9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,800

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 3: how much am I getting for this? And I'm like what,

11

Speaker 4: Hey what's going on?

31
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 5: Hey? Skip, how you doing? I just, you know, I

32
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 5: was looking at the Netflix of Sebastian, who's going to

33
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 5: be on tomorrow. I's watching the show. He's brilliant, that guy,

34
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 5: and I'm really excited to talk to him.

35
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: He really is. And you know what, for me, it's

36
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 4: it's particular fun because you know, I spend time with Sebastian,

37
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 4: we play golf together. He's just he's just a warm,

38
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: great guy. Whenever I've had people like I have two cousins,

39
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 4: Marissa and Lindsay, they're huge Sebastian fans, and you know,

40
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: I hate doing this, but you know, oh, can we

41
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 4: meet him? Can we meet him? And I called him,

42
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 4: who's out on tour? And I said, you know, I

43
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 4: got my cousins and whatever and everybody, you know, because

44
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: not now that COVID is you know, mostly behind us,

45
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: but everybody has become more cautious about having too much contact,

46
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 4: where you're going to possibility getting sick. Absolutely, haven't seen

47
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: me before the show. Like it's interesting because Paul you

48
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: like to see people after the show. He likes to

49
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 4: see people before the show. But you know, you have

50
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: my two cousins there. And he didn't give him like

51
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: just the handshakes and goodbye. I mean, he was really

52
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 4: you know, he's talking to him. He's just he's a

53
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: great guy. But I was going to tell you one

54
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: other things. When he had his fiftieth birthday recently, Edie

55
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 4: and I were invited to the party at his house

56
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: and we were driving over there and Edie said, you know,

57
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: how many people do you think will be here? I said,

58
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: oh god, Sebastian Maniscalco, hundreds. You know it's going to

59
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 4: be huge. We get there, there are like thirty or

60
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 4: forty people and I'm wondering, wait a second, but did

61
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 4: we get here too early and people are coming later?

62
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: And I said, well, Sebastian, I thought there'd be a

63
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 4: big crowd here. He said, listen, I perform in front

64
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 4: of big crowds, but for something like this, I really

65
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: just want the people who really mean something to me.

66
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 4: And I mean that's what he's like, he's thoughtful. He's not,

67
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: you know, just he he's a very interesting guy. He

68
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: knows that I drink diet coke. I'm almost addicted to it.

69
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: He said, hey, hold on, just wait here for a second.

70
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 4: So Eading Eric's is standing there, and he walks up

71
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: to the house because we're out in the backyard where

72
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 4: this party was going to take place. He comes back

73
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: with a can of diet coke. He said, we only

74
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 4: had one can of diet coke and I didn't want

75
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: anybody else to get it, so I hit it in

76
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 4: the refrigerator. Here you go, and he is a canned

77
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 4: die coke. But that's but my point is, that's what

78
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 4: kind of guy he is. That's who he is.

79
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 5: You're going to love him, you know. I'm looking forward

80
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: just I'm looking forward to seeing that other side of him,

81
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 5: you know, because you look at you know what he

82
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 5: does up there. I'm sure there is another side, and

83
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: I think we're going to find out. Thanks for pulling

84
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 5: him in. He loves you. Okay, we'll talk later, Yeah,

85
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 5: by bye, yeah, by.

86
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: Say out of Paul. Anka is only on the phone

87
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: because there's a Wi Fi problem in his hotel. He's

88
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 4: performing eighty one years old. He's performing in Clearwater floor.

89
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: You're going to be performing when you're eighty, right, I hope.

90
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: So clear Water, Florida. What is that the Ruth Ecker

00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I've been there. It's a nice room.

95
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: First of all, high Sebastian.

96
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 2: Nice to meet you.

97
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: Nice to meet you too, and looking forward to this.

98
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: He used to hang on Chicago for many years, buddy,

99
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: when it was safe.

100
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, those were the good old days.

101
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 4: Now.

102
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just there with my father down in

103
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 3: the city and we went to a little Italian joint

104
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: down there, and yeah, I don't know. The energy of

105
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: the city seems to not be the same as it

106
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: once was in the well the nineties, when I was

107
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: growing up there.

108
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I went there. Did you go to Gibson's

109
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: is that? I know you're a foodie? Did you go

110
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: to do you go to give since to Lombard's place.

111
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: I didn't go to Gibson's, but I've been there. I

112
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: enjoy I enjoy that.

113
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my old that's my old hang there. We

114
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: used to have a lot of fun, Marty Gatilla and Lombardo,

115
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: the Greco family. But it has changed, unfortunately, but maybe

116
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: it'll spit around to the way we like it.

117
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything's changing.

118
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well we're doing all right.

119
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, you gotta be good. You're you're out

120
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 3: there performing in Florida. I mean, I only hope to

121
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 3: be eighty one years old doing stand up somewhere.

122
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: Well, I think the way you're going you look fit.

123
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: You know what I can't believe is, you know when

124
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: I got down here sixteen years old Sebastian, and they

125
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: said you're doing a show called ed Sullivan. They took

126
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: me into the Ed Sullivan Theater and two hours later

127
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: they said, you're going into Madison Square Gardens. We're changing

128
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: the venue. And here I am, my first time in

129
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: the States, singing Diana. That Coka made me a little

130
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: song that put me where I am today, and I

131
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: was scared to death. And you're going in there. You've

132
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: been selling that place out. What do you feel like, man,

133
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: going from you know, these little clubs testing your stuff.

134
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: What's the feeling going into massive square gardens as successful

135
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: as you are?

136
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I never got into the business to

137
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: do like these arena type shows. I came out to

138
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: Los Angeles from Chicago in nineteen ninety eight solely to

139
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: you know, do stand up comedy just as for a living.

140
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: That's kind of the goal.

141
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 3: And you know, for me, it was a slow burn.

142
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: I've been doing this for twenty five years, so I

143
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: didn't have any film or TV credits to really catapult

144
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: me into the stand up comedy scene. It was, you know,

145
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: going to comedy clubs, doing you know, the week at

146
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 3: the comedy club for one thousand dollars whatever they were

147
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: paying me, and establishing a fan base that way, and gradually,

148
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: over time, you know, the audience grew and now.

149
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: You're going into places like Madison Square.

150
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 3: Garden, which you know, the problem with me is I

151
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: never really enjoyed that experience as much as I should

152
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 3: have because and I don't know if you suffer from this,

153
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 3: but I'm always thinking, my last show is my last show, you.

154
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: Know, right right, I get it.

155
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: So this time around, I'm trying to stop and small

156
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: the roses a little bit more than I had in

157
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: the past, because you.

158
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: Know, these moments are fleeting.

159
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: You never know if they're going to happen again, and

160
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: I'm gonna bring my family this time around on this tour.

161
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: You know, my kids are six and four years old.

162
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: They they kind of understand what daddy's doing now, So

163
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: just want to enjoy these moments. But yeah, Madison Square

164
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: Garden is something that is, you know, as big as

165
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: the room is, it plays very small. It's like an

166
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 3: intimate type of room as much as you could get

167
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: for an arena. So yeah, it's it's a special, special time.

