We got a great fun comedian on that we both like. We know forever Jerry Seinfeld. The Jerry Seinfeld who also did what's the what was his half hour show in the 90s called.
Skiddo or something. Yeah, felt I know what if I hear it felons anyway, he may be what he wouldn't like this, but he may be kind of an icon at this point, but. It was very interesting to say I mean people throw legend around or oh my god, you're he is one of the best comics to do it and he's definitely has a show that. Is arguably the best sitcom or way way way up there, yeah, we can look now 25 years later how it's just ubiquitous it's aired all over the world and then Jerry is such.
He at his core is a standup and he's he's a scientist about it and loves to talk about it so that was very interesting it was a really fun interesting interview at one pipe very fast he has a lot to say and his new movie unfrosted and so we talked about that. The idea of writing and directing a movie you know yeah and all the cameos and there's so many comics and funny people that are in that movie and it's got a great nostalgic feel to it.
It was a lot of fun that one just sitting with him I don't seem that much I seem once a year somewhere in an event never get much time everyone's around so just a set. Yeah, we're in person by the way yeah, we all did in my house and we cracked up it's good to just have hard laughs when comedians are on. Yeah, yeah, Jerry loves comedians and loves talking about comedy and so I think you might enjoy this I hope so we did. Oh, here he is. Here he is Jerry's sign fold.
Men and women do you have any chunk on that. Yeah, I do. Well in the old days, I think Chris rocks you end with male female relationships. Yes, I do the whole second half of my set is this marriage and kids. Yeah, we don't have a real star time. I had a piece. Are you rolling? Yeah, oh good. How's your energy right now? 1 to 10? Seven. Good. I had the premiere of the movie last night. I saw it, which was you were there? No, I saw the picture.
I saw the picture with your family. You were smiling so much and all the pictures because I'm done. I know. Almost. Almost. This is kind of embarrassing, but I saw the movie twice. Well, well, you know, you're cooking dinner. You got it on the laptop. You know, I'm not sure by the way I work on that. This chair. I always thought you were taller. Why is he in the little kitchen?
It's shaped like someone just drew an L and said, bad bad. This chair. Yeah chairs are now made for humans. They're actually designed to fit human beings. This is not this is like very kind. They want to get you in and out like something. Are you sure you have a short torso? It's your chair. Yeah, I thought mine is a bad chair. Charlie's better. Oh, this one might be better. Yeah, Chevy Chase sat on that one. I bet it's I bet it might be a little similar. I think it's a better.
Okay, good. Yeah, because it's the same chair. You know, I only saw in Frosted once. Dana. I just got these jeans. They're good. I put them on. I took the tags off this morning and they fit perfectly. Isn't it a great. What store? Levi's. Okay. Oh, school. Yeah. I like what kind of jeans do you wear? You know, they just ask you just answer the question. You know, when I was growing up, objection overruled. Yeah, you're witness. Two men and women.
What kind of jeans do you wear? I don't really know. It's whatever wardrobe has a professional shopper. No, I don't. Dana. I used to wear only 501 Levi's and then somewhere along the way I got lost and it just turned into brands. I didn't know and they were the exact same, but they cost more. The Sandler. What is that Sandler thing? I love that you would have a thing of sandler. This is this is album. Yeah, 100. And there's norms book over there.
Oh, that's great. There's Will Ferrell. That's nice. It's all we have is each other. It's all comedians. Yeah, right. I was talking about how the only time I feel really calm is alone or with a comedian. Yeah. If I go to like a show business event, I will be lined up a comedian. Yeah. And it's it's very simple explanation is that we're all on the spectrum. Is that true? Oh, yeah. Nobody cares about the spectrum when you take it out this far.
It's not the one you think about. Yeah, what's this name? Neil Brennan has a funny. Yeah, the sprinkle of us burgers, whatever it is. He says psychopath synetics. Created the world basically. Oh, right. Yeah. That was in his last special. Let me ask you a question. Is Lauren ever told you his thing about funny people? No, because it sounds like some of you would kind of agree with.
Yeah, I always give you with everything. Lauren's. Me too. So I say I'm moving somewhere. He always would say something like, well, there'd be funny people there. That's the first one. And then the second one, he goes, because there's like only 900 of us on the planet. Specifically 900 and globally globally. That's a generous number. Yeah, because you would use to say like 50 comedians maybe in the country are any good or 25 or six.
Well, the odds aren't good for us. I see. I'm not picking them. I'm not picking them. All right. It's a rare. I agree. Every time I had it anywhere in a comedian walks any kind of social event. I'm very happy because they're immediately critiquing the room and. Yeah. And analyzing it in a funny way. So if we're a dog, are we. Jack Russell. What kind of dog are we? I don't think we're Jack. Jack Russell is too upbeat for.
Yeah. A dog breed. Would you say. I don't know. I know. I just I'm going to. I'm going to do a lot of job. Go to find a dog. Go to the retriever to social. But it's what they're trying to plan is. To empathetic and good in social situations. You need cynical awkward. A little bit angry and a little bit depressed. Yeah. French bulldog. Yes. Bingo. Cat. For our listeners, look that up. What dog has that. People like those dogs are very popular in the.
They're valuable too. So it's got that in there because they steal them a lot. They got the ears stick up. I don't. Do you have dogs in your. I used to but we gave them away. Okay. We did let them take them. No, they were docks and said they were really weak. Really weak dogs. No, they. No, I mean. First of all, they had no act. You know. That's the little dog. If you're a dog, your act is tennis balls. Right. Master coming home. Beach. That's your act. Right. They had no.
The only thing they can do is go to a go for whole stick their snout in it and be still and look down on the go for hours. Not enough. That's not really entertained. No, I wasn't even excited about dinner. They were horrible. I hated these. You got some lemons. Yeah, it happens.
So tell me about I would like to hear. We don't see each other alone. Yes. For sure. The tables just got. Yeah. Ask. Well, I've done. I had my own talk show. I know what the hell how to do it. Ask us anything. I want to know. Look, no one asked you this.
No, I'm not. I'm bringing the ridge. Yeah, I come with a ridge. I didn't think of this, but I'm looking at you guys. I want to hear how this. What is this now in your life? This thing you thought it was just I will just do some excess and I'll players. That'll be fun. And then it blew up. Yeah. So I like the sound of that once. Yeah. So what do you think about this now? You glad you did this? What is this? The only I wish about it that I wish it was on video because it'd be funny. You make more money too. Yeah.
But I do like it because it's kind of old school. It's like a newspaper or a telegram. Why don't you video sitting here? We have cameras here. We have a second podcast. We video. Yeah, we just started one because so we can video and basically get out there because. Yeah, it's so easy now show business boy. They really changed it up.
Yeah, amazing. This is it now. This is all the comedian has to do. Just don't just talk and you don't have to be. Is it a lot of making so much money that it's you said something the other day that sort of forgettable but I it was a no you said some about movies and I it sort of rang true with me that movies aren't the pinnacle
pinnacle and it always was always and now you can make more in standup. There's these guys that are playing arenas and and going on to where they go. I don't even have time to do a movie because I'm making so much money. It just and it doesn't help me. Let's take some money out of the election for a second. Let's break it down. Let's pretend we actually care about the comedy movies are over was how you were.
