Ep 252: Matt McCusker

The comedian reflects on the creation and filming of a new special, emphasizing authenticity, raw humor, and personal vulnerability. Filmed in Boulder, a progressive college town, the special blends stand-up with live audience energy, including a chaotic moment during filming where the comedian’s head was injured, requiring CGI fixes. The production is self-funded and set for release on a streaming platform, with a focus on uncut, unfiltered content. The comedian shares anecdotes about touring, including awkward club performances, audience reactions, and the challenges of live comedy under pressure. He highlights how early failures and "bombing" sets helped refine his material, noting that real audience interaction is essential for growth. The narrative also includes humorous off-topic discussions about internet culture, celebrity scandals, absurd pet ownership, and bizarre internet memes. These elements underscore a broader theme of authenticity—where personal struggles, like driving mishaps, parenting chaos, and strange household items, are embraced as part of the comedic experience. Ultimately, the special is presented as a genuine, unpolished, and deeply human reflection of the comedian’s journey, celebrating raw humor over commercial success. The final tone is lighthearted, self-deprecating, and rooted in the belief that comedy thrives on honesty and spontaneity.

[Music] Hey! Hey! Here we are! We're here with queer. We're back, baby! How you been? Good, good. I taped a special. Yeah. I got that magical moment where it's in the can, but it's not out yet. Bolder. The magical, uh, untapped comedy market, huh? Untapped, uncut Jim. It's, uh, like my penis. It's incredible. Untapped, uncut. Okay, good. Come on. Am I doing a pod with a uncut? You don't like an ant eater? Yeah, it's all right. I cut my sons. Did you? Did it myself? You nibbled it? Yeah. Feel a little bite? Ah, safety scissor. Put a little wine on, then you take a bite. Then you do that for the alcohol? Is that alcohol on the, on the wean right after they do it? Oh, really? What a weird, remember Gerardo had that bed? He goes, "I got invited to a press, you know, the circumcision." And even, what are you, where to that? I just wore a tie with the instantly. That's so good. Great little topical. Great. Not topical. One lighter. You know, bris jokes. Uh, oils, they, they suck the blood off the dip. With the herpes. And then they don't try any of the herpes, but if they have herpes, they will pass them on to the dip. I've heard that. Yeah. And then they shoot a load of the baby dick all over their face. Ha, ha, ha. Woo! That's so. Anyway. So, did you know on Friday, like, you texted me and you were like, "I think I got it Friday pretty much, right?" Yeah. Oh, good pick. Ironically, don't cut that. Uh, yeah, yeah. We, we Friday was one show and it was like 85% sold. So, I was like, "Yeah, this, this will probably be the bad. There's always one clunker." But there's, you know, you, you have, you have kills for the camera anyway, right? That's true. That's true. But it just gets in your head like, "This one isn't sold out, but it looked good." And that one was hot. And I was like, "Hey, that feels good." And then we went to bed, me and him hiked a mountain in the morning. Whoa. We got breakfast. Got some sunshine. Some vitamin D. Battery early show, lights out, white hot. Couldn't be better. Great cry. You only unbelievable part of this is that SalahQ's hike. I don't believe this. This is crazy. Yeah, it was weird. I got photos of it. He's in jeans. He's holding a camera over his shoulder. That's like, well, that's like when you see the coyote. Yeah. Today you're taping a special like fuck. I looked at a bathroom. I was like, are there mountain lions? And they were like, "Oh, yeah." Really? Big boulder mountain. No coyotes in Boulder, right? Not only coyotes. That's the California thing. Some coopers there. I'll tell you that. Ooh, we're there. Yeah. Boulder, baby. I thought it was going to be armpit hair and crunchy horrors with dirty feet. It is hot moms with LLBeen on and little quarters zip ups. It's a college town, too. Yes. College towns. Great comedies. Great comedies. That's true. That's true. And everybody warned me. It's all quefy over there. You're going to bomb. They're going to be offended. They couldn't have been cooler. They were great credit. I didn't warn you about boulder. I would think boulder would be good. Well, they just said it's a college town. It's very progressive. They yell at you and throw paint on you. But it was fine. It was great. Great crowds. And then Saturday late show was a little tired. Yeah. But other than that. You had it at that point. Yeah. Exactly. Between Friday early and Saturday early, you're like, I'm good. 100%. Yeah. Then it was like, fuck around, riff, crowd work, whatever. Do you get any magic moments on the late show? I had a couple riff things. I think people kind of clammed up because they were like, it's a taping. So I was trying to egg them on and fuck with them, but they were a little tepid. I wonder if it helps that it feels like every show is taped now. That's true. It's true. But yeah, but you don't want to be the person who gets dunked on in like a Netflix special. Right. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. I was waiting to dunk on somebody. I was ready. Yeah. Something good. But yeah. But you, how long do you think it's going to clock in at? I'm going to say 53. It's a good time. Yeah. As long as I'm over 50, I'm happy. Yeah. I think that's the number. Yeah. Self-produced too. And you're going to sell it, right? That's right. That's the plan. That's the move. Hopefully. We'll see. The market is chained. I think Hulu threw that big wattage is out there and nobody. Oh, that's a good pick. That's all Sally, but the amount I'm in my head in that moment is unbelievable. Yeah. Yeah. You know, that feeling like we're taping tonight. Yeah. Yeah, we got three. Doesn't it help that you know you got three? Three is big. Three is almost like, I feel like two is fine at this point. Yeah. I've always overdone it. I did four last time and I was like, what am I doing? By the fourth, you're like, am I just punishing myself? I'm just like, I'm just putting off the celebration. Right. But then even at the celebration, you don't feel good because if you're a comic, because you're just like, I got to write another one of these. I know. It's hard to do it. Like, you did it. I'm like, I know, but the next one's, this is the easy part. When you're killing towards the end of taping an hour, you don't even feel like a real comic. You're like, I'm a fucking hack. I know this works. You know? Yeah, but you got to get it down. You got to get it down. You feel good. Right. You're like, it should hit. And then if one line that always hits stops hitting, you're like, that fucking line used to hit. Yeah. Of course. Well, I did three sets last night. I'm like, hey, I'm back out there. I need to work on new stuff. Bomb city. Oh, yeah. As you should. Yeah. But it sucks. It sucks. You're like, how did I run an hour? How did I do that? I just threw this shit on the table. You need something bad to happen. Something bad will happen. And then you're like, that's, there's a joke. All right. It's bad. It says to be like something, something, you know, interesting. Sure. Sure. All right. Well, yeah. Well, we got it and Boulder. I highly recommend Boulder is a college town. It's a regular town. It's pretty. How far from Denver? 45 minutes. We're here. See a land and get on a bus. I was going to say that they have a comedy club. But why would they have Denver? I know. They had a little comedy room in our hotel, actually. But really? Yeah. It was like in the basement. They had a little room. They do stuff. They got back from Saturday night. I'm drunk. And what's that guy's name? Oh, what was that guy with the long hair? Honor. Who? Oh, he was a comic. He was hanging out. Oh, I don't know. Oh, he's super funny. Long hair. Denver. One liner, guys. Kind of like the new headberg. Mm. Oh, give that a goog. I got to give this guy a shout out because he's really funny. Well, what's a Google? Denver one liner? Denver one liner. Long hair. Comedy. Who opened the shows? Caleb Sinon. Oh, yeah, he's good. Kill. That guy's ice in his veins. Yeah, I like that guy. So funny. The whole is one of those things where the crew was like, who is this guy? This guy's great. Yeah. How big the venue? I'll think of it. I think it was about 9.50. It's great. I mean, this all sounds perfect. It was perfect. It all locked in. So I had a gig the night before in San Jose. Because Shane Gillison, I had the same gig night in San Jose. So I moved mine because he's Shane. And it worked out. So I was supposed to do San Jose in July. They moved it to the night before the taping. Best thing ever. It all came into place. Yeah. Stars a lot. He'd move in a gig. I hate it too. There's some panic that I might, my agent was like, you might want to move Chicago theater because even if it sells out, you, uh, you would have to compete with the Cubs and the playoffs. I'm supposed to move the playoffs and they're like, fuck, I do have a dude audience. Yeah. You have to think about that shit. Oh, that's true. Yeah. But it's coming up, right? Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's scary. By this time this comes out, I guess it's the Sarah's, I guess it'll be, we'll see. It'll be in the, yeah, we'll see if I moved it. Sorry if I moved it guys. I don't, I don't want to. Yeah. I'm probably going to tough it out. Sometimes it helps to move it because then you get a little more time to sell. Yeah, but it's just fucking annoying. I haven't routed with Winnipeg. It's just see, everything was kind of there for a reason. Yeah, yeah. The routing. Mark had, uh, Bert going up against him at Red Rocks, which is just 25 minutes away. Yeah. And so it was there too. Yeah. And so it was there. And so it was at the club, I think. And Tony Hinchkov was shooting his special the same day and Theo Vaughn and the different city and Theo Vaughn was shooting here in New York, doesn't hurt you. Yeah. I'm just saying like a lot was going on that weekend. Yeah. Theo had his thing at the beach. And Milwaukee had a baseball ball. Just brings up everything. Yeah. The marathon was going on, but you feel like you got it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I feel really good about it, especially after seeing the Theo reports. But, uh, and I talked. Hopefully he's okay. He's okay. He's fine. Yeah. Um, and he's a funny guy. He'll figure it out. But, uh, yeah. You want to go? Hey, Netflix. This one went pretty well. Just saying. You were better by yours, man. I think they will see. We'll see. We'll see. Well, if not there, I mean, dude. You got options. Yeah. Well, I think you got fucking options, dude. Don't get hung up on the one hot girl at the bar. There's other. There's other. I got a, like a fat chick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're looking at all those guys and the numbers, I think, were below Netflix. And Netflix is like, oh, we, we feel even better now, ironically. Yeah. So. Yeah. Well, you always got YouTube. It's an option, too. That's true. And, like, it could blow up. YouTube is the old, you don't bring, uh, what do you, you don't diss the girl you brought to the dance or whatever. Yeah. Whatever that thing is. Is he Netflix stock? It's like, whoa. $1,193. Jesus. Per share. Yeah. Is that, is that really good? That's really good. Yeah. Really good. Considering, like, two years ago, it was like 200. But it's also way down. It looks like. Wow. That's because that black rabbit shows sticks. Is it bad? Oh. The dialogue is horrible. I like Bateman. Yeah. He's good. But I, I can, I don't get it. So it's a non-rec. That's a non-rec, baby. I got a wreck for you. Please. I think it's, you think you're going to have the same wreck. The movie? The movie. Yeah. One bad laugh to another. Seed and theaters, dude. I saw it, and I saw an IMAX and Rochester. It's one of those sad things where you're like, "My shows are sold out." And I went to like an 11 a.m. IMAX and this. They're like 15 people in there. No. I'm like, this is a good movie. I know. I know. IMAX. We saw 4D. Yeah. What's up, dude? Hey, no. It's all good. We're talking about have you seen one battle after another? No, the new movie. It's good. Is that what everyone's talking about right? I'm good. Thank you guys. It's a good one. Be a BL if you need one, I'm a good thank you. Hey your wife looks different Yeah, go see it. It's incredible. It's it's good to see a real movie in the theaters not just Avengers 12 But you know what's depressing is that they're like this is a non-marvel movie and it's it's got you know a real script and a real director And they're like how to do the box office 20 million is that right? Yeah, I think I mean globally did a little better But it's not like a huge it was number one, but it's not like a huge hit. Yeah. Yeah, but that happens man Give it a week. Let's give it a little time I think it's a one of those word-of-mouth movies though because it's probably gonna get some Oscar nominations Definitely are people is just causing any sort of like upper or are people like conflicting in opinions about this? No, I think people like it. It's just about you know, it's two hours and 42 minutes So people are kind of like I don't know and also But it's like non-stop action, dude. It's pretty crazy. It really it's really good It's just really a good movie. Yeah, it's just really cool and they do the right and the left Kind of though. They're both extremes like he's like a Volutionary then they show the right and they won't allow a racial marriage and all this shit So it's that if that's the right than we're in trouble There's like these guys is like a secret club of like underground people. We don't give it But they're like insanely racist. Yeah, it's funny. It's like over the top. Yeah, it's is a funny movie Sean Penn is fucking on he's gonna win the Oscar. Yeah, that's awesome. I didn't hear I never heard about this That's another that's another Oscar. He can melt down and give to the Ukrainians to try what he did That's what he did with his other one. He really what they said. Yeah, he also went to New Orleans on a canoe with a Shotgun during Katrina What was his plan there? I don't know. I think he's like I'm gonna shoot some some kids or something Everybody made fun of we're all New Orleans on the roof crying and we're like get out of here Penn. What are you doing? That's cruel. I guess he could rescue like three people. Yeah, I guess so there. There