43
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: stage on acid and really, like you know, you think

44
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: it's going to go well, and it just is like

45
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: people are just like worried about you. That I was

46
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: thinking because it was like the improv marathon at uc B,

47
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: and I was like, I've done this on mushrooms. Why

48
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 3: can't I up the fucking annie and start doing this

49
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: on acid? And just acid's too deep. Man, It's like

50
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 3: it was like penetrating my soul and so I couldn't

51
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: do anything. But uh, I just bombed really hard about

52
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: two weeks ago doing stand up at uc B, which

53
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: I uh built that build that place in my bare hands,

54
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: and uh all yeah good, I'm a poc Alley.

55
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

56
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: And it was just a random show.

57
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: It was like people doing sketch, people doing like, you know,

58
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: really sketchy sketch, comedy stuff, musical stuff, like the kind

59
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 3: of stuff you don't want to go as stand up

60
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 3: up necessarily at and I went. It was a variety show.

61
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 3: It was not for charity. It was just kind of

62
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 3: a one off.

63
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 5: Pretty selfish then, pretty selfish of me to do it. Yeah, no, fires,

64
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 5: I actually I actually live to eating fire ten minutes

65
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 5: after the show. Okay, so you do show was like that?

66
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, no, I started it man, Yeah, why not?

67
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: Did you listen to a Prodigy fire starter as you're

68
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: doing it? That would be I did. I was just

69
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: in a throwback moment.

70
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: But it was interesting.

71
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: Because I try to tell the fire department.

72
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I know you do transcendental meditation, or maybe

73
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: not transcendental, but some sort of meditation. So this was

74
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: a time when I was like, I'm bombing and I

75
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: know it, and I am just usually like the people

76
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: pleaser performer in me is like how can I get

77
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: these guys back?

78
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: And it was just a thing where I just started.

79
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: Going, oh, this is really fascinating, just out loud, and

80
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: like Grace Freud and a couple of people I knew

81
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: were in the in the green room and they were

82
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: laughing because they were like the I was just on

83
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: the TV back there, like comics bombing and comics there's

84
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: nothing funnier to comics when people bomb. And I was

85
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: just like, I'm sure people are enjoying it. It sounds

86
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: like people are enjoying and it was just silence I

87
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 3: couldn't get. It was just aggressive, like get off.

88
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: The stage and it really trying new material or we

89
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: just no. That was the thing.

90
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: It was.

91
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: You were in between a like a acoustic folk singer

92
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: and like a juggler exactly.

93
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 3: It was just but also like could have done well usually,

94
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: And I was thinking about bombing in general, like when

95
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: I've bombed, it's usually because I'm in a good place

96
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: and I want to try something new, and it's not

97
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 3: because I'm like, oh, I was so depressed. I've definitely

98
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: like probably bombed because I was like depressed or something

99
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 3: like that. But usually it's like I'm gonna go for it.

100
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask out girl.

101
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: That level. This was a time when I really did go,

102
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: oh I'm bombing. I can't win, you know what, fuck you,

103
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 3: and I just started going this is really fat and

104
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: I just kind of did that for like about the

105
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 3: last four minutes. But Transcendental Meditation. I feel like meditating

106
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 3: everyday got me to the place where I was like,

107
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 3: you know what, it's not gonna go anywhere. This is

108
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: just just enjoy it. See if you can play with

109
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 3: the tension a little bit, but like, I'm not gonna

110
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 3: be like but in that show, I was like I

111
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: had a great attitude.

112
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: I was like, fuck this, I'm the best, you know.

113
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: And then it was like nothing, nothing, Oh, okay, you're

114
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: gonna take me down a couple of notches. That's fine,

115
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: fuck you. It was just interesting to stop in the

116
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: middle of it and be like I am bombing rather

117
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 3: than oh geez, and then you're driving home going like, well,

118
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: I think I'm going back a little bit or whatever,

119
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 3: like fuck that.