168
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: So I really really enjoy the career right now. But again,

169
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: you know, I'm selling five shows of Madison Square Garden.

170
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: But in Norfolk, Virginia, I got two thousand people.

171
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: Well, we don't go to Norfolk. Does the timing device?

172
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: You know, I started years ago in Vegas. I had

173
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: every top comic because back then, you know, they work

174
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: with us. You've had Alan King, I had Woody, Allen Joe,

175
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: all opening acts, and they were all into the small

176
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: room environment like you started. Is there a certain device

177
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: when you're playing to a big audience that you're not

178
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: expecting to What is your timing level in terms of

179
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: responding to all of that? I mean it's phenomenal and

180
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: comedy is much different than music. You know, we get

181
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: up there. We can bullshit all we want because we've

182
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: got a band and everything, But what's your mindset when

183
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: you're getting up there? I've always wondered, because it's it's

184
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: something really a new dynamic in our business to see,

185
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, guys like you and deservedly so. But with

186
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: that many people, what was your timing device on that?

187
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 2: Well?

188
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 3: You know, I think my act kind of suited for

189
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 3: a larger environment, although I agree with you, I think

190
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: the smaller rooms like the comedy clubs, are somewhere where

191
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: comedy should definitely be enjoyed. You know, you get into

192
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: a two hundred and fifty seat comedy club and the

193
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 3: audience is right there at your feet.

194
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: And you could, you know, see them.

195
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 3: Eating or drinking, and they could see all your facial expressions.

196
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: So definitely suited for comedy.

197
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: But you know, in the arena, I tend to get

198
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: really physical on stage and big and theatrical, so it

199
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: kind of plays to that room. But there is a

200
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: little bit of a timing mechanism there that you have

201
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: to slow down a little bit. Although I really like

202
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: to pacete my material and enjoy the silence switch.

203
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a huge Johnny Carson Fan.

204
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: I thought he had just his look alone and just

205
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: the way he would stop and kind of look at

206
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: the audience or look at the camera, really take his

207
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: time with the joke, because a lot of comedy is timing,

208
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: and yes, yes, today I see a lot of comedians

209
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: kind of just running through material. There is really no

210
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: timing anymore, which I don't know. I feel like, even

211
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: though the room is twenty thousand seats, you could almost

212
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 3: for me, the joy is just letting the silence kind

213
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 3: of take over the room and you could almost draw

214
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: them in by just being quiet.

215
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a it's a.

216
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: Different performance, not so much where it's you know, strikingly

217
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 3: opposite of what I'm doing in a smaller room, but yeah,

218
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: there's a there's a timing aspect there that you have

219
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: to give a little bit more room for just so

220
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: the audience could catch on somebody.

221
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: A comedian actually once told me that there are really

222
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 4: three phases of comedy. The first is when you can

223
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 4: make yourself laugh, the second is when you can make

224
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 4: your friends laugh, and the third is when and you

225
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 4: can get people to pay you to make them laugh.

226
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 4: So my question is, when did you realize that you

227
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: could actually get paid for this.

228
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: So I fell in love with stand up comedy really

229
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: early on. I used to go over to my cousins

230
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: on Saturday and watch kind and have cable, and he

231
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: used to tape all the like the Danger Fields a

232
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: night at the improv. I used to watch all that

233
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: and I used to be fascinated how these comedians used

234
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: to memorize the stuff that it was like it was

235
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: the first time they were telling it. And then I'm like, oh,

236
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: this is this is something I really really enjoy watching.

237
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: And then when I got into school, I really enjoyed

238
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 3: doing book reports, getting in front of the class.

239
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: I was like a shy guy. I was not the.

240
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: Class clown I was. I actually despised the class clown.

241
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: I was always like, sit down, not funny. So yeah,

242
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 3: I always had this dream of like getting into this business,

243
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: but coming from the northwest suburbs of Chicago, Hollywood seem like.

244
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 2: A different planet.

245
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: But as I as I, you know, went through my

246
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: life and graduated college, I'm like, I'm going to give

247
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 3: this a shot. And you know, I knew it was

248
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 3: you know, it's a long shot. But I definitely had

249
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: a work ethic instilled by my family and they told me,

250
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: you know, whatever you do, you do it at one

251
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 3: hundred and ten percent. And I didn't give myself like

252
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 3: an out a lot of people come to Hollywood. I'm

253
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 3: going to give myself five years and if I don't

254
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: make anything of it, I'm going to go back home

255
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: or whatever, which I think you're setting yourself up for

256
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: failure by doing that.

257
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: So I said, this is you know, comedy or bust.

258
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 3: This is the only thing I really really enjoyed doing,

259
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: and I want to try and make a living at it.

260
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 3: It wasn't about getting famous or celebrity or anything like that.

261
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: It was strictly I enjoy storytelling. I really love making

262
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 3: people smile. And there's no better feeling, whether it's twenty

263
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 3: thousand people or my mother.

264
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: When people laugh to me, it's creates a feeling in me.

265
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 3: What people don't understand is as good as they feel

266
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: laughing in the audience, I feel ten times better than

267
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: what they're feeling. So, you know, in order to make

268
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 3: a living doing it, you know, I always knew it

269
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: was a business, which I take it very seriously. You know,

270
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: I know how hard it is for people to come

271
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: out to watch the show, you know all that's involved,

272
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: from maybe getting a babysitter to paying for the parking

273
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: to you know, fighting weather if it's snowing in the.

274
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: City, whatever it is.

275
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 3: So I mean, people are coming out to see me,

276
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 3: so I take that very seriously to give them a

277
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: show where they will not only leave thinking wow, I

278
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: really got my money's worth that they would leave saying

279
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: to other people you got to go see this guy.

280
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: So yeah, I have fun doing it. It's really fantastic

281
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 3: to do stand up comedy. But also it is a business,

282
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: and I'm not blind to the fact that you know it, Sebastian.

283
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: You know, most people, they never really know the mileage

284
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: that performers put in. That you need to get to

285
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: a place where you feel you're in the vibe and

286
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: you know what you're doing. And you did you know,

287
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: Bill Burr's a buddy, and he told me he ran

288
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: into you years ago. Was it on Fulham Street? You

289
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: guys had an apartment? Was it Fulham when I got

290
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: the street?

291
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: Roar when I told him, yeah.

292
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Bill told me he'd always run into you.

293
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: And you did all your time at the comedy club,

294
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: and you're doing it and believing in it. You know,

295
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: there comes a point even like with us singers, you know,

296
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: we had to put in mileage. We're scared to death,

297
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: We're not really got a hold of ourselves. When did

298
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: it kick in? What year after all that mileage were

299
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: you putting in? Were you onto something? And around? You know,

300
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: that whole physical vibe of yours is part of the

301
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: magic of you, Like you know, I loved Kennison Carrie

302
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: does it well. It's a two part question, you know, One,

303
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: when did a kick in for you? And when it did?

304
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: Who around that doesn't have the it everything that you've

305
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: got that encompasses you, that makes you laugh, that hasn't

306
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: made it, that just doesn't have all of that that's

307
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: going to make it happen for them? If you know

308
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: where I'm going with that.