Movies are over which was really fun and they asked what replaced it and I said good line. Disorientation is what is the new pinnacle. Well, we're all feeling somewhat disoriented. I think that you can't just talk about money because you're going to you're going to go down a bad road in your work if you really just go I'm making more money.
Exciting in the beginning but then you got it. Yeah, if the what you have to accept is that we have to chart a different path. Yeah, I saw it. Nate Bergazzi last night and Ted Serrano was there and I was he's working on some putting some kind of show together with Ted. He's going to lose money. It's so funny now. Right. He would lose money.
He's doing a show by anything else. Don't this is the thing I really hate. I've always hated about comedy that we have to do other things. None of us want to really this thing we do like. This is this kind of work is fun. You had it on wheels basically. I had an on wheels. I loved it. Yeah, but I had to edit. You don't have to edit. Well, this is at times.
Now it's a long form talking with you and stuff but times it's like behind the scenes at SNL before you had to hone your sketch down the best improv and the best lines were just in the writers room or me and Kevin Neal and would laugh for hours to a constant
nuance. And so now we can and I know you loved it. I did. So now we can do this. But I would say one unexpected thing about this is the camaraderie is now omnipresent with we're seeing all these SNL people comedians right and we're like when will we again be across the table for an hour.
So you're seeing people for the first time and you have you feel such empathy for them and their journey and how they're feeling it so it's more emotional that happened to me on comedians and cars. Now I'm friends with Eddie Murphy which we weren't friends before and everybody on the show. You know, you texting and it's so nice.
You do a long chunk of time we saw we talked to Chloe fine in the other day we both know Brennan and then you sort of have a new thing you go well they were very interesting then know what their life. So the thing is I guess that we're just interesting to listen to for people. I don't know if that's true. I mean, I wouldn't have I mean if it less than somebody I really like. Yeah. Why why would you listen do you listen to podcasts. No.
But you have I have did you ever listen to one that I like it. I kind of you know the thing is about entertainment now Jerry this is something that you would observe. People are always doing other things when you're out of comedy club you're at the club you may be getting a drink but you're watching the comedian everyone listening to this will be doing something else gardening walking mostly driving they'll be distracted.
So we don't have to be that good right but we're still good enough. Yeah Howard started invented this right yes but we're better than him now. Yeah. Right Howard is interesting Howard is a great interviewer but you know comedy chops I mean we can we speak candidly sure. No. Well he got Rob and Robin is big part of how they're all great but let's face it.
That he's been out he's been outflanked by some very and yourselves I would say is absolutely this show is comedy podcast this is the best one on on the on the air. It's nice thank you because you guys you play nice together you smooth you don't you know you're not jumping on each other which is annoying to listen to.
We're friends we don't need to eat we really don't right he cracks me up it's fun to hear him I like to hear score I like to talk to guys like you it's not always this level but anybody in comedy is interesting to me and you've and raw little damage and beat up and it's fun to hear so some are tough for now as you probably when you interview sometimes it is it is what that's why I love I had to edit it I couldn't put that out to people with the
best when put him through it and then I got tired of doing all the editing right yeah but I do think that people like with a standup they if they love a standup you or David or whatever part of it is there on your team they're buying the ticket they're there they're already rooting for you you're their friend you're their guy Jerry smart Jerry does this this is my guy so if you don't kill that night you still Jerry so they just like to listen to us if they've
seen me on SNL doing crazy stuff now they're hearing me now there was none of this before four years ago three years ago who knew it was a market who knew people want to get to know us yeah who gets the credit for figuring who figured it out Dennis Miller he did I made that
out no no you know how who did the first big comedy podcast that people liked that was funny I mean Morgan Marin is more Marin Marin ours isn't that serious we don't dig we don't want to know that much we know we don't want to put people on the
spot he's a Christ make us laugh what interesting do you think you are you're not that interesting okay you're not right when you're funny you're worth it yes this is my line which you know me I know you have a lot of great lines no but you know that I draw that
line if you're not funny we're not that interested in you that's still my true North star yes I do still I'm trying to really be yes you've always been that way since you and I hung out what year 81 we've been we know I think you might have blown
through not in the 70s maybe maybe maybe maybe because you were like 14 months apart in age or something but you and Leno always seem like my dad in a way yeah you're so much more professional in fact you're the first comedian I ever saw with an act a real act that was that the other cafe I remember it's a hate aspery yeah our bits were all discompoblated it was running into a corner of ditch and this was late 70s and you like you had all this stuff like that I've never seen like that
yeah it was like but you advised me don't go on the comedy competition you don't need it no it's a laugh off no I did one I did one came in second who beat you George Wallace well that makes sense yeah 78 put him in on frosted yeah I did yeah he has a funny line too I I love other people's anguish is that he says he's a bartender yeah yeah he's just a trouble keeps me in business I love other people's anguish what about my my remembrances of Jerry Seinfeldr the you don't always remember your
openers no one always does but we did sandy ego improv on garnet will never forget the fucking great and then I had my Honda and I had my skateboard in the trunk and I would skate around and I think you thought that was interesting and because I was so young I go once I do in there is Arizona and then my recollection which is funny that what you remember I don't remember all comics obviously that you were good but when you're doing like 45 every
comic I'd work with wasn't that many has the same 45 like stamped out of the room you've seen five years later and you did 45 in the next time I watch you flipped about 20 of it was different I was like I couldn't believe you had different stuff and then you flipped it again the next set maybe out of boredom that's what I would have done now but I was like always putting he's flipping the order and he's also changing different
material so you have that much material so I was just a fan across the board of that and you're cool to me and now which we had fun isn't it funny how I mean I remember that so well I remember sitting in your apartment in San Francisco so well you guys don't think that I have forgotten any of these things I just think that it was there's so many memories and I also I was newer maybe later you remember but when
you know when I've opened it some people say remember I go oh yeah now you say I remember something like that but it's weird it's weird but when you hang out with people if I if I hung out with Steve Carell it would
all be about the show we did and I would go right back to 96 just that it got canceled but it wasn't sign fell for that way yeah I was gonna ask you a question do you think that most comedians even the good ones are essentially lazy first of all so impressed that you have questions is this
preparation this is this is out of respect this is so you know what this is so flatter you and Jim Gaffigan are the two that I've most seen this really discipline I don't even know you call it a discipline willingness to tape the act sit with it work on the bit if it's not working like you
had a bit once that I could never get to work without saying fuck right and it really frustrated that's interesting and I tried all these different combinations right it never got quite very interesting but I only had one fucking my act right did you ever say what is the fucking
you I did I had one in a Superman bit man I'm gonna answer your other question because it's a really good one I had one in my super Superman bit was one of my first bits about that lowest and Jimmy were these reporters and there were you always tied up in an F and cave and
how are they doing their job you know yeah and you if I took the F out of it nothing no laugh so that bothered me I go so it's not funny yeah unless I say F and cave well especially if a comedian's use it casually yeah if you're gonna use what's called the F word yeah make sure it's a punch line just don't go why I'll the fuck you doing well you're wasting if you like it well it's always that it's always that but did you ever figure you couldn't get it to work the same way no I
