send a drone and kill somebody in another country tonight,

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.520
<v Speaker 2>but we cannot stop the one fucking second delay. We

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:11.960
<v Speaker 2>can't edit that out in post or nothing. We just

0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 2>got to deal with this delay for the rest of

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 2>our life.

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, that's fucking crazy.

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 6>I don't know who's still got that delay. Who you're noticing?

0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:20.679
<v Speaker 6>You gotta. I mean, it happened, It does happen. But

0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 6>I local news.

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I was just on with Australian show earlier, celebrating New

0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Year's eat with them on an Australian news show, and

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I was just I was like, I can't believe there's

0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 1>no delay. We have such a strong connection, no delay

0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.159
<v Speaker 1>all the way to the bottom of the earth and back.

0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:39.960
<v Speaker 1>And I was also lying to their whole audience that

0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I was in Times Square. I was like, it was

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 1>just in my backyard.

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:45.919
<v Speaker 3>Where are you located in the United States?

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 6>Now, it's called Rockland County, New York.

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.000
<v Speaker 1>It's just north of New York City, on the border

0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:54.400
<v Speaker 1>of New Jersey and on the Hudson River, the beautiful

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Hudson Valley, New York.

0:20:56.640 --> 0:21:00.679
<v Speaker 2>And also I saw that you used to open for

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:02.200
<v Speaker 2>like The Daily Show and stuff too.

0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:05.199
<v Speaker 3>Is that is? What was that like? Was that was?

0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Is that like hard? Is it? Does it get repetitive likes?

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:09.520
<v Speaker 3>How's that work?

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 6>Oh? Man?

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, I was the audience warm up comedian for The

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Daily Show with John Stewart and then I did that

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 1>for about a.

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 6>Year, and then Stephen Colbert's show spun off.

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 1>He was a correspondent and they spun off the Colbert

0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Rapport and I went with Steven and did that show

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 1>for six years and then I left for CNN. But

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:33.879
<v Speaker 1>I did like eight years of radio audience warm up TV.

0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 1>But I had to get there is the interesting part

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to get the Daily Show and the Colbert. I also

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:40.920
<v Speaker 1>worked on John Oliver's show for three years last Week

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Tonight at HBO, So.

0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 6>I worked on all those shows.

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I've always been part of that kind of political comedy

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.320
<v Speaker 1>world and staff and family, and I created a channel

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 1>in that, in that image on serious XM. You know,

0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.399
<v Speaker 1>politics done by comedians right left. I didn't care what

0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:57.879
<v Speaker 1>you want. I just wanted to try to bring more

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:02.360
<v Speaker 1>entertainment to it. But those jobs were the greatest, man,

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:04.399
<v Speaker 1>those were the smartest shows in television, and they were

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the smartest audiences on television. They were young, they were diverse,

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:10.760
<v Speaker 1>they were experimenting in so many different ways.

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:14.120
<v Speaker 6>They were just brilliant writing staffs. And I was the fluffer.

0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I was the audience warm up comedian and it was

0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:19.320
<v Speaker 1>an amazing God. The money was amazing, first of all,

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:23.639
<v Speaker 1>but it wasn't repetitive because you couldn't be contrived. You

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:26.439
<v Speaker 1>couldn't make that audience think that you had done this before.

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:29.639
<v Speaker 6>I mean I did, but I usually.

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was all improv every night in front

0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 1>of this really smart audience.

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:34.359
<v Speaker 6>So it's really challenging.

0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:38.359
<v Speaker 1>It made me a much better comedian, smarter person also

0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 1>made me way more judgmental and sensitive.

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:43.400
<v Speaker 2>But when I did when I wrote for Game Theory

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 2>with Mionnie Jones Sidney Castillo sometimes with warm up the audience,

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 2>and they'd sometimes bring in comedians the warm up the audience,

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:52.840
<v Speaker 2>and it was so funny because like this there was

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 2>all these stand up comics on staff.

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:57.160
<v Speaker 3>There were writers and shit, and they always would be like.

0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Looking down on the idea of doing the warm up,

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 2>like they're like, I gotta fucking do that, and then

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:03.919
<v Speaker 2>they go out there and start doing their thing, and

0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like, this is like, I don't know why

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:09.440
<v Speaker 2>y'all are shitting on this. Not everybody can do this.

0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:12.439
<v Speaker 2>These people don't fucking know you. They're coming to have

0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.320
<v Speaker 2>an experience on this show. They're not even looking forward

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:17.680
<v Speaker 2>to you personally, like you kind of in the way.

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 4>Yes, they're like, okay for something else, and I'm getting.

0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Comedy, and like between between like different segments, you gotta

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 2>come back out there and be like, all right, guys,

0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:27.280
<v Speaker 2>we're about to do this.

0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 4>You know the warm up up.

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:31.919
<v Speaker 5>You got the plays because I've attended several of the

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.280
<v Speaker 5>live tapers and that's what happens. You have a comedian

0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 5>come out on you up, the host comes, they take

0:23:37.119 --> 0:23:38.879
<v Speaker 5>a break because you know, you're filming, and then they

0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 5>gotta be like, hey, y'all, we're taking.

0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:42.359
<v Speaker 4>A break of Hey y'all, something happened. It's a delay.

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:43.840
<v Speaker 4>Waka wa.

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:45.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I could, and so could other warm up comics. We

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:50.720
<v Speaker 1>could do a show just about warm up. At the

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 1>history of it, the different shows, Uh, it is really hard.

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:56.520
<v Speaker 1>You have to have a certain skill set, certain talent

0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 1>for it. Luckily I got to the point where I

0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 1>was working on the best shows, had the best guess,

0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the best audiences that people, you know, tickets were free,

0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 1>but there was always a long wait to get a

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:10.159
<v Speaker 1>ticket because the shows was such a big deal. So

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:12.600
<v Speaker 1>those audience came to laugh. They were comedy shows. But

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I worked on shows where the audience did not plan

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:20.959
<v Speaker 1>to be there that day, you know eight Sometimes they

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 1>were sometimes they were homeless. I asked the guy in

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:24.840
<v Speaker 1>the audience one time, I'm doing crowd work. That's what

0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:27.199
<v Speaker 1>you do and warm up. Where are you from? He

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 1>said outside? I go what brought you here?

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 6>That? He said?

0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:38.680
<v Speaker 1>They said there would be pizza. I mean, it can

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:41.159
<v Speaker 1>be really depressed and it can be really sad. The

0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:42.719
<v Speaker 1>one moment you talk about when you have to come

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:45.320
<v Speaker 1>back out. I usually didn't do that. I usually could

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:45.920
<v Speaker 1>get mental.

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:47.119
<v Speaker 6>Production staff to no.

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 1>It was so awkward to have to come back out

0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 1>during a break and try something new.

0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 6>I just I just couldn't so, but one time I

0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:55.399
<v Speaker 6>did have to do that.

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 1>This was on a show for the New York Yankees

0:24:57.600 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>television network in New York, and the episode of the

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:05.040
<v Speaker 1>show was called Captains, and they had on panel four

0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 1>of the most famous New York athletes ever Harry Carson,

0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 1>New York Giants, Michael Ruzzioni, New York Rangers, US Olympic

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 1>team to beat Russia, Derek Jeeter, Dom Mattingly, the Yankees.

0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:19.960
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I'm backstage with them.

0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:23.160
<v Speaker 1>These are my boyhod idols, especially the baseball players, and

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:26.639
<v Speaker 1>I introduced my dad to Yogi Bearra that night. It

0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:30.199
<v Speaker 1>was an amazing, magical night, but there was a production

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:32.920
<v Speaker 1>is shoot. There's a light lighting issue, and they go, Pete,

0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 1>get back out there. So I walk out and now

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm standing in front of these four legends trying to

0:25:38.560 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 1>get this audience's attention, like how why would you want

0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 1>to hear.

0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:44.680
<v Speaker 6>From this guy? They've never heard of me. I'm a monkey.

0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm just out there shuggling trying to make but I'm

0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 1>too smart for that. I'm like, I'm not going to

0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:54.399
<v Speaker 1>act like I can do anything to distract these people

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:56.200
<v Speaker 1>from those legends.

0:25:56.240 --> 0:26:00.560
<v Speaker 6>So I start to say, I'm gonna to these guys.

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's do a little Q and A with these guys

0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:05.960
<v Speaker 1>while you know, the lights are down and or while

0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:08.919
<v Speaker 1>the tech issue was being fixed. And that's when Don Maddingly,

0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:12.720
<v Speaker 1>whose poster I had as a twelve year old, who

0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I went to New York City's first time to see him,

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 1>sat on the first baseline whose rookie card I saved

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:21.240
<v Speaker 1>up to buy. He said, Dom Manley, my boyhood idle,

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:25.160
<v Speaker 1>yelled to me, Hey Derek, he goes, hey, Jeter doesn't

0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:26.159
<v Speaker 1>think you're funny.

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 3>Shit.

0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:29.800
<v Speaker 6>Oh no, Maddingly.

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Yelled to me that another New York legend didn't think

0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 1>it was funny. So these two guys are talking about me.

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I go, oh no, Derek, Jeter doesn't think I'm funny.

0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 1>All that matters to me right now is that my

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.920
<v Speaker 1>boyhood idol just said my other idol doesn't.

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:49.200
<v Speaker 4>This is right, yall know I exist.

0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:53.600
<v Speaker 1>And then in that moment I realize what my strategy

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be, and it was what I what every

0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:59.480
<v Speaker 1>comedian does. It doesn't matter who it is, it is

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:07.679
<v Speaker 1>time him to attack for Jeter's family. He was wearing

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:11.520
<v Speaker 1>a yellow suit. I go, I can't believe Derek Jeter

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:13.359
<v Speaker 1>is making fun of me. I would never want to

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:15.880
<v Speaker 1>say anything that would upset him, certainly not the fact

0:27:15.920 --> 0:27:17.560
<v Speaker 1>that he's dressed like a mustard packet.

0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 6>Oh fa.

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 3>No, that's that's hilarious man.

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:30.399
<v Speaker 2>It's it's also like such a vulnerable thing to be

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:33.240
<v Speaker 2>on the microphone talking in front of people, uh in

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 2>the first place. And I think, you know, especially in

0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 2>that situation, you kind of get a little bit of

0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:40.199
<v Speaker 2>a boost if you're a gamer, Like it's it's like,

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:42.119
<v Speaker 2>all right, I gotta get up for this. And like,

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:47.120
<v Speaker 2>it was so funny watching these you know, veteran comedians

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:50.119
<v Speaker 2>that at my job be like, oh, fucking normous and

0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:52.320
<v Speaker 2>then they just fucking turn it on like a muscles,

0:27:52.400 --> 0:27:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Like what the fuck?

