<v Speaker 2>don't know. I don't know because I've had people that

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>have asked me, like one of my favorite someone asking me,

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 2>how do you how do you do this? With Steven Tyler,

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>And we went to see Aerosmith okay, and afterwards he

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>was like, hey man, it's a brother, and he just said,

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 2>how many shows you? How many shows you do? I said,

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I said, like six a week, six a week Jesus,

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Well like not like every week. I said, well, not

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 2>every every week, but I have two hundred and forty shows.

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.719
<v Speaker 2>And he just looked at me and said, how do

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 2>you do that? Yeah? And I'm like, you're Stephen Tyler.

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Why are you asking me like I should be asking you.

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 2>You're Steven Tyler. I don't know. I don't have the

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 2>answer to that. So he was just amazed. He just

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't said the same thing. I can't get up with

0:06:58.480 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 2>this every night. I said, yeah, you can. You know,

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 2>you just get the energy or the music the people

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 2>coming in doesn't half the crowds disgruntled shows.

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.159
<v Speaker 4>Do they feel different now than when you started or

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 4>is it all kind of the same.

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 2>No, it's always different. Yeah, And also the elements that

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.440
<v Speaker 2>the show energy changes. Like you said, somebody the crowd

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.680
<v Speaker 2>can be a little somber whatever. Maybe I call them

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 2>listening crowds. They were listening crowd because they were they

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>really were there listening. And then you get the ones

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 2>that are too rowdy, that yell over the punchlines and

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 2>that kind of that kind of you don't want that either.

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 2>You don't want too rowdy and you don't want too sleepy.

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>So you want that nice in between good comedy crowds.

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, but you get them all. But you're changing

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 2>jokes like you're No, I haven't changed a joke in

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>thirty years. I'm still doing Nixon jokes. And I used

0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 2>to have a prop, by the way, which is which

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>a running prop even I could I say myself. It

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 2>was a It was a cell phone for my grandma

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 2>that had a roadary dial on it. It was years ago.

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I made it. It would kill and if I did

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 2>it now, people no idea what people like, what it's

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 2>a roadary. Oh yeah, you don't have, but he used

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 2>to kill you know, twenty five years ago. I made it.

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>So when right when cell phones came out, I said,

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 2>my grant, my grandma has one I made us that

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 2>you can use it. You know, it was brilliant. Now

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>it's like what wow, God, there's a lot of things

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 2>that you find that are that are that uh or

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>sometimes the props are relevant, they stay relevant with the joke.

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.559
<v Speaker 2>But there's another one an ice tray. So it was

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 2>an ice trade right away, we've lost.

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 3>Right, there's a listening.

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 2>It was an ice tray that I had a level

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 2>on it, so when you put it back in the freeze,

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't stole. Right, Well, it's always killed and still

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 2>would do if I do it as a classic. Here's

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.959
<v Speaker 2>a care classic. But but I always say the same thing.

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 2>How many people don't know what an ice tray? A? Literally?

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Most of the crowds like it's so funny though, because

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, they get it, yeah right, but they

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 2>don't know they've never held one?

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 4>Do you do you go back to older props like

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 4>will you find something that you haven't used the years?

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Really don't want to work that in again. No, no,

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 2>not unless it's an old prompt that can be relevant

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 2>to a new you know. I mean, like it was

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 2>a whatever of a phone case that used to keep

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 2>people from texting. And so then Trump comes out like,

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 2>oh it's for It's so great, it's it's a cell

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 2>phone case for Trump.

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 3>So we won't take it, you know, but.

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 2>But I do I find it. But you just, uh,

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to sit in us in his chair and

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 2>not do that, right yeah, right there, we can't well

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, I talk with Russian. But but yeah, so

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:34.679
<v Speaker 2>that's the time I use it if I but I

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 2>don't want to. I'd never used to go back to

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 2>an old joke unless we a couple of a couple

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 2>of years ago we came up with, Uh, we were

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 2>doing a lot of road shows, and I thought we'd

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 2>put together a classic Carra top trunk and it was

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of cool because I would do you know, now

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.440
<v Speaker 2>it's time for all the people who've been the shows

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>years ago. It's time for care classics. And they were

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 2>all the old you know, from the eighties and nineties,

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 2>and that was fun going through them and doing them.

0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 2>And like Listra says that no one was an ice train,

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I want to talk to you about your workshop

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 1>because you mentioned do you keep all of your sweat.

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Shop full of children that are but there's a bar there.

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 2>We keep them, We keep them entertained.

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.679
<v Speaker 1>You make all your props right, pretty.

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Much all of them. I have had a few that

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.560
<v Speaker 2>I've had to outsourced to to have because it would

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 2>be too much for me. You know, I would call

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:49.439
<v Speaker 2>it engineering or something a motor or lights. Because sometimes

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll come up with an elaborate idea and I'm like,

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:52.839
<v Speaker 2>no one's gonna I can't make this. I mean, it

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 2>would be great if I could. But then I I'll

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>get someone out and the and they usually will come

0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 2>back with something crazy.

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever had an idea for a prop that

0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>ended up being impossible to make?

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Probably? I mean I had one that I thought

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 2>was was pretty impossible, and I had I don't know

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 2>how the guy made it, and I sent him a drawing,

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, like on a napkin. Uh, because I never

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I don't own a computer. I don't write

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 2>any jokes on computers.

0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Don't own a computer.

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 2>It's all just notes everywhere, thousands of books and notes

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 2>and no it's just a lot of comics ext like

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:30.319
<v Speaker 2>John Rivers, and they all had index cards and get

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 2>people when you know, when she passed, they they found

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:36.719
<v Speaker 2>all these crates of right now amazing and some I'm

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 2>sure that people you read and go, what the but

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 2>she would know it, you know, Yeah, a lot of

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>minds like that. There's just there's like drawings and people.

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 2>But it was it was the senator and it's just

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 2>crazy stop topic. But this senator, I don't know, man,

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 2>it's been probably ten years ago. It was in a

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.840
<v Speaker 2>bathroom stall in the airport Minneapolis. Oh yeah, the guy

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 2>with the my legs are too wide, the shoot tap thing.

0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 2>So I'm it's just the most bizarre thing, right, But

0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking, oh, I need a prop for this, right,

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 2>So I said, how about a briefcase where a shoe

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 2>comes like a leg comes down like a you know,

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 2>like an actual dress leg and a dress shoe like

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.200
<v Speaker 2>a Gucci shoe, And I hit a button and it

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.319
<v Speaker 2>comes down, and I hit another button and it taps

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.200
<v Speaker 2>and then I come back up. You know, right, I'm thinking, Okay,

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm wish for thinking and it is great, Like no,

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 2>I what the best part about it is the guy says,

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I got it.

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I got a shot.

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 2>It was like, yeah, what kind of shoe? Because I

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.119
<v Speaker 2>shoe and we can do anything, and it was unbelievable.

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 2>We did it all all the shows and it was

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.680
<v Speaker 2>just I remember, I don't know if it's Jay Leno.

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 2>One of the shows, it was just like, how did you?

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, I don't know. I thought of it.

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Let me eave a loan. That alone is weird. But

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 2>the actually to actually really make it was an incredible one.

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.559
<v Speaker 2>It it went down with one button and another button.

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 2>It would tap the button to come up, and it

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 2>was just people like that was great. It was so

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:51.960
<v Speaker 2>topical and it was so.

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 4>Have you ever invented anything not for comedy? Like you

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 4>come up with something that.

0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Invent event and probably more than two dozen and three

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 2>dozen things that have that that have become items that

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 2>weren't comedy that really am tell us, well, they've never

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 2>been mine. So that's the sad part of the story

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 2>because I'm pretty, I'm pretty, I'm not that bright. I'm

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 2>sure your audience already knows that. So I I you know,

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 2>I never copywriter a trademarked anything. Where is when I

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.520
<v Speaker 2>was a young kid. Now that I'm eighty, I think

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I probably, but I would have there's a And I

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 2>tried pitching this to Shark Tank only because I had

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 2>met Mark you and I said, you know, I have

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 2>all these things that i've you know, you're so clever.

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:35.680
<v Speaker 2>And I said, well, I've got about it two dozen

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 2>that I made that people have stolen, right, So it's like,

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 2>give me, give me one, I said, I one is

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 2>And it's very elementary. It's people. A lot of people

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 2>like toilet paper over the roll and some people like

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>it under. It's literally strange, really split right under people

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 2>are how many people under? How many people over? People?