120
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: Just enjoy it, you know.

121
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and can you get me booked on that show?

122
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah you can't.

123
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's but I know you only do fire fire

124
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: Tragedy staff. But and then I I bombed. I I

125
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 3: was thinking like of the bomb feeling based on that show,

126
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: like I've bombed socially a.

127
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: Lot, like every give.

128
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 3: I think the first time where I was like I

129
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 3: am being humiliated in front of a lot of kids

130
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 3: was like I went to a new I went to

131
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: a new school, and the first time it like really

132
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: sticks in my memory.

133
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: He's like, I went to a new school.

134
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: I was in third grade, and I because I was

135
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: in a new school, like I was pretty down with

142
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: mentally impaired. And but he would see me every day

143
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: and go John, and I'd be like John and be like, hey,

158
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: in front of all these kids, everyone's laughing at me.

159
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: I'm dirty for defending this innocent kid. And my comeback

160
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: was this. I went people who know karate don't say

161
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: karate move when they do karate.

162
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: Was you're a comedian.

163
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: No.

164
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: I was like indignant.

165
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: I was like, people, people don't say that if you

166
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 3: really know karate, you don't like sand karate.

167
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: From the ground.

168
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: But I was trying to like get back again.

169
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: It just that was it. I think I got.

170
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: I mean, you're right, you're right. People who say karate nerm,

171
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 4: they don't do that.

172
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't go karate ti. I don't announce it

173
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: like that.

174
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: Karate moved.

175
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 4: Karate move time is not a lot about like projecting

176
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 4: what you're about to do. I think it's a lot

177
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 4: of like being faster than the opponent.

178
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

179
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: I think it's about yeah, beating them up in really

180
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: super efficient way.

181
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and just yelling out it's karate moved.

182
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. No.

183
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: I remember like being at this bar McManus. It was

184
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: like the UCB bar, and there was a celebrity who

00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 3: was talking to her, was making her laugh.

Speaker 1: Like you know, we should hang out. And she stood

200
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: up and just walked away.

201
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,400

251
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,599

252
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: like going like, oh man, I should ask this girl out,

253
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,280

Speaker 4: I'm yeah, yeah, we always bomb.

262
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: We're bombing now. This is bad.

263
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 4: These people who work here are just like they're putting

264
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 4: in applications at new jobs.

265
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Don't work here. This is we work and I share

266
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: the space.

267
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: Yeah I did bomb. I did the high school play

268
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: in what place? The fucking a really hard play, The Crucible,

269
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: Like I was John Proctor and the Crucible. Yeah, the

270
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: harrowing bitter tale of like injustice in the in the

271
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: like Salem, Massachusetts. And you know how like when you're

272
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 3: a kid or before you know how to act, like

273
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: you think you have something memorized when you can just

274
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 3: recite it in your head, but you're really just kind

275
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: of like kind of looking at the lines, and like

276
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: I was to the point where I was like, I'm good.

277
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: I think like I can do this in rehearsal when

278
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: I'm walking around my house or whatever, like I'm just

279
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: going through the whole play. I know it, but you

280
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 3: don't really know what memorization is yet.

281
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: No pressure.

282
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah you have to like get it into your fucking

283
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 3: bones and like be very confident.

284
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: I just didn't know it yet.

285
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: And on the first performance I rocked it and just

286
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: accidentally did it right because I had so much adrenaline.

287
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: The second performance, I bombed so hard and us was

288
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: like looking there was one kid that couldn't act, but

289
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: he had the whole thing memorized and he was just

290
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: looking at me sternly, like going like no, no, no, no,

291
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 3: And I just got it all wrong. And then it

292
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: didn't matter because like people came up to me afterwards

293
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: and they were like, you're great, and I was like, oh,

294
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 3: I guess nothing met.

295
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I am pretty good at then.

296
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 3: The whole play.

297
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: But that's okay.

