Ep 261: Sam Morril and Mark Normand

The comedian recounts a chaotic and deeply personal night of stand-up performances, blending absurd anecdotes with reflections on failure and resilience. A key moment involves a disastrous baseball-themed dinner gig where initial jokes land well, but the performance spirals into awkward silence after a controversial dreamy joke about a "dick" that draws a gasp from an audience member. The story is interwoven with humorous incidents—like being kicked out of a bar by Mickey Mantle, or a friend joking about a "three some" in Utah—highlighting both the unpredictability of live comedy and the physical toll of touring. He also details the absurdity of long sets, miscommunication at restaurants, and awkward social moments, such as being mistaken for a slow eater or accidentally offending a guest with a crude joke. The narrative underscores how performance success is not just about material but also audience chemistry, self-awareness, and personal boundaries. Despite public failure, the comedian remains resilient, using humor to process disappointment and navigate personal and professional missteps. The experience culminates in a candid reflection on the risks of comedy, the importance of audience connection, and the enduring need for self-compassion in the face of public failure.

(upbeat music) - Did he really just butt plugs? - I'm getting a lot of butt plugs off of my algo. - Yeah. - No, no, no, no. - Like, people inserting them on the subway. - What? - Yeah, yeah, it's really weird. - Butt plugs? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Who's inserting a butt plug on the subway? - My ladies. - You tell us. - It's on the two train. (laughing) - All right, all right. And we're off to the races, guys. - Good to be back. A solo app, which I'm kind of pumped for, dude. - It's about time we got a lot to talk about. - It's been a minute. I mean, not really. We talked, but that's true. But I was scared. - Then what's going on with these? - You were in Utah, we did a next game, you bombed at a Mr. Baseball. - Oh, that hurt, dude. That was, you have ever those cartoon bombs where you just start sweating. It's insane. It's like your body's having a reaction. - Yeah. - It was awful. It was, I felt bad. - Your body's going through fight or flight. You don't even realize it, you know? You get the back sweat, your mouth gets dry. You kind of start stammering. - But you walk in, oh, yeah, there we go. With Donnie Baseball himself Don Mattingley. Just posted, yeah, sometimes you, bomb and funneling one of your heroes. That's part of, you don't think about that when you get into this. You're like, it's gonna work out. You don't think like someday a guy who got me into Baseball will see me fail at what I love. - Damn, I don't know. - Well, he never won a ring, so. - Uh-huh. - You saw him fail too. It was a great, it's not his fault, he was a great player. I love Donnie Baseball. - Did he pat you on the butt after? Like, ooh, good. - No, he was, I think he was nice 'cause he was fairly felt horrible for me. You know what happened was some basically doing stand-up at this goal glove recipient's dinner. It's a really nice gig. It's at the Plaza Hotel, which I don't think I've ever been inside. - Wow. - A lifelong New Yorker, and I was like, I don't think I've been inside here. It's gorgeous. It's one of those gigs where they're being like, it's gonna be great. They say it so many times, you're like, oh, I'm gonna bomb. - Oh, yeah. - When they start saying how great it is, and then they let slip that another guy had done the gig and done so poorly that he didn't get paid. - Right. - He had to give the money back. So he did so bad, so this is the first thing I hear. Then they say another legend, who I'm not gonna say either of their names, I'll tell you off there. - Daryl Strauber. (laughing) - No, he still got paid. No, but they have another guy who they said, basically got chased off stage. It was like a whole thing. - Whoa. - I'm hearing this is great. So far, I've heard two tough stories here. - Yeah. - But the guy running it was soup. They were all so nice. And they're all giving all these gifts. It's Rawlings. - Wow. - All these nice, like here's a leather bag from the material that we make our gloves from. And I was like, damn, I play with a Rawlings glove as a kid. - Yeah. - And I walk in and I'm like, you know, I'm like, Dave Winfield, legend, and all these great Johnny Bench, who's like, is there, we've got some awards. Dude, best Johnny Bench store and I've heard of this story. Great baseball player. Mickey Manel goes up to him at this thing, goes, hey, let's go across the street and have a drink at the Marriott. And Johnny Bench is like, my hero Mickey Manel wants to drink with me. Oh my God. So he takes him across the street and as they try to walk in the bouncer goes, I can't let you back in, Mickey. - Oh, that's great. - He was using him too. He was using him as trying to get back in the bar. - 'Cause he got kicked out. - He got kicked out. - Oh, that's hilarious. - So I'm at this event. - You have to go, you're out of here. (laughing) - So I'm at this event and it's like, you know, it's the plaza, it's super nice. - Sure. - I even wrote a bunch of baseball jokes. I was like, I'm gonna write jokes. I'm gonna come prepared. I wrote like a good eight minutes or so baseball. - Wow. - When you give us anyone, best one, worst one, anyone. - I'll give you a few. Yeah, I open this hit. I opened by saying, this is the goal glove dinner. We award the people with the nastiest hands and fortunately Andrew Cuomo can be here tonight. - Hey. - Yeah. - Then I said, I had a bunch, I had a bunch that did well. I said, the Los Angeles Dodgers, congrats to the Dodgers. You guys won the World Series, wasn't an inspiring story. The team with the most money won. It's like a metaphor for America. If you're rich, you'll be all right. Unfortunately, the rest of us are kind of like the Colorado Rockies, high and not doing well. - Hey. - That got a big pile. I had to feel like it was, yeah, I wrote these all the day although I was like, I'm feeling good. I had one about Clayton Kershaw having like a fat gut and still striking dude. I'm like, you're getting fan by a guy who looks like fucking Paul Jiamati without his shirt on. I don't, they're all killing. I'm like, I'm really, I look in the crowd. I see Bob Kastis, like toasting a glass. I'm like, holy shit, broadcasting legend. Bob Kastis, love Kastis. - The Greek. - And I'm like, I'm killing. I'm gonna fucking kill. And by the way, it was a weird setup. I'm going on right after some like rocket dancers in Joe Piscopo. - Oh my God. - And Piscopo could not have been cooler. Super nice. - Wow. - Yeah, SNL, Joe Piscop of the '80s. - This is like a fever dream. - It's crazy. So yeah, I'm doing a bunch of baseball jokes. They all are hitting. I do a bunch of jokes about, I can't remember a bunch of the rest of them, but they were all kind of hitting. I was like, well, I'm kind of locked in. This is pretty good. And then it gets to a point where I'm like, well I'm out of baseball jokes. I guess I kind of just have to do my act. - But you think you'd buy some good will with these, you wrote jokes for the event. They're hitting, these should be in the zone. - They're hitting and dude, holy shit. I don't know how I lost them that hard. - I did. I'm like, what are my jokes that hit the hardest? I'm thinking like specials and I'm like, anything off limits or like nothing. I did a dick joke and I just heard a woman go, (gasps) - No. - I was like, that's not the sound I was going for. - Oh, that's what you want to hear when you whip it out. - Yeah. (laughs) - No, 'cause it was an ugh of disgust. - Oh, that's not good. - It wasn't good. (laughs) - Dude, it was terrible. So I go from killing to just silence. And it's one of those weird gigs where I'm like, this is like a Gallaudinor with awards. They don't want to hear a comic for more than 10 minutes. So if it was just 10 minutes, I would have crushed. - That's true. - But they're like, you had to do 30. They did not want to hear me do 30. - They never went 30. - It