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>And they would all whatever I said. So that's why

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I made this. And it's a toilet paper dispenser, and

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 2>it's it's so elementary that you'd never realize that there's

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.079
<v Speaker 2>the role right you want it over, it's over if

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 2>you want it under a screw and it goes over right,

0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 2>and the crow would go and I would go right,

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 2>and I go, it's not even funny, but it's it's

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 2>And people were like, holy well, someone apparently saw me

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.199
<v Speaker 2>do it on like you know, Regis and Kathy Lear

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Tonight Show or whatever shows I did, and and even

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 2>called it the.

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 3>Toilet paper Flipper.

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>That's why I made the toy. But there's been one

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of them. There was a baseball bat that you'd

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 2>swing and it would make a crack noise, so it

0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 2>sounded like kids were getting it and has the crack bat.

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 2>So there's one hundreds of them. Yeah. I had a

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 2>toilet seat that would light up. Now that's right. How

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 2>many years we had that? Yeah, I had a you

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 2>know in the eighties, way before the ag probably well

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.240
<v Speaker 2>eighties before the eighties, hold on back when I did

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Jack Parr Show, I had that toilet. I'd have a

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 2>little button on it and it would light up and

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>so you wouldn't be on the rim and they'd pop.

0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Were like, yeah, it was my closing bed people, you

0:14:59.520 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 2>know not.

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.560
<v Speaker 3>And of course then somebody takes it. Man, that's incredible.

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 2>It was my My closing was a bunch of toilet seats.

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 2>One time it was about ten toilet seas, and comics

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 2>would make fun of me even to this day, like, yeah,

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 2>he's a total seat but because I did have a

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 2>doll tolet seat jokes, but they were but they were solid.

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they had one that would hold women's here

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 2>and they're throwing up. You know, had one was lit up.

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I had one with a seat belt, so we eat

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 2>a taco bell. Yeah, so it was like a toilet

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 2>seat jokes even works, right, I'm like I got another one,

0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 2>like no more toilets.

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Your father was a NASA engineer.

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 2>That crazy, Yeah, that's probably got some of the Maybe

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I think I might have gotten some of my father's

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 2>some of.

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 3>The toilet sea stuff.

0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, you know, like that part of his brain

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe where I create and uh and imagine and think

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 2>of this stuff. Him being an engineer, I think that

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I must have gotten that little part. I didn't get

0:15:58.480 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 2>anything else, but I got that.

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 3>When did he work I'm sorry, when did he work

0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 3>at NASA?

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Sixties?

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 3>So like during all the moon landings and everything there.

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Before that he did Gemini, Skylab, Apollo, all the Apollos,

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 2>and then he ended the shuttle. He was involved in

0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 2>the shuttle.

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 3>This is like my I'm a big space guy, so

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 3>hearing this.

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he was. It was incredible for me. And as

0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 2>a young kid, you don't you don't appreciate as much

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.320

<v Speaker 2>I don't want to go to a launch, you know,

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 2>I want to ride my bike. So we're going to

0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 2>go to the astronauts. I don't want to meet astronaut.

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 2>So you go. You know, did you get to meet

0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.880
<v Speaker 2>the astronauts? Yeah, in shorts and flip flops, you know

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.760
<v Speaker 2>where you go up and in the zu. Yeah, they

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 2>walked me in. I'm like, that's an astronaut's you know, yeah,

0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:43.480
<v Speaker 2>smoking a cigarette.

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.720
<v Speaker 3>See you know, well they're healthy.

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well there did, just trying to get the last

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 2>one in. You know, they can't make space. But yeah, no,

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was incredible looking back on it. Yeah,

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 2>my dad, you know, he invented a lot of the

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 2>things that were involved in the Shuttle. The one in

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 2>particular was not him himself, a team, but a team

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 2>of people, just like I have a team of the

0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Beta carrot team. Yeah, that team of people and uh,

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna write that time, but I'm gonna care with

0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 2>a like a rocket team get beta carrots. And so

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 2>when the shuttle was when they had to take the

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 2>shuttle on top of the seven forty seven, Yeah, my

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 2>dad's team was what was the ones that had to

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 2>come up with the clamp that would hold it onto

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 2>the shuttle and also release it from the show, so

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.719
<v Speaker 2>they wouldn't, you know, crash and didn't know if it

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.720
<v Speaker 2>was gonna release and fly right, So how my dad

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.679
<v Speaker 2>was so stressed out of course, I'd be like, what

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.160
<v Speaker 2>are you working on? Is I'm trying to figure out

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 2>this clamp? But I'm like that sounds like fun? Cool? Yeah,

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 2>cool da great, good luck? And then it would have

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.399
<v Speaker 2>happened the night we were all watching it and you know,

0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.919
<v Speaker 2>they didn't know, no one, NASA didn't know. They're all

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 2>in a room watching it, and I said, okay, really

0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.280
<v Speaker 2>release the shuttle, do you know? Boom and the clamp

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.439
<v Speaker 2>let go and the shuttle went off and it just

0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.920
<v Speaker 2>went away, and everybody's like that could have been the

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 2>other way around.

0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:12.840
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it was incredible.

0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>So you got your inventor brain. I think that little

0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.800
<v Speaker 1>chip maybe from your dad. Where did your stage presence

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:21.119
<v Speaker 1>and desire to be on stage?

0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:25.360
<v Speaker 2>From my mom? The stripper? Perfect commendations?

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:28.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm so sorry.

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, I got my I got my personality, I'm

0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 2>sure from my mother. My mother was and my dad

0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 2>wasn't not funny. My dad was really funny. But he

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 2>was funny, you know, just like a joke telling way,

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, old guy the joke, you know, and he

0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.879
<v Speaker 2>would tell him and that, you know, working in the

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.959
<v Speaker 2>cul de Sac, and I'd sit there listen, I'm telling him,

0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:50.360
<v Speaker 2>and then I would go tell them and I'd get

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 2>in trouble to school because I was telling these jokes that

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.160
<v Speaker 2>were inappropriate for school, but I didn't know they were funny.

0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 2>The driveway, everyone else was laughing. No, did you tell

0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 2>this joke in school today anymore? So?

0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Did you always want to be a comedian?

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Then? I mean, going all the way back to I mean,

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think what age it was. But I

0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.720
<v Speaker 2>would watch like the Tonight Show, and uh, that was

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 2>it really because it was only three channels, the Tonight Show,

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:15.439
<v Speaker 2>and I would I would sneak out and try to

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.600
<v Speaker 2>watch the Tonight Show. And then when my mom would

0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>let me watch it and i'd start, she'd say, you

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.679
<v Speaker 2>really like the I just love the comedian. With all

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.919
<v Speaker 2>the comedians that came on, it was just fascinating to me,

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 2>whether was it with George Carlin or Henny Youngman or

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Buddy Hackett or whoever was on Don Rickles, all of them.

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I just was so amazed. I was like, this is

0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.040
<v Speaker 2>so funny. But when you're in that age, you don't think.

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.359
<v Speaker 2>You just think I want I'm gonna do that, right,

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.160
<v Speaker 2>not in your age, like I'm going to be an astronaut. Great,

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 2>then you're like, oh you gotta be smart. Well all right,

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 2>you think you can just pick whatever profession you want,

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.320
<v Speaker 2>which nowadays, which kids would just just picked something and

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.119
<v Speaker 2>stick with it, right, Like, just just want to be something.

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.879
<v Speaker 2>I always tell young people, you know, you're a lot

0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 2>of you people like I don't know anything. We kind

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:02.159
<v Speaker 2>of I think you do. Unless you have, you know,

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.359
<v Speaker 2>inherit a billion dollars, you probably should find a job.

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Even then, even then, really even just for your mental

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:09.080
<v Speaker 1>and if you should.

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Even if you're you're you're a son or daughter of

0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.439
<v Speaker 2>a billionaire, you probably should find something entertain yourself. Besides

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.600
<v Speaker 2>count cash. It's got something else exactly swimming in your money. Yeah,

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, it's important to have something in your life,

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 2>whether it just be Yeah, but but I did so,

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to do it, but I wasn't really honestly,

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.200
<v Speaker 2>like a class clown, I wasn't really until I got

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 2>to about thirteen. I would start saying things to my

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 2>friends like we're on the beach and we had a

0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 2>bonfire in Jacksonville Beach and you know, summer and like

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:42.880
<v Speaker 2>thirty of us and we have a bonfire and we're

0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 2>being saved. These cops came out and they said, hey,

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:46.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can't have a fire in the beach.