couldn't get it to work and I thought well then that's not funny I guess what the hell am I doing yeah aren't I supposed to be good with words isn't that kind of part of this job yeah but as we know there are many
many people great great comedians who use all a lot of a quantity and use it beautifully 99% do not right but some do so I can't say I have a problem I don't have a problem with the word yeah it's but we're supposed to be good with language I think that's what they're paying a seat back to your
question and I have our comedians lazy generally speaking all humans are lazy yes period right but they're not standing on a stage getting no laughs because of the laziness no all humans are lazy period comedy is
the hardest thing to write or do in humanity comma I think I had more no I don't have any there's not so happy all no writers yeah my my friend Barry Marta says you think you're funny you want to be in the business you want to do write me one page of stand up one page and you see exactly all right
chops or no chops one page of stand this writing stand up it's it's poetry that makes air burst out of your mouth that's what it is let me ask you a question what I find please stop announcing questions I want to stop I have a question I would question for you and what armor was my grandfather I have my mom side quick question is the one you just doubled the length that's how much you know about quickness I'm
going to ask you a question this one's very serious no go ahead David whether you have a few weeks old puppy or a senior who's seen multiple decades any dog person like me knows the most valuable thing in the world is spending time with your pet yeah the farmer's dog makes it easy to keep

any I would do any joke I could think of that works that I like I don't have anything on race race but what what why would you ask that question because some african-american comics have race jokes and it doesn't seem like a lot of white comics have race jokes yeah we'll take this out
I mean I'm not gonna ask you a question why do you pause there because what he said was so stupid I didn't know I have another one I wonder why black people think about race more than I know I'm just saying is it possible if I ever wonder if that has something to do with their life experience
well is it possible to make fun of race if you're white that's I'm saying is like is it too touchy or is just two off limits or is it just better left outside yeah is this thing because I really really get ill when I hear you know it's a white guy you know oh I'm white you know I really hate
that crap I don't like any of any of that white guy black guy this guy but I do love and you'll say but so hacky I absolutely love any black people do this why people do this I love that bit yeah yeah I don't know who does it I don't care what you got I love that bit yeah it's funny yeah
if you got Steve Harvey the yellow suit special white man fishing black man fishing come on yeah I love that you've ever seen Steve Harvey's bit it's on YouTube see where he's if baby boomers went to war no it's so brilliant it's like nine minutes and it's so hard now I need
so that's what I care about because yeah we were talking about money or something before yeah I don't care how many tickets you sell I don't care where you're playing I don't care what you're breaking in let me see the stuff if you've got great stuff I'm really envious and impressed yeah
right I don't care what so what are you gonna do with this money how many square feet is your house who cares how far you walk to take a leak I don't I totally agree bits that bits is our only currency that's what I'm saying yes and people asked did you always think this and that I'll ask my wife
because I met her in 79 did I ever mention getting rich and famous she says never right never I was only trying to kill in the club be as good as right let out you are one of the great kill club though you're you're you're you're a you're kill obsessed which is what makes a great
comedian you are up there and I I think I'm I'm not at your level but I I have that I have got to get these people I have to get these people yeah I know that's what I care about more than anything yes I do and I it's nice to live a nice life of course it's nice yeah how we live and all that but
the best thing ever in the club Jerry was a woman with a napkin going like this right in the front bro yeah because you know that you're having reorientated her world that's it that's turning a crowd around is a good feeling yeah if you're not working it's not working you're trying every
trick in the book and it starts to come around you're like oh my god oh my god 30 minutes in and I've got them did you ever open for music in the day and and I know out no that's too I think I should do that oh yeah lots of tough one yeah it's kind of fun right it can be I open for Todd
Runger him for Robert Palmer yeah for ten your tower power sometimes your heroes will be on in a second yeah but first this is me in 1978 going to college Dana Garnell yeah yeah doesn't that make a man out of you uh yes it does I did for Kid Rock and I like
us probably seven thousand cedar outdoor outdoor to boot uh did I get them let's look at a clip at one last time you really bombed yeah do you still bomb like in your mind like you were off look I mean I'm not going to tell you where when it was no don't recently it was when a peg it was
a couple weeks ago and I came off and went that was shit and I was really and I'm still I have a set tonight at the Hollywood ball we're doing oh that's gonna be great is this when is this there's in two years um this uh no the Hollywood ball sounds like such a fucking fun show is it'll be
really a half again a gap again and begotten and Sebastian who's following Sebastian here's what we're gonna do how you gonna go out with a top hat with four I love it I love it so you might open I might open I love it and your mind no one answers who's the hardest to follow of those three following
is a philosophical no I think there's an energy no no no I don't say Sebastian versus me yeah I I'll follow I follow they're all equal I followed Cosby after um 9 11 we did a benefit of Carnegie Hall right and I followed Cosby who I follow who I was adored as a child yeah
sat there on the floor playing why is there over and over and over and I followed it was no problem yeah so following is that's it we get it to what about I can I said did you follow canis in his prime oh well now you're talking I did and I bombed right five five but that's
that's loud too loud is tough loud is tough but you know look have you ever remember in the old days we used to flip around TV and you're watching a cartoon and then you're watching porn and it's no problem you can change you can change lanes the human brain is built to change no you just need
you need a minute so if I follow Dennis Miller and when he's really got them I can follow it but you have to deal with his energy for a couple of minutes well car be sure his energy is none of your business well okay it's it stays there for a moment you can't yeah that's none of you that's
not your problem I just go out and do something like I say I'm playing Tucson I go what's up Tucson and I have him okay last night did a set right but I'm on the I'm on the bill so they know I'm there and that only matters because uh John Mulaney comes in and he does a guest set and so it he's
very hard to follow anyway and he's uh I'm not saying I don't agree with you but he's also a guest set so it's even better you know what I mean his surprise right right he goes off and he want to tell the uh you know um see what you would never do do one joke in the middle but I didn't say that
didn't didn't use that bullshit that crutch I just said bring me right to fuck up that's right and then I went up and I just said John Mulaney great you guys got lucky night and then I go right into it yeah and I did good and it's hard I just go right into you go I got a floor it because
yeah you can't be the one they take the night off on you know if there's great comics and roll like you for tonight uh sometimes they go I've laughed too hard if someone doesn't their first joke doesn't work they go yeah let's get some beer and then everyone kind of goes down
for you and you go oh this is the one they took off on they just kind of said well I he's not gonna be that great in your case Jerry saw it up close it was at the comics strip oh must have been he early 80 oh my god wow yeah going into the file so there was so that there was a lot of stuff
going on like people were killing or drinking the room was completely unsettled this for you or Jerry Seinfeld right so you came up and I was just in the back watching and you're doing your thing no laugh no laugh no laugh but you're not losing it you just keep going and going and after about
seven or eight minutes you started to get them and then you ended up killing and I remember I never forgot that I go wow this guy you don't give up is bombing but he's just laying out these great pits one after the other no one cared everyone's talking right but you wore them down yeah
mm-hmm see I gave you a compliment thank you thanks thank you that's so nice um well we could we could we could call it out too here's a compliment yeah now you know corporate gigs are like that corporate gigs sometimes you can get them after like 20 yeah they start hating you or just they
don't care about you and then they start to go for it sir the foxes guy talk and then they then they start to get some smiles and then if you that that's a big victory especially corporate yeah so you do corporates we all do them I always tell the house yeah okay get this