was bad, dude. And I had an agent there and she tried to leave. I go, where do you think you're going? - Ah! - I was like, you're watching me get drunk. (laughs) I'm not doing this alone. So we started ordering rounds. I'm like, keep 'em coming. - Oh yeah. - And it was one of those tough things where like, they were, I think, disappointed with how I went, but they also were like, what, he didn't, he did his act. - Whoa. - I didn't do his act. - The joke, a lot of the jokes hit. I think they were just shocked. It went so south. - Yeah, you're the new Trevor Bauer. (laughs) - It's been disgraced. You kicked out of the league. Oh, wow. - That sucks. - Brought to you by the same people to talk like this. This is George Brett talking about shitting his pants. Have you ever seen this? - Let's see. - Yeah, but I don't think the players were the problem. I think it's like the players. Why? - Of course, of course. - That was the issue. - He'll, I had to go about to him. So back in the car, I'm going to travel. Who's got magas, shit. - George Brett was a man, dude. - That was a man. - I wouldn't do that. - If you're gonna get caught on a hot mic, this is what you want. You know, I could have had a slur in there or something. - I'm good twice a year for that. - Dude, so anyway. - I was lost in the shit you had. - I'm at the seller and Keith Robinson walks up to me and he goes, I heard you bomb this dinner. I said, oh, what happened? He goes, a friend of mine called me and she goes, do you know Sam Morale? And Keith goes, yeah. And she goes, read the fucking room. - Do you remember where you lost him? - And Keith was dying last year. - Oh, that's great. - No, it was a few, 'cause I was a little up and down for a while and then I just kind of lost him. Like I kind of bridged in a standup. I did that rain delay baseball joke and that killed. - Okay. - And I kind of had a few good jokes in there. I had a few others that just hit and then it just kind of fizzled out. But it's a-- - Well, you know what, read the room. Let me defend a friend here. Read the booking sheet, like look at his website. Look at a bit of his, you know? Like you can't just book all these people and then go, oh, it wasn't exactly perfectly curated to my standards. - Well, 30 minutes is too long. - I agree. - At that type of thing, picture any award show you watched. If you're watching the Oscars, they're not doing 30. - Yeah, of course. - They're doing like five or that's what it should be. - And they hit the wrap up music, you know? 'Cause they know everybody's like, keep it moving. - Yeah. - Yeah, I did a gig, I don't want to say it was a Jewish gig. And I don't want to say, but you just told us-- - Well, it was more than that, but I was the only non Jew there by a mile. - Okay. - I saw one black guy, we did this, you know? - He's like, why is he pointing at me? (laughing) - And, oh, there you go. - The thing about the red hat that drove into a point of exhaustion, which was misdiagnosed by a, I'm not going to say what race, what people, uh, doctor. - Shhh. - And what hospital, and what media went to. We know I can't say that. It was a Jewish doctor. (laughing) - That was the black guy I pointed to. - And by the way, that was more restraint than we were used to seeing. - Yeah. - We took him 22 seconds to say the-- - Yeah. - The Jew thing. - He cleaned it up. - Yeah, it took him a while to blame us. (laughing) - So of course, I went too hard out of the gate. And the only non-Jew there, I'm the goi. And we were up on this high thing, doing a show, I go, boy, we're so high up. I feel like Ann Frank. You know, and they're like, boom. And I go, come on, I took a train here. You know, and they like, fuck you. And then I do my act, they hate me, they hate me. And one point, I have a Muslim bit that I'm this bit hits. So I'm like, I want to do the Muslim bit in the Jew room. This is going to crush. And the joke started working. And then the mic went out, it went, and then it came back on. And I went, oh man, how ironic. The Muslim joke didn't work here. You guys really do run shit. A pause break. - Wow. - And then I went back to bombing. - It is funny when you get 'em first, and it's like complete pander. - I know. - It's like complete, and it's like, I've done it. Yeah, I was doing it. I did it all the she you have to do. Like, around a pause, just guys here, Zingam, like whatever, I got a couple of those off, but then it was like, oh man. - 30 minutes is crazy. You know, that's like fighting like a pro fighter. You're like, if I last seven minutes, this is great. - Yeah, no, I was like, it was one of those that we were like, you're a little shaken after you're like, that's rough. They make a great Manhattan at the plaza though. - No, I had a few of them. - I was down in them, yeah. And then the agent and I, we ended up at a bar. She's just watching me get shit face. - Yeah. - And Met Ruby and Scott Rogowski hit the town late night. - All right, good. - Met Ruby and his fedora, we just got led. I was like, I just need to get, it's one of those gigs. Sometimes you're like, you bomb and you're like, alcohol will help. - Yeah. - It is a good short term solution. - Yes. - Like, look, if I did that every night, you're not gonna bomb every night, but you have a hard bomb, you get led up. Sometimes you're like, thank God for alcohol. - I know, I know, that's why these sober people, I'm so impressed, like you go through something and you just have to raw dog it. - Yeah. - That's impressive. - You have to feel pain. - Yeah, like, I was at Skankfest and the best way to get through Skankfest is I just drink the whole time. You know, you wake up, you have a bloody Mary, then you just keep going and then buy six. You're like, whoa, then you have to do a set. - I was that set. - It was a little walkie, but much like the baseball thing. - That's great, Peggy. - You can see my the bloated face. That's me doing a white power. - Yeah, you look pretty defeated here. - Oh yeah, I'm hurting. But you got a socialism, Greg, for Simmons. I don't know who that guy is. I think it's Bart Coleman. He used to book at midnight. Back in the old one. - He used to book, was it Ferguson or? - Yeah, one of those, one of those. But oh yeah. - That's a good peg. - He did it sober the whole way. And it's very impressive. - That's his life. - And it's Rachel in the back on the left. But yeah, it was a wild time, but I drank the whole time and I'm still hurry. It was two days ago and I can still feel it. Like I'm still not there. - I hate that. - And also the travel dude, we're getting older like, and I'm in Utah weekend. You have a few drinks. I had one, so I had five shows. I feel like you do a five show club weekend. One will be bad. - Of course. - Usually, like four. - We're good. The Saturday Late Show sucked. They just sucked. - They drank it. - I feel like the Saturday Late Show has swapped with the Friday Late Show. You should be the Friday Late Show is a bad one. Now it's like, no, they were fucking dumb. - Yeah. - I was just like, wow, they were really, I veto hate in them. I was like, I could tell them like, fuck, they're not. They're not giving it up. - Damn. - When they're not getting the dry guy. - Yeah. - Like shit. All right. But yeah, just immediately went back to my hotel started just pounding fucking martinis. Let me just get lit up. - At the hotel bar. - Yeah. - Nice. - Made Vita sit there. He doesn't drink. I'm like, get a shrimp cocktail. He's like, all right. - Yeah. Well, this goes right into my peeve. - Yeah. - This is my fucking peeve is, everybody goes, you know, it's the last line of skankfills or whatever you're doing. Everybody goes, what time's your flight? What time's your flight? And my flight was at 11 or something. - So everybody goes, I think you can go hard. - Yeah, they go, that's not bad, that's not bad. I hate that, that is bad. Because you got to get there at 10, which means you got to leave at nine and I've been drinking till four. So 9 a.m. isn't late. You know, they go, well, 11, that's not bad. No, no, no, nine at night isn't bad. 11 still sucks, 'cause it's still morning. - I got another peeve for you