we go There you go. It's helping a whole black guy. There you go. That's nice You probably need a shotgun to navigate like for like animals and stuff, you know, I guess that's after you want to call them Good Lord, man. We're just in here. You don't even need a plane. Just go down there You take a few pictures and people like he's a good guy. That's true. You don't need didn't he fuck with the cartel too? Didn't he go down in the tunnels with what's his face? Did an interview with El Chapo that said getting El Chapo Found and arrested. I think he went to Venezuela too was kicking it with Hugo Chaffa. Oh, man. Yeah He's done a lot of he's done a lot of weird shit. That's crazy. Wow, and he couldn't keep that girl. What's her name? Robin right? Yeah, that's how hard women are you can make a deal with El Chapo, but your wife. He's like Yeah, I'm going to Ukraine again. That's true. It's just smelting an Oscar to yeah I wonder if anyone got killed by an Oscar boy. Oh Good question. Yeah, I wonder if you get nominated for I am Sam Don't go full retard. Yeah, well, maybe he has to to keep getting more Oscar to support the war effort. Yeah I'm gonna double down But it's a high record you love the two right? Yeah, it's amazing. Beneath of the tour of funny shit, too. I highly recommend Really good movie just we won't give away Sutton 4d have you done this yet? No, where you get like your legs take all this stuff? They split water on you with a jizz on your face like the the seats go up and down with the road Everything so when you start the car goes like Oh, it's so how'd you like it? I loved it. I thought it was gonna be a dumb gimmick, but it was added a lot. That's awesome So damn highly recommend so I saw the movie spotlight like that. I know Bad idea That's all always station. All right. Okay. Yeah, I saw I saw moonlight 4d. Oh really frank. We got during the scene that crank you off Sickle so okay, what all in so when's the special come out October 7th Yeah, how you yeah coming out October 7th a humble offering so yeah, it's a feeling you wrote man, you wrote that quick Dude I you know what what was the YouTube the YouTube was I like lose track of it now But I feel like I say it was two years. I feel like all right YouTube came out two years ago and then I just kind of just hit the road right away with like kind of nothing Honestly, it was kind of criminal, but the Kind of figured it out and then by you know the YouTube was just like all of my old stuff that I just wanted to get rid of There wasn't really a rhyme a reason to it and then this was the first time I got to actually like like oh you need like a Cohesive hour kind of and this kind of put it together, and then you know I was done with it congrats, man That's big. Yeah, you know, I'll be curious to see everyone saying that and I'm like well, we'll see you know I could fade into the ether, but I'll see you get that top 10. I think you're yeah, that's the big that's really to make it less special So too, I think it's like it's a good time to be yeah, well supposed to come out in January and they bumped it up So I was like that's cool. That's a good sign. Yeah, I was I was like that's that's promising, but there's good who shot that for you Tyler Falbo It's fantastic looking. Yeah, he did a fantastic job and ever yeah, they did an awesome job. Where'd you tape it? The Ontario improv. Oh, yeah, a lot of people trying to talk me out of that. Yeah, they were like you sure you want to do it there And I was like yeah, I'm positive. It's big, right? It's it's like 500 three. No, it's like 350 maybe really but it's like a it's the old improv kind of thing So it looks like it's not like the big cavernous improvs. It's like an old club It was and they really church it up. They did a good job. Yeah, it looks really set. It's fine. Killed it hell. Yeah, yeah, man It's you know, it's done. So how'd you like that editing process, huh? It's I actually saw what you're seeing there - I I cracked my head day the first day filming What a lot I did a out like a very long and drawn-out intro. That's all my POV and I didn't even like it was like you know Get like a camera guy who's like my body double doing it I there was one scene. I was like dude. Let me just do this one scene. They were like Do Tyler was like I never let actors where it was like you have to know how to use the gear Yeah, and I was like I was in bed with my wife and I'm like, bro I don't want like body double like I'm supposed to be like, you know, whatever and And I wore it for 10 minutes and then I like kicked my leg and the rig just cracked me and I had so they had to like From like CGI a cut off my head. What yeah kind of for the whole special like for the second I I filmed two nights So one night it was fine. I filmed the other night and it just I had like four lines The second night was a night the second night was the night was the