and get 20 bucks the improv I used to like no real money at these clubs now at the clubs yeah these club you get making hundreds of dollars yeah you get it's up to fifth no not a hundred but no it's up there four seaters you know two shows do you would you ever do two shows anymore
yeah still do okay in one night yeah one night wow what is your perfect size venue a lot of people brag like we played this and it's bigger you would but don't you what's a good type is it not my job is a couple thousand where you want to stop and sell my job I the stages my job I don't care
who's out there I don't say I do like it you know I don't care what I like so if they I know what you fucking like would you prefer screens are not screen you don't care I don't don't want to do you want the microphone to actually amplify that's not you do I love arenas no thank
you there we go we cracked them down we broke I don't love it but it's not my job to thank your hired you're supposed to good no matter what what are you saying if you're hired you're there you do the best one person or a hundred thousand the best I can with your setup that's
my question for you yeah and I'm gonna answer good attitude you know what you would have done that's very political this gesture is there he is yeah sin fell funny love day good yeah when they go look the word look I what do I say you know when they get asked the question look and I just
agree with everything you've just said that who was who had the bit where they had the glasses on they go what do you mean my son's gay who is that guy I don't remember but anyway I had a putting a cigarette out bit to end the argument but I used to do it the people who smoke when they put
they don't they're not annoyed by the smoke until they put it out so anyway that was great went to the pool don't forget your question I want to what about the dark three what Jerry Seinfeld would have done yeah maybe a thousand cedar out in West Virginia a little soft Jay Farrell played the
night before so I assume so I said sounds just like Jay I mean how's the sound I didn't do a sound check oh yeah it's great sounds great so I go up huge slapback hello hello hello hello I don't think they can fix it or they would have so I had to do the whole set feeling like I was in a
fish bowl oh that's hard that's really hard because you start wasn't hard because hard's not my business yeah no hard is your business you don't you actually just suck it up and do it that's right or to go could you guys but you start to have a mini production meeting because you're trying
to be funny we're like hey guys this guy from the bribe over here but honestly get you fucking fixes and are you hearing that and then blah blah and are these lights right but I you try to work it in but you can't just stop and go okay here's what's going on because if they can't fix it now
the audience is on to it gone I did a show two weeks ago and I said 10 minutes into the set please go to the box office and ask for a refund if you're not happy and four thousand dollars had to be returned because they they couldn't hear sound okay so by the way when you had that bad set did
you think you were just sometimes I feel like the audience it was a better than it's a B. Yeah I was about to say easy easy but would you felt sometimes the audience you're better than the audience sometimes the audience is a little quiet and you're really on and sometimes the audience is really
good and I feel just I was yeah that's all fine yeah but good there are there are those shows where you can't get that code off you know what I mean you're walking someone's house you got your code on yeah and your job is to take your code off and just be comfortable in their house and that's
that's a set when you get your code off in front of the audience okay I'm here with you you were socializing quote unquote and I couldn't get off of myself you know I have I have a a trainer guy Adam right and he's a sports cycle works for a lot of teams a lot of Olympians
and we discussed a negative voice a lot which every comedian is intimately acquainted with the war between you and the negative voice on stage telling you why would you even go into this field right it's clearly not your forte it's not working it's not working tennis is very strong tennis
golf and stand up if you have to have a strategy for the negative voice so you won't be able to play I would say like the code analogy for me is sometimes I forget to say this one thing right before I go out have fun and if I forget to say that and I'm out there why is this not feeling good
I'm not having fun right but the good sets are like you're having fun it's a subtle distinction but if you forget to have fun and you're in that voice is really loud the best is when the voice is gone right the best yes very hard to completely yeah but fun is not really a good
it's an internal clinical word the real the sports psychology word is flow that that's the state that you seek in writing or performing or socializing flow is really the word it is a bit overused but there's no better word for it when you're a zone tone zone yeah zone I'll accept
zone I'll accept it flow is a little more flow has movement yeah and that's what you always trying to find you know you let me try and do this bit a little different maybe I can find mm-hmm fun flow but when you get flowing and then they get flowing and then you don't have to work
well it's like you're enjoying it and they can feel it yeah and it feeds it's a feedback loop you know you guys are seeing the really good show do you ever do that do you ever like it's going really well and you say you guys are really great tonight do you I can't do that I didn't
think you would no I didn't think you would I tell them it's their fault when they're not laughing yeah I got a lot of them know what I will say there's my version of that is I'll just take the sip of water and go let's go to work okay that's what I'll say that's that's my way of saying this
is a good crowd I'm into this I have a theory that most comedians especially the all-time greats have a little bit of a tell for the audience and that's a little giggle and if you look at prior prior had the yes a constant little thing that's funny Louis CK will do eight or nine minutes
and then once in a while he'll just do a big laugh just like and you you you'll do it and then you'll put a little laugh in everyone's small it's it's very subtle yeah but they're seeing that you're enjoying it yeah I've seen I'm a well your eye is stunning by the way you have an amazing
eye that you pick that you pick those that you know that you and you and you tweezer those out that that's great well I'm just curious I know I got a tweezer for you I like to see a great comic it doesn't have one I don't think you do I don't think you do a tons of crowd work no one I've seen
you I do my encore is always Q&A I take so okay I guess that's crowd work that's that's just fun right yeah you don't open with it so you win them over without it and then you have it at the end but a crowd work thing that's funny is when someone goes hey blah blah and then they answer
and then if it doesn't get laugh he goes two weeks ago on Cincinnati I asked this lady the same quick I go you're reading living a joke that wasn't from this crowd have you seen that trick oh yeah it's it's I saw last night I was like I come home how do you feel this is a younger uh
person's thing that they do it's from here is if the bothers you them any comedians that says when I wrote that joke that's not really part of the show dude don't know we've come here dude we've come here to hear let's let's play the illusion that you're this
funny magic yeah let's do it will appear yeah how it got on yeah don't say when I wrote this show please now when you're watching stand-up or watching a special do you find yourself being analytical a little bit what are you talking about well you're going always doing that bit always
doing you know just watching the stand-up maybe a young stand-up it's our we can move on wow note to self was never bring us worse than the race sorry about him sorry about you sit down why thank god no thanks you're just saying it so obvious that you do I I am always we're always
have the meter running in the cab we're watching yeah how you know when I watch Nate when I called a great writer yeah and I watched his second special and I wasn't really that into him I hadn't seen I shouldn't say that I hadn't seen much of him but the second one his laugh per minute rate
yeah was so high LPM yeah so you call so that I I call them and I said that was a really and my daughter is writing comedy and I said this is what we call tight this is what this defines tight yes and so that so the meter's running but I will totally get lost in anybody I like
but that other that other thing is also there well once in a while stand-up has someone come on it's kind of they have their moment you know and so I think it was seven or eight years ago when I just would go through and watch Sebastian his first kind of special yeah and his physicality
yeah and his rhythm yeah yeah and clipping his town they all sold from there eating the cinnamon yeah and I was just like okay this this is this is a this is a rebirth for me this is this is new familiar but new and I knew that that was his moment right right and I'm trying to think the