for a morning peeve. At my hotel, they do like a brunch thing and they have a little, I guess on Sundays, it's a buffet. For the other days, it was just regular. But for Sundays, a live band at a brunch annoys this shit. - Oh, I'm with you. - It's too early. - I'm with you. - You want to take it even worse? Jazz band, which I'm fine with. I love jazz normally, if it's a little later. Jazz band with drums. - Oh. - No drums at breakfast. - We're all drinking. - I'm hungover. - Yes. - I don't want to hear a fucking beat. - Yeah, I'm running. - Yeah, get out of here, I don't need buddy rich. He's in my head already, that's pounding. - Dude, I was hurting, yeah, it just sucked. That's a peeve, for sure. - Yeah, that's a good one. And we have a thing in New Orleans, this jazz run. It's the ultimate jazz run should commander's palace, but they walk around and it's a guy with a stand-up base and a clarinet and that's it. - So also, if you're known for it, I feel like it could work, you know what you're walking into, but I didn't know what I was walking into. - That sucks. - And you can walk anywhere in Salt Lake City. That downtown is fucking poor. - Oh, meth sits walking dead over there. - Dude, it is bad, it's sad. - It is, it's wild. - You never hear any politicians being like, I'm gonna run on really helping these people. They're just like forgotten. - Yeah. - They don't want the poor, they talk about, but like, what about that person who's fucking, what's the plan for this? We just let these pharmaceutical companies and these sacklers would ever ruin the country. It's crazy. - I know, and they're all out there. - That's a human, it's fucking awful. - It's crazy, they're all that one area by the club. - And they were by the, you don't, you wanna do a lot, I'm a walker. I like to stay downtown wherever I go. I like to just take walks and we walked a few blocks and we were like, we shouldn't walk. - Damn. - It's bad. - That sucks. - Yeah, man. - I would go to bring 'em young and just walk around. - That doesn't look right either. - Bring 'em young. - Yeah, that's what you say to your show. - Bring 'em young. - Exactly. But yeah, that's a beautiful campus. But you realize how serious the Mormon shit is when you go to Utah, you're like, "Oh wow, you guys take this seriously." - Or they're like the biggest alcoholic you've ever met. - Yes. - There's no middle ground, they're either deeply religious or they're so rebelling against it. - Yeah, I had my first threesome in Utah 'cause they're just like, it's like you said, it's either Cubscout or porn stuff. - Wait, you say first threesome, you had multiple threesome's? - Sure. - I bet you said multiple threesome's in Utah. (laughing) - How many threesome's are we talking? - Three. - That's pretty good. - Yeah. - The challenge was wild. - Yeah. - But Utah, what happened there? - I was. - How old were you? - This is 2013. - Damn, young comic. - Yeah. - Yeah, a pretty good set. - Plain wise, guys. - Doing the meet and greet. And just meet and greet. That's how it happened. - She was an older broad, real, real saggy catchers mitt. She'd seen a few winters and I said, she goes, "Hey, we loved you. "I'm here with my friend." And I did a photo and I go, "Hey, we should go out." And they were like, "Sure, let's go out." And we went out and then-- - So you disappointed a catcher's mitt too? (laughing) - So Johnny Bench. - Their name was Rawling. (laughing) No, yeah, we went back to our hotel. Yeah, that was it. But they were up there. I'm talking. - How old? - I'm talking each, I was what? 31 or something and they were probably 48? - That's not bad. - Yeah, I'm not complaining. It was a great age. It's not like cool 'cause it's more like crazy. - Yeah, and I finished in seven seconds 'cause I got two grandma's here. And I'm killing these grandma's like Cuomo. And. - Cold and cold. What about the golden girl? (laughing) So I finished in six seconds but then they go out each other and you can just sit there and go like-- - And they were friends? - Yeah, I mean, there's a Utah horse. - Can you imagine like no dudes, whatever? (laughing) - We're double-deeming a chick, we make her a comment. I'm like, dude, we should, we should fun. We should fun each other. - That's great. (laughing) Write that down. That's cold. - It's something in the last episode, Jim. I gotta get from you. We'll figure it out. We'll find it later. - All right, yeah, but yeah, wild night. - Yeah, God damn, dude. - Yeah. - Three some in Utah. I got in a little trouble 'cause there was a woman who I did hook up with once there and I told a story about her tongue in my old pooper. On a Jim Norton's pod and she was like, "People from work sent me that." And I was like, "What did name you?" That was just a coincidence. - You're like, you're like, "That wasn't about you." (laughing) That was a different booper liquor. - Yeah, the old tongue in the butt. - Was that Utah? - Yeah. - Oh, that's funny 'cause they can't drink coffee, but they'll eat us. What are we doing here? I guess it's not in the book, or whatever. - I thought they were talking about it. If you're trying to get a guy jump started again. - Around two. - You're like, "Wow, boing, right up there, holy shit." - And ironically, it tastes like a nineful. (laughing) But yeah. - God damn. - Tung in the poop. - Yeah. - You never done a three? - I don't think I have. - Woo! - No. - I'm like, Caitlin Clark. (laughing) A lot of the three, I'm gonna avoid a three time, but it's just asking. It's just like throwing it out there. - Right, I should be doing that. This is kind of the last phase of my life. I could probably pull that off. - Yeah, that's true. - You better do it. - Gotta make it happen. - This is it. - This is Sammy's three some year. - Yeah. - Maybe next year. It's almost the end of the year. - That's true. - This next starting now, 12 months. - 12 months, we'll do it. - 12 months for a three some. - We should get a counter. Like a big like how many days till an injury or whatever. - I like it. - Let's do it. - Let's do it. - I think it pulled off. - Boy, the day you come in, you gotta buy some poppers and sparklers and confetti. 'Cause when that thing flips, we're gonna go apeshit. - Yeah, dude, I think it could happen. Well, right in the girls' hot. - Believe in me? - Yeah. - Yeah, just start throwing out the world. - Patreon, Patreon. Yeah, put it out in the world, it'll happen. - How do we think of Jim Jeffery's bit about how we get the three some and the hot one left and the other ones like, I'll still do it. And he goes, you were kind of part of a pack of you. (laughing) - A pack of deal. That's a good name for a gay bar. A pack of deal. Wow, Jim's got, I would have done it. I mean, she's there. - I know. - How bad are we talking? Is the question. - I guess that's the question. - Yeah. - Yeah, it is tough. I mean, like, I don't know. The road to, I'm at the age now where I'm like, do I want, I value sleep. - Sure, sure. - Like, I'm thinking Gary's gonna want to get breakfast in the morning and I'm like, how shitty do I want to feel? - Yeah. - Right, and now you gotta get rid of two ladies. (laughing) That's a lot of work. It is it's tough man, but then sometimes you just go fuck it got to do it for the like when we got hammered on you left on Wednesday with me I got fucking Bombed. Oh, yeah, we were both already pretty drunk and I was hung over that morning, so I don't know how you did it I was dying. Yeah, we were lit up at the next game. They got crushed and Yeah, yeah, we ended up at that stand holiday party. Yeah, free booze Those holiday parties are tricky because you find you find a cool corner Sometimes you get cornered by people you're like, I don't want to fucking hang this person And you know what the worst thing is another peeve this happened at Skankfest, too When you're trying to be nice and you're chit-chatting with a rando that you don't really want to be talking to and you got a fun guy right here And you're like, how do I just get and then they start doing this when they go oh by the way I uh I run this show out of a sewage plant in Pekipsi and you're like, oh, yeah, is that right?