night. I was on stage with like it was like a cut Just caked in makeup. Whoa, so I had to just kind of soldier through and then you know made Use of the movie magic. I didn't know we could see GI shit. You can see GI wound off the head. Whoa That's good to know damn. Yeah, but you know now people look for it The guy's actually crystal clear right here, but right right. Yeah, that was that was I had to like go It was like a it was kind of a pressure cooker moment man because I like You know everyone's like they're trying to like film my head to be like nah, it's good It's good and then they'd be like more darker makeup less makeup. Oh, well, and I had to tell him like yo Just let's let it rock man. We'll figure this out after the fact. Did you think about going hey? I did this like just bring it up I thought about it, but we would be able to take one without it Yeah, but then exactly and then it's like I feel like if I had taken off the makeup too much It would have been just like it was hard not just it was in the front of my head Oh, it was it was like a they had to put liquid bandage on it to get it stop bleeding damn So yeah, I like for real rocked myself. Yeah, shit, and it was for a sketch at the beginning of the special dance like totally unnecessary Way too and way too long like this for that thing everyone's gonna skip through to get to the fucking hour Yeah, it was a bit of a struggle because they were like we should shorten it and I was like now, man We got it. It's got it. It was like a minute and 40 oh my god But it's action packed it's action packed. Yeah, I think I think people are gonna like it No, I do I there's something about it like you see an old one like Gary Shanley and Joan Rivers are like shooting the shit And she's like nagging on me like this is kind of cool. I don't know. I'm a big intro. I like the intro Have you done an intro? I did an intro my last one. I did the drone shot of me running. I like an intro too. I'm with you Yeah, I did once it did a Barney green. Oh, that was a great one. Green grass. That was great. Central when I did where I I'm like eating a bagel and I pick up a good old lady in Barney green grass and I take her to banger and that's a Very important for special. Yeah, it worked though. It was fun. You get to feel like you know I didn't like even direct it or do anything, but you get to kind of feel like you're like yeah I'm like making a movie here. Yeah minute long thing of me like it was kind of cool And Ari would do that in those story telling things. We just do something like it is cool It is kind of it helps. So I got to ask you so I got about making shit the cartoon. Yeah, yeah Tell us about that because we're trying to do a puppet show and no one likes it So did I say you do that? And I was like it feels like it's cooking. It's getting some steam It was at first so the first two did pretty well and then the third one There was a lot of like blurred out cartoon penis in there Mmm, and I you know, I don't want to be a guy who has a low-view YouTube videos like you I'm being shadow banned Obviously, I I wondered if that kind of or you know people just genuinely were like no, we don't like this I can see the right wing like oh, we got to make everything game If you're doing different shicks, I remember you tell me about that animation was like a thing you're passionate about like I saw you in Austin You know I it's I like writing more I like writing so I it's like is it's for a book or whatever I just like to write an animation was like well, this is like a I thought it'd be a quick way to get ideas out there It takes animation takes forever. Yeah, it takes forever and you watch it so many times that by the end of it you're just kind of like Dude like I don't even like this anymore and then they see it and they're gone Awesome. Yeah, it looks really good. I mean that's what we want puppets because the animation took too long So and I co-wrote them with my friend Pedro Salinas So I got to give him a shout out because he this this one notary public for Lauderdale Was about a notary public who can't read but he can only smell documents And that was Pedro's idea, but that was like one of my favorite ones, so hell yeah But that was kind of my idea like let's throw him out there and see if we can come up with an idea that might be Developable, so did you think hey Netflix we got the special one might as well pick up the cartoon as well That was kind of my plan, but I don't think it's happening But no, I mean we'll see I don't know. I mean, do you ever see the original Rick and Morty like the pilot that kicked off Rick and Morty? I have seen the pilot Is it is it just the first episode or it's not even sorry. I shouldn't even say pilot it was like a sketch I kicked it off and it's it's like It's like the dumbest video. It's just the guy the old man trying to get the boy to like touch his balls And