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 2>You got to put it out. And I said to

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.520
<v Speaker 2>the cop, well, this is the safest place to have

0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 2>a fire on the beach is water and sand. It

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.640
<v Speaker 2>will then possibly go wrong. And he just looked at

0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:58.680
<v Speaker 2>me and he's like, you know, take it in the wood,

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 2>in the woods, and I think they were safe here.

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:03.880
<v Speaker 2>And my friends were like that was funny. I'm like, yeah,

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:07.359
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was like observational humor. It would just

0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.439
<v Speaker 2>pinpoint things that were like not right, why are we

0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:12.959
<v Speaker 2>doing this? You know, you know you this door has

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:14.600
<v Speaker 2>to be remaining closed all times, and then why have

0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 2>a door? So I write all these things down and

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 2>they were just stupid, but you and that became my

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 2>acts and I started, you know, telling the stories.

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:24.720
<v Speaker 3>Who are your favorite comedians?

0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Growing up, we talked a lot about I mean, George Carlin.

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 2>People always sounds like the same people when people be

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 2>asking any comic. But it was my era, it would

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 2>definitely be George Carlin and H Richard pryor uh Gary Shandler.

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:40.440
<v Speaker 2>There's so many it's kind of hard to pick this.

0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:42.520
<v Speaker 2>What's hard to probably if he has a band too,

0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:45.159
<v Speaker 2>who's your favorite band? I don't know. We got some

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.240
<v Speaker 2>of our timing from so and so the Stones and

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:53.159
<v Speaker 2>who the Eagles. But I did study Carlin's tapes. I

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 2>mean I would watch his timing and his and we

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:57.159
<v Speaker 2>did that you know, a little punch on Hey, you

0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.159
<v Speaker 2>know what, You're an idiot, you know. Uh? And I

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:01.439
<v Speaker 2>I still do that in my show. I do that.

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 2>I do that pop thing. And then I say, I

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:06.359
<v Speaker 2>took that from Carlyn, you know, yeah, but uh yeah.

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:08.800
<v Speaker 2>And I just kept studying that. And then I went

0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:11.800
<v Speaker 2>to college and they had an open mic uh whatever

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:13.879
<v Speaker 2>you call it, open mic open mic night, and my

0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 2>friend said something like, yeah, you should do that, and

0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 2>I said, oh, I'm go to it. I said, no,

0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:18.480
<v Speaker 2>being it And I'm like, what am I gonna what?

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:19.199
<v Speaker 2>Am I gonna know?

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 4>What?

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 2>I play a banjo or something? I said, no, no,

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:23.680
<v Speaker 2>go up and tell jokes. I'm like, I don't have

0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:27.080
<v Speaker 2>a joke. You always have jokes, And so they talked

0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:28.400
<v Speaker 2>me into it and I went up and I said,

0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:30.879
<v Speaker 2>I can I be part of this thing? And I

0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:32.399
<v Speaker 2>was gonna go up and tell some jokes. And I

0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:34.760
<v Speaker 2>just went up and told joke jokes, you know, yeah,

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 2>and Joe, you know old joke. You know. It's something

0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:42.040
<v Speaker 2>like a you know, guy guy and his wife are

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:44.720
<v Speaker 2>sitting at the dinner table and her husband says to

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 2>the wife, listen, you got to start working the street

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.640
<v Speaker 2>and making some money. We're not doing well. And she's like, oh,

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:52.240
<v Speaker 2>for God's sake. So she goes out that night, comes back,

<v Speaker 2>who the hell gave you five dollars? She goes everyone.

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:05.719
<v Speaker 2>So it was like those kind of jokes and so

0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 2>and that's the one I get in trouble to school,

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 2>like did you tell the fire?

0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:10.080

<v Speaker 2>They loved it. The kids loved it. It was launch

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 2>year olds killed in the cafeteria.

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:19.680
<v Speaker 3>So then how do you get from there to.

0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Interesting? It's interesting right because I because well, I'll tell

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:27.720
<v Speaker 2>you well, one real quick way route to that is

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:29.480
<v Speaker 2>I was doing at the college. I was doing these

0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:31.760

<v Speaker 2>know Joan, Joanes Rivers jokes, George Carlin jokes, those old jokes.

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:38.440

0:23:57.119 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 2>at least you know that you can't do that. These

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 2>people that are doing the countries are doing you know,

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 2>they're material. And I was like, oh, I have a

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:09.280
<v Speaker 2>reasonal material. I said, I have, I can She said

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:11.879
<v Speaker 2>go if you She liked me. She's like, you were like,

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 2>if you could come up with some original stuff, I

0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:15.520
<v Speaker 2>would love to think about it and come back. And

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have a clue even to start writing a joke,

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:20.359
<v Speaker 2>not at one, except I made a joke that I

0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 2>looked like the Wendy's Hamburg girl or something, and that

0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:26.360
<v Speaker 2>was one joke, right. It was great though. I'd put

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 2>my hair in pigtails and pull up to Wendy's, Oh

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:32.639
<v Speaker 2>my god, she's here, and walk. So I had I

0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:35.159
<v Speaker 2>had a neighborhood crime watch sign in our dorm that

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:36.600
<v Speaker 2>we had stolen one night.

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 3>H I love that, and I just thought.

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I thought, I'm looking at it, and I'm laying in bed,

0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:43.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at I'm trying to think of jokes. And

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:44.879
<v Speaker 2>I said, well, I'll start with that. I'll walk on

0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 2>stage with the sign and I'll say sorry I I

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 2>was later in the neighborhood and that gets a laugh.

0:24:50.800 --> 0:24:52.320
<v Speaker 2>And then I said, how good is our crime watch

0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 2>if and not watching their signs? And it killed right.

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:56.960
<v Speaker 2>So I went down and told me that, and my

0:24:57.000 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Wendy's won and she's like, all right, can you do

0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:02.719
<v Speaker 2>like like five more minutes of that kind of stuff?

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:05.000
<v Speaker 2>And I said sure. I also go still more signs.

0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:08.919
<v Speaker 2>I literally did. I went around town. I found all

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:10.399
<v Speaker 2>these signs that I thought were funny. I see, Oh

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.119
<v Speaker 2>to God, one said slow children at play And they

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:15.359
<v Speaker 2>still have these signs. There's no feet. They don't have

0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:17.000
<v Speaker 2>any feet. So I said, well one of the slows

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:19.639
<v Speaker 2>they're any feet and it would just kill the crowd.

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:22.439
<v Speaker 2>So I had all these sign jokes, you know, no

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 2>train horn between certain hours, says this is the hours

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:26.640
<v Speaker 2>we need the horn. You can the daytime you can see,

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:29.639
<v Speaker 2>nighttime you can't. And it was just very clever and funny.

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:33.280
<v Speaker 2>And then they were like, you know you haven't eyn,

0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:35.239
<v Speaker 2>I said, I think I've exhausted all the signs. I mean,

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 2>there was there's another sign in Boca Ratone where my

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:40.880
<v Speaker 2>college was. It was called Butt's Road and we stole

0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:43.159
<v Speaker 2>that one, and I said this, I was driving down

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Butts Roe where all the assholes load, and it killed

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:47.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, but it was Bocas. You know, you can't

0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:49.960
<v Speaker 2>do that on any other you know, Milwaukee. They're gonna

0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:51.920
<v Speaker 2>go what I mean, they'll still think it's funny because

0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:54.239
<v Speaker 2>there's a road called bus Row all the assholes are.

0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:59.040
<v Speaker 2>And uh so then I had all these signs and

0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:01.160
<v Speaker 2>all that, and then and then I was just trying

0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:04.480
<v Speaker 2>to think of another up like and that was that

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:06.919
<v Speaker 2>didn't make any of those This weren't my props. There

0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 2>were just visual signs and so I thought, I went

0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:14.040
<v Speaker 2>to see my grandmother and we were driving and her

0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 2>head didn't go above the seat, right, It's just an

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:18.720
<v Speaker 2>old thing. I said, can you see when you drive

0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:21.480
<v Speaker 2>for him? When she's like yeah? And I thought, there's one.

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 2>So I got like a ball cap and I put

0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:26.239
<v Speaker 2>a spring on it and an old lady's head so

0:26:26.240 --> 0:26:28.439
<v Speaker 2>when you were their head would go above the seats

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.520
<v Speaker 2>like this, and I would hold like a hula hoop

0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:33.520
<v Speaker 2>like the steering wheel, and you'd see it would kill.