298
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 4: Did you have to do like high school previews where

299
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 4: you would have to perform? My classes would get pulled

300

Speaker 3: Scene was cool, and that's like what you see. B

629
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 3: was at the very tip top, Like it seemed like

630
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 3: there were more just like New York City freakazoids there

631
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 3: and it.

632
00:29:54,960 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: Was outsider outside. Shout out to Johnny Conroy.

633
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 4: My first, my very first open mic was in North

634
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 4: Hollywood and this guy I like knew from an acting

635
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 4: class or something was there and I ran him outside

636
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 4: and he was like really excited to show me his

637
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 4: new bit, and I was like, what do you mean

638
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 4: show me your new bit. I'll just see it on stage,

639
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 4: and he was like, oh, I gotta show you. And

640
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 4: then he like opened up his pants and pulled his

641
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 4: pants down, and he had like a photorealistic knit fake

642
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 4: dick that he was like hell ya, like he could.

643
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 4: He was like, well, the end of my act, I'm

644
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 4: going to reveal myself to the audience. But it's not

645
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 4: illegal if it's not your actual penis. Oh boy, And

646
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 4: I was like, so you found the loop.

647
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 3: The loophole too exposing yourself.

648
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 4: Also at that point, like the week before I saw him,

649
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 4: he did not have good teeth, and that week he

650
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 4: had like full caps, like full like yeah, full veniers,

651
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 4: just like, oh my god.

652
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: There was this. When I first took a Groundlings class,

653
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: they'd put you in this like like preliminary one off

654
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: glass with everybody to separate the people that have like

655
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: at least just a teeny bit of stageperience, the total

656
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: yahoos who's never stepped on stage once in their life,

657
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: like complete like coming from an absolute amateur position, like

658
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: this is their first time ever venturing. Yeah, so it's

659
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: a real simple class. The guy like just pairs people.

660
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: He's like, go up there and do a bit about

661
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: a yoga class. Go over there and say the first thing.

662
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is going to be a train

663
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: wreck just something in my bones. I was like, this

664
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: is about to be a fucking disaster because half these

665
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: people are Hollywood yahoos who have like thousand yards stare

666
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: and their eye like clearly like undiagnosed quack of doodles

667
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: on the street, like yeah, I could do comedy. There's

668
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: you there are like yeah, I'm like I can do

669
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: like you know, I want to get into comedy writing.

670
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm somewhat saying enough to pursue a career or at

671
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: least a hobby. But some people were just complete wagged

672
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: as this one. This one guy, I saw it happening

673
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: as it was happening. The groundling Seazer goes, all right,

674
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: he picks this guy, this middle aged white guy who

675
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: looks like a Tim and Eric character, who's like incredibly white.

676
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: He's got khakis and a blue button up shirt that

677
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: he like he works at Blockbuster Video or best Buy, so.

678
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 4: He's got great style.

679
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: He's got a great style. He's very like like looks

680
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: like Iowa bread, looks like he's never met a black

681
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: person in his life, very pale and corny. And this

682
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: is like twenty years ago. I'm gonna say yeah and

683
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: then and then He's like, okay, whatever his name was,

684
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: all right, Greg, you go up with Janet and he

685
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: picked like the only black girl in the class. And

686
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,479
Speaker 1: they had to improvise their whole scene. And I'm like,

687
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: I already know this white guy's gonna say something race

688
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: and it brought just my Spidey sense. Everything came to that.

689
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, something's gonna just be catastrophic, and boy did

690
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: I predict. So all they had to do was improv

691
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: They could make up whatever they wanted. They could be

692
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: like friends, they could be a husband and wife.

693
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: Yea.

694
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: And the guy in the first millisecond started touching her

695
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: hair never better before. And he goes and the first

696
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: thing out of his mouth he was like, I love

697
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: being your slave owner, old Bessie. Your prettiest.

698
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 3: On my on my plantation sounds.