Yeah, because we're all just screaming the whole do you give a lot of comics in the flight back? Yeah, we were actually talking about this the airport was just riddled with comedians and everyone's hung over everyone's miserable And you realize like everyone no one wants to talk to each other at the fest We're all high five and cuz some of these people your friends with some of your people are like, oh, we're just both comics We we're acquaintances so when you see an acquaintance in the airport after a festival. It's so awkward Yeah, and then I realized how awkward would that Epstein flight be on the way home? Oh, that's a good bit You know I got the the private jets gotta be like hey, what's up Hawking? Yeah, yeah that post nut. Yeah Right out of the breakfast was good Dude Yeah, remember when we were in that airport in Orlando and I was just puking into the Bathroom, yes, Mark's just Mark saw me puking and he and he He brings in a bottle of ginger ale that he just hands over the stall I've been there been the puking ginger ale does help yeah. Yeah, I was at the airport with burnt creature This is 2015 or something. I went on a European tour with bird. That was the most ambitious thing you've ever done It was insane. I don't know how you did that I I'm surprised I'm alive. I think I lost like two years of my life on that tour Cuz the problem is Bert drinks at the airport cuz he's scared of flying. That's why he's a bus guy So I have to drink with him because I'm the opener so you That's the funniest reason to drink is cuz you're scared of dying Yeah, I guess so we got a bucket hammered cuz I'm scared. I might die. Yeah This is not helping. Oh, no, there was one point. I went to pee. We're on the flight He was in first class. I was in the back and I had to go pass him and he had like six beer empty beer cans on his tray and he was just like I was like wow this guy's Either having DT's or really scared of flying or both it is so fun to drink on flights though That's the problem. Yeah, it's fun to just throw on a movie and just have a fucking few beers. Oh, it's nice It's like it's hard to beat that. It's great. It's great and just flying with him is fun cuz he shirtless Yeah, TSA is quick for him. They're like oh, yeah, yeah, dude I I flew back. I'm watching you ever see that here's a wreck by the way Have you seen the movie Nipper Asuka by Alexander Payne? You know what I flip by it all the time and I've never watched it phenomenal Really you not like it. It's incredible Wow, okay. I'll watch it. It's it's black and white. It's weird. It's Bruce Dern Will Forte he's great. He's great. He's always good. I love him. Yeah, broober dude. It's so fucking good It's like weird and funny and then also kind of like sad Didn't win something. I think you won best actor for this didn't I think it's great man. I love the all right I'll check it out. I've always wanted to when you see the cover and it looks so it looks kind of heavy like somebody probably dies Immediately, I just couldn't do it. I would say it's pretty funny. Okay, great. I laughed a lot. It's a lot of weird Dialogue and hilarious. He won it can and he was nominated for an Academy work. Dude. It's it's awesome I loved I Alexander Payne is a fucking beast. He's so election is under underrated, I think sideways. Yeah, of course fucking I like the descendants with Cloney. I like the over a cheat. No overlords. What's it holdover? Holdover? I loved it Love the whole over. Oh, he did about Schmidt. I didn't even know that I haven't seen that Yeah, it's pretty good. Well, they could Kathy baits. Yeah, now we're talking. Yeah, that was one of the women Mark Fox and that He's he's a great filmmaker dude. It's like kind of underappreciated, you know, I agreed. Yeah, I love Jesus Christ almighty holy shit Good galley. Well good for her for going for that's brave. Everybody's like oh brave. That's fucking brave. She's fuck she's awesome She's the best. She's a great actor. One of the best. All right. Well now I'm in misery Now good good for you Kathy I got do you any peeps? Oh? I had to have the flight one. Hold on. I got a packet of pee but you you go. I got a peeve Really slow eaters. Oh Really I find it really annoying interesting. I have a guy on the road slow eaters, so we were always waiting I'm a fast eater too, so I'm a worst person. I just fucking inhaled shit. Yeah, but uh, yeah I'm with I'm with my buddy. He probably knows I'm talking about I love you Brian. He's the slowest fucking eater in the world. I mean So Gary and I are eating he's and we wore first stuff down It takes him longer to get his food because he ordered some weird vegan shit. Oh boy So we're ready like he had to go off another menu or something at the hotel Yeah, he gets it and then we're we've been done for 10 minutes. He gets his food just like Literally like what are we filming a scene here? Right? You don't need to keep it on the plate. Let's fucking go Yeah, we're losing it. We're like I'm out of eat it. I know because you know You only have someone to eat hours in the day on the road like you want to like get the riding done? Maybe hit the gym walk around. You want to stay on schedule? You want it? You want it? I like I like a good As much as I don't like a slow thing. I love it like a I love a scheduled day. Yeah, I love to be like well meet here at three It's like perfect. Yes, I always want to accomplish more in the road like we were like let's see begonia Stovs and we got right right and then we didn't we were like the day got away the movie's tough because you know That's gonna be with travel. That's a full three hours easy easy. So and fucking The trailers and everything yeah Minimum, yeah, but then you see feel like you got to get there somewhat early just in case you don't want to miss the Beginning, yeah, what's a good thing about reserve seating? You can skip those 25 minutes and just show up to your seat. That's true Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I guess it's not I guess we're making a bigger problem than I actually is but no I'm with his slow eat. I have a guy on the road. He does a slow eating and it's It's bad for me because you'll have half his meal left and I go I guess you're about done here And I started reaching for it because I like a good leftover and he's like whoa Whoa, I'm eating this and then he doesn't think where there's like a couple bites left and the waitress is like Oh, this is clearly let me take that he's like no, no, no, I'm working on this you're like working on it There's like two peas and a crust. I'm also that term annoys me still work at working you're eating you're not working Yeah, that's true still working on this it's an annoying term. Yeah, yeah brutal So I'm with you on that one of similar ballpark. Yeah, I got a lot of Chipotle peeps I went to a Chipotle again. You're like the Chipotle King. I love Chipotle, but I Hispive you go in and they try to they're so Autopilot that they're like they think they can predict your order and I'm like whoa, oh, like I'll go Let's see. I'll do the end she goes. Oh, yeah, you want sour and I'm like no, I don't want sour and so she's like Oh, I thought you wanted sour and I'm like I never said sour she put the sour on So now we got to make a new bowl and she's like a chicken. I'm like, no, I want beef stop predicting But they just want to like get it moving so yeah, that was a piece that's insane. That's that's that's an insane thing to do Just decide what you are getting exactly cuz I think 99% of people get sour cream. So they're just like oh Oh, I got sour cream either cuz they fucking they pile it. Oh, it's always too much You want a little it's too much so I just I I wish they treat the chicken like the sour, you know I always go double chicken, baby. You got it. Get extra chicken in there Yeah, so that was one and how about this guy? The guy who reaches over the glass? You know like already a germ fucking cesspool exactly and I'm not the biggest germaphobe It's just fucking ass. Yeah, I got a glass for a reason. I want to put the pico Give me the lettuce and you're like they know what lettuce is you can just say lettuce like pointing to lettuce isn't like Oh now I get it, you know, so that's annoying this guy who doesn't think they speak English I guess so yeah, but I think they've been there long enough to know lettuce and whatever peppers I got one to tag on yours if that's okay Yeah, yeah, yeah, you ever like order a burger and then it comes with mayo and you're like I didn't order mayo and they take it back and you They just scrape the mayo off and give me a second That's a fucking weird move. Yeah, that's a bad burger The issue if there's like a special sauce it comes on it. That's one thing But just putting like ketchup or mayo on before is a fucking weird move. I'll do it that let me do that Yeah, that's true Burger some places they have that if it's like also known for a burger Place I let them like all right. It's your place. You do your thing right feel like maneta or something like that Yeah, even the seller they got that good burger great burger, but yeah, I'm with you. I hate a Mayo is bold to but I fucking I'm always I never related to that pull fiction scene where he's pissed about the Mayo and the fries No, I fucking love Mayo in front. No, thank you. That's like the you don't like that. No delicious. Oh Why what do you I'm a ketchup? I like I'm a mustard guy over ketchup mustard on fries Well, not a fries just as a general, but I love mustard, but yeah, ketchup on a fries the way to go with a mayo Where you on are you one of these ranch guys now dip the