it's like it's just like a yeah, I think it's this thing. It's like a five-minute thing It's just him being like touch my balls Wow, and they bought it. They're like this is genius All right, man like we know I the commentary on these fucking videos kills me. Hey guys real quick. Just fucking play it Yeah, that show first few seasons that that was so funny and then it just out of nowhere It got kind of felt like it was like a whole new writing staff Didn't he got canceled or something the guy? Yeah, Harmon. I think they both did for like a minute Well Dan was I think he's back. Oh, okay This isn't it. It's like a it's this it was like a short it was based on a short that was just like Him getting the kid to do some lick my balls or something And it's like a poorly produced like for them and apparently that sold the idea. I guess yeah, it's a different time That adult swim who bought it. I believe. Thanks. Oh, they're in the weird shit. I mean, that's true And then South Park did so well to me, but they're like hey, let's ride the world ever once a new South Park honestly. Yeah, if like Yeah, it's like wait Looks poorly done It's something like this. Yeah, wow It's also crazy. It's just back to the future. Yeah exactly. All right. It's just like everything's got a thing It's it's doing. Yeah, literally wearing the outfit from back to the future. Yeah Yeah, he's like in order to go back in time. You have to lick my balls But yeah, man, you know, I've just been trying to do just like, you know different stuff because that for me That's the goal was like I'd like to just write honestly You seem like you seem like you want to make sure yeah, just make stuff and write. Yeah, I'd prefer that You're not a fan of the road and all that shit. I'd like it. I love it But it'd be nice to like have a scaled back version. You know what I mean if you just do like 12 cities Sure, that'd be nice rather than having to like do it constantly and beyond You got kids exactly. Yeah, but you must have done the road pretty hard to to gear up for this, right? Yeah, I was doing like It was like two to three weekends a month. Yeah, so and I did it I like a pretty long stretch of it, but nothing some people go out and do like for two weeks and they're I just do like two days and come back That's what I do. Yeah, it's kind of the move. Do you do you live in Austin? Do you do sit city sets? Yeah, wait what like in the city like in Austin? Do you go around or in the week? Yeah Not as much as I should, but I still I still pop out I've been like now that I have to come up with this new hour I just wait until like I absolutely have to do it and I start. Yeah, yeah, I gotta figure it out So now I've been I've been doing a lot more because now I'm like I'm still I'm gonna start touring again like pretty soon, so yeah You feel like you have a fresh amount of stuff sort of dude. Yeah, it's hard part. It's well What I what I always did I always just did like a What it worked for the this one is like when I put out that special while I was like getting ready to film And I started doing new material show, so I would do like a show where I'd be like I'll do an all new 10 minutes and you have other comics do 10 and then you do like five or six of those shows And you start to cobble together like at least something. Yeah, and then you take that on like a decent 45 on the road and figure it out Someone on those shows who's doing old shit. Oh always was one gum like I saw that shit unfalent. Yeah Yeah, a letterman And I always say look no, it's like a new-ish like do something you're working on Yeah, it is kind of the honor code because people will start murdering and you're like all right We talk with a little time back in the day at mics when you're doing it a bit Margot always say I can't tinker to Mike because yeah, you know like they've heard this joke But I'm just changing it slightly. I'm changing the word choice and I feel that way though Yeah, the comedy seller will do new joke night that will so Vince will host and it's it's a great show Yeah, but now everyone wants on it. So we started with like seven eight minutes sets now you get on it's like four minutes Yeah, that's enough to just do the new shit one thing. Yeah, but I like to try the new shit versus an old bit just to know Words yes. Yes. That's why like if I'm doing a road set. I'm like okay Let me just slide in one old and you're like fuck the old one killed and the new one's not that because it kills on a new joke show But that's against other new shit. Yeah, that's a good libous test though to be like all right. I'm getting a laugh But yeah, how does this because it is funny because you're like oh, this is working But then their expectations are kind of well because they're like oh, it's a new joke They hit him with something tried and true and they're like oh, yes exactly So I just taped my special this weekend and I