0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:56.520
<v Speaker 5>You were just back here, And I was gonna ask

0:27:56.600 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 5>you that, as you've been on live TV, like ready,

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:03.760
<v Speaker 5>on all these other different things, what is what is

0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 5>it that drives you to continue to go like as

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 5>a muscle, because I didn't even realize I have.

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 4>A muscle for this.

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:11.560
<v Speaker 5>Because for those of you that don't realize, we you know,

0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:13.439
<v Speaker 5>we do Bottels Deep, which is our sports show with

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:15.920
<v Speaker 5>Justin and just one time Justin told me, he said,

0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:17.439
<v Speaker 5>you have a switch.

0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:18.360
<v Speaker 4>I said, what do you mean?

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:21.360
<v Speaker 5>He say, we could be casually talking and he said,

0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:24.400
<v Speaker 5>the second we go live, he say, it's just something

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:27.600
<v Speaker 5>kind of changes and all of a sudden, I don't.

0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't even realize I'm doing it.

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:32.159
<v Speaker 5>Like when is it that things became so automatic that

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 5>you go, okay, I can adjust to anybody.

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:35.840
<v Speaker 6>Well, it's a.

0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Very that's a great question and a very flattering suggestion

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 1>that that's a talent that I possessed.

0:28:41.240 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 6>But I think it is I can get to survival.

0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean I I definitely fashioned myself to be the

0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of comedian who could entertain any audience anywhere. So

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:55.720
<v Speaker 1>what corporate you know, gig at an industry event, or

0:28:56.160 --> 0:29:00.120
<v Speaker 1>you know all black people in Harlem, or Jewish like

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a synagogue or like even I used to do this

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 1>gig every summer, young kids at a synagogue. I'm not Jewish.

0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know anything about grown up Jewish or being

0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 1>in a second they had boys and one side girls.

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:12.520
<v Speaker 1>On the other side of it was religious. And I

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:13.960
<v Speaker 1>just went in there and did an impression of a

0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:16.040
<v Speaker 1>cat barfing, got my two hundred bucks and went home.

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to make money, so I made myself as

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:22.560
<v Speaker 1>adaptable and I want it and I love people, all people,

0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:24.280
<v Speaker 1>so I want to make everybody laugh. I want to

0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:27.520
<v Speaker 1>entertain everybody. And I also think, like you're the reason

0:29:27.680 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 1>why you have that quality, why anybody does, is because

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:32.760
<v Speaker 1>when the lights turn on when you go live, in

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>this case, there are people watching. We should be entertaining.

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 1>We should do our job. Our job is to entertain.

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I hate these people are like, you know.

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:40.560
<v Speaker 6>I don't want to promote my show, you know, I

0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 6>just wan like, no people.

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Are there because you have a microphone and there's a camera,

0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and you should use all of it and you should

0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:52.040
<v Speaker 1>be interesting and entertaining and smart or whatever or don't

0:29:52.080 --> 0:29:52.920
<v Speaker 1>waste people's time.

0:29:53.000 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 6>So that's the job.

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:56.880
<v Speaker 1>The lights go on when when you go live, be good,

0:29:57.040 --> 0:29:59.080
<v Speaker 1>be be interesting, be engaging.

0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:02.480
<v Speaker 5>If you want their money, because it's like, oh, people

0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:05.960
<v Speaker 5>are paying to be here or paying for whatever this

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:09.080
<v Speaker 5>thing is at a later date or yeah, we would

0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:11.360
<v Speaker 5>have everyone so while we'd have a podcast guest back

0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:13.760
<v Speaker 5>in the day who was like too cool for school. Yes,

0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 5>it's like, dude, you're fucking killing me, Like what are

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:17.720
<v Speaker 5>you doing?

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:18.040
<v Speaker 6>Man?

0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:20.240
<v Speaker 5>You're giving me nothing to work with and so not

0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:22.800
<v Speaker 5>time time because me and Roger got professionals. If you

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:25.040
<v Speaker 5>are a droughtwall, we will look at each other and

0:30:25.080 --> 0:30:26.240
<v Speaker 5>act like you ain't in the room.

0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we'll bounce.

0:30:27.280 --> 0:30:29.120
<v Speaker 2>We'll just bounce off each other if it gets that bad.

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 2>I remember once as a joke, though this was on purpose.

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:34.680
<v Speaker 2>This is when we were still experimenting with what is

0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:38.640
<v Speaker 2>a podcast? It's sixteen years ago, and my brother came

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:41.400
<v Speaker 2>on as a joke because we were like me and

0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:43.200
<v Speaker 2>here were riffing one day in real life and we

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 2>were like, dude, you know what fucking sucks rappers who

0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:50.320
<v Speaker 2>do radio interviews and they just fucking are so vague

0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:53.360
<v Speaker 2>because they're trying to be cool. I fucking hate I

0:30:53.400 --> 0:30:56.240
<v Speaker 2>was like, I love hip hop, I hate a rap interview.

0:30:56.520 --> 0:30:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Now it's changed over my lifetime because all these motherfuckers

0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 2>got old and they went to therapy, and now I

0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 2>opened up and ship. Now you just you know like

0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:05.480
<v Speaker 2>the method man is talking about depression and ship. But

0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:07.080
<v Speaker 2>back in the day, it used to be like, yeah,

0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:09.160
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying on me. And so one

0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:11.880
<v Speaker 2>time we have usual words. We had my brother come

0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:14.880
<v Speaker 2>on the show and pretend to be this rapper that

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:16.960
<v Speaker 2>we just made up the name like it was like

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 2>MC no name remember that years ago and.

0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 3>The audience guys, because we did. We didn't tell the

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:25.560
<v Speaker 3>audience it was a skit. They got so mad.

0:31:26.240 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 4>It was like, what is this ship?

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 3>And I was like it sucks. I was like, we

0:31:29.840 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 3>learned two lessons today.

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.440
<v Speaker 2>One that was much funnier to me and my brother

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:35.160
<v Speaker 2>than it was to everyone else.

0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:35.480
<v Speaker 3>Too.

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:37.600
<v Speaker 2>You gotta let the audience in on the joke because

0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 2>that was it was. It's still funny to me, but man,

0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:42.280
<v Speaker 2>that did not that did not rogue.

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 1>But it's also just like one of the coolest things

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>about working at Serio six M almost fifteen years but

0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I hosted a live show there, and at first it

0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:53.240
<v Speaker 1>was on the comedy channels, that was on the political channels.

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 6>Then it was on like this hybrid channel.

0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:57.320
<v Speaker 1>So I had all types of people coming in being

0:31:57.320 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 1>guests on the show and huge big name stars acts musicians,

0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:05.600
<v Speaker 1>comedians obviously, artist, journalists, politicians.

0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:07.040
<v Speaker 6>You name it. You know, anybody who's promoting any book.

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I got to interview everybody, and so I have a

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 1>billion stories just about that.

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:14.680
<v Speaker 6>But the point that I.

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Think is really, you know, relevant, when an actor or

0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 1>a rapper or a musician especially come in and they're

0:32:21.280 --> 0:32:23.560
<v Speaker 1>they're not interesting, It's like, yeah, because someone wrote your

0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 1>shit for you.

0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:28.720
<v Speaker 6>Yes, comedian isn't interesting. That's just sacris saying.

0:32:28.760 --> 0:32:30.880
<v Speaker 1>And here's no compassion to that guy because he's he

0:32:30.920 --> 0:32:31.440
<v Speaker 1>should be good.

0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:33.040
<v Speaker 6>He writes his own stuff. He's supposed to be able

0:32:33.080 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 6>to improv right, and be good in a woman.

0:32:35.080 --> 0:32:38.320
<v Speaker 1>But I was always so excited when someone came in,

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:42.120
<v Speaker 1>whether they were a big name or not, and they

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:44.320
<v Speaker 1>they could banter, they could play, they knew how to

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:45.280
<v Speaker 1>how to improv.

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:47.720
<v Speaker 6>And I just one quick one, and there's so many.

0:32:48.160 --> 0:32:51.600
<v Speaker 1>My favorite moment probably ever was the actor Jeffrey Tambour,

0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 1>who was in Larry Sanders Show and Arrested.

0:32:55.120 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 6>Development and so many other things.

0:32:57.560 --> 0:33:01.080
<v Speaker 1>One of the funniest guys ever in the moment and

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:04.280
<v Speaker 1>when you get him, he's just he's a master. So

0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:07.080
<v Speaker 1>he would those guys would come in and they didn't

0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:09.520
<v Speaker 1>know me. I knew them, but they would always test me.

0:33:09.640 --> 0:33:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Another example would be Norm McDonald or William Shatner or

0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Bob Sagett like coming in and boom boom, boom boom,

0:33:17.480 --> 0:33:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Hart like, oh, I knew him because he's a comic,

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 1>but like some of these guys, so they would test me.

0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 1>And once they knew I got the game, then we

0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:31.560
<v Speaker 1>danced right. The third time Tamboor comes in. He knows

0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:35.800
<v Speaker 1>that I know. The rule is comedy, don't matter who

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:41.280
<v Speaker 1>gets hurt, that's the rule. Top of the interview, he goes, Pete,

0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad to see that you're still here.

0:33:45.800 --> 0:33:46.760
<v Speaker 6>A little surprised.

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Why why are you saying that, Jeffrey, I mean, right

0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 1>away he said he opened the interview. I go, things

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:56.680
<v Speaker 1>are going great. I actually just launched this new channel.

0:33:56.720 --> 0:33:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I spearheaded it. It's going great. Things have not been

0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 1>going better. Why are you saying it like that?

0:34:01.080 --> 0:34:03.080
<v Speaker 6>He goes, no, no, no, I'm just surprised. I well,

0:34:03.080 --> 0:34:08.440
<v Speaker 6>why are you surprised? And he goes, because you're not good.

0:34:11.360 --> 0:34:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Off the top road and starting to show.

0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 6>Of the opening of the interview.

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:18.919
<v Speaker 1>No even he had to be there for another thirty

0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 1>minutes he said, you're not good. He was like, just

0:34:23.480 --> 0:34:27.200
<v Speaker 1>like such a pro move and such a it was

0:34:27.239 --> 0:34:30.239
<v Speaker 1>a test for me. And so many other people did

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:33.360
<v Speaker 1>that same thing right at the top because they didn't.

