138
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: you just get the energy or the music the people

139
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: coming in doesn't half the crowds disgruntled shows.

140
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 4: Do they feel different now than when you started or

141
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: is it all kind of the same.

142
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: No, it's always different. Yeah, And also the elements that

143
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: the show energy changes. Like you said, somebody the crowd

144
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: can be a little somber whatever. Maybe I call them

145
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: listening crowds. They were listening crowd because they were they

146
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: really were there listening. And then you get the ones

147
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: that are too rowdy, that yell over the punchlines and

148
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: that kind of that kind of you don't want that either.

149
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: You don't want too rowdy and you don't want too sleepy.

150
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: So you want that nice in between good comedy crowds.

151
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, but you get them all. But you're changing

152
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,440

Speaker 2: was a It was a cell phone for my grandma

157
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: that had a roadary dial on it. It was years ago.

158
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: I made it. It would kill and if I did

159
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: it now, people no idea what people like, what it's

160
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: a roadary. Oh yeah, you don't have, but he used

161
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: to kill you know, twenty five years ago. I made it.

162
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: So when right when cell phones came out, I said,

163
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: my grant, my grandma has one I made us that

164
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: you can use it. You know, it was brilliant. Now

165
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 2: it's like what wow, God, there's a lot of things

166
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: that you find that are that are that uh or

167
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: sometimes the props are relevant, they stay relevant with the joke.

168
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 2: But there's another one an ice tray. So it was

169
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: an ice trade right away, we've lost.

170
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: Right, there's a listening.

171
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: It was an ice tray that I had a level

172
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: on it, so when you put it back in the freeze,

173
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: you wouldn't stole. Right, Well, it's always killed and still

174
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: would do if I do it as a classic. Here's

175
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 2: a care classic. But but I always say the same thing.

176
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: How many people don't know what an ice tray? A? Literally?

177
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: Most of the crowds like it's so funny though, because

178
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: it's you know, they get it, yeah right, but they

179
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: don't know they've never held one?

180
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: Do you do you go back to older props like

181
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 4: will you find something that you haven't used the years?

182
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: Really don't want to work that in again. No, no,

183
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: not unless it's an old prompt that can be relevant

184
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: to a new you know. I mean, like it was

185
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: a whatever of a phone case that used to keep

186
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: people from texting. And so then Trump comes out like,

187
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: oh it's for It's so great, it's it's a cell

188
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: phone case for Trump.

189
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: So we won't take it, you know, but.

190
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: But I do I find it. But you just, uh,

191
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: it's hard to sit in us in his chair and

192
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: not do that, right yeah, right there, we can't well

193
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: you know, I talk with Russian. But but yeah, so

194
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 2: that's the time I use it if I but I

195
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: don't want to. I'd never used to go back to

196
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: an old joke unless we a couple of a couple

197
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: of years ago we came up with, Uh, we were

198
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: doing a lot of road shows, and I thought we'd

199
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: put together a classic Carra top trunk and it was

200
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: kind of cool because I would do you know, now

201
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: it's time for all the people who've been the shows

202
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: years ago. It's time for care classics. And they were

203
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: all the old you know, from the eighties and nineties,

204
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 2: and that was fun going through them and doing them.

205
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: And like Listra says that no one was an ice train,

206
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: you know.

207
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to talk to you about your workshop

208
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: because you mentioned do you keep all of your sweat.

209
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: Shop full of children that are but there's a bar there.

210
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: We keep them, We keep them entertained.

211
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: You make all your props right, pretty.

212
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: Much all of them. I have had a few that

213
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: I've had to outsourced to to have because it would

214
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: be too much for me. You know, I would call

215
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 2: it engineering or something a motor or lights. Because sometimes

216
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: I'll come up with an elaborate idea and I'm like,

217
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 2: no one's gonna I can't make this. I mean, it

218
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: would be great if I could. But then I I'll

219
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: get someone out and the and they usually will come

220
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: back with something crazy.

221
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: Have you ever had an idea for a prop that

222
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: ended up being impossible to make?

223
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah? Probably? I mean I had one that I thought

224
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: was was pretty impossible, and I had I don't know

225
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: how the guy made it, and I sent him a drawing,

226
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: you know, like on a napkin. Uh, because I never

227
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't own a computer. I don't write

228
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: any jokes on computers.

229
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: Don't own a computer.