current but that happens once in a while you know it's funny I think a few years and then not often not often not often once a decade yeah I mean definitely I think Nate is having his moments of bastion had his a few years ago who was before that Chris while Louis Louis yeah Louis
had his moment it's it's quite rare it's quite rare when when all the pieces Nate does have a high slugging percentage of oh yeah you keep watching you go wow because he because a thing that I was not accustomed to and you probably weren't more is when a new thing of doing tour special
tour special and I always feel like the first one's probably the best special yeah and these are the second best jokes then it just feels like just because how hard I work I just jokes to work and I hate throwing them the garbage and yeah me too and you don't really have to I guess because I
sort of like a little mix I like stuff that I love and I like stuff that like if you were on I wouldn't mind if you pulled out they've seen the fork or whatever that joke yeah so I still do that you know but I hate to tell you this yeah we're old and out of it yeah that's just not the way
it's done told every day of course but if I went to see George Carlin I would love if he did baseball and football oh yeah I would love that's what I love but but I think our day is past I remember a comedian come to the punchline San Francisco might have been Frank Orchard or something
wow impression but he was like 55 right and I was like what is he even doing this for why would you say I was 26 do you remember Denny's joke for some Johnston no Denny Miller oh the down yeah do you remember for some reason I want to see Nancy Reagan and Frank Gorshin's old
Riddler costume do you remember that I think about that joke at least once a week because I love that joke so much it's yeah I don't know what it is you know he has to say Frank Gorshin's old Riddler costume yeah you get that image the green tight yeah I mean Dennis I love Dennis
Dennis my fate one I don't know why this one always stuck in my brain yeah he's up there he goes Jimmy crack corn and I don't care little big posse what the kind of hell out of two is that I'm so glad you're laughing that hard yeah I love Dennis so much he was the one when I started
when I would go the improv when I was like that old I was probably 2021 and the chalkboard and it would be guys like you and Leno and maybe Dennis and Kevin not so much Dan XZ is more up in San Fran when I started but I'd see him but I would go in there and it was such great
comedy school just to watch and go fuck is everyone this fucking good I mean it's unreal I got his big gulp one you know you know a big gulp yeah two I'm so liquid who's who needs that much liquid I just stepped off the surface of the sun I'm a little parked yeah
something's going to drink with a fucking undertow got a life-to-leaf chop chop or the guy who didn't forgive the pope you're lucky my chicks not here yeah Dennis got a million but I think in the the hall of fame of our generation I think
of you and Leno and Dennis you know I saw Jay last night yeah Jimmy we had the premiere of unphrasalistia Jay was there Jimmy Brogan was there Larry David was there and I felt like I was getting married it was like it's like well there's the life that was the life that was it the history

options to choose from buying a car becomes a whole lot easier see it find it auto trader you know I'd not to talk about the movie but I'm frustrated speaking of tight one thing that hit me pretty quickly was how fast it was moving like not really like a normal movie
it was like not not only it's got a story so it's not just set up punch on but it's really line line line line line I mean once you see you get it feels like a rhythm which is goes wow you're not wasting any time you're getting the scenes out which takes a lot of work ahead of time just tighten
tighten but I thought gaffigan was funny everyone that came in of course I got the whole cast list here but once the McCarthy's always funny yeah Amy was in a billbub of course is the surprise takes you a second yeah to find out it's him but every time there's some funny
people and the movie is light it's it's maybe I wouldn't say Willie Wonkaish for something weird you know something like a very light it's a very fun very it's a mad mad mad world yeah people carrying so much about something and so right maddenly carrying about the cereal that
was the that was the track we tried this I think it's a director this is my first note okay that was I thought was great the kid in the first scene yes so good so good so hard to get a kid that good you're eyes and bay yeah who I just love this kid I saw him last night I hadn't seen him
since we shot that yeah I just was hoping his eyes are gonna come to the premiere I've got to see him again he was just a sweet kid he was funny he didn't realize all mine like I've had better days or something there was something really funny the box yeah yeah yeah tough and then
and the guy the kind of just tough days is you don't want to know that yeah you don't want to know and then and then a little while later you have the little girl in the dumpster like she was she was great yeah great her voice there was she comes back she's got a lot of she's a killer yeah
add her because those two were getting laughs did you add a scene for them no so you know that's done sometimes they oh yeah no we didn't we didn't but you know when the scenes kill that obviously there were scenes like I cut and but their scenes all all made it well tell me
her name again the little girl okay I got it right in front of me yeah her name is day she's the boy her name is John slattery I like my name calls her cabbage patch baby Schumer is she like great miss so funny he's fun well they are I mean you had got you had Gaffigan was so
fucking funny in this movie like it was a perfect part for him like he looked like central casting from a 60s sitcom or something I mean it was just born to play that role right yeah the president the son of the president of Kellogg's yeah yeah so inherited the company and he plays it so
for his sleep that he's Kyle Dunnigan doing a cron kite is what a that was a great runner love and he did Carson yeah I saw that with the face yeah the face replacement we had him in that we interviewed him right oh yeah how great is it he's so as good as they come as good as they come
good as they come really underused undersold I'm glad you use very humble kind of unassuming but yeah yeah yeah nails it Christian Slater was great he came up with the whole cron kite I'll stop drinking when you stop talking oh yeah that was an ad lib on in a take I said that's this character
that's oh yeah okay nobody knew that Walter cron kite had an old bitch wife and a drinking problem it's our generations you know it's such a touchstone yeah I mean I'm sure it was huge in our family oh sure silly putty x race backs yeah they all get it shout out like here silly putty if
you got one which one we'll tell you what Tom Hanks said wow that's a tough call I'd probably go with silly putty because of the egg I love the egg was a dual color egg just make it make you take a lamb it too hard then you never see it again yeah yeah well all that's super ball the
super balls the one super balls the head too go for the newspapers yeah I went nuts when they came out with the super ball mini do you remember the super ball mini oh the little little one gets faster I would look smaller yeah and you would slam it on the sidewalk it would fly I want a
bigger ones I can fucking find it yeah sometimes they just go and that's it you get one out of it and then it's like down the street so the yeah so you wonder is our kids having as much fun today as we had the stingray was in there too you that thing right yeah everything I loved everything it
was so little indulgent I I have to copy I just love stingrays this no reason for that to be in there oh Steve Schwinn and the yeah well we had to kill somebody because I wanted to do the the full serial honors burial that was the bit I wanted with the milk and I think the
rubbing out with the movie was like if this joke wasn't your thing just wait a second right here's another one well we're comics the rhythm I'm not film I'm not a filmmaker I'm comic I mean I asked I asked my I have a 13 year old nephew and I said what is the equivalent of like a
slinky for you to kill time when you said great question online porn so I said a joke no that's sad and slinky would get all caught up only because you're never gonna enjoy sex you're never gonna enjoy it no and that's a shame isn't it I had a slinky I know they ruined it they
ruined it I know we had a playboy magazine at the dump yeah to work a little bit speak a little bit I agree with it just count me as don't like porn for kids yeah take a stand who said this I quit porn Chris yeah so funny just do the pace without the tells me every day also the
fingers on the shoulder spade spade listen to me he had one of the greatest lines I've ever heard about how to be a professional comedian okay we were talking the other day we did the Kevin Hearts Mark Twain Prize he he was talking about he was talking to some young comic I'm not
gonna mention that name either and he was telling him he said to the kid what do you do during the day he says I don't hang out don't do anything during the day and he says to the kid during the day is when you make the money I go yeah we collected at night but we make it during the day so that