309
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the first question I realized, I don't know,

310
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: I'd say seven to eight years in I started to

311
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: filing and find my voice, and you know it was

312
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 3: through a lot of trial and air. Young comedians come

313
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: up to me and go, oh, you know, like, what

314
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 3: do you recommend I'm just getting in the stand up comedy.

315
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: What do you recommend? That's all him?

316
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: I recommend you just treating this like if you were

317
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: bodybuilding and you were going to do a bodybuilding show.

318
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: There is hours and hours and hours.

319
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: That go into the gym to work every muscle that

320
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: you have on your body to make it look like

321
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: a statue at by competition time.

322
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: And that's the same thing. It's it's all about repetition.

323
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: You know.

324
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: I used to go and do comedy and you know,

325
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 3: three or four sets a night Monday through you know, Saturday.

326
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: I think it maybe maybe took Sunday off, but I

327
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: felt like I was if I was taking a night off,

328
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 3: I was almost like doing myself a disservice because I

329
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 3: would miss out on a learning experience on stage. You know,

330
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 3: every time you got up there, something would happen, whether

331
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 3: it be a heckler or you would get into a

332
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 3: almost like this zone of improving on stage with the

333
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 3: just one idea. And I also felt like, who's in

334
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 3: the audience. You know, I don't know who's in that audience.

335
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: There's somebody that could come in and go, Wow, this

336
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: this guy's funny. Let's give him a shot here or there.

337
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: So the more stage time I got, the more chances

338
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 3: I felt like it would give me not only to practice,

339
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 3: but get myself in front of the right people. And

340
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 3: as far as people today who I think are funny

341
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 3: or what have you, I don't know.

342
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: It's a hard question, I guess to ask.

343
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: I'm not piped into the comedy scene as far as

344
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: like going to comedy clubs and going, Oh that that

345
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: cat's funny, this girl's funny, or what have you. I mean,

346
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 3: Nate Bergatzi seems to be a guy who seems to

347
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 3: be setting his audience. He's really coming up. We're going

348
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 3: to do a show here and at the Netflix is

349
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: a joke at the Hollywood Bowl together with Gaffigan and Seinfeld.

350
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: But I guess I don't know a lot of young

351
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 3: comedians on their way up that either have it or

352
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 3: maybe don't have it.

353
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 2: I don't know.

354
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 3: I'm not really I don't know, Paul Listen, I got

355
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 3: two kids six and four.

356
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 2: I barely got time for my own comedy let alone.

357
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: Anybody Do they get what you're doing, Sebastian? Are they

358
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: into it? Because my kids fluffed me off with my

359
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: music for a long time. But are they hip to

360
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: what you're doing?

361
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they've been to a couple of shows.

362
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: They know Daddy makes people laugh, you know, and for

363
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 3: me also too, you know, the struggle being a performer

364
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 3: is I'm also I'm a father first, and I want

365
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 3: to be with my family for those moments.

366
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: You know.

367
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: My daughter has a gymnastics meet tomorrow at seven point

368
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 3: thirty in the morning, and you know, I've been invested

369
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 3: in this gymnastics. I've been to every meet, and then

370
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 3: I'm starting to think, Man, when I start touring in July,

371
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 3: you know, some of these moments I'm not going to

372
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 3: be able.

373
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 2: To go to.

374
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: And I know you can't go to everything, but you

375
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 3: know there's that struggle there with me too, going geez.

376
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: You know, I don't want to look back, you know,

377
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: twenty years from now, going what the hell was I

378
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 3: doing in you know, Norfolk, Virginia July eleventh, when my

379
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: daughter was doing a recital and I missed it.

380
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: I hear you, there's there's there's that whole thing, you.

381
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: Know, I went through at Sebastian. I have five girls

382
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: and I got nine grandchildren. And to put the quality

383
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: time in because you're doing what you're doing because you

384
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: love it. They got to get it. But it's all

385
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: it's all quality time and not quantity.

386
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 2: No, I agree. I think that's definitely true.

387
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: It's not so much all these hours, but it's the

388
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 3: hours that mean a lot that you got to concentrate on.

389
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, they're kind of a wearable my daughter more

390
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: so than my son.

391
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 2: But yeah, they know that daddy's a clown.

392
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: So Paul was talking about your physical comedy before I

393
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 4: get into this anecdote. Full disclosure. Sebastian and I are friends.

394
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 4: It's like golf together. We hang out together, and.

395
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: He tells me every day Sebastian every day calls this

396
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: guy kills me. I love this guy. He's very fond

397
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: of you.

398
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 2: As you know. Well, Skip's a great guy.

399
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 4: One evening, I'm home and I get a phone call.

400
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 4: Phone lights up, says Sebastian's name. He said, you know, listen,

401
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 4: I'm down here Mobile, Alabama. He said, I'm doing a film,

402
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: feature film called About My File. So most incredible thing

403
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 4: is I had pictures of Robert de Niro on my

404
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 4: walls when I was a kid, and now Robert de

405
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 4: Niro is playing my father in this movie. I mean,

406
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,239
Speaker 4: somebody's got to pinch me. But I got I got

407
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 4: a problem here. I said, what's the problem. He said, well,

408
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 4: my back is killing me. I got this pain down

409
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 4: going down my leg. I don't know what to do.

410
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 4: I think, you know, somebody said I got to get

411
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 4: an epidural. I'm in Mobile. I don't know who to

412
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 4: get an epidural from. I said, so, what are you

413
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 4: calling me for? He said, because you know everybody. So

414
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 4: I forged to know somebody. You figured, I know somebody

415
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 4: in Mobile, Alabama can give you an epidural. So I

416
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 4: called my friend Neil Elatroge, who was probably the greatest

417
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 4: orthopedic surgeon in America, and I called him. I tell

418
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 4: him the story, and he said, well, I don't know

419
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 4: anybody in Mobile, but I've got a doctor I think.

420
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 4: He said he was in Montgomery. It's like about an

421
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 4: hour and a half away in a car. I said, well,

422
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 4: you make a three hour round trip. I said, I

423
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 4: think so. He's really struggling and he's got to make

424
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 4: this movie. So Neil made a phone call. Next thing,

425
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 4: we know, you're off to see this doctor who shot

426
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 4: you up, and you know, got through this so that

427
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 4: you could get the film done.

428
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: Can you imagine I'm in Alabama.

429
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: I'm calling Skip in La asking if he knows anybody

430
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: to help me out in Alabama.

431
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, I think, I think I was.

432
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: I was.

433
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 3: I was in Birmingham, face down on at a doctor's

434
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 3: table with a needle about twelve inches long going into

435
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: my spine.

436
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: And you're doing your first film, You're with de Niro,

437
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: you're learning a script, all of that perfect stuff, and

438
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: it shows you it's an imperfect world. How the hell

439
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: do you get through that? How do you do that

440
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: with that pain and having to address that and knowing

441
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: what that process is like doing a film? How did

442
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: you get through it?

443
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 2: Uh?

444
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. Every morning I was stretching, I was

445
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 3: working out. I was trying to keep myself loose and limber.