699
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: Girl, it's so.

700
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 3: Slapped him across the good Wow.

701
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: It was like fuck you and ran out. He might

702
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: have said the N word in the middle of his

703
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: field too. Sounds like I was coming.

704
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 3: Here's a good way for me to framing able to

705
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 3: say the end, make the black person I'm in with us.

706
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, oh finally, okay, pace, first off the wall,

707
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 4: you got it.

708
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 3: You gotta set the where and what. You're my slave,

709
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 3: I'm your master. Let's go the same time.

710
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm touching a girl. I fucking win today.

00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 3: You know I live in Hollywood.

Speaker 1: She slaps some prossive face. Oh man, screams out of

713
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: she runs outside. Then he runs after her, apologizing outside

00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: the teachers like this. He's like, I guess I gotta

715

00:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 3: one time.

747
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: Actually, my friend saw him live and he said, he's

748
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: the worst performer he's ever seen. Why it sounds like

749
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: he's gargling. No, he's gargling, Well, yes that, but he

750
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: just sounds like he's gargling razor blades with my friend

751
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: said that was it.

752
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 3: He like had no voice and he was singing I

753
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 3: think Ballad of a Thin Man or something, which is

754
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 3: a song I like. And it took me like two

755
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 3: minutes to figure out, oh, this is a song I recognized,

756
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 3: Like you couldn't understand the words at all, and he

757
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 3: was playing this organ and he was like kind of

758
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 3: not facing the audience. No but no, but people people

759
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: were like, oh, you got it.

Speaker 1: You caught him on a really bad like you have.

761
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 3: To see him because he still is good, like even

762
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 3: in his eighties, like he can muster together. It's just

763
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 3: most shows are bad, and he's addicted to touring. He's

764
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 3: never stopped me.

765
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,920

Speaker 2: Good.

772
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: So I don't think Joni Mitchell likes it. So Bob Dylan,

773
00:36:58,719 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: that's the worst show you ever seen?

774
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 3: No, I think I've seen worse. That just kind of

775
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 3: popped into my mind, is like I can't believe I'm leaving.

776
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 3: I was like looking around, going, I'm leaving a Bob Dylan,

Speaker 1: I go, what's the worst comedy show You've ever seen?

780
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,120

00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: the fucking Alligator loungees I think, uh no, I thought

Speaker 1: he was going to say something like that and he goes.

783
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: The worst show I've ever been to is when I

784
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: took my mom to see George Carlin, and I go

785
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: George Carlin just after George Carlin's the best, one of

786
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: the best comics of all time. He goes, he used

787
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: to be He's like completely crazy. Now I go, what

788
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: do you mean? It is right before Carlin died. He goes, Dude,

789
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: I brought my mom because she's a fan. That's her generation.

790
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be this great mother's

791
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: son kind of fun birthday gift, you know, yeh yeah,

Speaker 1: he's he's from your generation to generation. He goes, have

793
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: you heard any of his new stuff or stuff that

794
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: he's practiced recently. I'm like, no, I didn't mean, I know,

795
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 1: like the classic Carlin specials from like the eighties and seventies.

796
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: He's like, dude. His opening joke was like I want

797
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: to drag the teenage girl to the woods and her

798
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: log cabin cut her, put me out and disembodied, and

799
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: his mom like, oh my god, Texas Chansaw massacre what

800
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about?

801
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 4: And with the point, Yeah, there was no point anyway,

802
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 4: That's just something I want to do.

803
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: WHOA, that's a show I want to see.

804
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I was never a huge Carlin fan. I

805
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 3: mean that's that's that's obviously not something you're supposed to say.

806
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 3: I was never like I was like I like Eddie Murphy,

807
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 3: not George Carlin, like when I was a little kid.

808
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: I understand he's very important to comedy, but I want

809
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 3: to see that version like.

810
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said he was just melting down, like super

811
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: embarrassing from his mom. She's like, what the hell?

