And I was very 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.439 proud to watch you take that stage. I've seen you 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.080 perform a lot, I've seen you do your stuff, I've watched. 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.040 You be nice to them. 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.120 Be nice is my worst Steve before it walks out, 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.520 never listens. But I've always seen your stuff and I 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.600 felt this thing has you know, it just had it 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:35.680 has heard it. It's funny as hell, it has heart 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.680 and is a great story and you really get you 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.000 really open up in a way that you haven't in 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.800 your other specials, which I really enjoyed. 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.640 Thank you. So I am excited. Attention to detail I 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.600 think that I put to the special I tried to 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:51.480 bring to two cool moms as well. The decor, the 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:52.679 color palettes. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.199 The design that you did. No, I did that. 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:59.480 You did that, and you did so you did get 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:00.200 Oh you forgot. 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.720 So you fly here and you think that's enough. So 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:10.000 that's good. No, But I'm proud of it, and I'm 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:11.240 excited for people to see it, and I want to 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:12.720 make sure that people, you know, give it to love 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.959 and please please do because you know you deserve it. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.800 It's great and I want to hear people have. 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.520 To say, yeah, I do too. You know. That's the 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.720 thing with these things, And we were discussing it before 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.959 we went on air that just like you film these 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.679 things and so much work and investment goes into them 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.640 and then you forget. It's like, oh, yeah, now I 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:32.520 hope people like it. 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.480 Yeah, now, are you nervous for people to see it? 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:35.800 What's your what's your what's your vibe? 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.800 I'm excited for people to see it because I think 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.600 because the concept is so unique and different. And again 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.640 it's you know, it's the late night talk show, so 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:47.640 it's and hour special. It takes place on the set 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.840 of a late night talk show. And talk shows are 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:53.000 really three styles of writing. It's one liners, that's your monologue, 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.760 panel storytelling, traditional stand up at the end. So I 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:01.360 remember when I first came up with the concept, it 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:05.280 got rejected. Nobody wanted it. I think really nobody wanted 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.679 me at the time because we all go up and 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.040 down and up and down, and at the time, my 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:16.720 stock was pretty low, and it just everybody just said no, why. 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.560 And I think some people thought it was a gimmick, 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.560 and I just I don't know, I just I just 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.199 didn't give up on it, you know. I was like, 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.079 it's got to work. Somebody's got to give me an opportunity. 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.200 And I was getting to the point where I was 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.600 going to self finance it on my own, and I 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.080 was gearing up to film it in Phoenix, and I 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.679 was working out a door deal with the guys that 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.720 Stand Up Live so that I could take the money 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.840 from the door deal and infuse it into the product. 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:47.240 And that's what it was going to do. I was 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.760 going to do it on the stage at Stand Up Live. 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.440 And then I took a Hail Mary and invited my 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.440 friend Ryan from Amazon to come out and see it. 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.040 He saw it and he came backstage. He said, I 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.119 love it. This is bold. He said bold like six times, 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.880 and I was like, I hope bold means you're gonna fight. 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:05.720 Bold me. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.200 So he uh. He saw it on board. And then 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.400 when I when I knew it was going to actually happen, 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.240 we had started working together, and I know how attentive 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.640 you are to detail and how good you are with production, 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.200 and I thought, well, you know, I think it's so 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.400 funny sometimes when comics are like, yeah, Chris Rock's directing 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.680 my special, or so and so is directed, but it's like, okay, yeah, 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.680 that's anybody could direct a special. My mom could direct 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.559 a comedy special. Honestly, you just put six cameras on 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:42.160 stilts on pegs and you just say action and then 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.720 they're all recording it and then it's like you go 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.320 and edit it. But this had this was different. There 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.040 was a lot of production value in this. There was 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:56.080 a lot of it's not a typical stereotypical stand up special. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.040 There was a lot of moving parts to this, and 0:12:58.120 --> 0:12:59.000 so there was a lot. 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.200 Of live band. Like I had a lot of decisions. 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.920 To be made creativity, creatively, and you came in and 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.679 you had great ideas out of the gates. You were Honestly, 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.840 you were the first person I met other than me 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.920 that got at the minute I said it. There's still 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.800 some people like even when they after taping afterwards, I 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.520 heard it like seven times. Yeah, you kept explaining to me. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.920 I never understood until I saw it, And I was like, 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.000 I don't understand how you can't see it. But even 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:30.440 the production company, Brian Volquois, San Cisco, they both said 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.160 it to me and they produced it and they go, 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:34.760 I didn't know what it was going to be until 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.600 we did it. I was like, it's crazy. But you 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.600 were the one. You got it right away and instantly 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:45.400 you're generating ideas, generating like creative thoughts of transitions and 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.200 what to do and all that stuff. And I just 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.280 I just knew I was in good hands because I 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.359 think if you had the typical like stand up director 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.720 or even a director, I think that I don't think 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.640 it would have come out as great as it did. 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.400 So I thank you very much for that, oh of course, 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:01.040 but I appreciate it. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:02.480 But I can't wait to do the next one. 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.800 Yeah, well, I can't wait to see yours. I mean, 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:06.800 now that you've. 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:12.200 Called the first morning show, Now that you did that, 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.800 and you've had the experience with that, and honestly within 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:18.800 a year's time it's basically been a year you've been 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:19.000 on the. 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:26.120 Road, you have a bona fide truly great, engaging, entertaining 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:30.120 hour you could I mean, based off everything I've seen, 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.240 you're not doing these in clubs. You're doing them in theaters. 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.080 I mean that's another mark of like an achievement. It's 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:40.080 harder to do that. It's it's harder to sustain attention 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.960 for sixty minutes in a theater environment than it isn't 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.160 a club. Club's a lot more intimate. So again another testament. 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.479 But but is that something that's on the radar. 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.040 Well, it wasn't it until I when I did yours, 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:51.440 I was like, oh, this could be fun. And then 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.520 now being now having the hour and realizing the content 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:56.520 is there and it's really strong. 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:57.280 I'm really proud of it. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.320 It's different because like in the beginning, I was like, Okay, 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.200 I'm doing this, figure it out, and I was like, oh, 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:02.760 this is really fun, this is funny. And then when 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.840 I found two or three new chunks to put in 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.560 that really were different, and I felt like we're good. 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.520 And then once I stepped up to the theaters, and so 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.040 I think, ultimately, yeah, I think I would do it 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:13.880 because I want this to live on, right, Yeah, I 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:15.400 want to live on I want to go. I don't 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.160 know where I would do put it or whatever, but 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.360 I was just I would want this. I work so 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:20.680 hard on this. You don't want to just because if 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.960 you don't do it anymore, it's gone, right, Like at 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:23.880 least you get it on tape. 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.280 It's like, okay, it's here. It is. 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.480 I could give my kids the DVD to bury me with. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.320 Right in a grim. You know what that is? That's bold, 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:33.800 that's true. 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:35.640 Asked me, what am I going to die? 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:36.240 No? 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:37.680 I said, no, you don't never know. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:42.480 Pali goes, you never do, Dad. 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:45.040 He's five Jesus as he's stirring your coffee. 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:49.200 Ye oh my god, I'm not going to bed early. 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.120 Bitch, right, thank you? 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.440 So no, well, congratulations, I'm very excited for it. And 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.240 it's a big achievement. And uh, I know, a fifth hour. 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.000 Not many comics don't even get one. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.760 Well, it's funny because now is the classic conundrum, right, 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.600 is Okay, you put it out there in the world 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.280 and it's like, Okay, they're gonna start coming to see you. 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.640 So now what And so that's the that's the thing 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.160 that's so frustrating, is like I want to start writing again, 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.880 but then you're sitting there looking at a blank notebook, 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.920 going okay, well, if I'm gonna write, at least for me, 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:22.960 I need to know what i'm writing about, Like what 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.880 is the backbone? What am I driving towards? What's what 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.040 is the structure? God is next one? 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:30.960 You know, everyone has a process. Though you'll get there. 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:32.640 You did it five times already, I. 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.200 Know, but it's still it's still like every time I 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:40.280 it's funny because I feel like I don't know what 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.480 I'm doing. You know, when you're starting over. He was 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.360 just like, what do I do? And then I I 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.320 was flying here today and I was thinking about I 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.760 was like, what if I just did another episode of 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:54.000 the talk show just I mean, it's such a fun format. Yeah, 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.920 I was thinking, Wow, I could do another round of it, 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.760 you know, because I have all these stories that have 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:02.600 actually happened, like really happened. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.600 I mean, so much stuff you said here too is 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.120 so entertaining. Yeah, we'll see. 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:07.879 I don't know, so, I don't know. We'll think about that, 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.920 but but uh, yeah, I can't wait to see yours. 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.080 I think would be whatever you're gonna do, it's gonna 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:14.600 be really really well done. 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:15.600 You're just trying to direct it. 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.600