0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:34.319
<v Speaker 6>They needed to know if they could have fun.

0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 1>They didn't care at that point about what side they're

0:34:36.640 --> 0:34:38.080
<v Speaker 1>so famous this person or that person.

0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:39.279
<v Speaker 6>Jeff Goldbloom's another one.

0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean I could think of they just come in

0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:43.080
<v Speaker 1>and they play, and if you play with them, they're happening.

0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:44.759
<v Speaker 6>If you don't, by the way, they don't come back.

0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And they've been doing it so often. Some of

0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:48.680
<v Speaker 2>these people when they're promoting shit.

0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:50.680
<v Speaker 4>That just stuff gets boring, especially.

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Those guys who promote books because like if.

0:34:52.880 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you guys on this side of the

0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:57.040
<v Speaker 2>al I know fans, y'all might not know this, but

0:34:57.600 --> 0:34:59.719
<v Speaker 2>we get like pr releases and shit, and it's like

0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 2>so so has a book and they'll even send you

0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:05.719
<v Speaker 2>like here's the ten questions to ask and and like

0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:07.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, so it doesn't you don't even have to

0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:09.520
<v Speaker 2>read the book. You just go in and you ask

0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:13.279
<v Speaker 2>them some basically, so the economy, what's going on with that?

0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:16.360
<v Speaker 3>And it fucking sucks?

0:35:16.800 --> 0:35:20.520
<v Speaker 6>I don't. One of the suggested questions is, so the economy,

0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:21.120
<v Speaker 6>what is up?

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:24.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like Barron Allen. It's like Barron Allen. It's

0:35:24.840 --> 0:35:27.200
<v Speaker 2>just like, I know you have a joke about airplanes.

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:29.200
<v Speaker 2>It's like, so you've ever been on an airplane? It's

0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:31.040
<v Speaker 2>like where could this possibly go by?

0:35:31.080 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 4>It?

0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:34.840
<v Speaker 5>And the thing is, whenever Roger has authors on, he

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:37.560
<v Speaker 5>actually reads the books and they're shocked in surprised because

0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:38.279
<v Speaker 5>he's like.

0:35:38.520 --> 0:35:41.279
<v Speaker 4>These very in depth and deep questions. That's like, oh you.

0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:43.759
<v Speaker 2>It does take a lot longer for them to be

0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:46.359
<v Speaker 2>guessed though, because I'm like, I'm gonna read the shit.

0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:49.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna bullshit you. But maybe you gotta wait

0:35:49.320 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 2>a month come on the show. But you know, if

0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:57.319
<v Speaker 2>you give me an advanced copy, you know, hey, it's

0:35:57.320 --> 0:35:59.000
<v Speaker 2>still gonna line up with when it's time to sell

0:35:59.000 --> 0:35:59.440
<v Speaker 2>the books.

0:35:59.440 --> 0:35:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:35:59.680 --> 0:36:02.520
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I do like that stuff. But it's mostly

0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:04.760
<v Speaker 2>because I hate so many of these.

0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:07.479
<v Speaker 4>Generic r and they all sound the same.

0:36:07.480 --> 0:36:09.200
<v Speaker 2>They're just they're just doing the thing. They're holding up

0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:10.960
<v Speaker 2>the book to the camera and being like, so it's

0:36:11.000 --> 0:36:11.879
<v Speaker 2>a book about this.

0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:13.720
<v Speaker 6>I always try to be different.

0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I always try to make the guests my show, and

0:36:16.680 --> 0:36:18.120
<v Speaker 1>that's what I've been doing for years. I mean, you

0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:20.600
<v Speaker 1>should do three guests a day, five days a week.

0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Now I do one or two to day, but either

0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:24.279
<v Speaker 1>way you can see it's just like some of the

0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:27.719
<v Speaker 1>books behind me. I have thousands of books whose authors

0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:31.319
<v Speaker 1>I've had the great privilege to interview, and I love

0:36:31.360 --> 0:36:33.240
<v Speaker 1>it and I try to give them as much respect

0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:35.719
<v Speaker 1>as I can and the prep, but also I try

0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:38.799
<v Speaker 1>to give be different and make sure the audience isn't

0:36:38.840 --> 0:36:41.400
<v Speaker 1>bored by this subject matter this guest, because a lot

0:36:41.440 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of times the guest is a real good writer, right,

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:45.000
<v Speaker 1>a journalist, but not.

0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:46.799
<v Speaker 6>A good.

0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:51.240
<v Speaker 5>I've heard terrible interviews, like you're writing it's beautiful.

0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:53.400
<v Speaker 2>But I'm not gonna say no names, man, But like

0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I was one time, I was in a situation where

0:36:57.239 --> 0:37:00.319
<v Speaker 2>I was so disappointed because I read this book and

0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:03.319
<v Speaker 2>this dude was so fucking funny. I was like, oh

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:06.600
<v Speaker 2>my like crying, laughing reading this book and it's like, oh,

0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:07.479
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna be here today.

0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh shit, this is fucking but he was.

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:13.120
<v Speaker 2>He didn't have the he didn't have the gift of gab.

0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:14.480
<v Speaker 2>He had the book, the gift.

0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:17.399
<v Speaker 4>Of right, And I was like that this.

0:37:17.360 --> 0:37:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Interview would be awesome if you could like maybe type

0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:22.280
<v Speaker 2>out a page and then come back in ten minutes

0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:23.080
<v Speaker 2>and then say.

0:37:22.880 --> 0:37:25.040
<v Speaker 3>To answer to this question. But like, right now, I

0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:26.440
<v Speaker 3>just want to fucking jump out.

0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:29.279
<v Speaker 2>The studio and go to commercial and never come back

0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:31.879
<v Speaker 2>and just pretended to like, this is not selling your book.

0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:35.040
<v Speaker 2>This is on getting your book return. No one's believing

0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:37.480
<v Speaker 2>me when I'm like, no, this guy fucking Lyris. You

0:37:37.520 --> 0:37:38.840
<v Speaker 2>guys got to read the book. Okay, you know what,

0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:41.600
<v Speaker 2>shut up, let me read your book. Okay, but yeah,

0:37:41.600 --> 0:37:44.200
<v Speaker 2>it is the worst. How'd you grow up?

0:37:44.320 --> 0:37:48.640
<v Speaker 3>Like? Were you in the theater? Were you into sports? Like?

0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:48.960
<v Speaker 1>What did you?

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:52.040
<v Speaker 3>How'd you grow up and get into this lane of entertainment?

0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Uh?

0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:54.840
<v Speaker 6>I was into everything.

0:37:55.239 --> 0:37:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I was a social butterfly, but I was both a

0:37:57.200 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 1>jock and a theater kid. I went from lacross practice

0:37:59.480 --> 0:38:02.239
<v Speaker 1>to play with her. I did the morning announcements, that's

0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 1>very rare. I was ski club president, student government president.

0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:08.359
<v Speaker 1>I made it my business to know everybody. I never

0:38:08.360 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 1>missed a day as school. I did the morning announcements

0:38:11.480 --> 0:38:14.080
<v Speaker 1>like my junior and senior year. I hosted the talent

0:38:14.120 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 1>show my junior and senior year. It was a graduating

0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:18.759
<v Speaker 1>class like five hundred upstate New York outside Syracuse, a

0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:24.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty pre rural area, almost entirely white Christian, so very

0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:26.160
<v Speaker 1>homogeneous and very country.

0:38:26.680 --> 0:38:29.680
<v Speaker 6>And I grew up that way. My dad grew up

0:38:29.680 --> 0:38:30.680
<v Speaker 6>in the city of Syracuse.

0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:33.560
<v Speaker 1>My mom was a public school teacher in the city

0:38:33.600 --> 0:38:36.200
<v Speaker 1>of Syracuse. But there's two types of people who become comedians.

0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:38.680
<v Speaker 1>My theory, if I want to be so binary, those

0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 1>who didn't get enough hugs and seek it out and

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:44.040
<v Speaker 1>those who had too many hugs and seek constant love.

0:38:44.280 --> 0:38:46.439
<v Speaker 1>I had constant love in my home growing up, and

0:38:46.520 --> 0:38:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't change that or trade that for the world.

0:38:49.000 --> 0:38:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe makes it harder to establish resilience when you struggle

0:38:51.920 --> 0:38:52.440
<v Speaker 1>when you're.

0:38:52.239 --> 0:38:53.040
<v Speaker 6>Older, I've found.

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:56.239
<v Speaker 1>But my parents are still alive and still love me

0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:58.680
<v Speaker 1>and are still super proud of me, and so I

0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:00.880
<v Speaker 1>think I've always kind of s album.

0:39:00.880 --> 0:39:04.080
<v Speaker 3>But it is weird. It is weird having good parents.

0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:04.560
<v Speaker 6>It is.

0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think it would be weird, But the older

0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:09.560
<v Speaker 2>I get, the weirder that I see it is because

0:39:09.760 --> 0:39:12.080
<v Speaker 2>there's so many people that are just like, oh man,

0:39:12.080 --> 0:39:14.120
<v Speaker 2>my parents fucking suck, right, don't they all suck? They're

0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:16.919
<v Speaker 2>just the god damn worse. Oh Thanksgiving shit, I gotta

0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:19.200
<v Speaker 2>fucking see these motherfuckers get And I'm.

0:39:19.040 --> 0:39:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Just like, I'm not gonna say anything because it's just gonna.

0:39:21.239 --> 0:39:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Feel like I'm either rubbing it in or being trying

0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:26.480
<v Speaker 2>to be contrarian. You know, this is not when we

0:39:26.480 --> 0:39:28.360
<v Speaker 2>were growing up and there were movies about this. It

0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:29.960
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to be like a cool time.

0:39:30.120 --> 0:39:32.560
<v Speaker 3>But it is cool for me. But I'm sorry it's

0:39:32.560 --> 0:39:33.239
<v Speaker 3>not cool for you.

0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:37.239
<v Speaker 2>But you're right, a lot of funny people, I feel

0:39:37.280 --> 0:39:39.680
<v Speaker 2>like it's all like h coping.

0:39:39.320 --> 0:39:42.520
<v Speaker 3>Mechanism or trauma response or whatever.

0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of my humor comes from when

0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:48.160
<v Speaker 2>my parents would argue. I would kind of be this

0:39:48.200 --> 0:39:50.640
<v Speaker 2>weird mediator between them, and.