0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 2>And so about was I'm under you know, I'm under

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:39.400
<v Speaker 2>my shtick I got. I got. I got the first one,

0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 2>the lady driving her head above the sea. And then

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I just started my brain just started thinking that, like,

0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:48.399
<v Speaker 2>how about a cowboy with the kickstands and when you're

0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:50.639
<v Speaker 2>drunk you'll fall down. How about a how about a

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:52.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, a coffee cup with a you just all

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:56.640
<v Speaker 2>started to just like because I kind of had my head,

0:26:56.680 --> 0:26:59.879
<v Speaker 2>what a formula? You know what's funny about a water bot?

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:02.600
<v Speaker 2>You know what's funny about us something? But it had

0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 2>to be something attached to it. It couldn't just be

0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.240
<v Speaker 2>a pun. You know, it's holding a plant up. You know,

0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:09.600
<v Speaker 2>that's you know, I'm the plant here in that it

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 2>have to be something with the plant, something, you know,

0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:15.879
<v Speaker 2>bong with mirrors. You know.

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 3>That was one of my favorites, was the bomb with

0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:18.840
<v Speaker 3>the whole bunch of bong.

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:20.359
<v Speaker 2>Wounds, because I played a lot of colleges and so

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:22.120
<v Speaker 2>people were like, you know, a more bong.

0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Joke, bomb joke skill, Well, you are the first comedian

0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I remember seeing as a child, and it stuck with

0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:34.119
<v Speaker 1>me forever that it was my favorite joke, and I

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:37.120
<v Speaker 1>still have told it a million times. The cup joke

0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:40.880
<v Speaker 1>with the call waiting and the party line. I remember

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 1>watching it and being like, this is genius. It's the

0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:48.240
<v Speaker 1>greatest joke, and I've continued to tell it whenever somebody's like, comedians,

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Top's joke.

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:54.520
<v Speaker 2>With the That was my that's and that's funny. Someone

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:57.200
<v Speaker 2>had asked me, well, one day, I remember, now, if

0:27:57.200 --> 0:27:58.680
<v Speaker 2>there was one prop that I could pick and put

0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:01.280
<v Speaker 2>it in the Smithsonian or whatever, you know what, Yeah,

0:28:01.480 --> 0:28:03.360
<v Speaker 2>this is not gonna get that. You're not gonna get

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 2>this is unless Trump makes that happen. I want to

0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:10.040
<v Speaker 2>be in the scene. I'll make it, will be and

0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 2>we'll take it. We'll get it done, We'll get the cups.

0:28:12.320 --> 0:28:16.199
<v Speaker 2>But that was that was the very first prop that

0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:18.480
<v Speaker 2>I was proud of myself. I mean, the other ones,

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:20.920

0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:23.840
<v Speaker 2>seven to eleven, employ long name, they're all funny. But

0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:26.040
<v Speaker 2>that first one that I when I made that cup joke,

0:28:26.440 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I just sat there myself and I thought, holy, even like,

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:31.040
<v Speaker 2>because I always wanted your peers to let you know,

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I would say, even Seinfeld, even even you know, Carlanwood

0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:38.240
<v Speaker 2>would find this clever and funny. Right yeah. And I

0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 2>was at an airport. This was the strangest thing ever. People.

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm walking through Philadelphia Airport and I'm I'm I'm just walking.

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 2>I see this guy looks like George Carland. He's got

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 2>like his little notebook and his glasses and his hat.

0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm like by like twice, I said, oh God, that's

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:56.680
<v Speaker 2>George Carland. And I'm not that guy. I'm not going

0:28:56.720 --> 0:28:58.880
<v Speaker 2>to walk up to him. And I walked by him

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:02.200
<v Speaker 2>three times and finally said, what's the what, what's the worst.

0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 2>He's arny, mean guy, So I just be prepared from

0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:07.320
<v Speaker 2>tell him to go off right so I just said,

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:09.400
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, don't bother. I'm a comic and I just

0:29:09.440 --> 0:29:13.600
<v Speaker 2>would admire and he says, guard job, and I you know,

0:29:13.720 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 2>he's very young.

0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I just was.

0:29:15.080 --> 0:29:18.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like, you know me and he's like, he's

0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:21.040
<v Speaker 2>you know me? How do I not not? You? Like?

0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:23.400
<v Speaker 2>It was just already funny, right, And I said, I said,

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 2>all right, you just made my my whole world. He says,

0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:30.120
<v Speaker 2>now that you didn't listen that cup joke? Can you

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:33.040
<v Speaker 2>do swear to god? Wow? I said the cup joke

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 2>and he goes, yeah, that's genius, dude. I said, oh wow,

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:39.040
<v Speaker 2>like thank you, and he's like, how did And it

0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:40.800
<v Speaker 2>was so great because he's like, how did you how

0:29:40.840 --> 0:29:43.080
<v Speaker 2>did you come up with that? She said, well, how

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:44.880
<v Speaker 2>did you come up with the stuff? Bit right? And

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 2>he goes all right, guche But it's like I just,

0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:50.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, I just thought of it, and he probably wouldn't.

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't have thought of anything he's done. You know,

0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:56.360
<v Speaker 2>thea between baseball and football. I'm on the grid ard,

0:29:56.520 --> 0:29:57.280
<v Speaker 2>what down are we?

0:29:57.360 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Who?

0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Baseball? Who's up? You know? I know he came up

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:02.880
<v Speaker 2>with that. I didn't come up with them. So we

0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:06.360
<v Speaker 2>had a mutual respect for each other's kind of thought process.

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 2>And then he started asking me like, how do you

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:09.480
<v Speaker 2>how do you right, do you come up with the

0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:11.440
<v Speaker 2>joke or proper? First? Do you see something? So it

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 2>was great and then became a good friend after that week.

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, so that was surreal becoming tapes at the

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 2>house when I was like eight years old, and then

0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 2>you're you're chatting with him, so.

0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, were you? I mean, were you the first?

0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 4>You're like, you started kind of your own sub section

0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:26.760
<v Speaker 4>of comedy by being a prop comic.

0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Right, Well, there's been prop comics prior to me. It

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:30.600
<v Speaker 2>was just the style that I did was different. I mean,

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:32.640
<v Speaker 2>there's been a lot of people that did puns and

0:30:32.720 --> 0:30:36.200
<v Speaker 2>visual props h but as a just a stand up

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 2>comic with is a different style. It's in fact, South Park,

0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 2>they ripped on me. Everybody rips on me. You know

0:30:46.040 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 2>you made it? Yeah, well, I mean they kind of.

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, but this is a kind of an example

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:54.600
<v Speaker 2>of how. So they called me, they said, we're doing

0:30:54.600 --> 0:30:55.920
<v Speaker 2>this thing. You you know, you want to be the

0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:57.720
<v Speaker 2>voice for it. So I'm thinking, well, of course I

0:30:57.760 --> 0:30:59.000
<v Speaker 2>want to be the voice for it, right, you know,

0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:01.960
<v Speaker 2>they have I have a Gilbert godfre you do my voice?

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I like, you got that thing? So I said, uh,

0:31:07.400 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 2>all my impressures are the same. By the way, I

0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 2>can't do it. I can't do so I I, uh,

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:16.480
<v Speaker 2>where are we talking about? Against South Park? I said,

0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 2>they call and they said you want to be the

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 2>voice for it? So I said, I said absolutely please,

0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:22.600
<v Speaker 2>and they sent the script and it was like, oh man,

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 2>like it was just it was, well, one, they're ripping

0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:27.160
<v Speaker 2>on me. That's fine. I get They're ripping on me.

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 2>That's part of being you know, economic. I get that.

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I live in this magic castle and I'm

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 2>as mirrors and this eight of me and down in

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:36.680
<v Speaker 2>the hallway and the eight caratal whatever. But he came

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:40.920
<v Speaker 2>across this prop and this thing, and I was like, God,

0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 2>this is can we change like I go on the phone,

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:46.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean literally, and I said, can we change the

0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:49.280
<v Speaker 2>the just I don't mind the just the one prop?

0:31:49.960 --> 0:31:51.200
<v Speaker 2>He said, what do you mean the prop? I said

0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:54.840
<v Speaker 2>that the saw with glasses on it. And he's like, oh,

0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:57.080
<v Speaker 2>that's no, it's hilarious. I said, no, it's it's not.

0:31:58.080 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm talking to like thirty people that are brilliant

0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, no, it's not it's not funny. I

0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 2>mean to me, it's not funny because it's it's a

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:07.440
<v Speaker 2>sea saw. I said, I don't like puns. Oh look

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:09.719
<v Speaker 2>look at sea saw. So I'm like, can we do

0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:13.920
<v Speaker 2>like my cup joke or do you know anything? And

0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:17.400
<v Speaker 2>they were like, well, we could, but I think that's

0:32:17.440 --> 0:32:19.200
<v Speaker 2>the whole joke. I said, oh, I get it because

0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 2>you're making fun of the fact that but I come

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:23.280
<v Speaker 2>up with this stupid and he's like, no, no, no,

0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 2>We've already animated it. I said, no, that means you

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:28.280
<v Speaker 2>want me to look like a fool in it, right,

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 2>And then I thought, okay, what am I going to

0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:34.000
<v Speaker 2>say no to South Park? So I agree to do it.