line he and I really love that line that that's that should be the code for simp but I think all the young kids today they do they're either doing these they're selling or they're writing yeah but you you make money during the day you collected at night so you go out in the world and that's how you
get this yeah yeah yeah look at things do you have any bit that you haven't that's just in your brain right now and you haven't done it in your act just the thing you're working on good sons and he want to sell one well I would just I had a through a notion I don't have any
maybe you're trying to fix it right now I probably have thought of this a question announcements I've got a little bit of a grip on it that I did earlier to you yes no more stop announcing I have a question right one question well that's in your right question yeah I'm working
I'm working you found the trip that was a bit so that was I kind of knew that and I was sort of it's an assist yeah that was an assist I mean yeah so that's one that's I'm working on this because the phone is always going in and out of the car mmm talking to someone I'm taking you into the car
now I'm going for a ride can I just have a conversation I'm putting you in my ear oh okay that's funny I dropped my wife said the other day I just dropped you in the trash so oh that's really funny that's a concept I love it that's so much more you that you can run with it you're
giving it to me I am I don't want it I think that's too sweet that's too nice it's something you could I have enough yeah you've already done so much for me just having me on the show you're our biggest guests in quite a long time that's cool you're so give me I don't want to waste
the these notes that I had about the movie okay that I liked I missed the first hour of our bird Kennedy we love billbirds yeah you sounded like Kennedy even his regular voice pretty much yeah well billbear is the only guy at a Boston that I've liked since Kennedy
yeah long time yeah those are my two the only two guys at a Boston I like yeah I've met twins here yeah so they are wearing the tradition gone I think uh some meetings over yeah a lot I mean you know him as Kennedy was so did you have to cutney friends out of the movie and tell them
no no brush over that one okay um what what is your favorite scene in the movie if you have one or one in one the pop tart in launching in the toaster which I stole from Ron Howard's Apollo 13 yeah I took the same track right uh spirit in the sky Norman Greenbaum very cool those pop tart launches
I just like the energy of that that was like I felt like I was filmmaking there it's like a felt like a big bite inside a toast to that I think the rock get yeah yeah yeah yeah and the and the funeral scene uh which was a scene that a lot of people did not want to do they said it won't work
it's not on story uh and I said yeah but this is why you may comedy movies sure to do something really silly that you think we'll play right Mel Brooks the cowboys come into the busby Brooklyn and what else that whole movie to me is to just get to that and Harvey Carmen saying
raisinets at the candy counter do you remember that yes yeah count vodka was that one of the five gillies hysterical but that just pitch is peppered with somebody jokes that it's harder to remember all but I just remember going oh it's still going it's still going it's still funny
it's still funny it's over yeah for it for it's John Ham's moment with Melissa McCarthy when they're floating yes flirting yeah it's just a very worked really I thought John Ham was stood out to it were they all these cameras you had now so serious yeah yeah about advertising yeah why
are they so mean it's just advertising it's so cool about doing that and doing that with uh uh John slaughtering yeah they were really amazing to do that that was a dream that you thought could we get them yeah yeah yeah yeah they would do it yeah so that the other thing I wanted to do
that I couldn't I almost did was Chris rock was going to be the MC of the bowling spoon awards and we shot that right after the Will Smith slap and I was going to have somebody come up on the stage and have Chris punch him out as they got there and then and then Chris wasn't he wasn't up
for that to perform he was still a little shook from that event yeah but that was good that was what that scene was going to be but Suddrick saved the day I love Suddrick yeah he was instantly hilarious in that moment do you think that would have been funny if Chris as an MC of the bowling
spoons somebody goes up on stage and he lays them out I didn't without the Will Smith thing I think it's funny it's just sort of there's a still kind of residual darkness around that moment yeah isn't that what we're attracted to I don't know I just say I just say we were in the writers
room I'd be sitting with you and spine going I could be let's think about that yeah but if you if Chris is there wants to do it you get it I don't know if it would have worked you can always trim it it was an idea always get the shot yeah yeah so what was your first cut how long was it because the
movie's like 85 minutes 84 minutes and there's not a chance in hell I was going to go over that I don't know how long the first cut was but I definitely pulled out at least 15 wait you you had a number in your head first oh yeah wow Woody I what I do the Woody come Woody would go 81 82
mm-hmm and everyone's happy no one's not happy with any call it's too short we do we do comedy we get in we get out you say I think you said about stand up I maybe asked you just off the record yeah party or something like at a certain point it gets to be people like even rock with his
specials on an hour and a half I go why don't you save a half for the next one just do a tight hour and he goes nah I think they expect it from him maybe but I was like I'm from the school of after an hour it starts to get what they expect is not our business it is our business don't give
them what they want you think they know what they want if they knew what they want they wouldn't have to pay to get it let's get that on I'm sure yeah I I feel like oh when I'm watching someone and it goes over a certain amount I start to lose and that's when I start to go God I love comedy
I'm starting to go fuck how long is it you can ruin it so fast yeah and I learned that watching Jerry Lewis and Sammy Davis at the Sands in Vegas in Vegas and Jerry came out he did 45 a Sammy came at they did another hour together and then Sammy started singing and it was like
this is not a good I always felt the Jerry Lewis telephone was too long but Danny and Sammy can go on along I was sitting with Kevin Pollock's about to go on the tonight show east out of his mind I was just there visiting so excited Sammy's singing
so Sammy gets the thing cuz the name I love and then he breaks it down break it down and I don't break it down love the can no and I just see Kevin just deflating in the green room there's a knock maybe next time I want to hear more stuff you like that makes me feel good
I made me laugh at your first name is is a trap pop trap did you see it coming that we were gonna know it was a mirror image yeah the silly putty but I like because you know I knew it's I didn't change I didn't know how you're gonna find figure that out we didn't need that and
that was a great yeah we didn't either doesn't make sense exactly yeah it's the exact reverse words a letters right so I said if he's fucking cheating this no I didn't because it's a big discussion of should we show it on the silly putty spelled backwards or make it say pop tart
yeah back and forth and that we we like to do what it would really look like with the letters from backwards funny when it's a bad name and everyone's like yes yeah we've got it sounds horrible nothing snap crackle pop bobby moana hand those three characters yeah Mikey that wasn't bobby
moana hand that was no bobby he was shepard I saw the movie Mikey day I don't know you did a great movie recently do you still want to do another these you can do my wrong missy yeah wrong missy was great wrong missy thank you but uh yeah I I I when I wrote was Theo Vaughan you know Theo

troubled times mr. Seinfeld I will pay money for you to stop talking do you have to get the cast to stay to shoot the song yes at the end of the day when they're tired yes how was that no one I knew it anything extra on a day is like I gave a spike gets all the credit for that I could not
ask them he would he thought it would work I never thought it would work it does work because the song is cute and it just gets you off you know you mean the cow farting thing when you're running through the cow yeah yeah what did you think what were you thinking during that that actually

mm-hmm yeah you're like oh I'm rich that's right excuse me don't be mad at me because I stayed at a superstar you're like and then they tell you you can feed the 1000 cattle if you want but yeah you know I stay in hotels in this last you know when I'm on the road doing my gigs and as you know
a lot of it's the downtown hotel so you don't even have any feel for the city it's a place like when I was in Arizona I never went downtown Phoenix so I'm like hey I'm in your town people like oh no one goes down there but you're immersed in some neighborhood so you get a feel of where
you're gonna move one day if you are or just to get a feel yeah we we got one with a pool once a different one with our private private pool which is really nice yeah and two bedrooms is nice if somebody snores also you know and I had someone above me with kids stomping I love kids with
