Speaker 5: was doing stunts where there was like broken glass everywhere.

87
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 5: There's a bunch of people like competing, like like we

88
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 5: were filming in there, and there'd be like some hipster

89
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,479

98
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 5: dude would walk in, like a Jamaican dude from the

Speaker 3: Yeah.

261
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, So that was just very surreal. I had to

262
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 6: just laugh it off. I almost was like mad, I

263
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 6: was gonna say, what the fuck I'm standing right here? Yeah,

264

290
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 5: bombing right in like a little club. It doesn't make

291
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 5: any sense. It's like abstract. He's the greatest artist of us.

328
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,560

336
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 6: like ten years ago or something with Neil Brennan, and.

337
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 5: You told me about this, but I love this story

338
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 5: you were doing. Your podcast was the podcast episode? No,

339
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 5: it was.

340
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: It was my last episode, so it ended on a

341
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: fucking turn.

342
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 6: I kind of quit after this, but we did a

343
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 6: few more, but the show kept going. I was like

344
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 6: the sound effects guy. Now I would have like a

345
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 6: laptop full of like a sample pads. Yeah, just like

346
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 6: a thought and drops. And I don't think Neil briefed

347
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 6: Chris Rock definitely what I'm doing. He just thought I

348
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 6: was some engineer guy or something. So I sat on

349
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 6: my laptop and we start going and he mentions Eddie

350
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 6: Murphy and then I hit the Eddie Murphy left and.

351
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: Chris Rock's like, what are you doing?

352
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: Man?

353
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: He's looking at me l man. I'm like, uh, I

354
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: just I do.

355
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 6: He's like it's not funny, and I'm like what And

356
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 6: I just kind of sat there, humiliated, like silently like what.

357
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 6: He's like pissed off that I did a sound effect.

358
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 6: He's liked, I'm trying to talk and you're doing a

359
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 6: sound effect. I'm like, okay, well that's kind of what

360
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 6: the show is.

361
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the show. So I just so I

362
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: bombed in front of.

363
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 6: Christopher oh no, and then uh yeah he didn't think

364
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 6: that was funny, I guess.

365
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 5: But he didn't get it. He should have been debriefed.

366
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 5: And Neil and in Motion didn't come to your rescue.

367
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 5: They just stayed silent. I think they did a little bit.

368
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 6: They were like, oh, he does the sounds, but it

369
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 6: was kind of like the damage was done.

428
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 5: corporations literally, like the guys from like Dorito's and Colgate

429
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 5: and stuff like that.

430
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: Networks every network used to have.

431
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 5: I don't know if they're still having this party called

432
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 5: upfronts around like May where they would fly not only

00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 5: the they.

434
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 6: Would have like Kanye performing. Yeah, they would drop a

435
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 6: lot of money. This was like the special just for

436
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,960

437
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: These are big.

438
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,479
Speaker 5: This is when they would splurge the majority of their

439
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 5: money because this is how they make their money. They

440
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 5: would like bring all the artists out from all the

441
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 5: TV shows to do like Q and A panels and

442
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 5: live events. And then they would like they would pay

443
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 5: like Kanye or jay Z somebody like a million bucks

444
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 5: to perform.

00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that the suits go. Man, that was so fun.

453
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: I had such a blast.

454
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 5: Yes, Colgate wants to sponsor the Brack Show or whatever,

455
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 5: Harvey Birdman or you know film and.

456
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 6: Exactly, so so like Colgate executives at an open bar.

457
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

458
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 6: Anyway, this this was a long time, I want to say,

459
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 6: like two thousand and seven or eight or something, and uh,

460
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 6: Tim and Eric were going to perform and I was

461
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 6: the first act and it was like six pm or whatever.

462
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 6: And as soon as I started, that's when like the

463
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 6: bar opened. It was just like raging, like herds of

464
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 6: people just drinking and going to the bar. And I'm

465
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 6: trying to like tell jokes and it's just like you

466
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 6: know that that sound of like I like that just

467
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 6: to crazy. It was like just people talking full blast everywhere. Yeah,

468
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 6: and I'm just basically performing to nobody, right.

00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: It was crazy.

470
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 6: I thought I was nuts, But you know what, I

471
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 6: wasn't performing to nobody because Seth Green actually was kind

552
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,919

553
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 5: hod as fuck, they're stone, they're drunk, like, so I

555
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 5: on stage.

556
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,840

557
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 5: Maybe I was like, you know, at fifteen minutes, I

558
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 5: was like this as much and like no one's giving

559
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 5: me the light. There's no structure and I don't even

560
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 5: know what band to bring on next.

561
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,600