230
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: It's all just notes everywhere, thousands of books and notes

231
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: and no it's just a lot of comics ext like

232
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 2: John Rivers, and they all had index cards and get

233
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: people when you know, when she passed, they they found

234
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 2: all these crates of right now amazing and some I'm

235
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: sure that people you read and go, what the but

236
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: she would know it, you know, Yeah, a lot of

237
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: minds like that. There's just there's like drawings and people.

238
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: But it was it was the senator and it's just

239
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: crazy stop topic. But this senator, I don't know, man,

240
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: it's been probably ten years ago. It was in a

241
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: bathroom stall in the airport Minneapolis. Oh yeah, the guy

242
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 2: with the my legs are too wide, the shoot tap thing.

243
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: So I'm it's just the most bizarre thing, right, But

244
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, oh, I need a prop for this, right,

245
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: So I said, how about a briefcase where a shoe

246
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: comes like a leg comes down like a you know,

247
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: like an actual dress leg and a dress shoe like

248
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 2: a Gucci shoe, And I hit a button and it

249
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 2: comes down, and I hit another button and it taps

250
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: and then I come back up. You know, right, I'm thinking, Okay,

251
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: I'm wish for thinking and it is great, Like no,

252
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: I what the best part about it is the guy says,

253
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: I got it.

254
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: I got a shot.

255
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: It was like, yeah, what kind of shoe? Because I

256
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,119
Speaker 2: shoe and we can do anything, and it was unbelievable.

257
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: We did it all all the shows and it was

258
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: just I remember, I don't know if it's Jay Leno.

259
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: One of the shows, it was just like, how did you?

260
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't know. I thought of it.

261
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: Let me eave a loan. That alone is weird. But

262
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: the actually to actually really make it was an incredible one.

263
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 2: It it went down with one button and another button.

264
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: It would tap the button to come up, and it

265
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: was just people like that was great. It was so

266
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 2: topical and it was so.

267
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: Have you ever invented anything not for comedy? Like you

268
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 4: come up with something that.

269
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: Invent event and probably more than two dozen and three

270
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: dozen things that have that that have become items that

271
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: weren't comedy that really am tell us, well, they've never

272
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: been mine. So that's the sad part of the story

273
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: because I'm pretty, I'm pretty, I'm not that bright. I'm

274
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: sure your audience already knows that. So I I you know,

275
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: I never copywriter a trademarked anything. Where is when I

276
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: was a young kid. Now that I'm eighty, I think

277
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: I probably, but I would have there's a And I

278
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: tried pitching this to Shark Tank only because I had

279
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: met Mark you and I said, you know, I have

280
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: all these things that i've you know, you're so clever.

281
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 2: And I said, well, I've got about it two dozen

282
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: that I made that people have stolen, right, So it's like,

283
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: give me, give me one, I said, I one is

284
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: And it's very elementary. It's people. A lot of people

285
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 2: like toilet paper over the roll and some people like

286
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: it under. It's literally strange, really split right under people

287
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: are how many people under? How many people over? People?

288
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: And they would all whatever I said. So that's why

289
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: I made this. And it's a toilet paper dispenser, and

290
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: it's it's so elementary that you'd never realize that there's

291
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 2: the role right you want it over, it's over if

292
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 2: you want it under a screw and it goes over right,

293
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: and the crow would go and I would go right,

294
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: and I go, it's not even funny, but it's it's

295
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: And people were like, holy well, someone apparently saw me

296
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 2: do it on like you know, Regis and Kathy Lear

297
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: Tonight Show or whatever shows I did, and and even

298
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: called it the.

299
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: Toilet paper Flipper.

300
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: That's why I made the toy. But there's been one

301
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: hundreds of them. There was a baseball bat that you'd

302
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: swing and it would make a crack noise, so it

303
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: sounded like kids were getting it and has the crack bat.

304
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: So there's one hundreds of them. Yeah. I had a

305
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: toilet seat that would light up. Now that's right. How

306
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: many years we had that? Yeah, I had a you

307
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: know in the eighties, way before the ag probably well

308
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: eighties before the eighties, hold on back when I did

309
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: Jack Parr Show, I had that toilet. I'd have a

310
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: little button on it and it would light up and

311
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: so you wouldn't be on the rim and they'd pop.

00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: I think I might have gotten some of my father's

329
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: some of.

330
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 3: The toilet sea stuff.

331
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, like that part of his brain

332
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: maybe where I create and uh and imagine and think

333
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: of this stuff. Him being an engineer, I think that

334
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: I must have gotten that little part. I didn't get

335
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: anything else, but I got that.

