00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Business Week from Bloomberg Radio. I'm Chasing

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: Kelly and I'm Carol Master. Welcome to the Bloomberg Business

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: Week Extra. It's our weekly podcast where we bring you

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: an extended version of one of our favorite conversations, one

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: of our favorite interviews from the week. This one was easy.

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: I have to say comedian Paul Riser, as you have said,

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: more than a comedian, author, actor, done so much, so

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: many things. I mean, really a true multi hyphen it

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: as they say in the modern day content business. And

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, we caught him at home as everyone is,

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: and he had something to say about his family and

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: a really fun conversation, including a call back to your

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: favorite monk. There's a whole of the world. And it's funny.

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: You know, my kids will say that, what do you

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: think we're gonna be able to go? Not only don't

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: I know, nobody knows. Don't remind him and and m

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: and me. This is the first time going through this

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: for all of us. So there is something comforting in that,

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: as as as lost in the as uh as hard

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: as it is and challenging and scary, it's like we're

21
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: all going through this together, and uh you know, the

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: best we can do is let's be smart and cautious

23
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: and and uh and wait. So you know, I the

24
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: part about staying home, uh doesn't bother me. I gotta

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: be honest. I I like that part. I don't like

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: not working. I miss and I don't like how many

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: things that the world is suffering as much as it is.

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: But in terms of you know, my motto is, you know,

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: how do you you know? What about being stuck inside?

30
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I've been outside before. I didn't

31
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: enjoy it that much. You know, Yeah, inside is so much. Uh,

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: I enjoy it. I enjoy it. I luckily I like

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: the people that I'm locked in with. So that's right.

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: It makes a difference. If you like your family, it's

35
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: a lot easier. I'm just gonna say, because people feel different.

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: You had people read sort of redescend on your home? Right,

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: read what redescend on your home? People? Your nest is

38
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: no longer empty? Oh yes, yes, yes, the nest is full.

39
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: It is chock full and ready to kick people out.

40
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: Might not even be the kids we might be leaving.

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: We'll just leave them, so you enjoy the empty net. No,

42
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, my my son was on school back east

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: and he came home. Um and uh, I kind of

44
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: like that. Uh, you know, he's restless and he's it's

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, now now you know, I don't see

46
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: him anymore. By the way, he's upstairs. He comes out

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: for feedings. That's about it. It's sort of like having

48
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: a lizard. If he needs to be gets some nutrients

49
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: and some water, you will appear. Otherwise he's just upstairs somewhere.

50
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: But I'm you know, and we're all trying ways to

51
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: be creative. And I'm doing a couple of writing projects.

52
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: And you can still write, uh with the presumption that

53
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: the world will return to some normalcy within you know,

54
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: within hopefully not the near too far distant future. And

55
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: what what's your I was I was about to ask you,

56
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: just like your kids, what's your best guests? But I mean,

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: what are you hearing from? Talk to my kids, They yeah,

58
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: exactly what what are you hearing from? You know? Producers, director,

59
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: as you work with you know, partners, because you have

60
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: so many sort of irons in the fires, and it changes,

61
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, it changes so frequently. You know, one show

62
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: that was up and went in March and went down

63
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: and they have not given any indication of going back.

64
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I was going to do a film that was going

65
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: to be this fall. That is now they've pushed to

66
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. And for a minute a

67
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. You know, it's interesting like all of

68
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: this when you hear things like you want to go

69
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: wait a second, is that something you heard somebody some

70
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: other idiots say, or if you actually know something you

71
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: know and so I go, well, I hear that's such

72
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: and such show they're gearing up ready to go in July,

73
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: and you go okay, And then then you know, we've

74
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: had a spike in the last week or there's gone

75
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: back up. So I think all bets are off and

76
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: let's let's beat this thing um or move all moved

77
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: to a country. We're all moving to New Zealand. I

78
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: think they figured it out. They figured out and they

79
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: won't be having us. By the way, you know, we've

80
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: been asking everybody considering the last fourteen weeks, in the

81
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: last three weeks coming out of Minneapolis. You know, the

82
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: role of leaders, the role of people even like yourself,

83
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, entertainers, comedians, folks who have platforms. You know

84
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: what we can all do to kind of make things better. Yeah. Well,

85
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, as I said before, that there is something um,

86
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: somewhat comforting in that this is universal and we are

87
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: all in this together, and you know, and and uh.

88
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: In terms of the virus, I mean, it certainly doesn't

89
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: exempt anybody. It's like, oh, don't don't infect that guy,

90
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: he's on tv UM, you know. So it's just we're

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: all figuring this out together and all sweating through this together.

92
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: And and yeah, all voices that are constructive and productive

93
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: are welcome. And and I I I feel personally like

94
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: I part of the reason I never really get into politics.

95
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: It's like I feel like I will just get so

96
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: overwhelmed and passionate that will be remarkably inarticulate and uh

97
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: and and rather than sort of jump into any conversation,

98
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: I think what I've felt was a more efficient ways.

99
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: It's just sort of too forward and retweet and point

100
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: the light to people who are saying things much more

101
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: articulately and eloquently than than I could. Um, there's a

102
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of smart, helpful people out there

103
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: doing doing great work. But yeah, you know, there also

104
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: is the the the risk of overload. There was so

105
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: in this world we live in, everybody can talk twenty

106
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: four hours a day and it's hard, too hard to

107
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: pick through it a lot of times. But yeah, there

108
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: are there are some very articulate and eloquent and voices

109
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: out there and they should be heard more well, And Paul,

110
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: I do that to that I'm not one of them. Well,

111
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: you can't say that someone who writes as much as

112
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: you have your books. I'm just you know, you know

113
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: what you're doing. By the way, I'll tell you what

114
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: I'm still stuck on. I'm very about you. Yeah, but

115
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: you said you have I do. You said you have

116
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: a man about you mug. You know what I thought

117
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: was in the five ten minutes I was off the

118
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: air listening to the news. What I thought we had mugs?