446
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 3: But no matter kind of what I did, it really

447
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: didn't help my psiatic pain. Recently, I've taken up and

448
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 3: I found that pilates was the It is the best

449
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 3: thing for you know, posture and.

450
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: Core stability and all that.

451
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: But getting through that movie it was not It was

452
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 3: not a good experience for me for multiple reasons. A.

453
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 3: I was in severe pain. B. I felt like, you know,

454
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 3: I've never done a movie from soup to nuts like that,

455
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 3: and I'm doing it with arguably one of the greatest

456
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: who's ever done it. So there was a lot of

457
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 3: doubt and whether or not I could accomplish this feat.

458
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 3: So I was really, really in my head. But I

459
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: learned a ton from working with de Niro, and for me,

460
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: it was like a ten week intensive acting class. For me,

461
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: I've acted before movies, but nothing, nothing to this level.

462
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 3: So I kind of took that experience and used it

463
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: as a learning experience for future projects. But yeah, my

464
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 3: father was on set. You know, it's not that I

465
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 3: think I got my father teaching Robert de Niro.

466
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: How to be him on a set.

467
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 3: My dad, you know, he's seventy what is he seventy

468
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 3: six at the time, and he's a hairdresser and he

469
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: had to come and take three days off to come

470
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: teach de Niro, you know, how to do hair on

471
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 3: the set. And my father was like, how much am

00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 3: I getting for this?

473
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 2: And I'm like, what, I'm losing clients at the Swan.

474
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 3: Because I got to come and teach de Niro And

475
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, Dad, yeah.

476
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 2: De Niro.

477
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: But my dad could you know, he didn't give a

478
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 3: shit who it was. He just he was he was losing.

479
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 3: He was losing die Jabs.

480
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: Were you giving de Niro any comedy tips? I mean,

481
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: he's done comedy before, but I mean it was so personal.

482
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: I saw the film, it was wonderful. Are you giving him?

483
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: I mean, do you dare give him any tips? Because

484
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: we all know he's a sweetheart and he's just so talented.

485
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 1: Did you lay anything off on him in terms of

486
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: comedy tips because it was so personal for you?

487
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he had asked me a couple of

488
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 3: questions in regards like how would your father do this

489
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 3: or that? But the relationship between him and I on

490
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: set was very, very distant, you know, like we it's

491
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 3: like cut and it's not like we were just hanging

492
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 3: out going hey hey, Bob, what are you doing tonight

493
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 3: for dinner?

494
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 2: And it was none of that.

495
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 3: It was he went to his chair and I think

496
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: got on the phone and opened up another noble.

497
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: And I was in my line. So he was very professional.

498
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 3: He helped me a lot with the acting, but as

499
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 3: far as like kind of shooting, there was not a

500
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 3: lot of Number one, not necessarily because of him.

501
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: It was because of me too, because.

502
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: I was trying to, you know, learn my not my lines,

503
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 3: but like figure out what I was going to do,

504
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 3: and and yeah it was there was no real tips

505
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 3: offered my way to him, but definitely the other way around.

506
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: And did you get along with your father?

507
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 2: You don't want my father to leave, so he didn't know.

508
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: He's like, where are you going?

509
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 6: My Dad's like, I gotta I gotta work, Bob, and

510
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 6: and he's like, no, no, you gotta you gotta stay

511
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 6: here and help me.

512
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 2: And my Dad's like, you know, I can't. I gotta

513
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 2: go back. I gotta go back home. So it was

514
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 2: definitely a great experience.

515
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 3: And to share that with my father and my family,

516
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 3: my mother and my wife.

517
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 2: My sister, all of us.

518
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 3: Uh, it was definitely something I never saw in the

519
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 3: cards for me. But I mean I got a movie

520
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 3: out there that Robert de Narroll was playing my father.

521
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 3: So if it all ended for me today, I think

522
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: I think I'm all right.

523
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a great film.

524
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 4: You know when you were talking, you and Paul were

525
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 4: talking about Madison Square Garden, which to me, that's the ultimate.

526
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 4: I mean, if you perform and you go to any athlete, basketball, player, hockey,

527
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 4: there's something magical about being in Madison Square Garden. I

528
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 4: mean it's just it's the pinnacle. But what was like

529
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 4: the worst place you ever performed?

530
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: Worst place?

531
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 3: I think it was up in Mantika or Mantiko is

532
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: northern California. I think it's the meth capital of the world.

533
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 3: The problem with stand up comedies people think they could

534
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 3: throw that. You just throw it up anywhere, whether it.

535
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 2: Be a restaurant or whatever.

536
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, we're gonna have comedy tonight, but really

537
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 3: you need kind of a stage lighting. But this was

538
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 3: in a boxing ring. It was a bar that had

539
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: a boxing ring in the bar and behind the boxing

540
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 3: ring was a bowling alley. And we arrived as me

541
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: and two other comedians and we're like, where's the show

542
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 3: and they're like, it's going to be in the boxing

543
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 3: ring tonight, and I said, so, you know.

544
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: No introduction, no nothing, you just get in the boxing ring.

545
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 3: There's fresh blood on the canvas from the evening before,

546
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 3: and you know, people are they don't even know comedy

547
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 3: is happening. They're drinking at the bar watching sports, which

548
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: is another thing. It's like they still kept the sports

549
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 3: on while comedians on stage and you know, I'm doing comedy,

550
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: you know, to whatever, twenty three people in a sports

551
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 3: bar while somebody's picking up a spare behind me. So,

552
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 3: but you need those nights, you know, you know, talking

553
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 3: about like the difference today in comedy, in anything in

554
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: the entertainment now opposed to you know, back when you

555
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 3: had to put in the reps and do the work

556
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: and whatnot.

557
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 2: There is no substitute for that.

558
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 3: There's you know, I don't care how many Instagram videos

559
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 3: you put out in your living room, there is no

560
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 3: substitute that for actually going out and getting in front

561
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 3: of a live audience and performing. Whether you're a singer,

562
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 3: a dancer, a comedian, those definitely lay the foundation for

563
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 3: your your career and make you a seasoned pro. So,

564
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: you know, I relished at the time. I was like,

565
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: you know, I was. I was scared up there, you know,

566
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 3: I was. I was reeling. But you need those moments

567
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: in your career because when you're performing in front of

568
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 3: Madison Square Garden and something goes awry or someone you know,

569
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 3: I was in Atlantic City at the Bergata and I

570
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 3: was performing in the round and there was a commotion

571
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 3: in the crowd. I didn't know what it was. I

572
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: thought it was a fight. I thought something had happened.

573
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 3: Maybe somebody keeled over and had a heart. I don't

574
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: know what was going on, but they had to stop

575
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: the sh because there was a variety of different sections

576
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 3: that were having this issue where there was commotion and

577
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 3: they had I had to get off stage for them

578
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: to figure out what was going on. And I was backstage, going,

579
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 3: what's going on that we don't know?

580
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 5: Uh.

581
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 3: It turned out that someone threw up and it caused

582
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: a chain reaction amongst the audience, and everybody who saw

583
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 3: the throw up started to throw up. So we had

584
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 3: about five five or six different people hacking on.