336
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,600

00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: Before that he did Gemini, Skylab, Apollo, all the Apollos,

341
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: and then he ended the shuttle. He was involved in

342
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: the shuttle.

343
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: This is like my I'm a big space guy, so

344
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:17,920

345
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah he was. It was incredible for me. And as

346
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: a young kid, you don't you don't appreciate as much

347
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: right when you're that age because you want to go play, ride,

348
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,240

349
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to go to a launch, you know,

350
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: I want to ride my bike. So we're going to

351
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: go to the astronauts. I don't want to meet astronaut.

352
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,800

355
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: walked me in. I'm like, that's an astronaut's you know, yeah,

356
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: smoking a cigarette.

357
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: See you know, well they're healthy.

358
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well there did, just trying to get the last

359
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: one in. You know, they can't make space. But yeah, no,

360
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 2: it was. It was incredible looking back on it. Yeah,

361
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: my dad, you know, he invented a lot of the

362
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: things that were involved in the Shuttle. The one in

363
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: particular was not him himself, a team, but a team

364
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: of people, just like I have a team of the

365
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: Beta carrot team. Yeah, that team of people and uh,

366
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: I'm gonna write that time, but I'm gonna care with

367
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: a like a rocket team get beta carrots. And so

368
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: when the shuttle was when they had to take the

369
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: shuttle on top of the seven forty seven, Yeah, my

370
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: dad's team was what was the ones that had to

371
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: come up with the clamp that would hold it onto

372
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: the shuttle and also release it from the show, so

373
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 2: they wouldn't, you know, crash and didn't know if it

374
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: was gonna release and fly right, So how my dad

375
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 2: was so stressed out of course, I'd be like, what

376
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 2: are you working on? Is I'm trying to figure out

377
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: this clamp? But I'm like that sounds like fun? Cool? Yeah,

378
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: cool da great, good luck? And then it would have

379
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 2: happened the night we were all watching it and you know,

380
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 2: they didn't know, no one, NASA didn't know. They're all

381
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: in a room watching it, and I said, okay, really

382
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: release the shuttle, do you know? Boom and the clamp

383
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 2: let go and the shuttle went off and it just

384
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: went away, and everybody's like that could have been the

385
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: other way around.

386
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

387
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was incredible.

388
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: So you got your inventor brain. I think that little

389
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: chip maybe from your dad. Where did your stage presence

390
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: and desire to be on stage?

391
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 2: From my mom? The stripper? Perfect commendations?

392
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.

393
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I got my I got my personality, I'm

394
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: sure from my mother. My mother was and my dad

395
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: wasn't not funny. My dad was really funny. But he

396
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: was funny, you know, just like a joke telling way,

397
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: you know, old guy the joke, you know, and he

398
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 2: would tell him and that, you know, working in the

399
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 2: cul de Sac, and I'd sit there listen, I'm telling him,

400
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 2: and then I would go tell them and I'd get

401
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: in trouble to school because I was telling these jokes that

402
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 2: were inappropriate for school, but I didn't know they were funny.

403
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: The driveway, everyone else was laughing. No, did you tell

404
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: this joke in school today anymore? So?

405
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 3: Did you always want to be a comedian?

406
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: Then? I mean, going all the way back to I mean,

407
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think what age it was. But I

408
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: would watch like the Tonight Show, and uh, that was

409
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: it really because it was only three channels, the Tonight Show,

410
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 2: and I would I would sneak out and try to

411
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: watch the Tonight Show. And then when my mom would

412
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: let me watch it and i'd start, she'd say, you

413
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 2: really like the I just love the comedian. With all

414
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 2: the comedians that came on, it was just fascinating to me,

415
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: whether was it with George Carlin or Henny Youngman or

416
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 2: Buddy Hackett or whoever was on Don Rickles, all of them.

417
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: I just was so amazed. I was like, this is

418
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: so funny. But when you're in that age, you don't think.

419
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: You just think I want I'm gonna do that, right,

420
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 2: not in your age, like I'm going to be an astronaut. Great,

421
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: then you're like, oh you gotta be smart. Well all right,

422
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: you think you can just pick whatever profession you want,

423
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: which nowadays, which kids would just just picked something and

424
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 2: stick with it, right, Like, just just want to be something.