pizza and ranch dip the bread ranch? Okay, I don't I get why people do But I'm I don't like ranch that much. I like I'll even wings on blue cheese. Let's oh Yeah, I'm never been big on ranch. Yeah, yeah, I don't mind a little ranch on a sale But yeah, these guys who dip it in everything now ranch comes on Papa John So give you a pack of ranch. Really? Yeah, that's how big it's gotten Yeah, man, I I'm never Usually I'm I'm happy with just regular pizza Say I don't need the we're doing enough. I will say in my poor days I would go ham on the garlic and the red pepper just because it was something free and it also just changed it up Yeah, yeah, I mean we ate so much dollar pizza. I remember I did at my show. I moved dollar pizza. Oh, yeah Week I was like yeah, I'm fucking eating this is of course, but then you're like this is bad It's bad. You're kind of like what's the catch and then 30 minutes later like oh, yeah, I have to live with this inside me Yeah, it's like a it's like the yoga mat material. It's not good And it wasn't like real cheese. I don't think it was fucking, but then you're also like I spent eight dollars and I got a pie I have no right to be upset. That's true. That's a lot of the hot dogs at Rudy's. That was a fucking hack. Oh I did that too, but yeah, they'll get you. Yeah, cuz you think you like when you're drunk You're like this is amazing and then the next morning you're like even like 24 you're like I feel like fuck hell When it's fucking up your body and you're that young true the beat because the beer is like two bucks. Yeah God that bar is awesome though, and it's still there baby. It's a great That's like a treasure that bar Rudy's bar and grill and that's see you walk in you see the pig you walk out with one That's that the motto for dane. That was one of our dames. Oh really popped in there Yeah, he knew what New York what cool New York spots were. Yeah corner bistro he made cool. Oh, yeah, that's right That's a great fucking bar. It's another cash only. Yes Cash only can get annoying though. I know. Come on. I got you to the ATM, but it's be here while I don't think people worried about getting robbed Oh, never thought I mean that was a guy. I remember we were at the comic strip one night Joe Mackie and I were just like pointing laughing at this picture of this fat guy. We're like who's this fat guy? And then they were like he was the money guy at the comic strip and he got shot in the head and robbed and we're like Sorry, we were laughing. No, geez. He was a real cash cow. Okay, but but you're like that was a thing when you had to just deliver the cash Yeah, that was big. Did it was safer? That's true. I never thought about that. Remember, remember guys would walk around with like a dummy or conquer that joke Well, uh, 20 mugger money mugger money. That was it. Yeah, you had real money and mugger money just so you can only give one away And then he was the joke was you would give him the mugger money He'd be like I know it's a mugger money. Where's the real money? No, the line he said I don't have any money. He's like we have your mugger money Seek you with the best New York jokes. He did he had that great joke about how cops and black kids started talking They flipped, you know, like a black people like don't do that man. That's a that's an a 4.8 or whatever and then the cops like Check your pockets or whatever such a good observation. I know I know. I love his joke about how the L train used to be the scariest thing Now you get on it looks like a ski lift. Oh Skeelift is perfect damn Colin Quinn the King watch New York story on Netflix if you haven't seen it That's a fucking masterpiece masterpiece. You know he told me after his heart attack I was like what did you think and he goes thank God I shot New York story Nothing about like a loved one right now. He's married guy Good for you. That's a great piece of New York art New York art in history like you do actually learn a little bit watching Oh, yeah, it's like a kind of a lesson on New York. Oh, yeah, that's amazing. When he breaks down every ethnicity in a classroom You know, and he's like the the sassy black chick. She's like she's like sit down Shaquika from the the teacher and she's like I thought Lincoln freed the slaves I grew up with that girl so that's that hits home how Italian guys are their toughest shit But they're scared of the weirdest things, you know, they're like I'll fucking kill you. I'll about beat your ass Whatever and he's like whoa, what's that yogurt? Get that way. It's also real. That's I know it's God. He's good Yeah, man. Yeah, so yeah, the next game we did we had to tell about the photo. Oh, yeah, we got a photo with Ben Stiller Jimmy Fallon Fallon walked up to Norman and was like mark kind of whisper to me He's like had a good set in front of Fallon the other night and then Fallon could go over like dude great set I kind of gave me like a smile. I was like all right. Told you. Yeah, that was cool And then still there was a little standoffish, but uh, he's cool. He was cool. He's so famous. He's such a big next fan Stealing the pain. I felt the same way right. He was upset about the game. Yeah, he wanted to duck out of there You can see and we had to call him back for the photo. Yeah, but it was a fun photo comedy photos great Jay in there and No, but I could tell He was effective and also Brunson got injured. I mean that game sucked to be that's a good pick. That was tough.

She chewed him out in the lobby and she was like if you don't get rid of him whatever I'm walking and that's successful and rich and marrying a humorless fucking person like that. That's a great point What a bump like you made it financially you probably have an insane house And then you come home to a woman's like what was that exact over a joke? Get a comedy show. I know bore. Yes. You're a bore. So I got off stage. I was like oh, I bond What are you gonna do that sucks? But I knew I had to do the whole Presentation all night and they were like we're gonna need the tuxedo and you got to get out of here True story brutal root just stop hiring comedies. You don't know about if you're gonna get a Gilbert Godfrey He's gonna say fucked up shit, you know, yeah, don't act like killed They killed Godfrey black. Yeah damn. No, I know the feeling I mean those private things are the worst because you're like I mean clearly I'm here for the money, you know But also for that one I was kind of like well, this is cool. It's based. I love sports sure So this is kind of cool, but then when it goes I mean it's so amazing how different the night could be when it goes well There was like an after party though. You come in. I'm like no. Oh god. You think I want to fuck you think I want Do you think these people want to see me? No, I'm ducking out. Yeah, but they were all very nice That's the hardest part is when they're they don't fire you and they're nice Right and you just feel like you let them down. Yes Yes, I'm not I'm not mad, but I'm disappointed energy sure and you did the full 30. I think they're like 25 Yeah, that's that's a while. It was rough. That's a long time to bomb. Yeah, I saw the light and I was like thank fucking God Wow So you said light me with five left. I got off on a joke that bombed. I was like Oh, what do you want me to do? I was I tried everything dude. I tried all my like I'm doing like jokes It's killing Conan found right? Oh And they're just not hitting. I'm just like this is a clean joke Wow Damn, that is so we got paid. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah But I heard the story of this other guy who didn't and I was like they made him give the check back and it was like that bad Wow, so like at least they could tell I tried. Yeah, maybe that's worse. Oh My God, I mean, you know my famous story where I the guy brought I flew me to Toronto crazy money and He I get to the he's like have dinner with us first. So I was like all right Italian joint beautiful restaurant food was Existently expensive. It's a bunch of real estate guys and he's like I'm a big fan I watch it with my son. You got to do this bit this bit. So I'm like this guy's quoting my he's this guy I'm gonna kill this is when you know you bomb though That like that back then I'm like, yes, I'm gonna go well now. I'm like I know I'm set up for failure I didn't know then but uh, so I go out. We he's the room was upstairs. It was beautiful ballroom and it was like all room too It's a death Fisher price Mike. Yeah, I couldn't get it go on that old thing with the feedback and He's I'm supposed to do an hour and he's in the front row and I'm bombing so bad and he's looking at me I can see the guy the whole time. He's looking at me like what are you doing? What are you doing? They don't get it. They don't get it people don't understand when How often we can bomb these cuz just like yeah, we need the rights situation. Yes. This isn't magic. It's like we got it. The room's got to be right. The people have got to be like set up for it. Yeah. Otherwise, it's strength. They're like, why is this person? I could tell they're like, why is he still here? Yeah, exactly. Which is the worst feeling as an entertainer. Yeah. Overstain your welcome. Like, all you want to do is leave him wanting more as an entertainer. Yes. Yes. So it's the worst when you're like, oh, I'm dragging on. I know it's bad. Yeah. On the self-awareness to know this is not working. Did you comment going, I've realized this is weird. I had to. Okay. No, I think you should. There we go. Talk about L gigs. What the fuck is this? Yeah. I didn't know this was this when I signed up for