585
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 7: You know, they had to bring up a hazdmat team

586
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 7: in to clear the vomit, and then I had to

587
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 7: go up. You know, after a forty minute break, I

588
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 7: had to go back up and finish the show.

589
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: So you know, if I was if I didn't have

590
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: those reps before that happened, I would have been totally

591
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: lost on how to handle that situation. But you know,

592
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 3: I got up there and I and I you know,

593
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: made kind of fun of the whole what had happened,

594
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: and then you know, moved down with my materials. So yeah,

595
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 3: I mean it's, uh, you never know what's gonna happen

596
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 3: in a live show, And if you don't have those

597
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 3: reps behind you, I think it's a service.

598
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 8: Yeah.

599
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: I've seen so much of that, and if you're not

600
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: ready for it, it throws you. I'll never fee a

601
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: Tody Fields. You remember the comic Tody Fields. No, anyway,

602
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 1: she was one of the I love talking to you

603
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: because all the guys I grew up with. Everyone I

604
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: talked Today's never heard Alan King, Jerry Lewis, of course, right,

605
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: I know of them.

606
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

607
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: So she hires this French singer, Charles Asnevoor. I you

608
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: heard of him. No, So anyway, Charles asnefor is a

609
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra of France, I mean huge, and when he

610
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: came to this country eventually did big business. She gets

611
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: it in her head to bring him to down to Miami.

612
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: I think it was the Fountain Blue of the Eden

613
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: Rock and they hired this French singer who sings in

614
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: French and he opens the show for Tody Field's places jammed.

615
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: You know, Miami was the place run by the boys.

616
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: Everybody was there. It was the glamour spot. And this

617
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: guy gets up and starts singing in French and some

618
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: woman in the front stands up and she goes, Sadie,

619

Speaker 1: what time you're going to the pool tomorrow? Well that

620
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: was it. The act was over. Everybody left. They didn't

621
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: want to watch him. But he came off. He said, look,

622
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: I've never had this, but I'm prepared for it. But

623
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: you're so right when you get those instances. I've had

624
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: people with heart attacks in the audience, fights in the audience.

625
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: You got to really hold your ground around how to

626
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: handle it, because it throws the shit out of you.

627
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 4: You're not prepared, Paul. So it tells the Bastian the

628
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 4: story about what happened the time with your tooth when

629
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 4: you were performing.

630
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus. You know, as a kid, I played hockey,

631
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: so you know I got banged up between the no

632
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: and the teeth. So I had a cap in the

633
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: front that they kept fixing as the technology got better.

634
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: And you went playing the Bally's in Las Vegas, and

635
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: I got this dentist put in the new cap up

636
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: in front, and you know, I said, okay, cool. So

637
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: I go on stage and I'm in about ten minutes.

638
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, but I started singing some

639
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: high note and my tongue hit the tooth, and the

640
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: fucking tooth flew out right ringside, and I'm going, what

641
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: the fuck, What the fuck? Now this woman is standing up,

642
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 1: I'm singing, I got the lip rolled around the teeth.

643
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: I have your tooth, mister. Oh my god, I took

644
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: the tooth. I canceled the show. I almost killed the dentist,

645
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: and I went back got it fixed. But I'll never

646
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: forget that night I got your tooth, mister, rag. Those

647
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: are moments you're not prepared for, Sebastian, I can promise you.

648
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: I don't think anything can prepare for your teeth falling

649
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: out on stage.

650
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: Well, thank god it was just one one.

651
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 4: Your most recent comedy special. Is it me? You know

652
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 4: you tape that in Vegas? You wore a tuxedo. Why

653
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 4: was that white? You get all dressed up like that?

654
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 2: You know, I.

655
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 3: Grew up in a family where you kind of dressed up,

656
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 3: you know, like you're going out, put on your nice slacks,

657
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 3: We're going to dinner, going to church, you know, put

658
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 3: on your Sunday's best. And I would hear these stories,

659
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 3: you know, particularly from my parents saying, oh, you should

660
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 3: have been around when Vegas was Vegas, you know, and

661
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 3: the rat pack was there.

662
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 2: Everybody was dressed.

663
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 3: To the nines and you know, suit and cocktail dresses.

664
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 2: And now you go to Vegas.

665
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 3: And the woman's labya is hanging out on the blackjack table.

666
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 3: You know, it's like it's like there's no like the

667
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 3: class or decorum. You know, you got men walking around

668
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 3: in bathing suits and flip flops throwing the dice. So

669
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, I want to pay homage to

670
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: kind of old, old school Vegas and kind of dress up.

671
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 3: I asked the audience to wear tuxedos and cocktail downs

672
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 3: and let's bring kind.

673
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 2: Of like that old world back to Vegas.

674
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 3: And you know, looking back on that special, I typically

675
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 3: don't perform in tuxedos, so it does restrict my movement

676
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 3: a little bit. And then the audience, I'd say maybe

677
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 3: twenty five percent of them dressed up, and we had

678
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 3: to move the people that were in tuxedos to the

679
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 3: front because it looked like no one really, no one

680
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 3: really even.

681
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: Listened to the request of dressing up.

682
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, you know, I'm Paul, you could

683
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 3: probably speak to this, you know, work in Vegas, in

684
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 3: the era.

685
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: Did you perform there and just get handed a sackic

686
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 2: cash on the way out? How did that? I mean,

687
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 2: how did that work?

688
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: I went to the Underworld. I don't say nothing. You know,

689
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: I started there in fifty eight. I worked for the boys,

690
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: but they ran everything. You worked the Copa Fountain, Blue Vegas.

691
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: When you worked there, it was legitimate. I mean in

692
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: terms of your payment. You know, working with Frank and

693
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: Sammy and Dean, we had a lot of licenses where

694
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: we took advantage, but by and large, till the g

695
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: came in and started getting heavy on them, you'd get

696
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: a check. I was earning maybe fifteen thousand dollars a

697
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 1: week doing two shows a night. I'd get a check.

698
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: But they were the best to work for. You shook

699
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: their hands, you had a deal, nothing like these characters today.

700
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: You didn't even need a contract. They protected you. Anything

701
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: you wanted you got, you got paid. As I said, legitimately,

702
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: there was no under the table cash. The fallacy was

703
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of money around there, Sebastian. You know,

704
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 1: the government and everybody that was all over them felt

705
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: they were making millions. You know. I'd go in the

706
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: back room where they were accounting the cash, and maybe

707
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: there was like fifty thousand, seventy thousand. They would make nothing,

708
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: and they'd divvated up in Saint Louis and Chicago. But

709
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of money, so we weren't really

710
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: living with a lot of cash. I mean, we'd play

711
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: around at the tables, you know, we'd get markers that'd

712
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: give us chips. You know, sometimes he wouldn't pay the markers.

713
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: And then sometimes the dealers who we knew there were mechanics,

714
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: had single decks. They'd come in and they you know,

715
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: we're all buddies. We'd tip them. You'd say, hit me,

716
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: he said, nah, you don't want it. They'd hit and break.