0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:52.680
<v Speaker 3>I think that's like how it's like. But if we're

0:39:52.719 --> 0:39:54.239
<v Speaker 3>all laughing, nobody's mad.

0:39:54.480 --> 0:39:58.279
<v Speaker 6>You know, it's always interesting, weird. You're dancing in the

0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:00.440
<v Speaker 6>corner distracted that too.

0:40:00.520 --> 0:40:04.279
<v Speaker 1>My brother my dad had some issues, but more than

0:40:04.360 --> 0:40:06.200
<v Speaker 1>anything else. And I think the answer to your question,

0:40:06.480 --> 0:40:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't quite like why humor. I was tiny, little fella.

0:40:12.800 --> 0:40:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I was the smallest person in my class for sure,

0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:19.879
<v Speaker 1>and almost every year, including high school when it really mattered,

0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:22.640
<v Speaker 1>especially to boys. Junior high and in high school, I

0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:22.960
<v Speaker 1>went to.

0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:25.680
<v Speaker 6>Pretty late and lost my hair early, which was a

0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:29.719
<v Speaker 6>bit my actual year. Shit, And yeah, the simp, thank you,

0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:31.120
<v Speaker 6>thank you for the right.

0:40:34.160 --> 0:40:34.399
<v Speaker 1>God.

0:40:35.160 --> 0:40:38.279
<v Speaker 6>What kind of a god would do that.

0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I was small and so being small, you know, and

0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:44.040
<v Speaker 1>wanting to people to like me, and also just as

0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:47.400
<v Speaker 1>a protection mechanism as a boy to not be bullied

0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:51.359
<v Speaker 1>by their boys if if they bullied me, you know,

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:54.080
<v Speaker 1>they were all they could beat me in a in

0:40:54.080 --> 0:40:57.239
<v Speaker 1>a fight, and I got beat up plenty, but they

0:40:57.360 --> 0:40:59.560
<v Speaker 1>were more likely to want to be friends with me

0:41:00.520 --> 0:41:04.080
<v Speaker 1>than to suffer my verbals, so I would be I

0:41:04.080 --> 0:41:07.080
<v Speaker 1>would take them down. And also my brother was bullied,

0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:09.400
<v Speaker 1>My older brother was bullied, and I watched that happen.

0:41:09.440 --> 0:41:11.239
<v Speaker 6>It's very much a part of who I.

0:41:11.200 --> 0:41:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Am today why I'm very much into righteousness and justice

0:41:15.480 --> 0:41:17.399
<v Speaker 1>and equal rights and human rights and civil rights.

0:41:17.440 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 6>I mean because it started with my brother being.

0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Bullied, and he was also got radicalized by Noam Chomsky

0:41:22.960 --> 0:41:25.080
<v Speaker 1>and made me like an anti racist, anti sexist when

0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I was younger. I'm still racist and sexist, don't get

0:41:27.000 --> 0:41:28.760
<v Speaker 1>me wrong, but I understand the idea, and I'm trying

0:41:28.760 --> 0:41:31.440
<v Speaker 1>not to be all the time, especially against Malaysians.

0:41:31.440 --> 0:41:33.200
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if you meant any Dominicans either.

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know many, but you know, I mean, I

0:41:37.680 --> 0:41:40.120
<v Speaker 2>can I can be talking to being racist against people

0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:40.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:41:40.760 --> 0:41:42.960
<v Speaker 3>I think that's the easiest way, is if you know him.

0:41:43.000 --> 0:41:44.120
<v Speaker 3>It's harder to be racist.

0:41:44.360 --> 0:41:45.360
<v Speaker 4>It is.

0:41:46.200 --> 0:41:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I lived in a Dominican neighborhood and I didn't know

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:52.319
<v Speaker 1>anything about them, and then I learned and not all I.

0:41:52.320 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 6>Needed, and I was out of there because the music horrible.

0:42:00.400 --> 0:42:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh you had you can't? You can't? Is it that

0:42:02.520 --> 0:42:03.160
<v Speaker 3>you can't dance?

0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:03.439
<v Speaker 6>Pete?

0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:04.480
<v Speaker 3>Is that we're gonna find out?

0:42:04.640 --> 0:42:06.120
<v Speaker 4>Let us know you got two left feet?

0:42:06.480 --> 0:42:08.879
<v Speaker 2>It is the Dominican music to too. Is it too

0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 2>much for you?

0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:11.400
<v Speaker 6>I'll have you know, m h.

0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:15.840
<v Speaker 1>If there's a dance floor, I'll have everybody in a

0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:20.319
<v Speaker 1>circle around me. Which is another early of me as

0:42:20.320 --> 0:42:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a performer roller skating parties. Dance in the middle of

0:42:23.840 --> 0:42:27.959
<v Speaker 1>the gym. The whole entire class was watching me break dance.

0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I made it my business for everybody to know who

0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I was. I was the center of attention whenever I

0:42:32.600 --> 0:42:35.680
<v Speaker 1>could be, and I used that, like I say, a

0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:36.520
<v Speaker 1>skill set.

0:42:36.480 --> 0:42:37.160
<v Speaker 6>To punch up.

0:42:37.200 --> 0:42:40.760
<v Speaker 1>So when the bullies were in my age and younger

0:42:41.040 --> 0:42:47.040
<v Speaker 1>bullying kids who are nonconformist artists, whatever, I would crush

0:42:47.080 --> 0:42:47.920
<v Speaker 1>those kids.

0:42:47.719 --> 0:42:50.920
<v Speaker 6>Right were my friends already, so I just had it. Recently.

0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm still very good friends Loud. I got my buddies

0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:56.840
<v Speaker 1>from high school. And one of the biggest meanest jocks

0:42:56.960 --> 0:42:59.560
<v Speaker 1>he said I was mean to him in high school.

0:43:00.040 --> 0:43:01.799
<v Speaker 1>I go, well, you probably deserved it. You would probably

0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:04.919
<v Speaker 1>be mean to me or somebody else, marginalizing somebody else,

0:43:05.280 --> 0:43:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and he goes, you don't understand. I go, what, this

0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:10.879
<v Speaker 1>guy's still like six', five good looking, guy very, successful

0:43:11.040 --> 0:43:12.200
<v Speaker 1>and he, goes you.

0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:14.200
<v Speaker 6>Called me disproportionate body.

0:43:14.200 --> 0:43:19.319
<v Speaker 5>Boy he remembered that that.

0:43:20.840 --> 0:43:22.080
<v Speaker 4>You sketched that on that man's.

0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:26.600

<v Speaker 5>That that's hilarious and for me AND i SOMETIMES i

0:43:35.440 --> 0:43:40.480
<v Speaker 5>think about me And. Roger roger actually helped me get into.

0:43:40.520 --> 0:43:44.120
<v Speaker 5>COMEDY i feel bad For roger BECAUSE i grew up

0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:48.360
<v Speaker 5>in a non funny, Household like literally everything was, serious.

0:43:48.040 --> 0:43:50.040
<v Speaker 4>Everything was taking the heart like all that.

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:53.480
<v Speaker 5>Stuff so When roger's first started dating, me he actually

0:43:53.560 --> 0:43:55.839
<v Speaker 5>had to be, like, hey calm, down it's a. Joke

0:43:56.080 --> 0:43:58.439
<v Speaker 5>like he actually actually had to do that several, times

0:43:58.480 --> 0:44:00.600
<v Speaker 5>and father was, like, oh, oh you're not.

0:44:00.760 --> 0:44:04.120
<v Speaker 2>SERIOUSLY i THINK i think one of the STILL i

0:44:04.160 --> 0:44:06.800
<v Speaker 2>still live by THE i still live by THIS u

0:44:07.960 --> 0:44:12.400
<v Speaker 2>comedy only really works in safety when you feel. Safe

0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:14.520
<v Speaker 2>i'm not saying you are, safe BECAUSE i don't think

0:44:14.560 --> 0:44:17.839
<v Speaker 2>anything safe in comedy just one fucking thing and you're, Like, god,

0:44:17.920 --> 0:44:22.240
<v Speaker 2>damn fuck that one. Up but the idea we're, collaborating

0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:25.799
<v Speaker 2>you're you're in a place where the intentions are good

0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:28.640
<v Speaker 2>and we're having that's it's hard to build that with,

0:44:28.719 --> 0:44:31.399
<v Speaker 2>people but once you build, IT i, mean it's basically it's,

0:44:31.400 --> 0:44:31.920
<v Speaker 2>sacred you.

0:44:31.960 --> 0:44:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Know like AND i think.

0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Speak to the different cultures of, comedy AND i would

0:44:40.520 --> 0:44:44.480
<v Speaker 1>talk about three in, particular like kind of white boy

0:44:44.520 --> 0:44:49.200
<v Speaker 1>comedy like WHERE i grew, Up jewish, comedy and black.

0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Comedy we can do, gender BUT i don't think it

0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:54.359
<v Speaker 1>really changes any of these things BECAUSE i think it's

0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:57.279
<v Speaker 1>more about the. Culture AND i can see to each

0:44:57.320 --> 0:45:00.239
<v Speaker 1>Of my opinion of each of those genres, is But

0:45:00.280 --> 0:45:00.839
<v Speaker 1>i'll just say.

0:45:00.840 --> 0:45:03.400
<v Speaker 6>THIS i grew up in my, culture.

0:45:03.360 --> 0:45:05.160
<v Speaker 1>The homogeneous culture THAT i grew up in the eighties

0:45:05.160 --> 0:45:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and nineties And Upstate New. York LIKE i, said, white Mostly,

0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:11.440
<v Speaker 1>christian very little. Diversity AND i was exposed to more

0:45:11.480 --> 0:45:13.640
<v Speaker 1>diversity because my mom was a public school, teacher and

0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:16.319
<v Speaker 1>cousins who were mixed, race and a couple of other

0:45:16.360 --> 0:45:19.840
<v Speaker 1>experiences my parents luckily put me. Into but, mostly you,

0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:21.640
<v Speaker 1>know pretty much just, SO i grew up with that,

0:45:21.880 --> 0:45:25.080
<v Speaker 1>humor which is still within itself. Diverse six of my

0:45:25.120 --> 0:45:28.760
<v Speaker 1>closest friends were all funnier than, me funny, guys really funny.