it. Give me a break. Well, it's called like hot show or something. So I was like, oh, all right. So if you're just listening, Mark did a show in a sauna, a fully turned up 115 degrees sauna to a crowd of people in bikinis and underwear. This guy looks naked. Yeah. It was a great moment too, because we're shooting something at the moment. So I had five sets and you were coming to all the sets and we go here and they won't let Salah Q's in because everyone there was hot. No, no. But they won't let them in because they're like, you have to have a bathing suit. Man, note that you forgot your bathing suit too. Yes. Your own show. I lied and said, I got mine. So I went in and I just covered up with a towel. But they wouldn't let Salah Q's in. I was like, ah, fuck, I feel bad. You're sitting out the cold. And I'd turn around and fucks this guy with no shirt on it. Salah Q. So I was like, what the hell? So you started filming? Yeah. And how how did the crowd laugh a lot? They were great. They were great. I got to say because I think what you're in there, you're gonna laugh. Like if you took the time to do this, you want to see a show. Let me say not everything has to be a comedy show. I agree. What are we doing? I hear this. Sometimes, sometimes a sauna is just a sauna. Of course. What why? I will say, this is a, if you're a single guy, go to this fucking place. It's just hot girl after hot girls are all in bikinis and it's, it's co-ed or whatever. So they just co-mingle and ice plunge together, sauna together. There's a bar back there. There's a bar in the sauna. Yeah. What's it called? Other ship. Yeah. The other ship. That's got to be rough. You're dehydrating yourself on so many levels. Oh, yeah. I think this is just a hook up thing. Like that's, that's got to be honest. Mark's gonna be next week as a picture of him at like an eyes wide shut party. I didn't tell me in the, it didn't tell me in the, well, at the upsteen island set. Yeah. Yeah. Crazy. Crazy gig. But they were good and I opened up. I said, I feel like I'm in hell, you know, except there's no gaze or something. But yeah, it was, it was a lot of fun and they laughed 10 minutes at. Where is this? This is on 24th and, sorry, 20th, 20th and 50th and between 5th and 6th. And the whole place is like a sauna type health. What is it? It's a sauna. Cold plunge. Those crazy showers. Yeah. Jesus Christ. You got to stain on your towel there. That's a shadow. Oh, no, I think I sat in something. But yeah. Damn good. Good times. I saw you wait after this happened. Yeah. We had to stop and chat in the street. The irony is I sweat less here than you did at the baseball. I mean, there's no doubt. There's no, do I? The, the, the flops sweat. It's funny because it's like a cartoon thing. But that shit's real. Oh, it's real. You just start getting drenched like I never sweat. But I also had a thing in Utah where I was like, give it like a near panic attack on stage where you're just like, I never have that. I'm not like, I have anxiety, but it hits me. Like I can usually flush it out on stage. It usually hits me like trying to sleep. You ever just trying to sleep and you just piss like 14 times. Yeah. Yeah. Before flight, like you just can't sleep your wire, your heart racing, your thinking of all the bad shit, whatever. Sure. But I'm pretty good at washing that on stage. I like being on stage. But I had like, I don't know why Vitor and I were just pounding coffee all day. Maybe it's the altitude. There maybe it's the, you know, the mountains. I don't know. Yeah. But we both had like a near panic attacks on state. I got off. I'm like, and he was like me too. I fucking, I'm on stage. I was like, I can't breathe. And you're fucking me. And my camera guy, Brian, the slow eater was like, he goes, I could tell something, like it was going well, but I could tell something was off. I could just tell you delivery. Like you're not, like you looked in your head. I was like, yeah, it was fucking freaking out. So you didn't bring it up or anything. You did. No, I mean, I was killing. I would, they were great. Oh, great. So I was like, why, why bring it up? If I'm not, I made a couple jokes. Like, you know, this mountain air is not made for Jews. Like, I definitely had some, like, allergies shit, where I'm like, and then you pop some nasal cord. I'm like, oh, I'm good. This is fucking straight up allergies. Yeah. Right. No, that altitude is no joke. It's crazy. It's crazy. Especially for guys, too. All the hangovers are bad. You get drunk faster. You get out of breath faster. I was pounding after the Saturday show. I was pounding vodka. I was, let me just fucking just, I was like, chugging vodka. I was like, let me just, let me, let me nick-a-less cage leaving lost massive shit. Except there was no Elizabeth shoe. I'll tell you. I'll tell you that. I'll tell him was lonely. Can I ask you a quick question? So you guys have sort of mastered public speaking, obviously. And you said you had a panic attack on stage. What are your anxiety dreams? Not quite, but it was like in the vicinity. Yeah. Like, when you're sleeping, you're like, whoa. That I'm a failure. That I'm like a fucking, that I'm just like, uh, that I'm like, oh, shit. I'm like in a movie. I'm like, die. Fuck this up. I could have done this. I'm not talking about like when you're having anxiety thoughts. Sometimes when you're, when you're dreaming and it's like the same thing over and over again, you're having a dream. Like in a, oh jeez, I don't remember. I don't really write them down. Do you read them? I had a dream last night that I walked in on my wife and there were two kids instead of one. And I was like, what the hell? And then you're like, is it mine? Now we have to take care of two kids. That was my panic anxiety dream. That was last night. It's so funny that your nightmare is probably what she wants the future. All right. A family. All right. There's a family. Well, I get it. Oh, but it's, but it's like a mind-fucked. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah, joint banging. Yeah, that's the word. Dude, I mean, that's, I get that though. Yeah, like confusion, like mind-fuck stuff. That's when you're like, it's not even scary. You're just like, it's like that soprano's episode where he's in a coma and he's just Kevin Finnerty and you're like, what? But it's like kind of scary because you're like, this is so fucking weird. Yeah. Oh, it's with that episode. I never got it. It was just eerie. Yeah, that's a good good. It was supposed to be weird. I don't know. I mean, like it was very David Lynchy. Yeah, but but we're no reason at all. I got a hot-taken David Lynch. Oh, hit me. Don't love it. I'm with you. I respect it. Okay. But I don't, I like Mahullen drives a masterpiece, I think. But then like Twin Peaks, I feel like every character's like, hey, a body, pal. Yeah. Why is everyone like it's like they're fucking with you? Yes. Yeah. I don't know. I don't get it. I will say elephant man is really good. Never saw it. But it's his first movie, I think. So he had to bring it. It's kind of a game. It's a new comic. It's your first album. I was gonna say. Yeah. I had to go slightly more broad. And then you give him too much leash and they fuck it up. I accept that he's great. I understand it and it's just not for me. Okay. But like, yeah, I don't love even in some of those movies. It just feels like every character's like fucking with you. Yeah, it doesn't feel real. Yeah. Like Tim Burton is a weirdo, but it works sometimes sometime. I mean, you got a crybaby. But that was someone that was about waters. Waters. Yeah. Waters. I think it's a little overrated. Yeah. Yeah. I think Tim Burton keeps it in line. It's still weird, but it's still fun. Yeah. I remember first on my son night, maybe before Christmas, the kid I was like, this is insane. That's genius. I was blown away. The music is great. The animation's great. That movie's incredible. Just different. Like, think of it like having your mind conceived that like it's like we need to want to watch the Scorsese doc and it's just like how he just visualized every scene in the fucking movie. Like, good fellow is casino. He just saw it before and you're like, that's incredible. Like, that's like being an artist where you're like, oh, this is what we do. There's how to look. There's how to flow. Totally an artist. Like, when that last scene where he's the time of flower moon and he's got the giant board. He's on a stool and he's putting like note cards on a board to the storyboarding and it's got to be like 68 note cards and he's like, that was all in his head. It's insane. Yeah. And he's 80, whatever. He gives it everything, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You see it sometimes when you're like, you don't have to suffer for what you do, but maybe a little ain't the worst. Sure. Sure. Then you see so many people we love and we're like, man, they're like suffering. Also, I didn't realize like, yeah, I mean, you talked about some of the episodes, but like the amount of shitty got for last temptation. I didn't know, you know. Yeah. That was a baby probably. He said the most shitty got there was Wolf of Wall Street because the internet was now around. So you can get more shit. Got there. They're the new picket people. It's just people like, I didn't like this. Exactly. And they're the new picket people. But there's instead of the picket, which is like 50 people outside of it. This is millions and millions of people. Yeah. You should just be like the local news picking. Right. He's like people who are like outraged gets retweet. I don't