0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Even in the when I'm reading it, I'm like, it's

0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:37.960
<v Speaker 2>a sea saw. Get it. I'm like, uh, I'm going

0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:41.360
<v Speaker 2>to go hang myself, right, And they were so happy

0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:43.440
<v Speaker 2>that I did it, and then like every day someone

0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 2>walk up me, oh Sea sauce, I'm like, maybe they

0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 2>were right right, you know, it's like one of those

0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:49.840
<v Speaker 2>things like you just wanted to show what you do

0:32:49.960 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 2>is a different, a little different than an easy joke

0:32:53.760 --> 0:32:55.560
<v Speaker 2>like that cup one was not a pun. It was

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:58.560
<v Speaker 2>an invention. So it's kind of like hard to anyone

0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:01.520
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't care top thing will always do that upun Like, hey,

0:33:01.520 --> 0:33:03.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm three sheets to the wind and you're like, Okay,

0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:04.680
<v Speaker 2>that's not not what you do.

0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Interesting, But only certain people that know, like, Okay, now

0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I get it. You're right, that's not what you do.

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:13.000
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, so the general person who see a

0:33:13.000 --> 0:33:14.920
<v Speaker 2>prop comment, oh, you just hold up a broom and look,

0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:15.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm you know, flying.

0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but the real last laugh is a forty

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:26.600
<v Speaker 1>year career for you are still selling out shows all

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:28.840
<v Speaker 1>over the place, two hundred and forty shows a year.

<v Speaker 1>This year marks your twentieth anniversary of your Luxor residency,

0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:36.400
<v Speaker 1>and you made the decision to commit to Vegas long

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:40.040
<v Speaker 1>before it was the popular thing to do. Absolutely what

0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:42.520
<v Speaker 1>made you decide to make the move, Well, it.

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Was it was a long, really short and long process.

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I had, I had done, always been on the road

0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:50.960
<v Speaker 2>and I was I did Regis and again is dating

0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:54.160

<v Speaker 4>We all did too, by the way, Yeah, he was

0:33:59.000 --> 0:33:59.280
<v Speaker 4>the best.

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 2>And he never understood that I'm not I told this

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:04.880
<v Speaker 2>the other day. I would do the show and he

0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:07.000

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean he would he would just of course laugh

0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:10.560
<v Speaker 2>and be a fan. But we went to a commercial

0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 2>break when Tommy where we came back and I did

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:15.200

<v Speaker 2>What do you find it? And I said, well, I

0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:28.239
<v Speaker 2>make it? And he was just dead serious. He was like,

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.319
<v Speaker 2>you make it? And I said, you know, don't find

0:34:31.360 --> 0:34:33.359

0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:36.560
<v Speaker 2>to make like right. He says, oh, so you find

0:34:36.680 --> 0:34:38.680
<v Speaker 2>you make the thing? I said, yeah, I find a

0:34:38.719 --> 0:34:41.279
<v Speaker 2>cowboy boot and then I add a joke to it.

0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I put the.

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Kicks in rights.

0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:46.920
<v Speaker 2>You know. Yeah. He had no, he just didn't know.

0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:49.960
<v Speaker 2>And then then he gave all that really respect back.

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 2>The next day he's like, and he makes all that stupid.

0:34:53.520 --> 0:34:57.120
<v Speaker 2>So I had done the show and I did really well.

0:34:57.560 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I came off and I was putting all my stuff

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:02.520
<v Speaker 2>away and this old guy came over and says, man,

0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:06.320
<v Speaker 2>it was unbelievable. I've never seen anything like that. I said, oh, thanks.

0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:09.839
<v Speaker 2>He says, uh, you must kill in Vegas. And I said,

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:13.080
<v Speaker 2>I've never been to Vegas. He says, come on, you've

0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:14.799
<v Speaker 2>never been to Vegas. You are Vegas. And I said,

0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I've never been to Vegas. He said, if I book

0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:19.319
<v Speaker 2>you in Vegas, will you take the gig? And I

0:35:19.360 --> 0:35:22.960
<v Speaker 2>said no, No, I said, I said sure, and he

0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 2>said they called. They called my people and they said,

0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:29.520
<v Speaker 2>we got you at Bally's Casino in the little comedy

0:35:29.520 --> 0:35:33.400
<v Speaker 2>club there for the weekend. And it was Kathleen Gifford's

0:35:33.440 --> 0:35:36.880
<v Speaker 2>manager who thought I should be playing. And they, of

0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:39.400
<v Speaker 2>course they were always big Vegas in Atlantic City and

0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:41.520
<v Speaker 2>all that. So they put me this little room for

0:35:41.760 --> 0:35:44.719
<v Speaker 2>Friday Saturday night. And again going back to what you're

0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:46.759
<v Speaker 2>saying or about Vegas, it was like it was just

0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:50.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a different crowd, right, and I'm really young and

0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:54.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm used to doing you know, little you know louder.

0:35:54.960 --> 0:35:58.799
<v Speaker 2>The South Club's screaming and they're wearing caratoms. It was

0:35:58.840 --> 0:36:00.680
<v Speaker 2>just a different kind of all and so they said,

0:36:00.920 --> 0:36:02.359
<v Speaker 2>we're going to move to the main room.

0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:06.000
<v Speaker 2>The week was there Friday Saturday. And then they said

0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:07.920
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna move to the main room Saturday Sunday. This

0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:09.879
<v Speaker 2>is great, and they put me in this big room.

0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:12.399
<v Speaker 2>Now I had more props than there were people in there,

0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:16.640
<v Speaker 2>and I was just terrified. This stage is bigger than life.

0:36:16.680 --> 0:36:19.200
<v Speaker 2>And so I had my little prop trunks and I said,

0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:20.839
<v Speaker 2>I gotta go to the I gotta go to the

0:36:21.080 --> 0:36:24.839
<v Speaker 2>Target Walmart and get like stage stuff, like I put

0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:27.719
<v Speaker 2>tapestries and tables and couches and chairs and lamps, just

0:36:27.760 --> 0:36:29.759
<v Speaker 2>to give it a set of something because it was

0:36:29.800 --> 0:36:31.680
<v Speaker 2>so I was so naked up there and this little

0:36:31.680 --> 0:36:34.000
<v Speaker 2>teeny thing. And so anyway I did, I did. It

0:36:34.360 --> 0:36:37.000
<v Speaker 2>was horrible. I hated. I hated to hate it so bad.

0:36:37.760 --> 0:36:39.279
<v Speaker 2>I went back on the road. I was like, oh god,

0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:40.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, I out of Vegas. Thank God, I mean,

0:36:40.880 --> 0:36:42.520
<v Speaker 2>thank you for giving me the opportunity, but it's not

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:46.279
<v Speaker 2>my thing. And then the MGM grand had called and

0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:47.799
<v Speaker 2>said do you want to and I said no, I

0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:49.600
<v Speaker 2>ride away. I said no, I don't want Vegas is

0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:52.240
<v Speaker 2>not my thing. And we went there for a weekend

0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:56.640
<v Speaker 2>in that room and then it was like three years

0:36:56.719 --> 0:36:59.480
<v Speaker 2>later we had signed a thing and then you know,

0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:01.560
<v Speaker 2>a year, and then three, and then finally we were

0:37:01.600 --> 0:37:04.399
<v Speaker 2>doing We weren't doing full residencies like I'm doing here.