119
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: You did, But I don't have a mug. It's a

120
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: perfect it's your logo. I have to go to your

121
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: house and have coffee at your house to experience that

122
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: you are welcome anytime. It's it's met about you. The

123
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: logo on the front and the back says you've got

124
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: to be a little crazy to be in love. And

125
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: I have to say, yeah, I just never never saw

126
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: that in my life. I have no idea. I never

127
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: heard that slogan good for them, good for you A

128
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: piece at I know, I feel like nothing, no, but

129
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: he sends nothing. But it's very it's very sweet. I

130
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: drink my coffee out of a Stephen Colbert mugs that

131
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: was part of the swag bag that I did two

132
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: years ago or something. So every day I go, I

133
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: think of Steve when I drink my coffee. Well, I

134
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: just say that show. I just have to say, because

135
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: my husband and I were newly weds and and they

136
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: were just seen after see we just look at each

137
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: other and it was we could they relate to it?

138
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: It was really adorable, So it was you know, it

139
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: was it was all written from truth. And I always

140
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: hold people I'm not smart enough to make anything up,

141
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: so I can only talk about what actually happened to me.

142
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: So that show, you know, luckily, But and as I

143
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: find when I'm when I when when stand up comedy

144
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: still existed, when I, you know, doing my stand up,

145
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: it's like I only talk about what happens to me,

146
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: and the audience is laughing because they're going, oh, thank god,

147
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: it's not just us. This guy, this guy has the

148
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 1: same problem at home. So you know, there is again

149
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: the universal you know, there's there's uh, there's a great

150
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: comfort in having company on the ryde Um. But yes,

151
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: so that's uh and part of anyway, Yes, give me

152
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: a question, and I will well, I do wonder. I

153
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: mean we we were sort of you know, bouncing back

154
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: and forth between Carol and me and our producers about like,

155
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a career that has endured in

156
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: many ways, and I do wonder. You know, one of

157
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: the main things that that you have done, Paul, it

158
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: seems is you know, shift very successfully to you know,

159
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: this whole new world of distribution, specifically um with Netflix,

160
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: and you know, really leveraging that platform in many ways.

161
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: And I do wonder what, you know, sort of sort

162
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: of how you did that, whether that was intentional, whether

163
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: it was just material coming to you. I well, I

164
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: don't I don't think I did anything that clever. The

165
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: world change and you go where they're having where are

166
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: they making shows? Okay, let's go there. Um, So it

167
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: wasn't a conscious choice of Hey, I'm going I see

168
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: the Wave of the Future and it's on Netflix. Um,

169
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, but you did pick good material. I mean,

170
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: I will say, there's a lot you can do. That's

171
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: the only thing you can do is be selective and

172
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: say do good things. And I've been lucky and sometimes

173
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: I was able to create things, and and often I

174
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: just got luckily invited into sing things, you know, stranger

175
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: things called and I went, well, that's not something I

176
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: have to think about too long. Yes, please? Uh And

177
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: Kaminsky Method, you know, it totally happened by accident. I

178
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: had seen the first first season of Kaminsky Method, and

179
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: Chuck Laurie, who created it, I know for thirty years,

180
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: and I I from his first job, and I called

181
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: him just to tell him, you know how great it was,

182
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: and I thought it was so terrific. And I jokingly,

183
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: this is why I don't take a lesson from this kids,

184
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: because this doesn't work like this often. But I jokingly said, well,

185
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: why don't you and I do another show like that?

186
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: Come on? That's come on. Two guys sitting in a

187
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: car complaining I can do that all day. And he

188
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: chokingly but not joking, he said, do you want to

189
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: be on this one? I went okay, And apparently he

190
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: had this role in mind where I play the old

191
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: guy that dates Michael Douglas's younger daughter and uh in

192
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: a month later, I'm in the bald makeup and padded

193
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: and aged up and playing with Michael Douglas and Ellen

00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: Arkans Sara Baker doing this lovely show and it's, you know,

195
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,320

Speaker 1: dream gig, and there's Emmy buzz around it. And first

216
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: so tickled to be honest, so that people would talk

217
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: talking about that. It's uh, it's icing on top of

218
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: the gravy, on top of the cherry. All right, Well,

219
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,880

223
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,680

226
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,520

227
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,720

00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: All right, Paul, no problem, I understand. I meant that,

229
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: and I will show up. I'm a man of my word.

230
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: That's comedian Paul Riser. He's you know, Jason. He's a comedian,

231
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: he's an actor, he's a writer and author, multiple Emmy,

232
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: Golden Globe, American Comedy Award and nominations. Believe it or not,

233
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: he's never won an Emmy, so we'll see if he

234
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: gets one for the Kaminsky Method. Um, it's really fascinating.

235
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: But man, just talking to him, one of my favorite

236
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: chose was met about you back in the nineties. So

237
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: it was just fun to catch up with him, and

238
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, he liked the rest of us is stuck

239
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: at home. To get his observations on that was really fun.

240
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: He really is your it in on that mug. I

241
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: can't wait for the Emmy for mug handoff. That's going

242
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: to happen when it all comes together and we're all

243
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,439