425
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 2: I always tell young people, you know, you're a lot

426
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: of you people like I don't know anything. We kind

427
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 2: of I think you do. Unless you have, you know,

428
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: inherit a billion dollars, you probably should find a job.

429
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: Even then, even then, really even just for your mental

430
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: and if you should.

431
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: Even if you're you're you're a son or daughter of

432
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 2: a billionaire, you probably should find something entertain yourself. Besides

433
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: count cash. It's got something else exactly swimming in your money. Yeah,

434
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's important to have something in your life,

435
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: whether it just be Yeah, but but I did so,

436
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 2: I wanted to do it, but I wasn't really honestly,

437
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: like a class clown, I wasn't really until I got

438
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: to about thirteen. I would start saying things to my

439
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: friends like we're on the beach and we had a

440
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: bonfire in Jacksonville Beach and you know, summer and like

441
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: thirty of us and we have a bonfire and we're

442
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: being saved. These cops came out and they said, hey,

443
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: you know, you can't have a fire in the beach.

444
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: You got to put it out. And I said to

445
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: the cop, well, this is the safest place to have

446
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: a fire on the beach is water and sand. It

447
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 2: will then possibly go wrong. And he just looked at

448
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 2: me and he's like, you know, take it in the wood,

449
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: in the woods, and I think they were safe here.

450
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 2: And my friends were like that was funny. I'm like, yeah,

451
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 2: it was. It was like observational humor. It would just

452
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: pinpoint things that were like not right, why are we

453
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 2: doing this? You know, you know you this door has

454
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: to be remaining closed all times, and then why have

455
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: a door? So I write all these things down and

456
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: they were just stupid, but you and that became my

457
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 2: acts and I started, you know, telling the stories.

458
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 3: Who are your favorite comedians?

459
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: Growing up, we talked a lot about I mean, George Carlin.

460
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: People always sounds like the same people when people be

461
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: asking any comic. But it was my era, it would

462
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: definitely be George Carlin and H Richard pryor uh Gary Shandler.

463
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,440

00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: if you could come up with some original stuff, I

524
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: would love to think about it and come back. And

525
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 2: I didn't have a clue even to start writing a joke,

526
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: not at one, except I made a joke that I

527
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: looked like the Wendy's Hamburg girl or something, and that

528
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 2: was one joke, right. It was great though. I'd put

529
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 2: my hair in pigtails and pull up to Wendy's, Oh

530
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 2: my god, she's here, and walk. So I had I

531
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 2: had a neighborhood crime watch sign in our dorm that

532
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 2: we had stolen one night.

533
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: H I love that, and I just thought.

534
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: I thought, I'm looking at it, and I'm laying in bed,

535
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 2: I'm looking at I'm trying to think of jokes. And

536
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: I said, well, I'll start with that. I'll walk on

537
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: stage with the sign and I'll say sorry I I

538
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: was later in the neighborhood and that gets a laugh.

539
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: And then I said, how good is our crime watch

540
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 2: if and not watching their signs? And it killed right.

541
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: So I went down and told me that, and my

542
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: Wendy's won and she's like, all right, can you do

543
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 2: like like five more minutes of that kind of stuff?

544
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: And I said sure. I also go still more signs.

545
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 2: I literally did. I went around town. I found all

546
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 2: these signs that I thought were funny. I see, Oh

547
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 2: to God, one said slow children at play And they

548
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: still have these signs. There's no feet. They don't have

549
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: any feet. So I said, well one of the slows

550
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: they're any feet and it would just kill the crowd.

551
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 2: So I had all these sign jokes, you know, no

552
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: train horn between certain hours, says this is the hours

553
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 2: we need the horn. You can the daytime you can see,

554
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 2: nighttime you can't. And it was just very clever and funny.

555
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: And then they were like, you know you haven't eyn,

556
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,239
Speaker 2: I said, I think I've exhausted all the signs. I mean,

557
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 2: there was there's another sign in Boca Ratone where my

558
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 2: college was. It was called Butt's Road and we stole

559
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 2: that one, and I said this, I was driving down

560
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: Butts Roe where all the assholes load, and it killed

561
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: you know, but it was Bocas. You know, you can't

562
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: do that on any other you know, Milwaukee. They're gonna

563
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: go what I mean, they'll still think it's funny because

564
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,239
Speaker 2: there's a road called bus Row all the assholes are.