0:37:04.800 --> 0:37:06.279
<v Speaker 2>It was in and out. It was like two weeks

0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:09.480
<v Speaker 2>at a time, and then go to colleges and clubs

0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:12.799
<v Speaker 2>and theaters and come back to m gym. And then

0:37:12.880 --> 0:37:14.799
<v Speaker 2>finally I was starting to you know, I really liked

0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.439
<v Speaker 2>the room. I'm like, yeah, they rede my things. I said, yeah,

0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:19.800
<v Speaker 2>instead of doing eight weeks, they wanted to do twelve

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:23.319
<v Speaker 2>or fourteen weeks. I said, this is great. And then

0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:26.439
<v Speaker 2>David Coppfield came in and wanted the room, and I said, well,

0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:31.080
<v Speaker 2>he's going to make me disappear. Copperfield caratop and so

0:37:31.840 --> 0:37:35.799
<v Speaker 2>I I went. I said to my you know people,

0:37:35.840 --> 0:37:38.200
<v Speaker 2>I said, I wish I'm just starting to get the

0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:41.120
<v Speaker 2>hang of this Vegas thing. I wish it was a

0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:42.839
<v Speaker 2>room now. I said, it was one of the lux

0:37:42.920 --> 0:37:44.040
<v Speaker 2>or we can go look at it. So we went

0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:45.840
<v Speaker 2>over one night and looked at it and it was

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:50.600
<v Speaker 2>just the perfect little room. And we did a year

0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:54.200
<v Speaker 2>there and then we did an hour We're twenty and

0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:55.560
<v Speaker 2>it was one of the things. Now I would never

0:37:55.719 --> 0:37:57.120
<v Speaker 2>change in the world. This is I don't think I

0:37:57.120 --> 0:37:58.440
<v Speaker 2>know how to do anything outside Vegas.

0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Man, that's incredble.

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Road shows are still fun and exciting because it's a

0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:06.160
<v Speaker 2>different energy and different you know, people have waited to

0:38:06.280 --> 0:38:07.840
<v Speaker 2>see you and they you know, they have their We

0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:10.080
<v Speaker 2>had people last night was great, these kids and had

0:38:10.120 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 2>painted their faces orange and they had orange wigs and

0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:18.640
<v Speaker 2>they call the Orange Man Group. And so it's fun fanatics,

0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:20.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, like parrot heads and dead heads. We have

0:38:20.960 --> 0:38:22.720
<v Speaker 2>carrot heads, that's correct.

0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Talking about your hair, you and I have something in

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:43.880
<v Speaker 1>common in the fact that you've never been combed. You

0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:48.160
<v Speaker 1>it is hard to go out and not be I'm

0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:51.759
<v Speaker 1>pretty recognizable as well, and so is it. Do you

0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:55.480
<v Speaker 1>ever get to go anywhere and feel like you get

0:38:55.520 --> 0:38:57.680
<v Speaker 1>to be any in any way? Anonymous?

0:38:58.560 --> 0:39:00.279
<v Speaker 2>No, not really, but you know, you kind of you

0:39:00.360 --> 0:39:02.359

0:40:31.000 --> 0:40:33.120

0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:36.040
<v Speaker 2>don't have a one not I don't know. Never say

0:40:36.040 --> 0:40:39.759
<v Speaker 2>anthing politics political wise, but just in general, like what

0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:43.360
<v Speaker 2>do you think about you know, so comic they did something.

0:40:43.360 --> 0:40:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I don't know. I didn't see it. Like

0:40:45.800 --> 0:40:48.239
<v Speaker 2>Dave Chappelle's thing was a lot of contrary. What do

0:40:48.280 --> 0:40:49.640
<v Speaker 2>you what's your take on that? I said, well, I

0:40:49.640 --> 0:40:51.080
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen it. I don't know what. I don't know

0:40:51.120 --> 0:40:52.880
<v Speaker 2>what it is. If I saw it, I could probably comment.

0:40:53.080 --> 0:40:54.960
<v Speaker 2>But what do you think about? I said, I haven't

0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:55.279
<v Speaker 2>seen it.

0:40:55.320 --> 0:40:56.759
<v Speaker 3>I've seen it, I don't know.

0:40:57.960 --> 0:40:59.759
<v Speaker 2>I can't give you anything, and I haven't seen it,

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:02.040
<v Speaker 2>right exactly. Showed it two on your phone right now,

0:41:02.080 --> 0:41:04.600
<v Speaker 2>then I can comment. He said, okay. Then he showed

0:41:04.640 --> 0:41:06.839
<v Speaker 2>it on his phone. I said, oh, all right, yeah,

0:41:08.160 --> 0:41:10.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, what do you think she done that? I'm like, well,

0:41:10.160 --> 0:41:13.040
<v Speaker 2>it's his it's his decision to do it. So what

0:41:13.040 --> 0:41:15.759
<v Speaker 2>do I think about it? I think it's funny. I

0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:18.360
<v Speaker 2>think what I do it probably not I mean a

0:41:18.960 --> 0:41:20.560
<v Speaker 2>carrat Top doing it probab when I get away with it.

0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:23.399
<v Speaker 2>Dave Spelle probably could get away with it. And they're like, oh,

0:41:23.600 --> 0:41:25.319
<v Speaker 2>right on. It's like, but you got to give me

0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:28.719

0:44:44.080 --> 0:44:45.879
<v Speaker 2>And I say, you know, nowadays they just say you're

0:44:45.920 --> 0:44:49.399
<v Speaker 2>voted off the island. I mean, I think about Stoma, right.

0:44:49.640 --> 0:44:52.880
<v Speaker 2>So it was, it was. It was a fun experience.

0:44:52.880 --> 0:44:54.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, for sure of it. It was so long ago,

0:44:54.520 --> 0:44:56.880
<v Speaker 2>my goodness, Ed McMahon, Yeah, stars stars.

0:44:57.280 --> 0:44:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh man.

0:44:58.360 --> 0:45:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, it has built a bit of a cult following

0:45:00.520 --> 0:45:02.160
<v Speaker 1>over the years.

0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:05.839
<v Speaker 1>The viral clip of Norm McDonald's kind of poking fun

0:45:05.880 --> 0:45:09.920
<v Speaker 1>at Courtney thorn Smith on Conan, Uh, did stuff like

0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:12.839
<v Speaker 1>that kind of like that Norm joke? Bother you did

0:45:12.840 --> 0:45:13.680
<v Speaker 1>it ever get to you know?

0:45:13.920 --> 0:45:15.839
<v Speaker 2>The reason that one didn't even more than any other

0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:18.239
<v Speaker 2>ones is because we had already made that joke on

0:45:18.280 --> 0:45:20.839
<v Speaker 2>the set. So when we were the very first day

0:45:20.880 --> 0:45:24.040
<v Speaker 2>of filming, we said this chairman was sleeping over at

0:45:24.040 --> 0:45:26.680
<v Speaker 2>the craft services and I said, it's called chairman of

0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:29.799
<v Speaker 2>the board, not bored. Oh, so we already had that

0:45:29.840 --> 0:45:33.600
<v Speaker 2>stupid joke. I thought. What was more mean was what

0:45:34.040 --> 0:45:36.160
<v Speaker 2>her I'm a comic. I can take it. I mean,

0:45:36.400 --> 0:45:37.880
<v Speaker 2>you know the fact that he and the more he

0:45:37.960 --> 0:45:39.960
<v Speaker 2>ripped on me was like, it's funny, I'm a comic,

0:45:39.960 --> 0:45:41.879
<v Speaker 2>and they couldn't believe that I was in a movie.

0:45:41.880 --> 0:45:44.160
<v Speaker 2>And then I wasn't doing props in a movie, like

0:45:44.640 --> 0:45:46.719
<v Speaker 2>and she was like, he can act, he's a he's

0:45:47.000 --> 0:45:48.719
<v Speaker 2>you can watch it. It's I feel so bad for

0:45:48.760 --> 0:45:51.360
<v Speaker 2>her because she's just defending me the whole time, just

0:45:51.360 --> 0:45:54.799
<v Speaker 2>like he's a great guy, Like, oh, come on, no,

0:45:54.880 --> 0:45:57.000

0:45:57.080 --> 0:45:59.279
<v Speaker 2>he does his work, he knows his lines, and he's

0:45:59.360 --> 0:46:02.440
<v Speaker 2>jerming and he's he's you know, he worked so hard

0:46:02.440 --> 0:46:04.919
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, oh what you know, coma and she's

0:46:05.120 --> 0:46:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I felt so bad for her, and she was just like,

0:46:07.440 --> 0:46:09.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, she could have said, she could have cut

0:46:09.320 --> 0:46:11.680
<v Speaker 2>it off and said, okay, apparently you guys don't like him.

0:46:11.719 --> 0:46:13.359
<v Speaker 2>I liked him. What's the next question? But she just

0:46:13.440 --> 0:46:15.640
<v Speaker 2>kept going and they kept going, and I just said

0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:18.239
<v Speaker 2>for her. I felt bad, but I could care that.

0:46:18.320 --> 0:46:21.239

<v Speaker 2>what made it great. Well, you are.

0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Often referred to as one of the nicest guys in comedy.

0:46:33.600 --> 0:46:34.040
<v Speaker 2>That's nice.

