Speaker 1 (00:05): Kyle Mug Lachlan. Speaker 2 (00:08): Oh, that's funny. Speaker 1 (00:10): It says that? No. You made that up. I said it. No plan to get our mugs on a mug here. No discussion. Speaker 3 (00:22): What's the status of the mugs with our mugs on it? We're working on it. Speaker 1 (00:28): We're mocking up designs. Speaker 3 (00:30): We'll run them by you soon. Mm-hmm. I bet you are mocking them up. Speaker 1 (00:37): I really have Casey doing everything here. Yeah. Speaker 3 (00:41): And he's got to work on, well, I was going to say he's got to work on his movie, but his movie's done. Speaker 1 (00:46): Do you know everyone here, Andrea? Speaker 2 (00:51): I mean, do you ever really know a person? Speaker 1 (00:54): We do know Richie. Speaker 3 (00:55): We know Richie. Speaker 1 (00:56): Richie. You get all of it pretty fast. Speaker 3 (01:00): It's a shallow well, which can be so refreshing. You know, there's still water in those. Speaker 2 (01:06): Especially on a hot day. Speaker 1 (01:06): Easier to reach. Yeah. Speaker 3 (01:09): So we know Richie entirely in a way that is deeper than anyone I've ever known. God, I hate to say it. I think I know Casey too. Yeah. I don't think there's a lot more there beyond what is being presented. But you, I have no idea what you're doing. Speaker 2 (01:31): Neither do I, really. Speaker 1 (01:32): Thanks for coming here today, Andrea. Speaker 2 (01:35): Thanks so much for having me. Speaker 1 (01:37): You wanted to do stand-up comedy. Speaker 2 (01:40): Mm-hmm. Speaker 1 (01:42): And you're doing it. Speaker 2 (01:43): Mm-hmm. Speaker 3 (01:44): What are some of the topics that you skewer up there on stage? Speaker 1 (01:48): Oh. Speaker 2 (01:49): Thank you for the question. Speaker 1 (01:50): Can I tell you something of yours that I really like recently? Because I know you do very topical stuff. Speaker 2 (01:55): Yes. Speaker 1 (01:58): With this Paramount and all that and everyone's like getting their pitchforks out. Speaker 2 (02:05): Contraction. Speaker 1 (02:06): And you say, everyone is allowed to love movies. We have to let Everyone be allowed to love movies. Not funny, really, but it was precious to me at the time as I'm thinking, okay, so this guy's not allowed to love movies? (02:29): What are we doing? Speaker 3 (02:31): That actually is something that had been stuck in my craw, and it finally got jarred loose by some of your stand-up material, which, again, was not.... Speaker 1 (02:42): Overtly humorous. You do this, you take this all, yes. Speaker 3 (02:46): Yes, so it wasn't necessarily, it wasn't necessarily humor in a traditional sense, but the boldness of the statement did kind of rock my world, you know? Because confession time, I had been someone who had said, is this guy, (03:06): should he? Speaker 2 (03:08): Is allowed to like movies as much. Speaker 1 (03:09): And that's Casey. This is like among the things we know about Casey is he's very protective of like who is allowed to love movies and who isn't. Speaker 3 (03:17): Well, and he tells you, oh, you don't actually love movies. Speaker 2 (03:19): Yeah, he'll show you the list. But he kind of shows it too fast so you can't really see. Speaker 3 (03:24): No, you can't find, because he's like, you're not on a list of people who loves movies. And I'm like, well, I didn't even get to check. Yeah. It's not alphabetical or anything. Speaker 2 (03:31): It's a pretty small font as well. Speaker 3 (03:34): It's really small and it's intentionally a little blurry. So it's like, yeah, you can't see if you're on the list, but he just tells you you're not. And I thought, well, if I'm not allowed to love movies, which Casey told me I'm not, certainly this guy's not allowed. So when you said that. Speaker 2 (03:51): Yeah. Yeah. Well, the comedian's number one job, right, is to be perfect. Truthful. It's not to be funny. Speaker 1 (04:00): Number one. Number one. Speaker 3 (04:03): And it's a short list, the jobs the comedian has. Speaker 2 (04:06): Yeah, it's actually very different than Casey's. Speaker 1 (04:08): It's eight things on the list? Speaker 2 (04:10): Eight jobs. Like Hanukkah. Speaker 1 (04:11): Yes. Eight responsibilities. The eight jobs of Hanukkah. Speaker 2 (04:14): Yes. Mm-hmm. So, yeah. Speaker 1 (04:17): And be truthful. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Et cetera. Speaker 2 (04:21): Mm-hmm. Say it into a microphone. Speaker 1 (04:25): Yeah. You must. Speaker 2 (04:27): You must. Speaker 3 (04:28): Because they have to be able to hear the truth. Speaker 2 (04:32): Yeah. And then. Speaker 3 (04:36): Wear a tie. Ideally wear a tie. Speaker 2 (04:38): Yeah. Yeah. What are some of your. Speaker 1 (04:42): We gave you this hat and I know that this is your truth. Speaker 3 (04:46): Yeah. Speaker 1 (04:46): That like you just let it sit here and didn't even touch it and didn't even. Did she take the cardboard out? No. Speaker 2 (04:52): No. Speaker 3 (04:54): So the hat is a gift for someone else. You've received the hat and I can feel the hat will be regifted. So who's going to end up with this bad bird on their head? Speaker 1 (05:04): On the old noggin. Speaker 2 (05:07): You know, it's less about wanting to gift it to someone else and more about wanting to maybe regift it to myself later this evening. Speaker 1 (05:18): Wow. Speaker 3 (05:19): It's a nice hat for you. Speaker 2 (05:20): Yeah. So what I like to do when I'm given a hat Nightcap. That's fun. Speaker 1 (05:27): Little nightcap. Speaker 2 (05:29): I hear that. Speaker 3 (05:31): And I don't know if that fits with the, if that's. Speaker 1 (05:34): Maybe you hear that because a lot of people come out of the show, it's like they don't even hear. Speaker 3 (05:39): It does feel like they're not hearing. Speaker 1 (05:41): Almost anything that we're doing. Speaker 3 (05:42): Especially what I say, but especially the funny stuff. Speaker 1 (05:46): That I say. Speaker 2 (05:47): Yeah, well, a lot of people, they have all that stuff in their ears. They put all this stuff in their ears. Speaker 1 (05:50): I've seen these videos. Speaker 2 (05:52): It sounds like you're on the internet a lot, Hayes. Speaker 3 (05:54): I have. Speaker 2 (05:55): Like you're watching my stuff. Speaker 3 (05:57): He's showing me stuff. Speaker 2 (05:59): He's showing me. Speaker 1 (06:00): Seeing this stuff. It's a party there and it's 24-7. Speaker 3 (06:04): You know that's right. Speaker 1 (06:08): Party's going all day and all night on there. Speaker 3 (06:10): Oh, yeah. And everyone's invited. Speaker 1 (06:14): You can say whatever you want. Speaker 2 (06:16): Yeah, you can talk to people in the comments if you want. You don't have to do that. Speaker 3 (06:20): You can, you can, but there's consequences as well. It's just like the real world. You can say whatever you want, but some of what you say can have consequences. Speaker 2 (06:29): Can I just say what you're saying is a lot like what I do. That sort of dynamic. You can say it, but people might feel a type of way. And that's going to come right back at you. But can you follow rule two? Can you pick up the microphone? Yes. Speaker 1 (06:51): I want to say, and people don't like when I talk about what women are wearing on the show. Speaker 3 (06:57): That's become something that I think is overblown. Speaker 1 (07:00): And I honestly, like it has frozen me for like many, many episodes. Speaker 3 (07:06): He basically only does it when we have female guests, which only happens maybe once a month. Speaker 2 (07:09): Yeah. Speaker 3 (07:10): So at that point, huh? Speaker 2 (07:12): You call them females. Speaker 1 (07:14): Yes. Yes. These females. Speaker 3 (07:19): These females in their clothing. Speaker 1 (07:21): They're wearing clothes. Speaker 3 (07:22): And you had a comment specifically about what they wear. Speaker 1 (07:24): Which is just, I just don't want to disappoint you. Everyone has been coming on the show dressing to do the Halloween episode. Speaker 2 (07:32): Okay. Speaker 3 (07:33): Is that right? Speaker 1 (07:34): Yes. Everyone just assumes. Speaker 3 (07:36): Like, oh, well, if they want me here around, you know, Freaktober, then like they must want me to, yeah. Speaker 1 (07:47): And we did it already. I don't remember with who. I just know that we did it. Speaker 2 (07:51): Yeah. Could this have been perhaps like a previous year? Because you guys have been doing this show for a while. When's it time to wrap it up? Speaker 1 (08:00): It was. Speaker 2 (08:00): It was. Speaker 1 (08:01): It was a previous year. You're saying it's time to wrap up the show? Speaker 2 (08:03): I was just wondering, like, when is it time to wrap it up? Speaker 3 (08:06): When is it time to call it a day on the show? Speaker 2 (08:09): Yeah. Speaker 3 (08:10): Well, we're about eight minutes into this one, and I'm feeling pretty good. Speaker 2 (08:14): I feel really good. Speaker 1 (08:15): Yeah. It'll tell us. Speaker 3 (08:19): Who? Jack O'Brien. Speaker 1 (08:22): The president of the network. Yeah. Speaker 2 (08:25): That's so nice that you have sort of a direct line. Speaker 1 (08:28): Direct. Speaker 2 (08:29): Mm-hmm. Speaker 1 (08:29): Yeah. Very, almost too direct. Speaker 