0:45:28.800 --> 0:45:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Guys then there was another tier guys who were also,

0:45:30.600 --> 0:45:32.239
<v Speaker 1>funny but not as funny as. Us and then there

0:45:32.280 --> 0:45:33.600
<v Speaker 1>was the other guys that tried to be but they.

0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Weren't THEN i went to college and that's WHEN i

0:45:39.160 --> 0:45:40.520

0:45:40.520 --> 0:45:43.520
<v Speaker 1>i became a student of. Comedy and in COLLEGE i

0:45:43.680 --> 0:45:46.000
<v Speaker 1>met a lot of gay, people On jewish people out

0:45:46.000 --> 0:45:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Of hispanic, people BUT i gravitated towards black, people and

0:45:50.760 --> 0:45:51.080
<v Speaker 1>it was.

0:45:51.160 --> 0:45:52.879
<v Speaker 6>Because of humor.

0:45:53.560 --> 0:45:56.360

<v Speaker 2>Laugh but as with all things, too there's also the

0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:52.880
<v Speaker 2>curve the other, way, right there's like the bounce that

0:47:52.920 --> 0:47:55.399
<v Speaker 2>you get off of, it because it's it's like white

0:47:55.440 --> 0:47:57.759
<v Speaker 2>people being good at anything that black people feel like

0:48:14.520 --> 0:48:18.200
<v Speaker 1>audience but black people have the righteous like opinion of,

0:48:18.280 --> 0:48:22.160
<v Speaker 1>like why WOULD i laugh at? You, yeah and so

0:48:22.920 --> 0:48:25.360
<v Speaker 1>and and it's also true for black comics.

0:48:25.360 --> 0:48:25.880
<v Speaker 6>Too don't get me.

0:48:25.920 --> 0:48:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Wrong it's certain of a white comic walks in front

0:48:28.120 --> 0:48:30.560
<v Speaker 1>of the black, room but if a black, comic black

0:48:30.600 --> 0:48:32.640
<v Speaker 1>people are just as afraid to perform in front Black.

0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:34.880
<v Speaker 6>Everybody knows what happens when you when you bomb in

0:48:34.920 --> 0:48:37.280
<v Speaker 6>front of a black, audience it. Happens it's the, worst

0:48:37.840 --> 0:48:38.560
<v Speaker 6>and it hurts real.

0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:39.719
<v Speaker 3>Bad it's the.

0:48:39.800 --> 0:48:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Worst white audiences are far less, verbal more, patient but

0:48:45.640 --> 0:48:48.839
<v Speaker 1>the true you just, said the bounce if you if

0:48:48.840 --> 0:48:50.799
<v Speaker 1>you're a white person or a black, person but if

0:48:50.840 --> 0:48:52.759
<v Speaker 1>you're any, comic but especially if you're a white gyle

0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:55.719
<v Speaker 1>say it seems a little better to make other people

0:48:55.760 --> 0:48:57.719

0:51:14.160 --> 0:51:16.200
<v Speaker 2>any group like you.

0:51:16.360 --> 0:51:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Have like THAT'S i think it's fair to say that

0:51:19.680 --> 0:51:21.560
<v Speaker 1>that that's a lot of truth to why The jewish

0:51:21.560 --> 0:51:25.000
<v Speaker 1>community in The black community, right are so funny and

0:51:25.239 --> 0:51:28.920
<v Speaker 1>obviously art comes out of not always not always out of,

0:51:28.920 --> 0:51:31.080
<v Speaker 1>suffering but a lot of times out of suffering obviously

0:51:31.120 --> 0:51:32.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the best. ART i usually Think i'm

0:51:32.680 --> 0:51:34.040
<v Speaker 1>never gonna be a great comedian BECAUSE i had a

0:51:34.080 --> 0:51:35.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of privilege AND i had a good, childhood AND

0:51:35.560 --> 0:51:38.200
<v Speaker 1>i was always, LIKE i always felt Like i'm a good,

0:51:38.200 --> 0:51:40.279

0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:49.320
<v Speaker 1>louvor suicide Or i'm just like all the, worse you,

0:51:49.360 --> 0:51:52.799
<v Speaker 1>Know BUT i think, that, yeah human suffering is where

0:51:52.840 --> 0:51:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times the lotus flower grows out of the,

0:51:55.680 --> 0:51:57.560
<v Speaker 1>mud and so did the, jokes and people have.

0:51:57.680 --> 0:51:58.560
<v Speaker 6>Studied that pretty.

0:51:58.560 --> 0:52:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Well but it's also like through solidarity, Too and you,

0:52:02.040 --> 0:52:04.279
<v Speaker 1>know that's like hanging out with all those black guys in,

0:52:04.280 --> 0:52:08.560
<v Speaker 1>College like they taught me a kind of humor and

0:52:08.560 --> 0:52:11.400
<v Speaker 1>a brand and almost a way to, laugh a way to,

0:52:11.440 --> 0:52:16.000
<v Speaker 1>react facial, expressions, noises you name, it AND i couldn't

0:52:16.040 --> 0:52:20.440
<v Speaker 1>LIKE i never wanted to, appropriate But i'm SURE.

0:52:20.280 --> 0:52:22.279

0:52:22.320 --> 0:52:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Bit BUT i, think like so appropriation has gotten like

0:52:26.400 --> 0:52:29.959
<v Speaker 2>a weird rep BECAUSE i DON'T i think some stuff isn't.

0:52:30.000 --> 0:52:33.719
<v Speaker 3>Appropriation it's like cross. CULTURAL i agree with.

<v Speaker 6>YOU i agree with. YOU i mean LIKE i didn't

0:52:35.920 --> 0:52:38.040

0:53:02.200 --> 0:53:04.759
<v Speaker 1>the WAY i dressed versus the way that all the

0:53:04.760 --> 0:53:08.080
<v Speaker 1>black eyes dressed in nineteen ninety five three to ninety

0:53:08.080 --> 0:53:10.640

<v Speaker 1>taking shots at each other in the most brutal, ways

0:57:53.240 --> 0:57:56.400
<v Speaker 1>BUT i give myself credit for diving into people who

0:57:56.400 --> 0:57:59.160
<v Speaker 1>weren't like, me always the case the gay, Community jewish.

0:57:59.160 --> 0:58:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Community i've always been more interested in them than the

0:58:01.800 --> 0:58:04.400
<v Speaker 1>PEOPLE i came. From to a certain, extent you're not

0:58:04.440 --> 0:58:06.200
<v Speaker 1>as interested in the people you come. From and to another,

0:58:06.280 --> 0:58:07.040
<v Speaker 1>extent white people.

0:58:07.040 --> 0:58:08.720
<v Speaker 6>Are they can be.

0:58:08.760 --> 0:58:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Boring, yeah well they're kind of, default, right salt and pepperty,

0:58:11.840 --> 0:58:14.120
<v Speaker 2>taste they're they're the you, know it's, like who doesn't

0:58:14.520 --> 0:58:17.640
<v Speaker 2>even for? Us, right we have to know white culture

0:58:17.720 --> 0:58:20.640
<v Speaker 2>to move in and out Of. America so it's like

0:58:21.120 --> 0:58:23.600
<v Speaker 2>it's like more of a survival, skill, like, yeah you gotta,

0:58:23.640 --> 0:58:26.320
<v Speaker 2>know you, know like you'll see this often with certain,

0:58:26.320 --> 0:58:28.440
<v Speaker 2>People like people will be, like you know the secret

0:58:28.480 --> 0:58:30.080
<v Speaker 2>to such and, such and like WHAT i know how

0:58:30.120 --> 0:58:32.720
<v Speaker 2>to talk to these white. People it's just, like hey,

0:58:32.760 --> 0:58:35.480
<v Speaker 2>man it's a valuable, skill but you, know it's not

0:58:35.600 --> 0:58:39.320
<v Speaker 2>necessarily something a white person has to have in other

0:58:39.400 --> 0:58:42.160
<v Speaker 2>areas unless they decide to go into those. Areas like you,

0:58:42.560 --> 0:58:44.240
<v Speaker 2>like if you just, Decide i'm staying in my.

0:58:44.320 --> 0:58:45.040
<v Speaker 3>Pond i'm never.

0:58:45.120 --> 0:58:48.520
<v Speaker 2>LEAVING i can be a mainstream success without ever really

0:58:49.760 --> 0:58:51.160
<v Speaker 2>trying to explore other.

0:58:51.240 --> 0:58:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Areas but once, again once you step out of.

0:58:54.880 --> 0:58:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Those, areas it does behoove you to know how to

0:58:57.360 --> 0:58:58.640
<v Speaker 2>talk to other people.

0:59:01.280 --> 0:59:04.960
<v Speaker 1>The simplest way to illustrate what you just said is

0:59:05.600 --> 0:59:08.880
<v Speaker 1>we could you could do a segment as guests on

0:59:08.920 --> 0:59:11.520
<v Speaker 1>my show WHERE i take callers and, say ask black

0:59:11.520 --> 0:59:13.880
<v Speaker 1>people a, question and white people would call in and

0:59:13.880 --> 0:59:14.440
<v Speaker 1>ask all.

0:59:14.360 --> 0:59:16.720
<v Speaker 6>Kinds of, fun, ignorant maybe racist.

0:59:16.760 --> 0:59:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Questions but you would never be me on your show

0:59:20.400 --> 0:59:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and be, like black people ask white people a? Questions

0:59:23.080 --> 0:59:27.400
<v Speaker 1>could you already know the answer than we? Do you

0:59:27.480 --> 0:59:31.040
<v Speaker 1>know the answer better than we do about. Us if

0:59:31.080 --> 0:59:34.680
<v Speaker 1>you were, like do white people watch their? Legs i'd be, LIKE, i,

0:59:34.680 --> 0:59:39.280
<v Speaker 1>HONESTLY i don't. Know IF i don't, know, yeah the

0:59:39.360 --> 0:59:40.360
<v Speaker 1>answer is, no you missed.

0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:45.360
<v Speaker 2>It just because you wash your legs doesn't, Okay we've.

0:59:45.360 --> 0:59:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Done black people have to know if you're the we're

0:59:49.360 --> 0:59:50.160
<v Speaker 1>not supposed use to the word.

0:59:50.240 --> 0:59:50.919
<v Speaker 6>Minority i'm toldy.

0:59:50.960 --> 0:59:53.920
<v Speaker 1>More but if you're the minority in a, room you

0:59:53.960 --> 0:59:55.480
<v Speaker 1>need to be able to protect. Yourself so you need

0:59:55.520 --> 0:59:57.520
<v Speaker 1>to know who's in the room and what they might.