0:46:34.360 --> 0:46:36.719
<v Speaker 1>So my question for you is, can you tell us

0:46:36.840 --> 0:46:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the meanest thing you've ever done? Oh God, what have

0:46:40.480 --> 0:46:41.320
<v Speaker 1>you ever done? Anything?

0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Mean? I mean in my career, in my career life,

0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:51.200
<v Speaker 2>in my personal life. I'm a real when I'm carrots off,

0:46:51.200 --> 0:46:51.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm sweet.

0:46:53.560 --> 0:46:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Give us the worst thing.

0:46:57.760 --> 0:46:59.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a lot of meaning me. I'm trying

0:46:59.400 --> 0:47:02.400
<v Speaker 2>to think my system. Probably he knows his head spinning.

0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Let me bring out the list.

0:47:07.360 --> 0:47:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. But there's something that really has been

0:47:09.280 --> 0:47:12.080
<v Speaker 2>just rotten that I felt horrible about, horribly about doing.

0:47:12.120 --> 0:47:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I always stop for people. Even you're missing

0:47:16.040 --> 0:47:18.439
<v Speaker 2>a flight. You're like, dude, I'm I got two minutes

0:47:18.480 --> 0:47:19.840
<v Speaker 2>to get to my gate. No, I know, but my

0:47:19.920 --> 0:47:21.919
<v Speaker 2>daughter really loves you and needs a picture. I'm like, okay,

0:47:21.920 --> 0:47:27.239
<v Speaker 2>but I'm gonna miss my playing. Yeah, No, I I

0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:31.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I I know. I mean I try to

0:47:31.719 --> 0:47:33.600
<v Speaker 2>be like I don't. I put I do things to

0:47:33.680 --> 0:47:35.879
<v Speaker 2>be stupid fun like, but I don't. I don't think.

0:47:35.920 --> 0:47:38.440
<v Speaker 2>I try not to be mean in any way with anybody,

0:47:38.480 --> 0:47:40.239
<v Speaker 2>my crew, even my crew. You know, I have the

0:47:40.239 --> 0:47:42.760
<v Speaker 2>same crew for forty years. We're you know, we're a family,

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:44.560
<v Speaker 2>and it's a it's a team. You know. It's not

0:47:44.680 --> 0:47:46.759
<v Speaker 2>me up there, it's everybody up there. It's the sound guy,

0:47:46.800 --> 0:47:49.960
<v Speaker 2>the video guy that yeah you know, not so much

0:47:50.040 --> 0:47:53.680
<v Speaker 2>the lighting guys. They're not anybody is you know. It's

0:47:53.719 --> 0:47:55.640
<v Speaker 2>a team of people that put together a show over night.

0:47:55.719 --> 0:47:57.800
<v Speaker 2>So it's important. It's not just you.

0:47:57.800 --> 0:48:01.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you didn't end up being this successful

0:48:01.120 --> 0:48:02.520
<v Speaker 1>of a comedian, what do you think you would have

0:48:02.520 --> 0:48:03.000
<v Speaker 1>done for a living?

0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:05.359
<v Speaker 2>I would have won one of the Backstreet Boys if

0:48:05.440 --> 0:48:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I had. You know, I'm from Orlando. I knew them

0:48:07.920 --> 0:48:11.319
<v Speaker 2>when they were literally boys, Yeah in sync. All those

0:48:11.320 --> 0:48:13.560
<v Speaker 2>guys all from Orlando, I knew. I knew all of them.

0:48:13.600 --> 0:48:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Brittany's and they're just little kids. I used to open

0:48:15.719 --> 0:48:18.840
<v Speaker 2>up for the Mickey Mouse Club and talk about a

0:48:18.840 --> 0:48:22.480
<v Speaker 2>hell gig. Not not the kids. No, we just you know,

0:48:22.600 --> 0:48:24.520
<v Speaker 2>they put you in a in you know, a little studio.

0:48:24.640 --> 0:48:29.520
<v Speaker 2>It's like, you know, thirty people and they're just you know,

0:48:29.560 --> 0:48:31.840
<v Speaker 2>it's two in the afternoon and you're like, hey everybody,

0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:35.480
<v Speaker 2>and the kids like, what with your hair? You know.

0:48:36.239 --> 0:48:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I think I did it like two times and I said,

0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:42.239
<v Speaker 2>this is a bomb with rearview, but this is yeah,

0:48:42.480 --> 0:48:46.799
<v Speaker 2>this is yeah. I was like, this is not for me.

0:48:47.280 --> 0:48:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm like no, but it's a great platform for suicide. Yes,

0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:58.759
<v Speaker 2>it was a great music. Do you listen to soft jazz? Yeah, yeah,

0:48:58.960 --> 0:49:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I listened to. I like rock and roll, I like

0:49:01.200 --> 0:49:06.360
<v Speaker 2>country music. Yeah, you like soft jazz? Yeah. I'm pretty musical.

0:49:06.680 --> 0:49:09.759
<v Speaker 2>I love music of any types, almost all types. I

0:49:10.520 --> 0:49:13.480
<v Speaker 2>can't not hear anything. I bat my foot to it.

0:49:13.480 --> 0:49:15.200
<v Speaker 2>It's good. I don't I don't really have it. But

0:49:15.200 --> 0:49:16.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if I had to pick, you know, after

0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the show up on country or rock and roll, probably,

0:49:20.239 --> 0:49:24.040
<v Speaker 2>but then I like listen to you know, Neil Diamond

0:49:24.360 --> 0:49:27.520
<v Speaker 2>or Berry Man. I mean, I get in the carpenters

0:49:27.520 --> 0:49:29.719
<v Speaker 2>of the movie like, what are you listening to the carpenters? Like,

0:49:30.040 --> 0:49:31.839
<v Speaker 2>can you put us to sleep? Morning after the show?

0:49:31.920 --> 0:49:33.799
<v Speaker 2>With the carpenters, I'm like, it's great music.

0:49:34.040 --> 0:49:35.920
<v Speaker 3>It's great music. She's one of the greatest drummers ever.

0:49:36.520 --> 0:49:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Be right, yea, truly. So what is the best act

0:49:41.040 --> 0:49:41.560
<v Speaker 3>you've ever.

0:49:41.440 --> 0:49:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Seen in Vegas? Wow? Well, I don't again one thing

0:49:46.880 --> 0:49:48.319
<v Speaker 2>about that. I don't get a chance to go out

0:49:48.360 --> 0:49:49.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot because I'm doing a show. So now I

0:49:49.920 --> 0:49:51.359
<v Speaker 2>get done with the show, the shows are all over,

0:49:51.840 --> 0:49:53.799
<v Speaker 2>and then on Sunday, no one normally has a show,

0:49:53.840 --> 0:49:55.200
<v Speaker 2>So I don't get a lot of a lot of

0:49:55.239 --> 0:49:57.879
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to see. But I've seen some, you know, I've

0:49:57.880 --> 0:50:02.759
<v Speaker 2>seen the all the circu shows that unbelievable. We saw

0:50:02.800 --> 0:50:05.279
<v Speaker 2>Elton's Rodgerster and one of them, I'll tell you, the

0:50:05.360 --> 0:50:09.239
<v Speaker 2>Rod Stewart was pretty fascinating to me because it's Rod

0:50:09.280 --> 0:50:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Stewart and he you know, he's he has this thing too.

0:50:12.520 --> 0:50:15.759
<v Speaker 2>He's kind of, you know, not a nice guy, but

0:50:15.840 --> 0:50:18.719
<v Speaker 2>he's that's at least you hear sometimes there. And I

0:50:18.719 --> 0:50:20.479
<v Speaker 2>have a guy in l A that drives him around.

0:50:20.480 --> 0:50:22.759
<v Speaker 2>He's he doesn't he has nice stories to tell about

0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:28.160
<v Speaker 2>him watching the show at Caesars, and it's like, is

0:50:28.160 --> 0:50:32.960
<v Speaker 2>it little Caesars? And uh, and he sold it out.

0:50:33.000 --> 0:50:36.440
<v Speaker 2>It's a little Caesar. I can sell. I can sell

0:50:36.440 --> 0:50:39.239
<v Speaker 2>a little Caesars. See that's how they get you. They

0:50:39.280 --> 0:50:44.799
<v Speaker 2>don't tell you the fine print, Caesars, little Caesar fine print.