3 (08:34): Sometimes I can deal with a little bit of misdirection or something. Maybe a ricochet rather than it coming right at me. Speaker 2 (08:42): Yeah, kind of a journey. Speaker 1 (08:43): Don't you think that stand-up could be more fun if you had a boss? Speaker 3 (08:49): Isn't that nice? That you have a quota to meet. A quota of jokes? Yeah, you go over the numbers. You said it, not me. Speaker 2 (09:00): I mean, I think I'm my own boss, but I'm my own really abusive boss. Speaker 3 (09:06): You do jokes or you do stories? Speaker 2 (09:09): Yeah. Oh. Oh, wow. Mm-hmm. Speaker 3 (09:12): There's jokes inside the story. Speaker 2 (09:16): It's, yeah, yeah. And also vice versa. Speaker 3 (09:19): Is it like Bo Burnham? Speaker 1 (09:21): It's a little bit. Speaker 2 (09:24): More like the New York Times story. like we were talking about earlier. It's really long. Speaker 1 (09:29): Very topical. All the jokes that's fit to tell. Speaker 2 (09:32): Yeah, and a lot of the jokes, you really just need to read the headline to get the gist. Speaker 1 (09:38): Yes, yeah. Speaker 2 (09:39): And again, they're not funny per se. Speaker 3 (09:42): We talk about relationships at all. Because I'm online as well, and I'm seeing some observations about some of these dynamics that. Well, they're reflective at times of my own experience, and sometimes even when they're not, I still kind of recognize something about humanity in them that. (10:04): It does make me chortle, I'll admit it. Speaker 1 (10:06): These females are playing in our face. Speaker 3 (10:08): Well... That's exactly, exactly what I'm talking about. Whether I've experienced it or not. Speaker 2 (10:15): Yeah. Speaker 3 (10:16): When someone says that on stage. Speaker 1 (10:17): And I have not personally experienced that. It feels true. Yeah. Speaker 2 (10:21): And everyone knows someone who knows a female that played in their face. When you're reading a news story, do you guys pretend that you're the characters? Speaker 1 (10:34): No. a news story. Speaker 2 (10:39): Yeah. Like when you're reading a news story, this is. Speaker 1 (10:42): I mean, I wish I could pretend, but more and more now I am the characters. Speaker 3 (10:47): No need to pretend. Speaker 1 (10:49): I read something. I'm trying to read something about like the world. Speaker 3 (10:52): Yeah. Speaker 1 (10:52): And it's like, it might as well be say dear diary. Speaker 3 (10:55): Yeah. Oh, let me educate myself about what really matters. You know, that's happening today. And it's like, it's all the damn shit you did. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 1 (11:04): And it's about the, They found the car that I got hit by or whatever. Speaker 2 (11:10): So are a lot of your diary entries about that? Speaker 1 (11:13): I think it would be weird to, I guess, leave that out in my diary when something like that happens to me. Literally impactful, yes. Nothing that interesting today. I just got smeared all over the pavement again. Speaker 2 (11:26): Well, that's kind of funny because you're starting out almost facetiously, like nothing really big happened. Speaker 1 (11:33): Well, you could do it. Speaker 3 (11:34): You should then get into it. But in that sense, you weren't leaving it out either. You said it would be weird for me to leave it out, but then in your reenactment, you pretty immediately got to it and put it in. Speaker 1 (11:45): It was too weird. It was too weird to leave it out. Speaker 3 (11:48): I guess it could be like, nothing interesting happened to me, just had a turkey sandwich, and then somebody's reading that and they go, wasn't this the day you got smeared all over the pavement? Speaker 2 (11:58): All the news that's weird to fit. Speaker 1 (12:02): Anyway, they found the car. Speaker 2 (12:05): That's wonderful. Speaker 3 (12:06): Was the car okay? Speaker 1 (12:09): The car actually is in the hospital. Speaker 2 (12:14): Wow. Car hospital? Speaker 3 (12:15): Wow. Speaker 1 (12:15): So people are really sad. It actually was so bad that it had to go to a human hospital. Is there a GoFundMe for the car? It had to go to MD Anderson. Speaker 3 (12:25): Is there anywhere that I can contribute to the car's medical bills? Speaker 1 (12:28): That is what the article is about. It's about the community getting together to support the car. Speaker 2 (12:35): Mm-hmm. I'd love to perform on this. Speaker 1 (12:39): Basically mowed my lawn. Speaker 3 (12:41): Is there a benefit, like a charity benefit? Speaker 1 (12:44): Okay. Yeah. Well, great. I guess that'll be tomorrow's headline news number one article. Speaker 