went out yesterday with some new ideas Bomb fest Boy and you're like I suck. How did I write those dude? I've been bombing hard I've been going to the mothership. I'm like just put me in the little room and just let me just die on that stage But I've a starting to figure out then you know again It's it's like just enough to go to like clubs and I try to work on it there and you know, but it's the words You're pretty well known so you walk up and they're like hey here we go and they try to do it like we like you It's it all depends is like yeah, sometime when I first moved down there They'd be like you never know who's gonna pop up and the crowd would be like who the fuck is this guy? And then there'd be one guy be like oh Yeah, it would be a rough you make that dude's night dude. Yeah, night. I turn on them and make sure the fuck on you It is uh, no, it's hard man. It's hard to start But I feel like the comedy crowd is now close to podcast and stuff at least a lot of the comedy fans are like no This is part of the process. This is cool. Yeah, some people like watching new ball. No, like that was kind of yeah I've watched some of my favorite comics bomb and I'd be like I've never seen rock have rough sets. Oh, yeah, this is incredible Yeah, like no one so few people get to see this side of him, you know true because these will be great in like a week and a half Yeah, yeah, I for this I've like I had to really yeah, I just like get out there and be like all right I'm gonna kind of eat it for a little bit and then you know, yeah because you are like Although it's I think it's so much more fun man like trying to fake like going up and be like I have no idea If this is gonna work for me it like brings me back to like Early wrong. We were like oh shit I don't know if it's gonna work or not and like then you bomb me like fucking it myself Yeah, and I feel guilty like that guy paid a ticket and bought eight beers and I'm like up here like oh is this Uber's weird What did I do? I wasted my night on this guy the worst is when you do some old shit and they're like hey you working out of there, huh? And you're like no, that's like my A material yeah Yeah, it's nice someone. Yeah, I was taping Yeah, it's nice to see you work But no, it's fun though, man. That's how that you know, that's how this hour just came out of like I like recorded that earlier special on YouTube and I called Shane. I was like Dude should I like do clubs are just like wait. He's like, oh, let's go do him. Mm-hmm. Just go do who cares? And then like he's like that's what I'm doing like I'm like all right And I like scheduled all these days and three weeks later. He was like fuck dude. I don't know what the fuck Fuck I base mine over yours, man. Yeah, I saw but it kind of is to move just like you just rip it man I need it. I need to have like the pressure otherwise. I won't do it. Yeah. Yeah. I think we're doing some of those Those arenas with Shane in December. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm jumping on a few of those. That's they're so fun It's so fun. It's like drinking 20 minutes, you know, decent paycheck nice hotel fun city Yeah, the yeah the round two's crazy. I never I only ever did that. It's crazy selling that many tickets. That's because that's like two shows Yeah, it's easier than you think I thought the round would be like this like nightmare to do But I think it's easier than like when you do the straight-up arena where you're on a humongous stage just facing people I that like I you know that that's tough, but like when you're in the round for some reason I don't know why it feels easier because it's like you're just like you know here This is like you're in like seven comedy clubs at once You're able to be like I'm in this one. I'm in this one. I feel awkward rotating that weird like I've been this way too long Yeah, you know, none of us are like mover comics Yeah, we'll kind of like in the pocket just like chilling, you know Yeah, I kind of wait till I get a laugh and then I turn around Because yeah, otherwise you turn into like you're like a minute hand on a clock. Yeah, let me give this punchline to the northwest over here We rotate I want to face mecca for this one Yeah But then I'm like a guys behind me. I don't know. I feel weird. They got the screens and like you know, it's it is crazy Like I did I did Grand Rapids with him and it was like 18,000 people is like this is insane Yeah, there's this many like there's not that many more people in the city. I dude Yeah, no, it like for real like messes up The city itself like there'll be it'll be like traffic and stuff because of it. It's pretty. It's pretty cool Yeah, that's right. I did one. I think I told you this what I did with Reggie Conquest, you know him And he was so nervous in the green room. He's like, oh god. I'm freaking out. I've never done a arena We're like you're gonna be fine. You