know. Well, I heard Seth McFarlane once say when he started a family guy, he would get bags like garbage bags of hate mail. Like this is offensive. He should be ashamed yourself. And they would just throw it in this big incinerator. But now the internet, you can't throw it away. Which by the way, that's going to be so satisfying. I know. Like the act of just. Yeah. It's not just fun to just not check. Right. It's about to like throw something in the fire. Yeah. Exactly. But then again, the show is hilarious and it's still on the air or whatever. So like, he's got to keep going. Look. Scorsese just kept going. Yeah. And then it's like, you do it for you. Like if you miss, you miss and then you come back with something better, you know. Yeah. I also love how they he's got like eight wives of that documentary. And they don't get any detail and how they just fall apart. I love it. Oh, now I have a new wife. We're like, wait, what happened to that? Yeah. What happened that last one there? But it's a new trend because every documentary five years ago is like, now here's the scandal. And you're like, no, just. Yeah, but he produces, right? Did he? Did he not get what a good. I don't think he did. It seemed, I don't want to use the word fluff, but it seemed a little too much focus on the work to beat to be not produced by him. Interesting. Maybe he was like, I don't want to talk. Look, why would you want to talk about that shit? Sure. Yeah. I mean, I think if you sign up, you go. I'll do it, but leave that out. - They did have Isabella Rosalini be like, "Yeah, he would throw shit." You know what I'm saying? - I know, I know. - Funny 'cause it's like scary, but it's also like a guy that tiny doing it is kind of fun. (laughs) - Yeah, with those eyebrows. Okay. - Okay. - They kept it nice. It was that lady, forgot her name. - Oh yeah. - Emily Sumpton. - Yeah, yeah, it was great. - What is it? - Rebecca Miller's a director. - Rebecca Miller, that's it. Yeah, she was good. - Damn, I had something earlier, but that's something else. I lost it. - Yeah. - Shit, what the hell are we talking about? - Scorsese movies. - Way before that. Lynch, yeah, Lynch is a little much. Although the Louis episode would Lynch is fun. - Yeah, I mean, look, he did a lot of cool shit. - Yeah. - But I'm with you, I don't love that eerie vibe. - That's also great in the Spielberg movie. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I just-- - Fable men's. - Fable men's, yes. I thought it was good, by the way. - I liked it a lot, yeah. I got bad reviews, but yeah. - I liked it. - Yeah, I don't like eerie. Like even Willy Wonka as a kid, the movie's incredible, super imaginative and all that, but it just, it irked me the whole time. - Yeah, 'cause you feel it, I think we just don't like guys who are like, are you fucking with me? - Yeah, maybe that's what it is. - With that whole energy, like, you're just like, come with me and you're like, what's happening? What's going on? ♪ Come with me, can't you see my imagination? ♪ - He is, I love Gene Wilde. - He's a boy, man. - And I appreciate it now, but it's a kid. Yeah, I didn't like it either. - Okay, my mom was showing me a weird RC shit when I was a kid. I was watching the Red Balloon. - Oh, I saw that. - I loved that, yeah. - Of course, I would go off my own and find Ninja Turtles and stuff like that. - Sure, sure. - But she was always showing me. She's like, oh, you wanna watch comedy? You'll watch The Lora on Hardy. - Wow, my mom's the same thing. The mess I found in the Marks Brothers. She handed me a stack of tapes. - Oh, dude, I loved it though. I would watch the fucking March of the Wooden Soldiers again and again. - Wow. - I mean, but yeah, it's kind of, probably is why we both love movies so much is we have moms who were like, you'll watch good stuff as a kid. - Right. - You could watch your ghostbusters and stuff too. - Sure. - But you have to watch like RC stuff too, and then you're like, all right, then you appreciate it when you're older. - That's true, yeah, good point. Yeah, my mom was such a cheap RC bitch that she would get library movies. - Oh, sure. - So whatever the free one at the library was, I have to watch all that horse shit. - So what were you watching? - It was a lot of like duck soup and-- - That's great. It's like the best thing to watch. - It was great, but you're like, I just want to watch Ernest goes to jail. You know, like give me a break every now and then. I don't want to use-- - He goes to camp with the one. - That was so good. - That was the winner. - So good, but yeah, you need to cut it with a little, yeah, with a little Ernest. - Yeah, you do, you need to cut it. - Did you watch Yahoo Sirius? - What's that? - Oh, do you remember that one? - Yes. - That was big. - Did you know that one? - It was a movie. - It was a movie. - That guy. - Yeah, nice. - Oh, that's a guy. - Yeah, nice guy. - That was it. I watch UHF, I watch all that shit. - You watch UHF a lot. - Yeah. - Michael Rich is before Kramer, dude. - Yeah, I had to watch. My dad was a little more sophisticated. He loved British humor. So I watched a lot of four weddings in a funeral. Mr. Bean, I watched. - You know my issue with four weddings in a funeral is? It just will go like, it's kind of like sad, I don't know, I don't know. Like, I don't have an issue with sad, but it felt like kind of like so out of nowhere. - Right. - It was such life, but it was good, it was fine. And that was hot. - Very hot, our daughter's very hot. - Yeah. - But we're getting old, like daughters of people who are hot are hot. Cindy Crawford, Annie McDowell. - Yeah. - That was another one. I cat the Ireland, did you have a daughter? - Yes. - Well, we've aligned in our movie where someone calls us old and you say, I'm 39, the perfect age to fuck your mom or your girlfriend. - Oh, your girlfriend, yeah. - That's true, yeah, it's like no frat guy. - That's how long we've had this movie, folks. - Okay, there it is, nailed it. Wait, how old is that daughter? - Uh-oh. - Uh-oh. - Good, good, but I'd have to edit. - I say hot, I meant adorable. - Yeah, that's a good save. - Speaking of Ghostbusters. - Wait, you just changed the subject. - Yeah, pretty quick. - Oh, I'm not. - All right. - Just say it, all right. Is it that bad? - I don't know. I bet she's 16. - No way. - I'll cut this. - All right, so appropriate. - That old, I don't know, I'm getting there. - This is dark. - Just right, hell, it's got the Ireland's daughter. - Chloe. - Chloe Ireland. - Okay. - That's the name of, um, Ali Baldwin's daughter's name is Ireland. - Hmm. - Imagine they had a kid together. - 36. - No, that's not the right one. - Ah, fuck. That's Chloe. - That's Chloe? - Oh, that's Chloe Agnew. - Yeah. - It's just so, the fact that it's hard to find makes me feel like this is bad. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the fact you had to sign that waiver. (laughing) - Do we have two people on this right now? - Yeah. - We've got all the best men on this. - 22 years. - Okay. - That's not good, but it's legal. - It's legal, God damn. Legal by four years. - All right. - And David tell us that barely legal. You're not Michael Jackson, but you're living in his neighborhood. (laughing) - Barely legal is insane. That, the fact that that's a term-- - The concept is awful. - It's very legal. - Love in New Orleans called Larry Flint's Barely Legal. - That's where the Skank After Party was at the night. - Oh, literally, it was a Barely Legal. - It was so cool. - Yeah, yeah. - That's hilarious. - Oh, yeah. - Fun? - Oh, it was great. Great time. They were a little old, though. - Oh, stand-up. He's the best. - Oh, that's a great photo. Who took that? - Salakis. - Ah, never heard of him. Oh, yeah, that's good stuff. - You got to stand-up back. - Oh, yeah. - He, uh, tell the stand-up story. - Which one? - Yeah, but don't give the guys name away. - Which one? - The one with the opener, the host. - Oh, gosh. - We tried to bump him. - So, there was a legend in show. - Legends. - Legends show. And two legends just backed out immediately. It was like, or it was like a 2 PM show. So Shane backed out and Bonnie McFarlane backed out. - Hmm, so it was a Pepitone, uh, stand-up. - Okay, legend, legend. - And who was the third person there? It was like, maybe a camera. Anyway, so, some opener comes in. And he's like, I was sent down here to fill in for Shane. I'm gonna open. And, oh, it was a talent, same talent. - Oh, okay. - So, the opener's like, I was told I'm gonna open. I'm filling in for Shane. - But then it's at least. - So, stand-up's like, you know what? Since no one's gonna do it, I've actually have 15 minutes on what it's like to open a show like this. I can do the open and I've got material just for the situation. And, like, hey, I'm just doing what I'm told. - Stop saying the name, I'm gonna open it up. - Oh, dude, he's like, I'm just doing what I'm told, brother. - Yeah. - So, he's like, oh, man. - Yeah, yeah, he's like that. He thinks he's he's bounding down. That's who he thinks he's. - Right, right. - Anyway. So, Sam Tal is like, look, friend. I'm not saying his name, look, friend. This is a legend. He says he's an opening. He's opening. You do whatever you want. You could close the show for all I care. You could be the last guy, but stand-hops opening. Boom. - Was he peeved? - No, he took it. - All right, all right. - He was the lowest man in that room. Like, lower than me. - Wow. - That's something. - Yeah, yeah. And, Sam, I'm like, I want to open. I have a bit about opening. Let me open the guys. Like, no, no, I got it. - Yeah, you can't push back