717
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: So it was that kind of camaraderie. But in terms

718
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: of getting cash, no, the cash flew out of the casinos,

719
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: out of the back rooms, and it was divvied up

720
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: all over the country. And as I said later on,

721
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: when I stayed in Vegas had been there for years,

722
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: they were bringing Brinks trucks up to the MGM and

723
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: to Steve Winn places with millions that they put in

724
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: the cages. But back then, with the boys in the sixties,

725
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: there was not a lot of cash floating around.

726
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 2: It just didn't exist.

727
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just feel and Paul, listen, even if you

728
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 3: got cash, you're not gonna tell me on a podcast

729
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 3: that you were walking away with sas of cash.

730
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: I believe me. I'm Italian.

731
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 3: I understand the the you know what you have to say,

732
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 3: But in regards to like them treating the talent like

733
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, nowadays it's so corporate. I mean,

734
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 3: you ask for one thing and it's got to go

735
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 3: through seven different people in order for you to get

736
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 3: something in a dressing, you know what I'm saying.

737
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 2: So it's again, I don't know, I felt like.

738
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: That totally different.

739
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I felt like I was born in the

740
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: wrong era.

741
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes you know what, you're right because the way that

742
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: I saw it before Steve Winn changed it, it was

743
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: so free. It was so loose in terms of everybody

744
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: respecting each other, everybody there for each other. It was

745
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: a hang. Anything that we wanted the boys were there

746
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: and they'd give it to you and it'd got done

747
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: right on the moment. And they were just the best

748
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: to work for. I loved working for those guys. I

749
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: just loved it. And we missed them because when they

750
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: came in, you know, it took over. Howard Hughes was

751
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: the turning point. That's when Frank had his big fights there.

752
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: They just wouldn't give him anything anymore, and he you know,

753
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: I won't. I'm not going to divvy up on what.

754
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: But he had some major encounters with him, and he

755
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: moved to Caesar's Palace and we all ultimately went over there.

756
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: But they were the guys you got everything instantly. They

757
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: couldn't do enough for you. You know, I was never

758
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: owned by them. I was a kid doing well for them.

759
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: Nobody ever muscled me. They were gentlemen, these guys, and

760
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: every day they were dressed appropriately, they handled you appropriately.

761
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: When the day was done, they'd rip up the showroom,

762
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: bring in a work light, sit down and they played

763
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: gin for a dollar a point, take their coats off,

764
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: and it was very to the order of the way

765
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: they like their life. I love those days. When it

766
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: got corporate, it got real weird.

767
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 4: And now Paul, you know, Sebastian has a long term

768
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 4: deal with the win Encore a residency, if you will,

769
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 4: which is great because for all of us who still work,

770
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 4: you know, it's not the work, it's the travel, I mean,

771
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 4: travel is just I was talking to Doc Rivers once,

772
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 4: our friend, the basketball coach. They were going out on

773
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 4: a five game road trip. I said, what's the toughest

00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 4: thing about a five game road trip? He said, the packing?

775
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 4: You know, it's not the playing, it's not the practice,

776
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 4: it's the packing. But now you know, with this deal

786
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 3: just pop around different different places in North America and Canada.

787
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,280
Speaker 2: We're going to do so. Yeah, I love Vegas.

Speaker 3: come back Sunday and talking no no real wear and

790
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 3: tear into your body traveling. I mean, I don't know,

791
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 3: I'm fifty and I'm starting to definitely feel the aches

792
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 3: and pains of years and years of you know, sitting

793
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 3: in those seats, and you.

794
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 2: Know, I don't I don't know how to sit in

795
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 2: a plane seat.

796
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 3: Still, I'm crossing my legs, I'm you know, I'm sliding

797
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 3: down on the chair. I still still don't even know

798
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 3: how to how to even get comfortable on these things.

799
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: So what are you flying, Sebastian? What kind of plane

800
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: you fly in?

801
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 2: What kind of plane?

802
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 5: Well?

803
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: Are you a private? You're going private?

804
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 3: Sometimes I do when it's like hard to get to

805
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 3: a place commercially and it's kind of a tight turnaround.

806
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 3: I I generally fly on a private aircraft and depends.

807
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: May Sometimes I'm with my family, I'll do it.

808
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 3: I don't do it as much as I used to,

809
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 3: just because you know, I mean there's a cost involved

810
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 3: to flying private.

811
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 2: You know everybody's like, oh, fly private.

812
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 3: Well, I mean yeah, it's it's fifty grand, you know,

813
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 3: to fly private, but it's a thousand to fly commercial.

814
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 3: And I'm I don't got any problem boarding an airplane,

815
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 3: as you know, just to save myself forty forty nine

816
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 3: and k.

817
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: But listen, airports and flying to a eight like it

818
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: was years ago. It ain't easy.

819
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 2: No, it's not.

820
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: It's either canceling the stuff that's going on. It ain't easy.

821
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we do it, but the luxury of the

822
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: other you've kind of earned it because you want to

823
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: get somewhere and be rested. But I've never seen you,

824
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: know you. I travel all over the world, the Asian airports,

825
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: so you're pan reports they're sensational. But you know, God

826
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: bless our country. You don't know if you're going to

827
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: get on a flight in two days. The crap that's

828
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: going on in our country, it's unfortunate, and I feel

829
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: for everybody, and I do it. My band gets stuck

830
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: places for two days. It's just not like it was

831
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: man And like you said, well, when you got to

832
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: get in somewhere, it's good to have that to preserve yourself.

833
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I hear you with your bones at fifty,

834
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: but come sit with me at eighty two and I'll

835
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: give you a couple of little lessons.

836
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 4: And you know, you talk about the time also as

837
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 4: a time factor, that you know, time is so precious,

838
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 4: and that's what I was going to ask, you know.

839
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 4: I know Sebastian's are foody, and you had a show

840
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 4: on the Food Network called Well Done that I thought

841
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 4: was great, but you don't do it anymore? Why is

842
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 4: that just curious? You'd ask our friend David Zaslaw. Now,

843
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 4: I had this show on Discovery and it was fun.

844
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 3: I mean, the whole intention of the show was I

845
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 3: had interest in the food world, and I was like,

846
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 3: how do I marry the culinary world with the comedy world.

847
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,439
Speaker 3: And we came up with this idea of like, I'm

848
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 3: interested in how sushi gets made, and we went out

849
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 3: and we talked to about sushi chefs and they taught

850
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 3: us how to make sushi. And I really had fun

851
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 3: doing it. It's just that, you know, the show, I

852
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 3: guess they wanted more of a for whatever the reason.

853
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 3: You know, they don't renew these things. We tried to

854
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 3: get it somewhere else, but it just didn't didn't fly,

855
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 3: but it was good for a while. Last we did

856
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 3: we did it during COVID and I really enjoyed it.

857
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 3: If there's an opportunity to do a well done two

858
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 3: point zero, I'm definitely up for it. But you know,

859
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 3: I kid about David. He definitely gave me a shot

860
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,919
Speaker 3: at a time where I really needed it. And then

861
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 3: subsequently we're doing the show now with Chuck Laurie on

862
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 3: Max called Bookie.

863
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 4: Yeah that the person was great.