565
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: And uh so then I had all these signs and

566
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: all that, and then and then I was just trying

567
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 2: to think of another up like and that was that

568
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 2: didn't make any of those This weren't my props. There

569
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 2: were just visual signs and so I thought, I went

570
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: to see my grandmother and we were driving and her

571
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: head didn't go above the seat, right, It's just an

572
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: old thing. I said, can you see when you drive

573
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: for him? When she's like yeah? And I thought, there's one.

574
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: So I got like a ball cap and I put

575
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,239
Speaker 2: a spring on it and an old lady's head so

576
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 2: when you were their head would go above the seats

577
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: like this, and I would hold like a hula hoop

578
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: like the steering wheel, and you'd see it would kill.

579
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 2: And so about was I'm under you know, I'm under

580
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 2: my shtick I got. I got. I got the first one,

581
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: the lady driving her head above the sea. And then

582
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 2: I just started my brain just started thinking that, like,

583
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 2: how about a cowboy with the kickstands and when you're

584

Speaker 2: You know what's funny about us something? But it had

589
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: to be something attached to it. It couldn't just be

590
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: a pun. You know, it's holding a plant up. You know,

00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: I was proud of myself. I mean, the other ones,

617
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 2: all right, they're funny that you know, name tag for

618
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: seven to eleven, employ long name, they're all funny. But

619
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: that first one that I when I made that cup joke,

620
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: I just sat there myself and I thought, holy, even like,

621
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: because I always wanted your peers to let you know,

622
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 2: I would say, even Seinfeld, even even you know, Carlanwood

623
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: would find this clever and funny. Right yeah. And I

624
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: was at an airport. This was the strangest thing ever. People.

625
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: I'm walking through Philadelphia Airport and I'm I'm I'm just walking.

626
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 2: I see this guy looks like George Carland. He's got

627
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: like his little notebook and his glasses and his hat.

628
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: I'm like by like twice, I said, oh God, that's

629
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: George Carland. And I'm not that guy. I'm not going

630
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: to walk up to him. And I walked by him

631
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: three times and finally said, what's the what, what's the worst.

632
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: He's arny, mean guy, So I just be prepared from

633
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: tell him to go off right so I just said,

634
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: excuse me, don't bother. I'm a comic and I just

635
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: would admire and he says, guard job, and I you know,

636
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:14,360

00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: It was just already funny, right, And I said, I said,

641
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: all right, you just made my my whole world. He says,

642
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: now that you didn't listen that cup joke? Can you

643
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,040

00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 2: like thank you, and he's like, how did And it

646
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 2: was so great because he's like, how did you how

647
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: did you come up with that? She said, well, how

648
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: did you come up with the stuff? Bit right? And

649
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 2: he goes all right, guche But it's like I just,

650
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 2: you know, I just thought of it, and he probably wouldn't.

651
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have thought of anything he's done. You know,

652
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: thea between baseball and football. I'm on the grid ard,

653
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: what down are we?

654
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 3: Who?

655
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: Baseball? Who's up? You know? I know he came up

656
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: with that. I didn't come up with them. So we

657
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: had a mutual respect for each other's kind of thought process.

658
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: And then he started asking me like, how do you

659
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: how do you right, do you come up with the

660
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 2: joke or proper? First? Do you see something? So it

661
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: was great and then became a good friend after that week.

662
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: You know, so that was surreal becoming tapes at the

663
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: house when I was like eight years old, and then

664
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: you're you're chatting with him, so.

665
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 3: Well, were you? I mean, were you the first?

666
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 4: You're like, you started kind of your own sub section

667
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 4: of comedy by being a prop comic.

668
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: Right, Well, there's been prop comics prior to me. It

669
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: was just the style that I did was different. I mean,

670
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of people that did puns and

671
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: visual props h but as a just a stand up

672
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 2: comic with is a different style. It's in fact, South Park,

673
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: they ripped on me. Everybody rips on me. You know

Speaker 2: you made it? Yeah, well, I mean they kind of.

675
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: I mean, but this is a kind of an example

676
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 2: of how. So they called me, they said, we're doing

Speaker 2: this thing. You you know, you want to be the

678
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: voice for it. So I'm thinking, well, of course I

Speaker 2: they call and they said you want to be the

686
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: voice for it? So I said, I said absolutely please,

687
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: and they sent the script and it was like, oh man,

688

Speaker 2: and I'm like, no, it's not it's not funny. I

703
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,720

707
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: they were like, well, we could, but I think that's

708
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: the whole joke. I said, oh, I get it because

709
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: you're making fun of the fact that but I come

711
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: We've already animated it. I said, no, that means you

00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: want me to look like a fool in it, right,

713
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 2: And then I thought, okay, what am I going to

714
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 2: say no to South Park? So I agree to do it.