against stand-hops. He's a legend. - Yeah, come on. - Is he Jewish? Bob Dylan is Jewish, and he's also a. - Yeah, but that's not his real name. - Right. Wait, what is Bob Dylan's real name? - Look at Bob Dylan. - Joe Zimmerman. Something Zimmerman. Not Joe. - Bob Zimmerman. - Bob Zimmerman. - Joe Zimmerman, funny guy. - Yeah, very funny. - He was a head-backed not Jewish. - Oh, sweetest check. He's a big whitey. - Man, Mitch head-backed. Do you ever see him live? - No, no, wish. I tried to get tickets to McCarrillines, and it was like a couple months before he died, I'm sure it wouldn't have been him at his best. He's probably gonna be on drugs then, but damn dude, head-backed was so good. I, sometimes people like, they'll hate on it, but it really is like, so fucking, it's such good joke, right? - It's so good, so imaginative. Like, rice is great when you're hungry for 2,000 of something. You're like, how did you think of that? How'd you know that'd be funny? You know? - Yeah, and the delivery and his letterman sets are fucking-- - Oh, lights out. - I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just gonna ask him whether they're going and catch up with them later. - Yeah. - It's fucking great. - My mom loves those applause breaks, you know? Like, I know people who don't like comedy, and I've showed him a head-backed and they're like, this is good. - I mean, do the defrains. That bit alone is-- - Oh, where are the defrains? - Yeah, search party of three. - Party of four, and he goes, you know that bit? - Yeah, I tell me. - Do the defrains, and then they just keep going. No, okay, next group. Yeah, but what about the defrains? No one seems to give a shit. That's a great fucking bit. - I know. - It's also such a-- Like, you don't realize, these are like just observational jokes. It's like such a character you don't realize. - Oh, yeah. How observational all these bits are? - Have you seen, this is pretty crazy. See if we pull this up on YouTube. It's head-backed before he's figured it out yet, and Ginny and Garofa will blow him some up. And it's in like-- - Greening blend. - No, this isn't like a bar or something. - Oh, really? - And there's like eight audiences members there sitting on the floor, and he's doing head-backed, but it's not fully formed yet, and it's-- - He's doing like Chris Rock's delivery. (laughs) - He doesn't even have the glasses yet. That was the YouTube video. I don't know, it's gonna be hard to find, 'cause it's super obscure. - You ever see the thing with Chris Rock and Stephen Wright came out and they do each other's bits? - That was amazing. - That was awesome. - We should do more of that. That should be done more. That was so funny. Now, this is the green room. I'm talking about it. set. It's a stand-up set. Um, but yeah. Tell it like a ponytail here. What's going on? He like the stovie haircut here. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. Good luck finding. It's literally in like a basement or something. And Janine Garoflo brings them up. But it's it's so cool to see a guy who's not not there yet all the way. You get to see like early days. Yeah. Like those old Louis sets where he's in Boston. He's got a orange flat top crazy. He goes, he walks up and he goes, and he goes, these are dolphin jokes. Come on, folks. Where are you? And you're like, wow. Louis thought that was good at one point. You know, like this brilliant comedian. But you got to start somewhere. And he was kind of alty back in the day. Very alty. He was a weirdo for sure. The best comics were kind of able to go both rooms, you know. That's true. Yeah. Good luck. Good luck finding this. Oh, oh, shit. You got any rex in the meantime? Oh, yeah. Well, they go see the Murphy doc. It's on Netflix. It's great. Oh, this is it. This is it. You know, I thought there was a premium blend. Oh, maybe you're right. This is coming central at the club down there. And I wasn't by popular demand. It was because of rotation. So brought me back. Did radio interviews? I walked into the studio to do interviews. The DJ's first question was, who are you? I had to think. You know, this guy really deep. What did I drive to the wrong station? I would have flipped that. I would have put deep second. So how would you do it? Uh, same here. All right, I think about that. Is this guy not know where I am or is he really deep? Yeah. Yeah. But again, he's he's green. Yeah. And the delivery is like, definitely. It's like when you hear early danger field and he didn't have the rhythm yet. Right. It's like, you gotta find your rhythm. But good for them for giving this guy a chance because he's still pretty weird. But it's like Sam said, you have to bomb before you figure it out. Of course. So he sort of he's not bombing the depth and he mold it to what's what's working. What's their receiving, right? It's like, that's why you can't just take someone else's that it's kind of dark to do that. I know. It's dark. And he won't he's not absorbing it. This fucking kid. But I don't want to give this guy anymore. They got to find footage of him before like there's no way you've talked like this your whole life. Yeah. True. I guarantee it. He has a pod now. He does when he just talks like that for an hour. It's crazy. It's fucking weird. I know. It's like, it's like, wait, we talk about like the Slater, Christian Slater Jack Nichols and shit. I'm like, this ain't this is a hundred times worse. Oh, so much worse. Yeah. And I think there's a thing going on where Gen Z is so young and everything that they don't know who these old guys are. And a lot of these younger people don't go backwards. Well, there's some legends. Not the name. There's some legends who have taken someone else's cadence and never really shake it. Sure. Sure. So it's like, all right. Yeah. He'd died in 2005. There you go. 20-year-olds were born. Right. Right. Never didn't. Yeah. Exactly. He had a new head berg. We're 9/11. Fucking crazy. Yeah. Well, that was might be controversial. But. But you like 9/11? Yeah. Yes. But yeah. Dave Chappelle. Tank Tony Woods and said, I'm doing you. Wow. Yeah. He said it publicly. And he's like, let me give you a get you a Netflix special and and Woods said no. He's like, I'm good. I'm not ready or whatever. He's not ready. That's what he said. Tony Woods is not ready. Yeah. He's like, ah, he doesn't like tapings. He's a live guy. He's a killer. But yeah, Chappelle was like, wow. You're the guy. That's pretty cool. Huge influence. Yeah. So at least you don't. D.C. Yeah. Tony was definitely one of the guys. Oh, yeah. Still is. Still is. Yeah. Some. The VU murdering like. Yeah. He's funny. He's got a little kvassia. Yeah. Yeah. Classic old school comic. Yeah, dude. What do you got? Uh-oh. Oh, shit. That's sangolo. The whistle's got some competition, dude. Whoa. Who's it? Is he Asian? Something about a little Pudgy Kid dance and that's pretty damn cool. Oh, yeah. Dude, this is me after hours with Ruby the other night. So is this the Lizzler? I like this kid. This kid's good. He's smooth. The fun thing about a chubby kid is when they do show like this, it is extra cute. Yeah. He's adorable. Peter said I bet we could get him. We just lied to the Rizzler came. He's sleepy. We got feeling it. We got blown off by the Rizzler many times, huh? Rice. But I thought once he sent in that video, I felt bad. He looked exhausted. I know. I think they hit him with a kettle, bro. Yeah. This kid at least has energy. The Rizzler's sleeping his dad's like, come on. Come on. Come on. He's like, oh, fuck. All right. Sam Mark. Sorry. I couldn't make it. It's a pixie. It's a pixie stick. This is amazing. It's like mesmerizing. I can't stop staring and it's like lulling me to sleep. He's he's going too. Oh, yeah. Oh, he's back. If you told me that was Kim jogging, I believe it. Same body, same hair. Oh, yeah. He doesn't have a lot of moves. But what he has is just it's working, dude. It's working. Oh, that's it, Fran. Oh, well, do you have the Martin Luther King thing? Oh, no. Oh, what's that? I said that you didn't find it. I sent it to me. I sent it to one of you. Can we make that kid like our our loading? You know, into the good videos loading. It's just that kid. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, some of these, some of this AI shit. I sent it to one of you because I was like, that's fuck, it's crazy. No, no, I sent it. You pulled up because it's an exact clip. It's really good. We didn't do this yet, did we? No. MLK AI, huh? It's fucking crazy. All right, all right. I texted to you, Peters, I think. What was Salah Cus? Boom. I got a good wreck in the meantime. Okay. Two wrecks. Oh, both Elmore Lander books, The Fucking King. 52 pickups. Incredible. If you haven't heard of it, it's fucking incredible. They made a movie about it with Voice Shider in the 80s, I guess. Oh wow. Well received that in Glitz are both awesome. Glitz. Yeah, they're both sick ass. Just fun. Like if you like scummy noir type, I know I say that word a lot. If you like scummy kind of crime books, so it's fun. It's just it's like if you're on vacation, bring one. I guess. All right, not that long. They're short, right? Glitz is a little longer. 52 pickups is like that and it's fucking lights it. Wow. I loved it. Now, where are you doing the reading on the plane or the toilet? A lot of plane. Okay. Oh, here we go. I ain't got no dreams no more. I am the dream. Let it go again. You want to know the truth? You just say that. Like who the fuck's idea is is Heel Martin Luther King? No, it's amazing. That's brilliant. And they even made the sound bad to make it seem more real.