0:50:45.440 --> 0:50:53.880
<v Speaker 2>So so uh, he's up there doing it, you know,

0:50:54.560 --> 0:50:56.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, lay everything. He's just doing all of his

0:50:56.560 --> 0:51:00.000
<v Speaker 2>hits and he just he's start. Everyone's got cameras out, everybody,

0:51:00.280 --> 0:51:02.919
<v Speaker 2>the whole you know, it's our dead area. And he says,

0:51:02.960 --> 0:51:04.719
<v Speaker 2>and people the security is trying to get them to

0:51:04.760 --> 0:51:07.239
<v Speaker 2>stop filming, and there's you know, three thousand people. You

0:51:07.280 --> 0:51:10.279
<v Speaker 2>can't stop. When he comes on the mic, he says hey,

0:51:10.400 --> 0:51:13.120
<v Speaker 2>he says, hey, mate, you know, if they want to,

0:51:13.160 --> 0:51:15.879
<v Speaker 2>if you want to film the show, film the show man,

0:51:15.920 --> 0:51:18.040
<v Speaker 2>do whatever you want here. You film me dance. You

0:51:18.080 --> 0:51:19.640
<v Speaker 2>want to come up here and dance and sing with me,

0:51:19.880 --> 0:51:23.200
<v Speaker 2>come on, dance and sing with me. I'm watching and

0:51:23.200 --> 0:51:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking, Wow, he didn't just say that, like he

0:51:25.200 --> 0:51:28.880
<v Speaker 2>said that to be a joke. Jeff, were you with me?

0:51:28.960 --> 0:51:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Two thirds and two thirds a third of the crowd

0:51:31.880 --> 0:51:35.480
<v Speaker 2>went on stage, amazing and he sang and danced with him.

0:51:35.640 --> 0:51:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Geez has arms around him singing. This song was over.

0:51:38.360 --> 0:51:40.359
<v Speaker 2>He goes, all right, now you you go go sit

0:51:40.440 --> 0:51:42.600
<v Speaker 2>down there. They all came up and it was just

0:51:42.600 --> 0:51:45.600
<v Speaker 2>in kind of a cool moment because it always like

0:51:45.640 --> 0:51:47.359
<v Speaker 2>no and get back and secure. He was like, come

0:51:47.400 --> 0:51:51.160
<v Speaker 2>on mate, and they just came. Yeah. It was pretty

0:51:51.200 --> 0:51:51.880
<v Speaker 2>pretty amazing.

0:51:52.120 --> 0:51:53.319
<v Speaker 1>Man, that's really cool.

0:51:53.600 --> 0:51:56.520
<v Speaker 2>That was a cold, cool moment. You know, the big

0:51:56.520 --> 0:52:00.759
<v Speaker 2>ones Elton John Shni twenties have all been Schneike Twain.

0:52:00.840 --> 0:52:02.239
<v Speaker 2>We actually came. She came to my show. It was

0:52:02.280 --> 0:52:04.719
<v Speaker 2>kind of funny because she's like, don't announce her. She

0:52:04.760 --> 0:52:06.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't want to be announced. And I said, okay, you know,

0:52:06.480 --> 0:52:08.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to undo that to anybody. And I

0:52:08.760 --> 0:52:10.080
<v Speaker 2>do the same way. I go out and give shots

0:52:10.080 --> 0:52:11.719
<v Speaker 2>a booze into the audience and I go out and

0:52:11.760 --> 0:52:13.520
<v Speaker 2>she's the first one standing there trying to get a shot.

0:52:14.000 --> 0:52:15.200
<v Speaker 2>I said, how great is that? Right?

0:52:17.440 --> 0:52:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Finally looking back, Yes, if you could go back in

0:52:20.920 --> 0:52:26.160
<v Speaker 1>time and talk to young Carrot Top on his first

0:52:26.239 --> 0:52:29.279
<v Speaker 1>night in Vegas. Let's say your first night at the

0:52:29.360 --> 0:52:31.800
<v Speaker 1>lux Or twenty years ago, not your first night in Vegas,

0:52:31.800 --> 0:52:34.000
<v Speaker 1>but your first night at the lux Or twenty years ago.

0:52:34.600 --> 0:52:36.960
<v Speaker 1>What would you tell him, if you could give him

0:52:36.960 --> 0:52:38.439
<v Speaker 1>a piece of advice, what would you tell him?

0:52:38.600 --> 0:52:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Do it all different? Seriously, run away, I think about you,

0:52:42.560 --> 0:52:46.719
<v Speaker 2>run away, think about it, think about this. Well, at

0:52:46.760 --> 0:52:49.080
<v Speaker 2>that point I had already been kind of getting into

0:52:49.200 --> 0:52:51.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I committed to the lux Or pretty

0:52:51.960 --> 0:52:56.400
<v Speaker 2>and I and I was really not. The president of

0:52:56.440 --> 0:52:58.040
<v Speaker 2>the hotel had called me a little I was boarding

0:52:58.040 --> 0:53:01.680
<v Speaker 2>a plane and he said, never met him. He said,

0:53:01.680 --> 0:53:04.080
<v Speaker 2>scutie and I said yeah. I said hell. He says,

0:53:05.520 --> 0:53:08.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm offering. I want to offer you the

0:53:07.840 --> 0:53:11.960
<v Speaker 2>headline gig at the lux Or. And I was like oh,

0:53:12.360 --> 0:53:14.239
<v Speaker 2>I said oh wow. I said, well, I'm getting on

0:53:14.280 --> 0:53:18.680
<v Speaker 2>a plane. I'll call you back when I land. He's like, no,

0:53:19.080 --> 0:53:21.040
<v Speaker 2>you don't, you don't. You don't get on a plane.

0:53:21.200 --> 0:53:22.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm asking you want to be the headline of the Luxor.

0:53:22.960 --> 0:53:25.240
<v Speaker 2>You don't. You pretty much answered that like right away,

0:53:25.600 --> 0:53:29.160
<v Speaker 2>you don't like And I said, well, I got to

0:53:29.200 --> 0:53:32.239
<v Speaker 2>think about it. And I remember, like the longest flight,

0:53:32.280 --> 0:53:35.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking, oh, I might not have done the right

0:53:35.000 --> 0:53:36.719
<v Speaker 2>thing by saying no. I didn't say no. I just

0:53:36.760 --> 0:53:40.960
<v Speaker 2>said I don't know if I don't know yet. And

0:53:40.960 --> 0:53:42.880
<v Speaker 2>then I landed and I said, you know, I'm really

0:53:42.960 --> 0:53:46.279
<v Speaker 2>kind of apprehensive about being a full time I just,

0:53:46.360 --> 0:53:48.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't want to do it. And he

0:53:48.400 --> 0:53:50.400
<v Speaker 2>was like, you got to do it. I mean, dude,

0:53:50.800 --> 0:53:52.880
<v Speaker 2>you're the only guy that there's no other person at

0:53:52.920 --> 0:53:56.799
<v Speaker 2>the lux or is you. And I said again, now

0:53:56.800 --> 0:53:58.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm more stressed out, like I don't I don't want

0:53:58.320 --> 0:54:01.120
<v Speaker 2>to be the face of the property. But then finally

0:54:01.200 --> 0:54:03.680
<v Speaker 2>I caved in. I said, all right, we'll do We'll

0:54:03.680 --> 0:54:05.399
<v Speaker 2>do you know, a year, and we did a year,

0:54:05.520 --> 0:54:08.759
<v Speaker 2>and then then there was like do another year in

0:54:08.800 --> 0:54:11.640
<v Speaker 2>this sit out, another year and three more, I'll do three.

0:54:12.560 --> 0:54:14.799
<v Speaker 2>It was a five years, then five and now it's like, oh,

0:54:14.840 --> 0:54:17.759
<v Speaker 2>I hope they give me to the five. So yeah,

0:54:17.840 --> 0:54:19.759
<v Speaker 2>it was it was a hard decision to make them

0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:21.440
<v Speaker 2>believe it or not because I was just used to

0:54:21.480 --> 0:54:23.759
<v Speaker 2>being out on the road and doing a different thing

0:54:23.800 --> 0:54:26.120
<v Speaker 2>than Vegas. So I was kind of scared to take it,

0:54:26.640 --> 0:54:29.399
<v Speaker 2>but also excited to take it. I think the first

0:54:29.480 --> 0:54:31.279
<v Speaker 2>show ever, though, that's a different story. You know, that

0:54:31.400 --> 0:54:33.920
<v Speaker 2>first time on stage kind of thing. That's the craziest

0:54:33.920 --> 0:54:36.759
<v Speaker 2>one because everyone has probably done. You know when you

0:54:36.840 --> 0:54:38.480
<v Speaker 2>say I'm actually gonna go up and be it, like

0:54:38.520 --> 0:54:43.719