864
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: Hey, Sebastian, how many times have you been to Italy?

865
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: And where do you like to eat over there?

866
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 4: That's my hang.

867
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: I love it over there.

868
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. So my father and I went back.

869
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 3: I went for the first time, I think, and I

870
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 3: think it was two thy fourteen, maybe ten years ago,

871
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 3: and my father hadn't been back since he since he left,

872
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 3: so it was fifty years.

873
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 2: He was going back for the first time with me,

874
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 2: and it was something else. Say.

875
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 3: He grew up in a small town in Sicily called Sheffalou,

876
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 3: which is about an hour east of Palermo. And we

877
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 3: went back and he's showing me all the you know,

878
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 3: this is where I learned to play soccer, this is

879
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 3: where your grandfather had his barbershop. And I'm crying right

880
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 3: and he ain't doing nothing. My Dad's like stoneface. And

881
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 3: even while I'm crying, I go nothing there. You ain't

882
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 3: feeling nothing. You're here with your son where you grew up,

883
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 3: and you act like we're at target, you know, like

884
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 3: where's the where's the emotion? And later on he said

885
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 3: I was I wasn't shock when I was there.

886
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 2: I didn't really even take it all in. It had

887
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: he went back again without me, and.

888
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 3: He he felt it then, but while he was there

889
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 3: he was really really kind of taken aback by the

890
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 3: whole experience. And since then, my wife and I have

891
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 3: gone for our honeymoon. We really loved the Amalfi Coast there,

892
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 3: and we went to Tuscany Florence. I like the food

893
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 3: better in the south, not that I'm not into the

894
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 3: north and northern food, but the further south you go,

895
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 3: I believe the food is.

896
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 2: Far above what you would get in in the place

897
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 2: like Milan. I mean, especially in Sicily.

898
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 3: There's so many different cultures of food there, you know,

899
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 3: because it's been conquered so many times. You have a

900
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 3: lot of Middle Eastern influence there as well. So yeah,

901
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,919
Speaker 3: it's a great price. Every time I go someplace other

902
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 3: than Italy, I tell my wife why didn't we go

903
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 3: to Italy? You know, we went to Turkey one year.

904
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 3: It's Stanbul and it's nice, but you know, I'm walking

905
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 3: around going why didn't we just go to Florence? Why

906
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 3: don't we got to try anything else? I'm very partial

907
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 3: to Italy.

908
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I go every year.

909
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean I lived there in the sixties. You know,

910
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: Morricone was my arranger and I was recording in Italian.

911
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: So I got smitten with a place, you know, when

912
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: I was just a kid, and I go back every year,

913
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: and a daughter lived over there, and I agree, it's

914
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: the best hang for me every summer to go over there.

915
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: They've held that tradition and it's unlike anywhere else in

916
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 1: the world. Should go to Asian and get into that

917
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: Asian thing, but it Lea is the best, at least

918
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: the best.

919
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and our producer Jordan has an Italian connection. Jordan

920
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 4: should jump in here and tell Sebastian. He'll get a

921
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 4: kick out of it.

922
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 8: My girlfriend's name is Cheffaloo and they're from Cheffalou. Were

923
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 8: there over the summer. They're from Porticello and Cheffalu. We

924
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 8: go there all the time. They still got family, beautiful place.

925
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 8: I know, cheffalo Well.

926
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 3: Wow, you know, you don't run into a lot of

927
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 3: people that know about the town, and uh, once you

928
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 3: get there, it's it's like you know along that Lungo

929
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 3: made street there and the town itself is so small

930
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 3: and quaint and has a lot of charm.

931
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 2: It's it's a real, real beautiful place. That's that's that's so,

932
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 2: that's so odd that and even her last name is

933
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 2: the town.

934
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, I got a question for you. My my mother

935
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 8: was half Italian and half Sicilian, and she always made

936
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 8: the distinction. And I'm half Italian, half Sicilian, I'm not Italian.

937
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 8: And everybody I know that that is half Italian or

938
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 8: partially Italian parties of Sicilian. They're very clear about making

939
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 8: the distinction. What is the difference to you? Do you

940
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 8: ever articulate the difference between being Italian and Sicilian? And

941
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 8: if there is a difference, what is it.

942
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 2: I don't know. The Sicilians, I know.

943
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 3: It's almost like there's a rivalry between the north and

944
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 3: the south in Italy.

945
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 2: So I think that's why.

946
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 3: People are very kind of passionate about Hey, I'm Sicilian,

947
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 3: I'm not Italian, but I grew up more on the

948
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 3: Sicilian side as far as my family is concerned, like

949
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 3: my father and there, I think they had more influence.

950
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 3: Although my mother always listens to these podcasts and she's like,

951
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 3: why don't you ever.

952
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 6: Talk about me in the You know, my mom is like, come,

953
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 6: I'm not in you act. You know that people got dying, so,

954
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 6: but yeah, my.

955
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 3: Mother's side was very kind of quiet, reserved. My mom

956
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 3: was kind of shy. My grandparents on my mother's side,

957
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 3: although we saw them a lot, we're just kind of like,

958
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 3: kind of a reserved people. But then you go on

959
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 3: my father's side, the Sicilian side, and that's where all

960
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 3: the characters are. That's where all the kind of the

961
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 3: loud and kind of boisterous, you know, personalities are on

962
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 3: that side.

963
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 2: I thought that side was just a lot.

964
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 3: There's a lot more comedy going on that side where

965
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 3: I could extract from how they were behaving or how

966
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 3: my father behaves to my mother. That that's kind of

967
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 3: where I went with the comedy. But the differences, I

968
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 3: don't know. For me, it was a little bit more

969
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 3: the volume. The Sicilians had more volume and more heated

970
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 3: arguments than maybe.

971
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 2: My mother other's side.

972
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're feeling out with your wife, Jordan,

973
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 3: but I take it by your last name, you are

974
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 3: nowhere near Italian.

975
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 8: No, I'm half I'm no, excuse me. My mother was

976
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 8: half Sicilian, half Italian, and so I got yeah, hilari.

977
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 8: Hilari was my my Sicilian Sicilian side. But yeah, no,

978
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 8: that scans from every just half Northern Italian, half Sicilian

979
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 8: that you definitely got more of the characters and more

980
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 8: of the volume from that from the southern half.

981
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Paul has bands that you know will

982
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 4: go to his concerts over and over again. And remember

983
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 4: when you know he was working with the Wind, you know,

984
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 4: we had Garth Brooks and people would say, this is

985
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 4: the fifty second time I've seen it. But it doesn't

986
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,399
Speaker 4: really happen with comedians, right, I mean unless the act

987
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 4: changes there it's if you're you did your routine, let's

988
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 4: say hypothetically at the win encore. You don't get people

989
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 4: that go and see the same act over and over

990
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 4: the way they would for Paul or other singers. Right,

991
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 4: it's not the same.

992
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 3: No, no, I mean there are people that come and

993
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 3: see the same thing over and over again in comedy,

994
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 3: but it's nowhere near the amount of people that come

995
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 3: to sing the same song at a concert.

996
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 2: Ye'ar in and year out.