812
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 3: Oh man, Yeah, I've been the Yeah, like comedy shows

813
00:38:58,360 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 3: I've I've done.

814
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: I did a show over the improv when it's bad.

815
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: Improv when it's bad is one of the word.

816
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 4: But when it's good, it's also bad.

817
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: Well, it's like bad improv shows I've been to. I like,

818
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: it's it's like they should be illegal.

819
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing worse than bad theater. Bad theater because

820
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 3: there's a script that they're going through. Improv, like there

821
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 3: is a certain amount of like all right, let's move

822
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 3: to the next scene, and then that scene won't work

823
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: and they'll be like I'm watching horrible improv. But bad

824
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 3: theater you're like really held hostage hostage. I've Broadway shows

825
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,479
Speaker 3: where it's just like, oh, this show just doesn't work

826
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 3: and I don't understand why. But the vibe is not there.

827
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 3: Someone's not excited about this, and it is hell.

828
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 4: It's like hell to get through, really bad like three

829
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 4: hours bucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I met a very bad show.

830
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 3: I remember seeing Raid. The first time I saw Rage

831
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 3: against the Machine. It was at like one of the

832
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 3: early lollapaloozas, and it was like we just but we

833
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 3: didn't know who they were. They weren't famous and okay,

834
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 3: and they went on it like four in the afternoon,

835
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 3: and I remember me and my middle school buddies were

836
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 3: watching this ship and Zach de Laroka comes out and goes.

837
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 2: What you tell me?

838
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 3: And You're like, who was this fucking white wrapper?

839
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 2: Nerd?

840
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: You were a cop back then we took off. I

841
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: was a cop back.

842
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 4: Very on top of America back then.

843
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

844
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I was the skinhead cop.

845
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 4: Yeah.

846
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 3: So I wasn't into what they were. I wasn't into

847
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 3: what they were laying down. Oh man, I'm sure. Yeah,

848
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 3: there's gotta be bad shows, and that what's a bad

849
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 3: fucking show?

850
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 4: They're all you know, I think they're all bad all shows. No,

851
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 4: I think no, no, no, there's a lot of really

852
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 4: good shows, of course, But like I think, in general,

853
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 4: if there's a show that you haven't seen, it's it's

854
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 4: bad because because there was a reason you didn't see it.

855
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 4: You know, there's more bad shows in the world.

856
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: I took my mom to Street No More and she

857
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: was like, you like it? No, She was like, why

858
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: is it so dark in here? I go, Mom, you

859
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: gotta be quiet. I could put the mask on. She goes,

860
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: this mask wasn't made for Jewish noses. It's hurting my face.

861
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: And then she keeps like putting the thing up, and

862
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: I'm like, mom, you got a whisper. It's an interactive play?

863
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 4: Is that one?

864
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: She goes, you told me a play. I thought there'd

865
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: be seats. I'm standing for hours. I'm exhausted. I'm like,

866
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: stop complaining. This is fucking art. And then she's like, no,

867
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm sitting. And she would just sit on Pride. Yeah,

868
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: she would sit on set back and her mask.

869
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 3: Well, people will think you're a part of the show.

870
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 3: If you don't have the mask on, that makes you blank,

871
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 3: right mask A so you're in the show as like

872
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 3: a modern dressed person. I don't know even know where

873
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 3: my son is.

874
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: I remember she's checking her voicemails all loud and sh yeah,

875
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: clearly not a play.

876
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 3: I'm walking the whole through a hallway.

877
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 4: Remember that ship, Like she'd be like this is cool.

878
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 4: She was like, I think that's really cool. I like

879
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 4: that immersive theater.

Speaker 3: DiCaprio was there, they took them up into the ceiling

886
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 3: and they fucking bounced them around and stuff, and then

887
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 3: it would be like, oh, Sleep No More. Well, Leonardo

888
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 3: DiCaprio went to sleep and they fucked a girl and