their stomping and screaming in the middle of the night they're singing and I'm like if these are if these are ghosts I'm not gonna like it but you know when you get your own Airbnb you know Airbnb get your own place the kitchen it's it's you're not meeting people in the elevator you're not
you know you're just doing your own thing and I think it's it's nice consider air and Airbnb for your next adventure you won't regret it do you still have this Mount Rushmore is just something someone lied about Richard prior Carlin Cosby Riggles is that close yeah yeah even I do think I
started the Mount Rushmore trend oh by saying the Mount Rushmore of something oh I think and and my my advisor Tom Keeney agrees that that's I did it with Riggles to introduce Riggles what's your comedy stand up Mount Rushmore you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but
if you go back to there's there's two ways for me to think of it like now looking back but like in the 70s they were all magic I saw prior on Ed Sullivan doing regular stand up of course and they were all magic to me Jonathan winners um absolutely I think that and and you know um
Carlin you know Carlin you have to put it in there and I think that that carcar is winter as you go one more slot well then mid 70s like Steve Martin peak Steve oh yeah yeah that's pretty great group and Robin Williams who sorry right at time yeah we are
out of time who I thought later only so we have so much stone about Robin and what Robin he's very he's like oh I think I might have taken the title from you you know he was very very shy about stuff I said I try to take your whole act I mean his the art of the thing that he
presented was a Shakespearean actor right is pushed out on the stage with no material right and that was the brilliant conceit yes and he's just wandering around and I don't know what I'm doing except his brave those are going to sit this is a first be and he can go and so that was his
genius so I think those Steve Martin and Robin at that time for me the rhythm of Steve um yeah excuse me the freedom of Steve his freedom on stage is still stunning to watch we'll talk about a performer of expressing joy yeah the happy idiot so likeable yeah so so and you know
but a very calculated yeah meticulous meticulously calculated to be funny slash dumb it's got to be funny dumb it's very hard to do yes and in the recipe the acting of it because he we're we're talking with him and he goes we've talked about the excuse me and he goes oh it's just a catch phrase
but I go no no no I saw you do it at the boarding house you say can I get a blue spot yeah right kind of get a blue spot and and you work your way to that right excuse me I just ask for a blue spot can I know as a kid I like you know he also says he goes that's the brilliant thing then you
excuse me you think it's an actual screw up when I was listening to an album and I'm sitting there riveted and he goes can I get a blue spot for this and then he then he waits and he goes blue spot and then he goes red or blue and then he keeps inching out and then he stops flying and he goes
you know it's funny I come here I get up I write jokes he does a whole fucking set up and you think so I'm like someone actually fucked up you know and it made the album that's what I think you asked me to name your mountain rush when I think I could spend an hour and I wouldn't
get it I could not guess your comedy stand up taste yeah but the audience and I are done to hear it we want to hear your you can go I have one more I'm gonna talk I don't think you can't add anymore it's the game Jerry it's the best guy for me yeah on talk shows the best guy ever
Rickles Rickles Rickles okay I had to say it yeah the waffles and Rodney interestingly no one ever talked about this probably shouldn't the two most exciting guys on the tonight show tough to do an hour for both of them oh they better style yeah yeah yeah yeah that's why he had
the band Rickles yeah yeah yeah the genius of him no joke it was so dry as a kid it just made me laugh he'd be out there with Johnny that doesn't know the show style yeah it's in the corner give him a cookie pack him and I yeah yeah there's no real joke it's just oh yeah those are jokes those are
jokes well they're just it's that's it's that's it's that's it's that's it's not a cookie yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah before you can answer so you know why and I just want to answer because those guys were
a hundred meter sprinters they were sprinters right and then other comedians are long distance middle distance guys Bob Newhart Bob Newhart long distance from him so that's hard I couldn't even do it come on get it get it start with Jerry no no no no I don't know I know I I'd probably because
the changes over the years that's why I was asking you yours because you've seen so many since Rickles that has anyone even put up a fight that's a different question but the question would be God dang I never even thought it I know I know Steve Marshall's is one way to do it I know Steve
Martin for sure because I listen to his album so much and uh prior prior we had his eight tracks if I have to have a blocker in there you do you do you gotta have one you do it's out of four if you want to keep doing the show yeah um that's Long Beach that's his special Long Beach Long Beach
yeah that is yeah is that what it was or something well he walks out well Long Beach where he walks out the crowd is still coming in there's still coming in opening up for him to open for someone he's doing it patty Lebel yeah he's he's filming a special that he they said and there's a walk in it
is that possible no no no patty Lebel open that sounded crazy but that yeah crazy so he walks out is what you're saying he walks out when they don't even introduce me yeah there's no introduction to the crowd still coming in and talking I love it yeah just with my gag sorry yeah my best
favorite part is because you like a little bit come on David I mean if it because we I'm going to go back early like you did because that's what's shaping right I would maybe put Carly because I did go see him even at the celebrity theater in Arizona when I was 14
yeah and it what about Sam Sam Kenison yeah I saw what about Bernie Mac Bernie Mac I didn't see much of Bernie Mac when I want to laugh and I'm just you know that's who I YouTube you know you know get out of the desert oh yeah yeah where the phone is go where
there yeah go where the food and I saw him at Finney bones you might remember Finney go with the Arizona and I would get be an MC same thing drove to his condo add me go get him beer and do all that and then he had a pile of coke and he said uh you want some and I go now and he
goes okay you can stay and he was Robert Townsend and Robert Townsend said he didn't want to be a part of that so he goes can you run me to my room so I drove him to his hotel well thirsty he came back to hang out with the kinesis because I love him so much yeah and I did want to do
coke and I didn't want to do his cuz I didn't want to look like a miss one of my favorite kinesis and lines is from a movie the Rodney movie what is it called back to school back to school when he asks about uh why we went to Vietnam and he goes is she right before he goes into the ring you
know yeah is she right holding the rage you know okay I thought I thought kinesis and when you said that and I go I don't know there's too many people think of but kinesis yeah I had to say it's not really fair it really shocked me kinesis and I was like fuck it when you see people
that really put you on your heels like yeah and you go fuck that's new that's a new angle that's new yeah but there are comics and I and I'll I'll say that I think we're all pretty good at you can see you don't need an hour you can see one joke and you say it might be a fluke
yep if it's good and if you see another good one you go okay he's good that's right that's all right so the westwood comedy store I went there like I was there like a Tuesday night midnight maybe eight ten people yeah um first guy comes up dressed like Elvis you know and he's
counting going around like that and he goes with the cigarette yeah yeah you know dice dice I'm gonna get you you know and he was so electric so fuck then kinesis came up oh the same show he goes there is no god and he took his beret off and he was bald there's no god and he got a guy so
frenzy the guy got up and took his pants down yeah yeah it's just like I'd never think like it I tried to get a certain work I couldn't get him work because I went back to San Francisco yeah and they go what is he done who is he now you'll find out I also love Pablo Francisco do you know
him all about him absolutely love that guy that because he now that's the kind of guy I don't see anymore Sam same energy yeah remember those there was guys that craze they're crazy um altman yeah Jeff almost those guys I feel like we don't see a lot of that kind of that energy
yes sure madness madness barely under control you don't know what's called yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah did he later on do the same way played a video game character with music and lights and he's walking around like a who Pablo oh yeah no probably does a lot of techno club
techno I watch him all the time all the time just because I want to laugh I uh uh altman Bernie Bernie Mack uh I love watching Sam's first letterman and then I'll watch the second one because I like the first one he was nervous and the second one he knew this stick works this