got good jokes. Just tell the jokes He goes up and he goes hey good to be here. I'm from Philly Boo Then like eight seconds his biggest fear is happening and then he goes what the fuck guys so is Shane Boo So he's too booz deep like he's like so I'm black. They're like boo Yeah, bombing and those things does feel like It's hard even because you can't even like in a club. You're pretty like you can literally feel laughs and not in a in arena, you're just like, you're just drowning. You're like, 'cause you'll hear technically there are thousands of people laughing. - Right. - You're like, it's not enough. - Right, that's the truth. - This is a bomb. It is crazy to have done a bunch with Sandler, and I go up and I get no pop at all, and then I'm like, I'll bring up like Kevin Neillin or someone they're like, "Oh my God." Like any SNL guy from that era, Tim Meadows, they go fucking ape shit. - Oh yeah. - And it's like, yeah, they grew up watching these guys. - Yeah. - They were in the same world. - It's a different thing. I didn't even know about the pop for a long time. I was living in innocence. Then yeah, you do some shows and you're like, "Oh wow, that's, yeah, you get your social worth score." Just kind of, right there is it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you can't think too much about it. - No. - To people get a little, it's a thing. People get, yeah, it'll be fine. - Yeah, we're about the pops. Was it the big pops? - Yeah. - Oh yeah. - Fundress. - I saw that, I was at a long time ago. Was that Drake and Future did a concert together? I don't know if they're still buddies. They might have had a falling out. And nobody likes, people didn't like Future. - Really? - And that was like, 'cause they didn't like, really clap for them that much. And then Drake came out and everyone was like, "Ah!" And I was like, "Oh, I could see that causing a little." - Yeah. - Sure. - Maybe that's not buddies anymore because of it. - What the hell's Future saying? What's his tune? I don't know him. - Is he the one that banged Larsa Pippen? - Yeah. - Oh! - All right, that gets a pop from me. - That's such a boom away to know him.

Oh, no. - Damn. - That seems like too hard to accomplish. - Yeah. - I don't think it's getting the mom in there, too, is a tough one. - Yes, but she looks damn good. - The game says she slept with most of the Kardashians. - Oh, my bad. - Okay. - And the visual. - Yeah, we can get the people. - Yeah. - There it is. - Okay. - Which one is that?

(laughing) I had a fantasy about that a lot of just being in some sort of, like, you know, like, work situation or something where, like, you have to take your shirt off and they're just like, holy fuck, that guy's been shot. (laughing) - Yeah, I'm like, all the bulls holes and you'd put, like, spider webs on him or something. (laughing) - Okay, right. Just walking my dogs back. That'd be so fucking cool. - Oh, yeah. - I think I could survive nine punches, though. (laughing) - No bulls is insane. You know a lucky war that didn't hit that dude. - Yeah, that's true. - But he was also, like, a fucking, I mean, he's huge.

I brought, I have two dogs, and I brought them to, like a little, you know, it's like a field of it. It's like kind of like an impromptu dog park thing. And I, like my one dog is like losing his vision. And like, I watch him walk into stuff in my house. Like, he's going blind. I can verify, you know, it's like, I verified this to my own experience. Sitting there at the dog park, I'm like, he's walking along, he walks towards this guy. And I'm like, oh, you know, he's blind, carefully might walk into you, the guy goes, it's looking blind at me. (laughing) He's getting around pretty good. I'm like, well, I watch him walk into stuff all the time. And he's like, well, how'd that happen? I was like, you know, I don't know, man. I know like, one time he ate like 14 chocolate cupcakes. He was like my one daughter's birthday, and he just crushed a bunch of chocolate cupcakes. And I was like, I asked the vet, and the vet said it's not even about the chocolate, but the sugar from all of that can do like some sort of diabetic thing, and maybe that messed up his vision. The guy goes, I got diabetes, doesn't work that way. (laughing) And I had to just be like, all right, man, I'm leaving. Like I'm not gonna sit here and argue. My dog is fucked up, I'm with him every day, and your kind of sending doctors pretty fucking annoying. He wasn't even a doctor. Oh, yeah. This guy was just a guy. He was just like, he had diabetes apparently. I thought he was there for some reason. No, he was just kind of like-- That's crazy. That's crazy. Just been a gate guy, just negating everything. Doesn't look blind at me. It's like, that's even worse. I just watched him walk into a concrete picnic table, dude. Like he's definitely blind. Yeah, fuck. Does he get fucked up like it hit his nose?