0:59:57.520 --> 0:59:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Do women know more about, Men black people know more

0:59:59.680 --> 1:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>about white people to protect themselves from generations of.

1:00:05.240 --> 1:00:07.480
<v Speaker 6>PREDATION i, MEAN i don't think that's breaking any new.

1:00:07.480 --> 1:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>GROUND i don't think that's a genius, thing BUT i

1:00:08.960 --> 1:00:10.919

<v Speaker 2>Buddy, yeah, racism we love.

1:04:37.760 --> 1:04:40.720
<v Speaker 3>It it's given us so.

1:04:40.800 --> 1:04:40.960
<v Speaker 6>Much.

1:04:41.160 --> 1:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Uh, now what about with politics and, comedy BECAUSE i feel, like,

1:04:46.280 --> 1:04:50.400
<v Speaker 2>uh there's definitely been a tightening of the like political

1:04:50.560 --> 1:04:51.760
<v Speaker 2>like what what what can we?

1:04:51.840 --> 1:04:52.880
<v Speaker 4>Love we're doing?

1:04:52.960 --> 1:04:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Here like don't you?

1:04:54.240 --> 1:04:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Know over the, Years AND i think a lot of

1:04:56.120 --> 1:04:58.240
<v Speaker 2>that's because the advent of social. MEDIA i always THINK

1:04:58.520 --> 1:05:02.320
<v Speaker 2>i always say bloggers and stand up comedians were like

1:05:02.400 --> 1:05:05.160
<v Speaker 2>the worst fucking Ben diagram to ever, meet because it's

1:05:05.200 --> 1:05:08.680
<v Speaker 2>like two myopic people that are, like only my point

1:05:08.720 --> 1:05:11.160
<v Speaker 2>of view is, valid and then they're both just shitting

1:05:11.160 --> 1:05:13.320
<v Speaker 2>on each other and it JUST i feel like that

1:05:13.480 --> 1:05:16.160
<v Speaker 2>just bloomed into the Entire internet, now and that's kind

1:05:16.160 --> 1:05:18.880
<v Speaker 2>of like a lot of the. Culture it's definitely not

1:05:19.000 --> 1:05:21.880
<v Speaker 2>that way in the, room, Right, so like you go

1:05:21.960 --> 1:05:24.840
<v Speaker 2>to a stand up comedy special or just, whatever just

1:05:24.840 --> 1:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>stand up comedy in your, area it doesn't feel like.

1:05:27.400 --> 1:05:30.120
<v Speaker 2>That it's not tight like. That but a lot of

1:05:30.160 --> 1:05:33.040
<v Speaker 2>the way we consume comedy now is not in the room.

1:05:33.040 --> 1:05:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Anymore it's for everyone outside the. Room so like going

1:05:36.880 --> 1:05:40.920
<v Speaker 2>into politics after coming out of, comedy did you feel

1:05:40.920 --> 1:05:43.040
<v Speaker 2>that tightening do you feel it loosening it?

1:05:43.120 --> 1:05:45.040
<v Speaker 3>Back is like how does it feel to you?

1:05:45.120 --> 1:05:45.360
<v Speaker 6>Now?

1:05:47.080 --> 1:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Ah such a really important question and end conversation to.

1:05:52.080 --> 1:05:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Have BUT i MEAN i generally have always felt like

1:05:54.920 --> 1:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that has been. OVERBLOWN i feel like

1:05:59.080 --> 1:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the main prime rule of comedy is still the, truth

1:06:03.080 --> 1:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>which is don't punch. Down the greats didn't really do.

1:06:08.560 --> 1:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>That you, Know George carlin didn't go after vulnerable. Communities you,

1:06:13.640 --> 1:06:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Know Richard pryor didn't go after your own. People you can,

1:06:17.160 --> 1:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>say you, can you can punch down to a certain,

1:06:18.600 --> 1:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>extent make a funny, joke but like you, know partying,

1:06:22.120 --> 1:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Today like there's so many comedians like going after trans.

1:06:25.720 --> 1:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>People it's so LIKE i find that so uninteresting and

1:06:30.320 --> 1:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>almost always not funny because if you just knew anything

1:06:33.720 --> 1:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>about the, transmmunity you, know like a lot of them

1:06:35.440 --> 1:06:40.960
<v Speaker 1>are really really struggling and suicidal the suicide. Rates it's,

1:06:41.000 --> 1:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>like why would you go after our, community who you,

1:06:42.880 --> 1:06:46.440
<v Speaker 1>know like is has a lot of suicidal, ideation or

1:06:46.520 --> 1:06:47.240
<v Speaker 1>going after.

1:06:47.040 --> 1:06:48.560
<v Speaker 6>Like the gay community and making gay.

1:06:48.640 --> 1:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Jokes like WHEN i started as a comedy a, COMEDIAN

1:06:51.320 --> 1:06:54.720
<v Speaker 1>i didn't even like to put like my then girlfriend

1:06:54.800 --> 1:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and then wife THAT i.

1:06:55.880 --> 1:06:57.600
<v Speaker 6>Never punched down at.

1:06:57.600 --> 1:07:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Her my jokes were about me being like, short my

1:07:01.920 --> 1:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>shortcomings in the, marriage poor, her she has to deal with.

1:07:05.600 --> 1:07:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Me BECAUSE i just felt like that kind of overt

1:07:07.800 --> 1:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>sexism of male comedians some about their, WIVES i just

1:07:12.240 --> 1:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>felt like that was over and SO i just never

1:07:15.360 --> 1:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>was really impressed with. That SO i think like the

1:07:17.320 --> 1:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>that whole idea of punching down and punching, UP i

1:07:19.640 --> 1:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>still feel.

1:07:20.200 --> 1:07:21.320
<v Speaker 6>Like that should be the.

1:07:21.400 --> 1:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Rule there are exceptions of, sexism and racism can be.

1:07:25.920 --> 1:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Funny The holocaust could be, funny cancer can be anything

1:07:28.800 --> 1:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>can be. Funny if it's done the right way by

1:07:31.240 --> 1:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the right, person that might be. Home BUT i think

1:07:34.480 --> 1:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>that you need to know who you are and who

1:07:36.560 --> 1:07:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you're talking to and who your audience, is and not

1:07:40.600 --> 1:07:42.280
<v Speaker 1>all comedy obviously has a political.

1:07:42.280 --> 1:07:43.320
<v Speaker 6>BENT a lot of, it doesn't you.

1:07:43.360 --> 1:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Know ard Of George carland's act was fart jokes and

1:07:46.040 --> 1:07:49.520
<v Speaker 1>observational humor and and and and jokes on, language brilliant

1:07:49.560 --> 1:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>jokes on, language and then a lot of the other

1:07:52.080 --> 1:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff with social and culture and. Political but it depends

1:07:55.440 --> 1:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>on who you are and how you fashion. Yourself but

1:07:57.920 --> 1:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>it has really interestingly changed in terms of like from

1:08:00.520 --> 1:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>liberal to, conservative the left of the right in the,

1:08:02.520 --> 1:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>spectrum in terms of what we.

1:08:04.360 --> 1:08:06.680
<v Speaker 6>Laugh, at what we're allowed to laugh, at, Right.

1:08:06.720 --> 1:08:09.520
<v Speaker 1>AND i think the one thing that is so often

1:08:09.560 --> 1:08:13.200
<v Speaker 1>we believe narratives because they seem to. Fit but like

1:08:13.240 --> 1:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the idea that liberals are more, sensitive it is probably

1:08:18.360 --> 1:08:20.439
<v Speaker 1>true in a lot of, ways at least in that

1:08:20.479 --> 1:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>we care about.

1:08:21.680 --> 1:08:22.240
<v Speaker 6>Strangers.

1:08:22.400 --> 1:08:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah it's like When Rob reiner died and people were,

1:08:27.360 --> 1:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>LIKE i didn't agree with his, politics but let me

1:08:29.840 --> 1:08:31.200
<v Speaker 2>And i'm like his politics of.

1:08:31.360 --> 1:08:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Inclusion, diversity, care.

1:08:34.880 --> 1:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Empathy you should kind of be a little bit ashamed

1:08:38.000 --> 1:08:39.760
<v Speaker 2>to say that part out. Loud you should just go

1:08:39.840 --> 1:08:42.400
<v Speaker 2>straight to the, like, man it's sad that he's. Dead

1:08:42.600 --> 1:08:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you should just skip that part ABOUT i didn't like

1:08:45.040 --> 1:08:45.479
<v Speaker 2>that he.

1:08:45.360 --> 1:08:47.479
<v Speaker 3>Was like such a nice. GUY i wanted everyone to have.

1:08:47.600 --> 1:08:48.840
<v Speaker 3>Equality that was kind of.

1:08:48.880 --> 1:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>CRAZY i just think that the difference Between, yeah it's,

1:08:53.320 --> 1:08:55.719
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous the difference between like a liberal and conservative comedian

1:08:55.720 --> 1:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to a certain extent or.

1:08:57.120 --> 1:08:59.680
<v Speaker 6>Person, yeah when it comes To, county it's like they

1:08:59.760 --> 1:09:01.479
<v Speaker 6>can't laugh at. Themselves no they.

1:09:01.520 --> 1:09:03.080
<v Speaker 5>Can't and a lot of the you don't have a

1:09:03.120 --> 1:09:06.719
<v Speaker 5>sense of. Humor they're like like they, Trumper LIKE.

1:09:06.880 --> 1:09:09.599

<v Speaker 1>then he said some stupid maga. Nonsense but then he called.

1:09:20.920 --> 1:09:24.800

1:09:32.000 --> 1:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>think that's. FUNNY i can laugh at that.

1:09:34.160 --> 1:09:37.200
<v Speaker 6>Joke which is a direct insult HOW i, look AND

1:09:37.240 --> 1:09:39.720
<v Speaker 6>i think it's. Funny so you can definitely make fun

1:09:39.720 --> 1:09:42.000
<v Speaker 6>of my. Beliefs you can make fun of all kinds

1:09:42.040 --> 1:09:42.759
<v Speaker 6>of things about.

1:09:42.800 --> 1:09:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Me And i'm able to laugh at myself BECAUSE A

1:09:44.760 --> 1:09:47.599
<v Speaker 1>i'm confident BE I i don't take myself so. Serious

1:09:47.640 --> 1:09:50.599
<v Speaker 1>but those, guys they they can't laugh at. Themselves they

1:09:50.800 --> 1:09:51.879
<v Speaker 1>that's why also why.