997
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 3: So that's the challenge for comedians is you know people yeah,

998
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 3: you know, they once you hear a joke, you know

999
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 3: where it's going and they want to hear something new.

1000
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 2: So in this day and age where all your material

1001
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 2: basically is online.

1002
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 3: You have to You're almost forced to come up with

1003
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 3: the new material every time you go out on tour,

1004
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 3: whereas before, you know, in the eighties, these a lot

1005
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 3: of comedians they toured with the same material year in

1006
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 3: and year out, just because there was no way for

1007
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 3: anybody to see it. You know, there was no internet

1008
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 3: back then, so you could go to a city time

1009
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 3: and time again and maybe get away with doing the

1010
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 3: same act. But now they exposure is so abundant that

1011
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 3: there's no way you could. You could go on, you know,

1012
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: come to do another show in Chicago with the same material,

1013
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 3: you'll be booed.

1014
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 4: I love the way you get to change it up, though,

1015
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 4: because Billy Joel's done what one hundred shows at Madison

1016
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 4: Square Garden, and he's basically singing the same song over

1017
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 4: and over and over, right, I mean, but you get

1018
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 4: to change it up.

1019
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 1: Different, different, But on that point, that's an interesting point.

1020
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: Sebastian and Skip. In trying to stay contemporary and current

1021
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: and having to prepare it, at what point in there

1022
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: in the timing aspect, does it maybe become old in

1023
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: preparing it and going shit, I'm too late on this,

1024
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: How do you assess that to stay current but keep

1025
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: the timing of it and not get old like a

1026
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: lot of the political stuff. You see some comics are

1027
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 1: dealing with political terms. Well, it's by the time they

1028
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: finished writing it and doing it, it's old. It must

1029
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: be a concern trying to stay fresh on what's happening

1030
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: in a contemporary sense, if you know where I'm going.

1031
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if you're doing a lot of material

1032
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 3: in the political forum that it could be dated and

1033
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 3: maybe current events, you know, But I like to kind

1034
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,919
Speaker 3: of keep my material broad in the sense where, hey,

1035
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 3: you know, my family and I just went to Universal Studios.

1036
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 3: This is what happened at Universal Studios. Now, I could

1037
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 3: do that tonight at a show, and I could probably

1038
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 3: do that three years from now, and it's just still

1039
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 3: it's still relevant, just because you know, it's not a

1040
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 3: current event or something that's happening that people. It's like

1041
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:48,919
Speaker 3: a fleeting moment. So I like to really draw from

1042
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 3: my own life experience. And I was just talking to

1043
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:55,280
Speaker 3: Jay Leno the other day about you know, he doesn't

1044
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 3: have like an assistant that goes and runs errands for him.

1045
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:03,479
Speaker 3: He does it himself, and uh, that's the way you come.

1046
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 2: Up with material. You've got to go live your life.

1047
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 2: You got to be out there. You know.

1048
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,919
Speaker 3: You can't you know, you can't be isolated in your house,

1049
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 3: at least I can't. I don't sit at a desk

1050
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 3: writing material. I gotta, like, I gotta go and see

1051
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 3: things and experience, you know, the recital at school. I

1052
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 3: just went to a parent teacher conference yesterday for my

1053
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 3: four year old son.

1054
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, they ain't doing calculus over there.

1055
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 3: But you know I go, not only because it's my

1056
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 3: wife and I, you know, do everything together, but you know,

1057
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 3: there's morsels of material that come, you know, like I

1058
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 3: even asked, and this is just an idea I had yesterday.

1059
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,919
Speaker 2: I go, well, my kid acts up, here, is there

1060
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 2: like a punishment? Do we like?

1061
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 3: Because growing up I used to they used to. I

1062
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 3: used to stand on the wall at recess, facing the wall,

1063
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 3: and the teachers are like horror five.

1064
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 2: They're like, no, no, no, they don't. We don't do

1065
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 2: that here.

1066
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 3: If they do act up, they get they get to

1067
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 3: sit at a table and do a table choice.

1068
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 2: I go with the table.

1069
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 3: So it's like I always find a lot of humor

1070
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 3: in this is the way I grew up.

1071
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 2: This is what we did and this is what we're

1072
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 2: doing now, And.

1073
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 3: A lot of people could relate to that, just because

1074
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 3: you know, I used to do this doorbell bit where

1075
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 3: you know, this is how the doorbell rings back in

1076
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 3: the eighties, and now the doorbell rings now this is

1077
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:32,360
Speaker 3: what happens.

1078
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 2: So it's like a multi generational bit where you know, if.

1079
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 3: You lived in the eighties, you get it, if you

1080
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 3: live now, you get it, and everybody in between. So

1081
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,879
Speaker 3: a lot of my material is based in that kind

1082
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 3: of uh set up, just because I just think it's

1083
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 3: always fun to compare, you know, generations and whatnot. Not

1084
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 3: to say that one's better than the other. It's just

1085
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 3: that the slant is, you know, I don't know, I

1086
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,439
Speaker 3: grew up on the wall. I turned out pretty good,

1087
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 3: so why not for my son?

1088
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 4: You know?

1089
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get Hey, Sebastian, are you are you able

1090
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: to with all this amazing success? Are you able to

1091
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: enjoy your success?

1092
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 2: Now? No? H here's another Uh, here's another thing I

1093
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 2: wrestle with.

1094
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 3: You know, I'm trying not that you need to spend

1095
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 3: money to enjoy your success, but I always look at

1096
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 3: my career going you know what's enough, Like how much

1097
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:37,919
Speaker 3: is it enough?

1098
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 2: Like how much do you need to live? And do

1099
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 2: this or do that?

1100
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 3: And once you start, you know, listen, I don't have

1101
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 3: like a guideline. I didn't grow up this way. I

1102
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 3: grew up in a working middle class family, so you know,

1103
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 3: I grew up in a family where if we didn't

1104
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 3: eat at dinner, like our food, my father would eat

1105
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 3: everybody's food because it was wasteful.

1106
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 2: You know. And I still have that mentality.

1107
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 3: I feel like I grew up during the depression, like

1108
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 3: it's gonna go away.

1109
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 2: So I have that mentality, which is good to have,

1110
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 2: but you need to kind of like kind of loosen up,

1111
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 2: you know, Like I don't know, I still feel I still.

1112
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 3: Have that kind of working class mentality, but I'm living

1113
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 3: in a different class of people. So I always, you know,

1114
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 3: like everybody out in La this is, this is you know,

1115
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 3: skipkick relate to this.

1116
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 2: Everybody, especially at the golf course. Everybody's got a second home, right, you.

1117
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 3: Gotta go, you gotta placing cowboy, you gotta go to

1118
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 3: cow you gotta get a placing Cowbo. And I'm like,

1119
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 3: for what, I'd rather stay at the guy's place. That

1120
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 3: bought it in Cowbo rather than me, and yeah, and

1121
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,959
Speaker 3: leads because I know how much I got a home.

1122
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 3: I know how much it takes to like run this place,

1123
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 3: and there's no way I can have a second home

1124
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 3: somewhere else.

1125
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 2: I drive myself.

1126
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:06,760