character works yeah the long coat yeah and I love the way he took the mic nobody took the mic the way he's on a stand on letterman in those days he handed to you yeah like that or you use the boom which was so weak I was on a tonight show with Carson and Sam was out there doing his
thing and then he starts to do something you're not supposed to do I guess yeah kind of x rated and I'm Johnny's and x-maid going oh Sam oh Sam do himself oh Sam no no don't shame don't you think he's fucking up Dana really no I didn't say that but I was there Carson said no Sam oh Sam
he's not there just how great was Carson he really did love comics yeah you know for all his other political structures that he put comics through you know they created the hierarchical structure to I don't know why Jim McColley that was how you talking about no I'm sure it was maybe it was
Fred DeCord of a you come on you don't sit down and told you're approved yeah you don't just come out not to stand up until you're approved it was a hierarchy that they built even though we were the best part of the show yeah people wait for that stand I remember your first
that do you I don't remember this did you get called over no but he called me back out I walk behind the curtain and he made me come back out and take about you killed that hard no I didn't how it was but he liked it I was not happy with it I thought it was good but everybody was
killing and I didn't know in those days that if I don't have a mic in my hand I can't do it my my thing doesn't work I used the boom I used the boom and I don't I can't do it so different yeah I can't make my stuff work with a boom well you don't have any dynamic without a mic
then you can go a little bit yeah no vocal dynamic yeah and you can't move yeah physically yeah yeah and you're so used to every set you're doing is practicing like this right and you walk out in the one that matters you're like what am I doing I what are you doing so what are you excited about
doing David in the near term okay that's a good one I I think movies are hard but I like them if I like to do them right so what do you like about it I think I like when they come out when they're down when they're like when they come out yeah they're the process they're kind of doing any of these
sometimes they're fun to do and then it's fun but if if if you're just doing it for the money which I've done in the past if you're doing it you don't love it that's brutal yeah but you can tell which ones and but when you get one that's like like the wrong missy that does well that
right becomes worldwide yes and then Ted calls then then you feel like oh one works and I really like when a comedy works and you go oh it actually worked the whole way because the interesting was reading it and it's funny and it gets funnier and doing scenes about halfway through I go
wait we still have these scenes do that are supposed to be pretty funny if it works this actually might be good and you never know something interesting about movies is no one has it solved no one has it crack or they just make good movies you cannot fucking if you go over to 100 movies
AFI and you're looking to watch a movie or even like best science fiction they're like 10 good science fiction movies let's just I mean obviously comedies are category greatest comedies ever made oh and or movies that we think are what we would call great comedic movies that is a short list
right what I was going to say in terms of the stand up you say years and I'll agree our first exposure Jerry to funniness yeah was probably Evan Costell and meets Frank design yep well the TV Jerry Lewis movies meets Frank loves all the more movies yeah I remember those being big so
the fun of movies are like you're making this movie and then you think of oh you're like those guys well you're just you're you're trying to do something like they did yes almost impossible and they didn't make every movie it was great no Evan Costell goes to Mars trick is you have to meet
Frankenstein those guys aren't their movies are not great if you wanted to show an alien how funny Laurel and Hardy was you're not going to show them the features you're going to show them the shorts well here's I have okay I won't say this question look how do you feel because someone
was on the podcast recently and there's Michael Keaton and said as a kid he didn't really get the three suitages you know and then it now he loves that that was not a fan but I watched I watched anyway because of curly curly was so gifted such a genius yes the other two especially Moe
you're not funny well they were in their early 60s oh they start I was like Moe would try to get them back on track though okay when things are things are going so he's a lot of the time studio exact what's it like going out of film to you yeah go yeah five six uh
I am not in any way comparing what I did in any way shape or form but I watch blazing saddles the other day and I felt like oh I'm in this universe I'm in this universe this the reality tone of what I of this one is in that universe of Mel Brooks having a GOV on the back of the jacket
yeah you know the big band in the desert you know things that we know are not really happening yeah but we we like punches the horse yes yes knocks out so uh yeah wow um I would probably have to go Marx brothers um I think the Marx brothers they're pacing today is still quick yes you know uh
in the way they work it out yeah the time the road the pacing the complexity of the bits uh physics the physical bits with dialogue yeah so I would I would pick one of theirs there's a few of course that are great what about something like airplane it's sort of airplane absolutely absolutely
uh you know Manhattan Woody you know I don't think is it is funny I don't know it's uh is midnight in Paris is I think a great way great and and funny great absolutely great you know yeah can you write do you fight yeah you know the guy fight him yeah yeah no and and you know um oh and Wilson
was the perfect surrogate voice for Woody yeah incidentally because Woody's like Jim should that no you're a terrific woman and then oh and psych yeah wonderful I was just wondering if you maybe want to go to a museum today was he in the sign fell not the the no that sign fell
sketch not the Woody Allen I think that was what's good we did a Woody Allen sketch oh really we did want the chase the one I saw the day is we today with you play the the game show host with me and Schneider and Sandler stand up and win yeah yeah yeah I think you're joined that was funny
that was fun the way you played the host was very very funny how about when you're the T-zone energy is waning guys I know where where is it when you play the teacher and we're all in the audience yeah yeah and you go what's the capital and Farley goes I guess and you guys not journey
because you put the stand down I think it was me Sandler part that was I like seeing that it showed up and I was like oh it's so fun to see old ones it's like a group of everybody right and it's funny and you were there and it's funny okay that's it I gotta go Jerry I gotta wrap this up I
got a million things going so Jerry's time fell what's what's next oh what's next you just done the movie are you gonna get a kid remember when you modeled I did yeah a lot of people like that how do you do with reviews because I love bad reviews I love them you love bad reviews yes why wouldn't
you hate it it makes it of course I didn't make it for you I made a movie that bombed in 1988 called Opportunity Knox and I'm just I'm casually talking to I'm casual you do I didn't hear it when he was talking to be a movie yeah it's a Wednesday the movie's coming out Friday yeah
Bill Murray very seriously says to me can you can you get up get out of the country I mean could you go to the woods I mean he's assuming the reviews will literally destroy me really anyway you could hike somewhere and just be away from all the things but yeah I got some bad ones yeah but
as comedians it's not fair because we have we have Iron Man suits that we wear in show business which this was the biggest thing that I experienced doing this movie seeing the lives of these actors and how different it is from our lives they are away they they to have a house like this like you
have they're sweating out each gig this I have to kill in this this has to work or things get it yeah or there could be a downturn you and I we don't think like that yes we want our stuff to work but you got this metal Iron Man suit that nobody can get off of you you can go out and work
yeah you can go out that's why ever you want it was revolutionary to John Love it's when I convinced him to try it yeah how's he doing with it he loves it yeah he goes because the movies are they edit they cut my part all yeah then he goes he goes I go to the club they go here's your
dressing room there's a stay yeah I do my time and they give me a check you could not believe the arithmetic thing that stand up is it's kind of the most interesting thing about our careers is we lived through what it was at the beginning to what it is now it changed underneath us yes and I
give a tetsu rena is a tremendous amount of credit for this he he changed who comedians are in the culture he changed yeah definitely yeah I went on Burke christeners podcast he goes I'm I'm playing Berlin tomorrow night wow he you know these Netflix specials are global yeah you know