715
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 2: Even in the when I'm reading it, I'm like, it's

716
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 2: a sea saw. Get it. I'm like, uh, I'm going

717
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: to go hang myself, right, And they were so happy

718
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: that I did it, and then like every day someone

719
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: walk up me, oh Sea sauce, I'm like, maybe they

720
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: were right right, you know, it's like one of those

721
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: things like you just wanted to show what you do

722
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: is a different, a little different than an easy joke

723
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 2: like that cup one was not a pun. It was

724
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 2: an invention. So it's kind of like hard to anyone

725
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: that doesn't care top thing will always do that upun Like, hey,

726
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 2: I'm three sheets to the wind and you're like, Okay,

727
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: that's not not what you do.

728
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

729
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: Interesting, But only certain people that know, like, Okay, now

730
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: I get it. You're right, that's not what you do.

731
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 2: But I mean, so the general person who see a

732
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: prop comment, oh, you just hold up a broom and look,

733
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: I'm you know, flying.

734
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,320

00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah. He had no, he just didn't know.

769
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 2: And then then he gave all that really respect back.

770
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 2: The next day he's like, and he makes all that stupid.

771
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: So I had done the show and I did really well.

772
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: I came off and I was putting all my stuff

773
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 2: away and this old guy came over and says, man,

774
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 2: it was unbelievable. I've never seen anything like that. I said, oh, thanks.

775
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 2: He says, uh, you must kill in Vegas. And I said,

776
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 2: I've never been to Vegas. He says, come on, you've

777
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 2: never been to Vegas. You are Vegas. And I said,

778
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: I've never been to Vegas. He said, if I book

779
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 2: you in Vegas, will you take the gig? And I

780
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: said no, No, I said, I said sure, and he

781
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 2: said they called. They called my people and they said,

782
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: we got you at Bally's Casino in the little comedy

783
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 2: club there for the weekend. And it was Kathleen Gifford's

784
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 2: manager who thought I should be playing. And they, of

785
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: course they were always big Vegas in Atlantic City and

786
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: all that. So they put me this little room for

787
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 2: Friday Saturday night. And again going back to what you're

788
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 2: saying or about Vegas, it was like it was just

789
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: it's a different crowd, right, and I'm really young and

790
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 2: I'm used to doing you know, little you know louder.

791
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 2: The South Club's screaming and they're wearing caratoms. It was

792
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: just a different kind of all and so they said,

793
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 2: we're going to move to the main room.

794
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

795
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 2: The week was there Friday Saturday. And then they said

796
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 2: we're gonna move to the main room Saturday Sunday. This

797
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 2: is great, and they put me in this big room.

798
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 2: Now I had more props than there were people in there,

799
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: and I was just terrified. This stage is bigger than life.

800
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 2: And so I had my little prop trunks and I said,

801
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 2: I gotta go to the I gotta go to the

802
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 2: Target Walmart and get like stage stuff, like I put

803
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 2: tapestries and tables and couches and chairs and lamps, just

804
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 2: to give it a set of something because it was

805
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: so I was so naked up there and this little

806
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 2: teeny thing. And so anyway I did, I did. It

807
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: was horrible. I hated. I hated to hate it so bad.

808
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: I went back on the road. I was like, oh god,

809
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 2: you know, I out of Vegas. Thank God, I mean,

810
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: thank you for giving me the opportunity, but it's not

811
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: my thing. And then the MGM grand had called and

812
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 2: said do you want to and I said no, I

813
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: ride away. I said no, I don't want Vegas is

814
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 2: not my thing. And we went there for a weekend

815
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: in that room and then it was like three years

816
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: later we had signed a thing and then you know,

817
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: a year, and then three, and then finally we were

818
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 2: doing We weren't doing full residencies like I'm doing here.