1:09:51.680 --> 1:09:52.320
<v Speaker 6>They're not very.

1:09:52.360 --> 1:09:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Funny they're not very many conservative comedians are very funny at.

1:09:56.400 --> 1:09:59.640
<v Speaker 2>All it's much more like cultural, signifying, Right like it's

1:09:59.680 --> 1:10:02.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of a lot of the conservative stand up

1:10:02.200 --> 1:10:05.040
<v Speaker 2>now is very much like because we all agree on

1:10:05.520 --> 1:10:07.720
<v Speaker 2>and it's a premise that only if you're in like

1:10:07.800 --> 1:10:10.680
<v Speaker 2>a certain circle of the, world would you be, like

1:10:10.840 --> 1:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>this premise makes. Sense so if you're, like, look, man

1:10:14.479 --> 1:10:15.920
<v Speaker 2>these trans people are shooting up.

1:10:15.960 --> 1:10:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Schools there's no factual basis for that. Joke but if

1:10:21.080 --> 1:10:21.479
<v Speaker 3>you're in.

1:10:21.439 --> 1:10:23.800
<v Speaker 2>A certain of a certain belief system and you're in that,

1:10:23.920 --> 1:10:26.880
<v Speaker 2>room you're, like we are going with that. Premise now

1:10:27.080 --> 1:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>you make the funny joke about trans people shooting up

1:10:29.360 --> 1:10:32.000
<v Speaker 2>schools where even though it's not fucking, true and that

1:10:32.880 --> 1:10:36.400
<v Speaker 2>does suck because it feels like they have taken the

1:10:37.560 --> 1:10:39.760
<v Speaker 2>universal appeal of what comedy is supposed to.

1:10:39.800 --> 1:10:43.160
<v Speaker 3>Do they just kind of bastardize. It like it's LIKE

1:10:43.280 --> 1:10:45.000
<v Speaker 3>i prefer that even if you.

1:10:45.080 --> 1:10:49.280

<v Speaker 2>fuck it didn't, work as opposed to JUST i know

1:10:58.920 --> 1:11:01.360
<v Speaker 2>this joke is not that, funny BUT i know it'll

1:11:01.400 --> 1:11:03.920
<v Speaker 2>work because the people in this room want it to

1:11:04.000 --> 1:11:05.880
<v Speaker 2>work more than they wanted to be.

1:11:05.960 --> 1:11:09.000

<v Speaker 2>but also like he's such a he's so.

1:16:35.600 --> 1:16:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Used to running up against this brick wall of.

1:16:37.920 --> 1:16:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Comedy yes THAT i feel like politics can't be that

<v Speaker 2>much harder than ever brickwall than what he's already been.

1:16:45.040 --> 1:16:47.639
<v Speaker 2>DOING i feel like him coming up to people Called

1:16:47.680 --> 1:16:51.120
<v Speaker 2>turkey to, say sign this, petition how's that different than

1:16:51.120 --> 1:16:51.519

<v Speaker 3>SHOW i think he was built for.

1:16:52.800 --> 1:16:56.000
<v Speaker 1>THIS i think THAT i think that there's been parts

1:16:56.040 --> 1:17:01.640
<v Speaker 1>of his career that are obviously really his impressions have

1:17:01.800 --> 1:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>gotten him a lot more attention than his stand up

1:17:04.280 --> 1:17:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's only because like he's not for enough.

1:17:08.080 --> 1:17:10.519
<v Speaker 6>People it's not because he's not, funny it's not because

1:17:10.560 --> 1:17:10.800
<v Speaker 6>he's not.

1:17:10.840 --> 1:17:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Brilliant it's like there are certain people who always have

1:17:13.400 --> 1:17:16.400
<v Speaker 1>smaller cult followings because you, know they don't have that

1:17:16.479 --> 1:17:18.599
<v Speaker 1>kind of universal. Appeal and part of that is because

1:17:18.640 --> 1:17:21.200
<v Speaker 1>he's so. SMART a lot of his jokes are too

1:17:21.240 --> 1:17:24.960
<v Speaker 1>high prow for a larger mass audience and, appeal and

1:17:25.000 --> 1:17:27.320
<v Speaker 1>his style and his demeanor and a lot of those.

1:17:27.360 --> 1:17:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Things but, also And i've always said, this you, know

1:17:30.280 --> 1:17:32.599
<v Speaker 1>at his, part he's a public.

1:17:32.640 --> 1:17:34.879
<v Speaker 6>Servant he's always done.

1:17:34.720 --> 1:17:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Service acts of service as a volunteer as a student

1:17:40.280 --> 1:17:44.080
<v Speaker 1>for all different kinds of, communities and that's what he's doing,

1:17:44.080 --> 1:17:46.720
<v Speaker 1>now this nonprofit that he's working in to fight homelessness and.

1:17:46.720 --> 1:17:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Eviction and that's why he went to law, school and

1:17:49.280 --> 1:17:52.519
<v Speaker 1>that's what his family brought him up to. Be is you,

1:17:52.560 --> 1:17:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Know dad was very influence on. Him and you, KNOW

1:17:55.240 --> 1:17:58.880
<v Speaker 1>i THINK i think that this is really suited for.

1:17:58.960 --> 1:18:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Him AND i think in This Dan angel politics where

1:18:02.240 --> 1:18:04.680
<v Speaker 1>you need people who can fight and can, banter who

1:18:04.760 --> 1:18:07.439
<v Speaker 1>can you, know that's he's the kind of person you.

1:18:07.479 --> 1:18:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Need you need people who are good performers and who

1:18:09.960 --> 1:18:11.360
<v Speaker 1>are good fighters and who are.

1:18:11.400 --> 1:18:15.519
<v Speaker 6>Smart he's all those. Things And New jersey's eleventh district

1:18:15.520 --> 1:18:17.160
<v Speaker 6>would be real lucky to have him. Represented.

<v Speaker 2>Because I'm i'm tired of arguing with people over degrees

1:18:27.400 --> 1:18:28.080
<v Speaker 2>of difference on the.

1:18:28.160 --> 1:18:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Left it's it's so.

1:18:29.760 --> 1:18:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Fruitless we're not getting much out of it except eroding

1:18:33.120 --> 1:18:34.479
<v Speaker 2>the goodwill we have for each.

1:18:34.520 --> 1:18:37.200

<v Speaker 2>just Not it's, like ultimately it would be a luxury

1:18:57.040 --> 1:18:58.760
<v Speaker 2>for it to, matter but we need to get in

1:18:58.760 --> 1:19:01.280
<v Speaker 2>a position to be in a, luxury like to have

1:19:01.320 --> 1:19:05.920
<v Speaker 2>that luxury of, like, no seventeen dollar minimum, wage rather

1:19:05.960 --> 1:19:09.679

1:19:34.920 --> 1:19:36.639
<v Speaker 1>skepticism about the.

1:19:36.600 --> 1:19:40.959

<v Speaker 1>a lot. MORE i admire you a lot more and

1:23:29.720 --> 1:23:33.200
<v Speaker 1>probably think that might be why we are connected to

1:23:33.200 --> 1:23:36.879
<v Speaker 1>a certain, extent BECAUSE i live by a couple of simple.

1:23:37.160 --> 1:23:40.400
<v Speaker 6>Ideas be the change you want to see in the.

1:23:40.400 --> 1:23:45.000
<v Speaker 1>World so if someone is putting someone, down treating someone,

1:23:45.000 --> 1:23:46.040
<v Speaker 1>poorly what.

1:23:45.960 --> 1:23:47.120
<v Speaker 6>Are you doing in that?

1:23:47.200 --> 1:23:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Moment if you don't if you want to say the,

1:23:50.000 --> 1:23:53.600
<v Speaker 1>environment what are you doing about. It another one is

1:23:53.960 --> 1:23:56.880
<v Speaker 1>surround yourself with people who fight for you in rooms

1:23:56.920 --> 1:23:57.400
<v Speaker 1>that you're not.

1:23:57.520 --> 1:24:00.760
<v Speaker 6>In, right, someone If i'm in a room with all.

1:24:00.680 --> 1:24:02.920
<v Speaker 1>White guys and they say something about black people or

1:24:03.360 --> 1:24:06.400
<v Speaker 1>more likely you, KNOW i guess the best examples in

1:24:06.439 --> 1:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen GUYS i talked to in a text chain

1:24:08.720 --> 1:24:11.960
<v Speaker 1>from high school After Charlie kirk. Died the one there's

1:24:12.000 --> 1:24:14.280
<v Speaker 1>a couple of trumpers in. THERE i hate them and

1:24:14.360 --> 1:24:17.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't want them, invited but they're in, there But i'm

1:24:17.120 --> 1:24:18.200
<v Speaker 1>there to confront.

1:24:18.240 --> 1:24:18.880
<v Speaker 6>Them So.

1:24:19.080 --> 1:24:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Charlie this guy went off On Charlie kirk and how

1:24:21.040 --> 1:24:25.040
<v Speaker 1>good he, was AND i was, like wrong. PLACE i

1:24:25.160 --> 1:24:26.800
<v Speaker 1>let him on fire and we haven't heard from him,

1:24:26.840 --> 1:24:30.160
<v Speaker 1>since And i'm proud of. That At, like you, know

1:24:30.360 --> 1:24:33.600
<v Speaker 1>surround yourself with people who fight for you in the

1:24:33.680 --> 1:24:36.680
<v Speaker 1>rooms that you're not. In and, finally the one THAT

1:24:36.720 --> 1:24:39.120
<v Speaker 1>i think about all the, TIME i heard This australian

1:24:39.200 --> 1:24:40.280
<v Speaker 1>general say it years.

1:24:40.080 --> 1:24:41.360
<v Speaker 6>Ago was covering this issue in the.

1:24:41.400 --> 1:24:46.000
<v Speaker 1>News it was during they had some horrible incident of sexual,

1:24:46.200 --> 1:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>harassment which all militaries have an epidemic of, it men

1:24:49.400 --> 1:24:51.680
<v Speaker 1>harassing women and other men generally.

1:24:51.360 --> 1:24:53.799
<v Speaker 6>Speaking but there was some horrible.