819
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 2: It was in and out. It was like two weeks

820
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: at a time, and then go to colleges and clubs

821
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 2: and theaters and come back to m gym. And then

822
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 2: finally I was starting to you know, I really liked

823
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,439
Speaker 2: the room. I'm like, yeah, they rede my things. I said, yeah,

824
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 2: instead of doing eight weeks, they wanted to do twelve

825
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 2: or fourteen weeks. I said, this is great. And then

826
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 2: David Coppfield came in and wanted the room, and I said, well,

827
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 2: he's going to make me disappear. Copperfield caratop and so

828
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: I I went. I said to my you know people,

829
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 2: I said, I wish I'm just starting to get the

830
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: hang of this Vegas thing. I wish it was a

831
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 2: room now. I said, it was one of the lux

832
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: or we can go look at it. So we went

833
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: over one night and looked at it and it was

834
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: just the perfect little room. And we did a year

835
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: there and then we did an hour We're twenty and

836
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 2: it was one of the things. Now I would never

837
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 2: change in the world. This is I don't think I

838
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: know how to do anything outside Vegas.

839
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: Man, that's incredble.

840
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 2: Road shows are still fun and exciting because it's a

841
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: different energy and different you know, people have waited to

842
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 2: see you and they you know, they have their We

845
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: they call the Orange Man Group. And so it's fun fanatics,

846
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 2: you know, like parrot heads and dead heads. We have

847
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 2: carrot heads, that's correct.

848
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: Talking about your hair, you and I have something in

893
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 2: anthing politics political wise, but just in general, like what

894
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 2: do you think about you know, so comic they did something.

895
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know. I didn't see it. Like

896
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle's thing was a lot of contrary. What do

897
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,640

Speaker 2: haven't seen it. I don't know what. I don't know

899
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 2: what it is. If I saw it, I could probably comment.

900
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: But what do you think about? I said, I haven't

901
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 2: seen it.

902
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 3: I've seen it, I don't know.

903
00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: I can't give you anything, and I haven't seen it,

906
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 2: it on his phone. I said, oh, all right, yeah,

907

908
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: it's his it's his decision to do it. So what

909
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 2: do I think about it? I think it's funny. I

910
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 2: think what I do it probably not I mean a

911
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 2: carrat Top doing it probab when I get away with it.

912
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 2: Dave Spelle probably could get away with it. And they're like, oh,

913
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 2: right on. It's like, but you got to give me

1080
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 2: it was a great music. Do you listen to soft jazz? Yeah, yeah,

00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 2: can't not hear anything. I bat my foot to it.

1085
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 2: It's good. I don't I don't really have it. But

1086
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 2: I mean, if I had to pick, you know, after

1087
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 2: the show up on country or rock and roll, probably,

1088
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 2: but then I like listen to you know, Neil Diamond

1089
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,520

1092
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 2: With the carpenters, I'm like, it's great music.

1093
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 3: It's great music. She's one of the greatest drummers ever.

Speaker 2: and then on Sunday, no one normally has a show,

1101
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:55,200

1105
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:09,239

Speaker 2: Stewart and he you know, he's he has this thing too.

1108
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 2: he's that's at least you hear sometimes there. And I

Speaker 2: have a guy in l A that drives him around.

1110
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 2: He's he doesn't he has nice stories to tell about

1111
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 2: him watching the show at Caesars, and it's like, is

00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 2: it little Caesars? And uh, and he sold it out.

00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 2: a little Caesars. See that's how they get you. They

00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 2: don't tell you the fine print, Caesars, little Caesar fine print.

1116
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 2: So so uh, he's up there doing it, you know,

00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 2: you know, lay everything. He's just doing all of his

1118
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 2: hits and he just he's start. Everyone's got cameras out, everybody,

1119
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,919
Speaker 2: the whole you know, it's our dead area. And he says,

1120
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 2: and people the security is trying to get them to

1121
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 2: stop filming, and there's you know, three thousand people. You

1122
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 2: can't stop. When he comes on the mic, he says hey,

1123
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: he says, hey, mate, you know, if they want to,

Speaker 2: come on, dance and sing with me. I'm watching and

1128
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, Wow, he didn't just say that, like he

1129
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 2: said that to be a joke. Jeff, were you with me?

1130
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,720
Speaker 2: Two thirds and two thirds a third of the crowd

1131
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 2: went on stage, amazing and he sang and danced with him.

1132
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 2: Geez has arms around him singing. This song was over.

1133
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 2: He goes, all right, now you you go go sit

1134
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 2: down there. They all came up and it was just

1135
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 2: in kind of a cool moment because it always like

1136
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 2: no and get back and secure. He was like, come

1137
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 2: on mate, and they just came. Yeah. It was pretty

1138
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 2: pretty amazing.

1139
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: Man, that's really cool.

1140
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 2: That was a cold, cool moment. You know, the big

1141
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 2: ones Elton John Shni twenties have all been Schneike Twain.