1:24:53.800 --> 1:24:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Issue and so This australian general in his Cool australian,

1:24:57.120 --> 1:25:02.840
<v Speaker 1>accent basically he, said the standard you walk, past he's

1:25:02.920 --> 1:25:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the standard you. Accept the standard you walk past is

1:25:06.680 --> 1:25:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the standard you. Accept so if someone's over, here you,

1:25:08.680 --> 1:25:11.479
<v Speaker 1>know making gay jokes and you're just allowing, it or

1:25:11.520 --> 1:25:13.680
<v Speaker 1>making raisist jokes and you're just allowing, it there's a

1:25:13.720 --> 1:25:14.759
<v Speaker 1>million ways to handle.

1:25:14.800 --> 1:25:18.320
<v Speaker 6>IT i know it's, uncomfortable BUT i know that.

1:25:18.439 --> 1:25:22.840
<v Speaker 1>If if My jewish, friends my gay, friend my black

1:25:22.880 --> 1:25:27.519
<v Speaker 1>friend or loved one knew THAT i stood by and allowed,

1:25:27.520 --> 1:25:30.200
<v Speaker 1>that they would be disappointed in the shame of.

1:25:30.240 --> 1:25:33.400
<v Speaker 6>Me AND i personally can't live with their.

1:25:34.080 --> 1:25:37.599
<v Speaker 1>Disrespect So i've been that way pretty much my whole,

1:25:37.680 --> 1:25:41.120
<v Speaker 1>life and it has made me a lot more, friends

1:25:41.160 --> 1:25:42.840

<v Speaker 1>catch myself doing it and thinking and saying inappropriate. Things

1:31:31.520 --> 1:31:34.240
<v Speaker 1>BUT i did mature at a certain.

1:31:34.320 --> 1:31:38.760
<v Speaker 7>Point and more, IMPORTANTLY i was never in a group

1:31:38.840 --> 1:31:41.280
<v Speaker 7>of friends or with a bunch of men that talked

1:31:41.320 --> 1:31:44.559

<v Speaker 2>trump shit was when they were like his locker room.

1:32:09.320 --> 1:32:11.880

<v Speaker 1>my twenties or my, thirties obviously NOW i have. Daughters

1:32:27.479 --> 1:32:29.720
<v Speaker 1>For god's. Sake sometimes people, like, oh you shouldn't be

1:32:29.800 --> 1:32:32.559
<v Speaker 1>like a pro woman feminist type of person just because

1:32:32.600 --> 1:32:34.160

<v Speaker 1>and reproductive rights and domestic violence and all these. Things

1:32:43.439 --> 1:32:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and the bottom line is like in my twenties or

1:32:45.640 --> 1:32:48.360
<v Speaker 1>thirties are now like IF i knew a, MAN i

1:32:48.479 --> 1:32:51.000

1:33:03.920 --> 1:33:05.200
<v Speaker 6>would like who's doing?

1:33:05.240 --> 1:33:09.880

<v Speaker 3>SEINFELD i was, like this is the fucking funniest Shit

1:38:37.360 --> 1:38:37.920
<v Speaker 3>i've ever seen in my.

1:38:38.040 --> 1:38:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Life the opposite like growing up white and nnies and

1:38:42.120 --> 1:38:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the access you, Had like the REFERENCES i had the

1:38:44.640 --> 1:38:47.760
<v Speaker 1>black people in black culture were mostly, television, entertainment, music

1:38:47.840 --> 1:38:49.479
<v Speaker 1>AND i was never a big music person of any.

1:38:49.520 --> 1:38:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Genre but a lot of WHAT i thought about used

1:38:52.760 --> 1:38:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to do this joke with my standing back in front

1:38:54.120 --> 1:38:55.960
<v Speaker 1>of black. AUDIENCES a lot about WHAT i thought about

1:38:55.960 --> 1:38:58.200
<v Speaker 1>black people in black culture was SOMETHING i learned, from you,

1:38:58.240 --> 1:39:00.920
<v Speaker 1>know a predominantly black, show which you, know most of

1:39:00.960 --> 1:39:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the time did a pretty good job in the seventies

1:39:02.960 --> 1:39:06.639
<v Speaker 1>and eighties of. Representing but the show that was most

1:39:06.680 --> 1:39:09.200
<v Speaker 1>indelible to, me the show THAT i laughed the hardest,

1:39:09.200 --> 1:39:10.960
<v Speaker 1>at AND i wouldn't say it was like typical of black.

1:39:10.960 --> 1:39:12.280
<v Speaker 6>Culture whatever it was mixed with The.

1:39:12.360 --> 1:39:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Jeffersons, YES i Love The jeffersons is a show to this,

1:39:16.840 --> 1:39:18.759
<v Speaker 1>day AND i can still hear my. Brother we would

1:39:18.760 --> 1:39:22.639
<v Speaker 1>what we call scream laugh screaming laughing At George jefferson

1:39:23.160 --> 1:39:25.400
<v Speaker 1>And florence whose, name what's her?

1:39:25.439 --> 1:39:27.480
<v Speaker 6>Name after's? Name she's still, Alive, Marla.

1:39:28.880 --> 1:39:33.200
<v Speaker 1>And that show for me Was Marla, GIBBS i Think Marla.

1:39:33.240 --> 1:39:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Gibbs and there were a lot of, other you, know

1:39:35.439 --> 1:39:38.040
<v Speaker 1>predominantly black shows too that, YEAH i. LIKED i liked

1:39:38.160 --> 1:39:41.439
<v Speaker 1>black like sitcom and comedy and oh.

1:39:41.360 --> 1:39:41.840
<v Speaker 3>That's the, thing.

1:39:42.000 --> 1:39:45.320
<v Speaker 2>Dude black culture is Basically american, culture, Right like so

1:39:45.520 --> 1:39:48.360
<v Speaker 2>much of our cultural expert In america has just been

1:39:48.479 --> 1:39:51.320
<v Speaker 2>like black people. Shit like even stuff that's white people

1:39:51.360 --> 1:39:52.639
<v Speaker 2>shit now was black people shit.

1:39:52.720 --> 1:39:54.000
<v Speaker 3>There it was rock and, roll it was.

1:39:54.120 --> 1:39:58.439
<v Speaker 1>Jazz and Think i'm just speaking Of i'm speaking out

1:39:58.479 --> 1:39:59.640
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of, agents BUT i think it's.

1:39:59.680 --> 1:40:02.960
<v Speaker 6>TRUE tv was overwhelmingly.

1:40:02.000 --> 1:40:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Dominated by white actors and white shows, always so the

1:40:05.040 --> 1:40:06.960
<v Speaker 1>point where you could talk about the first black on

1:40:07.120 --> 1:40:11.400
<v Speaker 1>screen kiss with Like Sidney, poitieri the first black, lead

1:40:11.640 --> 1:40:13.000
<v Speaker 1>or or even on The, awards we.

1:40:13.000 --> 1:40:13.680
<v Speaker 6>Could it's just more.

1:40:13.760 --> 1:40:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Nonsense but like so four white people who were at

1:40:16.920 --> 1:40:18.760
<v Speaker 1>least trying to be open mind or curious whether they

1:40:18.840 --> 1:40:19.360
<v Speaker 1>knew anything or.

1:40:19.400 --> 1:40:21.800
<v Speaker 6>Not but CERTAINLY i was GROWN i was curious that,

1:40:21.880 --> 1:40:24.760
<v Speaker 6>Way like it was hard FOR tv was your. Thing

1:40:25.160 --> 1:40:25.880
<v Speaker 6>music was never my.

1:40:26.000 --> 1:40:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Thing if music was more of the, thing music radicalizes

1:40:28.280 --> 1:40:30.439
<v Speaker 1>people in all kinds of, ways AND i just never

1:40:30.520 --> 1:40:33.280
<v Speaker 1>got into. It it's white cultural blind, spot but television

1:40:33.800 --> 1:40:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and particularly comedy that was.

1:40:36.040 --> 1:40:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Weird AND i guess WHAT i mean to say with

1:40:37.960 --> 1:40:41.240
<v Speaker 2>that is like you would Think The jeffersons would be

1:40:41.360 --> 1:40:44.120
<v Speaker 2>like a niche show because but it's it was like

1:40:44.479 --> 1:40:47.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people Love The jeffersons because it WAS i,

1:40:47.160 --> 1:40:47.600
<v Speaker 2>mean it was just.

1:40:47.720 --> 1:40:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Dope there was a, thing and a lot of black,

1:40:50.160 --> 1:40:52.360
<v Speaker 1>COMEDIANS a lot of comedians have done this, joke but

1:40:52.479 --> 1:40:54.400
<v Speaker 1>there was there is a there was also a. Thing

1:40:54.439 --> 1:40:57.360
<v Speaker 1>it's all kinds of things that it did that didn't

1:40:57.400 --> 1:41:00.000
<v Speaker 1>help white, folks. Right, yeah used to be able to

1:41:00.120 --> 1:41:02.479
<v Speaker 1>jokes that you know, WHAT i thought black people didn't

1:41:02.560 --> 1:41:05.160
<v Speaker 1>this or. That, Right but but one of the jokes

1:41:05.320 --> 1:41:08.800
<v Speaker 1>is that like growing up white In america watching a

1:41:08.840 --> 1:41:10.760
<v Speaker 1>lot OF, tv you might have been vulnerable to the

1:41:10.840 --> 1:41:13.040
<v Speaker 1>idea that there were a lot of young black boys

1:41:13.080 --> 1:41:15.759
<v Speaker 1>with that disease where they didn't grow into full Men's

1:41:17.120 --> 1:41:20.320
<v Speaker 1>there was only like nine shows ON, tv and one

1:41:20.560 --> 1:41:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Was Emmanuel lewis and one Was Harry. Coleman why would

1:41:25.960 --> 1:41:30.720
<v Speaker 1>casting these cute young black boys because they had the

1:41:30.800 --> 1:41:33.160
<v Speaker 1>maturity of an older boy and they could play a,

1:41:33.280 --> 1:41:34.479
<v Speaker 1>kid and they had those funny.

1:41:34.520 --> 1:41:35.680
<v Speaker 6>Lines they were so good at.

1:41:35.720 --> 1:41:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Comedy as a, result what you talk about willis but

1:41:38.880 --> 1:41:41.320
<v Speaker 1>it was also where white people were, like what's wrong

1:41:41.360 --> 1:41:43.200
<v Speaker 1>with Little why are those little black boys not?

1:41:43.320 --> 1:41:46.200
<v Speaker 6>GROWING i think that agent like.

1:41:46.280 --> 1:41:50.200
<v Speaker 2>CARTOONS i Think Larry wilmore in his BOOK I Wish

1:41:50.280 --> 1:41:54.679