1142
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 2: We actually came. She came to my show. It was

1143
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 2: kind of funny because she's like, don't announce her. She

1144
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 2: doesn't want to be announced. And I said, okay, you know,

1145
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 2: I don't want to undo that to anybody. And I

1146
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 2: do the same way. I go out and give shots

1147
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 2: a booze into the audience and I go out and

1148
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: she's the first one standing there trying to get a shot.

1149
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 2: I said, how great is that? Right?

1150
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: Finally looking back, Yes, if you could go back in

1151
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: time and talk to young Carrot Top on his first

1152
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: night in Vegas. Let's say your first night at the

1153
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 1: lux Or twenty years ago, not your first night in Vegas,

1154
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: but your first night at the lux Or twenty years ago.

1155
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: What would you tell him, if you could give him

1156
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 1: a piece of advice, what would you tell him?

1157
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 2: Do it all different? Seriously, run away, I think about you,

1158
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 2: run away, think about it, think about this. Well, at

1159
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 2: that point I had already been kind of getting into

1160
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 2: I don't know, I committed to the lux Or pretty

1161
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 2: and I and I was really not. The president of

1162
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 2: the hotel had called me a little I was boarding

1163
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 2: a plane and he said, never met him. He said,

1164
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 2: scutie and I said yeah. I said hell. He says,

1165
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 2: you know, I'm offering. I want to offer you the

1166
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 2: headline gig at the lux Or. And I was like oh,

1167
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 2: I said oh wow. I said, well, I'm getting on

1168
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 2: a plane. I'll call you back when I land. He's like, no,

1169
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 2: you don't, you don't. You don't get on a plane.

1170
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:22,919
Speaker 2: I'm asking you want to be the headline of the Luxor.

1171
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 2: You don't. You pretty much answered that like right away,

1172
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 2: you don't like And I said, well, I got to

1173
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 2: think about it. And I remember, like the longest flight,

1174
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, oh, I might not have done the right

1175
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 2: thing by saying no. I didn't say no. I just

1176
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 2: said I don't know if I don't know yet. And

1177
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 2: then I landed and I said, you know, I'm really

1178
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 2: kind of apprehensive about being a full time I just,

1179
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 2: you know, I don't want to do it. And he

1180
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 2: was like, you got to do it. I mean, dude,

1181
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 2: you're the only guy that there's no other person at

1182
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 2: the lux or is you. And I said again, now

1183
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 2: I'm more stressed out, like I don't I don't want

1184
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 2: to be the face of the property. But then finally

1185
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 2: I caved in. I said, all right, we'll do We'll

1186
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 2: do you know, a year, and we did a year,

1187
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 2: and then then there was like do another year in

1188
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 2: this sit out, another year and three more, I'll do three.

1189
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 2: It was a five years, then five and now it's like, oh,

1190
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 2: I hope they give me to the five. So yeah,

1191
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 2: it was it was a hard decision to make them

1192
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 2: believe it or not because I was just used to

1193
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 2: being out on the road and doing a different thing

1194
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 2: than Vegas. So I was kind of scared to take it,

1195
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,399
Speaker 2: but also excited to take it. I think the first

1196
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 2: show ever, though, that's a different story. You know, that

1197
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 2: first time on stage kind of thing. That's the craziest

1198
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 2: one because everyone has probably done. You know when you

1199
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 2: say I'm actually gonna go up and be it, like

1200
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 2: try to be a comedian. Yeah, terrifying, like, oh my god,

1201
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 2: what am I doing. And there's a show called kill

1202
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 2: Tony that I just did in a big popular show.

1203
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 2: And the concept that show is they have these young

1204
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 2: comics come out and you sit there and you kind

1205
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 2: of you know, they would prefer you to more like

1206
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 2: rip them and kind of because it's and I said

1207
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 2: to the same thing. I said, you know, I got

1208
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 2: to turn the thing down. I don't. I don't. I'm

1209
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 2: not the mean guy. I'm not the critic. I'm not

1210
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 2: the guy out there going you know, you suck you

1211
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 2: because I'm Caratop. I'm the one that's been They're coming

1212
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 2: from me. So I said, you know, I'll do it,

1213
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna I'm gonna be nice, and they said, no,

1214
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 2: you don't have to be you don't have to be mean,

1215
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 2: just be you. So it was it was like the

1216
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 2: comics will come out there right and there they're literally

1217
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:28,320