3 (12:51): And you talk about the news a lot, too. Speaker 1 (12:53): Mm-hmm. Speaker 2 (12:55): Yeah. I talk about. Speaker 3 (12:56): What do you think about these clowns over in Washington, D.C.? Ugh. Speaker 2 (13:02): I wish they sent the clowns from the Elysian over to Washington, D.C. Then they would just be having sex. Speaker 3 (13:08): Yeah, then I could actually enjoy what was happening because, yes, they would become nude, you know. They would somehow try to involve me, an innocent audience member. Speaker 2 (13:17): Yeah, and you'd kind of feel like they're flirting with you almost in the audience. I don't feel like my congressperson's flirting with me in the audience. No, no. They're kind of like looking through me. Speaker 3 (13:28): Well, or they're flirting, yeah, with the person behind me. Yeah. It's always somehow the person behind me. Speaker 1 (13:34): But we gotta, help me out with this because it feels like there's no barrier to entry whatsoever into this world of clowning. Except for me. Speaker 3 (13:46): Right? The people involved seem to come from every walk of life except mine. Speaker 1 (13:53): Anyone can do this. But I can't. I'm not allowed to. Yeah. Speaker 3 (13:59): That struck me as well about this community that appeared to initially be overly inclusive. But they have drawn a firm line. And it's not a good feeling. Speaker 2 (14:15): Yeah. Speaker 1 (14:15): Have you done this? Speaker 2 (14:17): No, I'm actually also on the list. Speaker 1 (14:19): In the queue. Speaker 2 (14:20): Yeah. Speaker 3 (14:21): Yeah. Speaker 1 (14:23): Wait, this is a list of people that are not allowed to do it? Not allowed to do clowning. Yeah. Unbelievable how many lists there are. Speaker 3 (14:30): Casey probably makes the damn list. Speaker 2 (14:32): You know what I mean? Speaker 3 (14:32): He's finished with his movie list. Now it's who can't clown. Speaker 2 (14:35): Yeah, it's confusing because it's on the same list. It's just like indented down. Speaker 1 (14:39): And it's not, yes. Speaker 2 (14:41): Like just make a new note. Speaker 3 (14:42): Yes. Speaker 1 (14:43): Yes. And it alternates, but not in any pattern. So you're like, oh, there I am. I'm on a list I want to be on. Oh, that's actually the other list. Speaker 2 (14:52): Can I just say, if I might, lists are very easy to make organized and good. And I actually think what Casey is doing is hard. Speaker 3 (15:04): He's intentionally obfuscating, isn't he? Speaker 2 (15:07): Yeah. Kind of like those clowns in Washington. Mm-hmm. Speaker 3 (15:11): Yeah, I can't make heads or tails of some of these laws that they're doing. Speaker 2 (15:14): Kind of like the clowns. Like, I can't tell if they're upside, kind of like what they're doing with their bodies, especially the females. Speaker 1 (15:21): Yes, especially these females. They're playing right in our face. Speaker 3 (15:23): They play, they, the females do play right. Speaker 1 (15:26): In your face. Speaker 2 (15:26): Right in your face. Speaker 1 (15:27): Yes. Speaker 3 (15:28): A lot of lycra. There is a sense of play there. Speaker 2 (15:31): Yeah. And so if you were invited ultimately after all this time, would you kind of join that community? Speaker 1 (15:39): Yes. Yes. Speaker 2 (15:39): Yeah. Speaker 3 (15:39): Yes. Speaker 1 (15:40): Oh, absolutely. Yes. Right now. Right now. Speaker 2 (15:44): You can't wait till we're done recording. It's only like a 43. Speaker 1 (15:47): I can't wait. Speaker 3 (15:48): With the amount of buildup that has led to this moment, if somebody walked in here right now, if the red bastard himself were to come in and tap me on the noggin with his mighty wand and say, you have been chosen to provoke the audience with your comedic stylings, (16:10): I would never see Richie again. I mean, unless he wanted to attend a show. Speaker 1 (16:18): Yeah. Which we would be texting and emailing him to do every day for the rest of his life. Speaker 2 (16:25): Yeah, we can put you on the list. Speaker 3 (16:27): I'd be workshopping some stuff. Speaker 2 (16:29): Yeah. Speaker 3 (16:30): Workshopping some new sounds that I make. Nonverbal sounds. Speaker 2 (16:34): Back of the throat sounds as well. Speaker 1 (16:36): What are the venues these days? What are the hot venues? Oh, to perform stand-up? Speaker 3 (16:42): Yeah. Speaker 1 (16:42): If you know, you know spots. Speaker 3 (16:45): I know the main ones, but there's always some new hot ones, you know, sparking up. That only the comedians who are boots on the ground, getting out there, saying stuff into the microphone, truth. Number two. They are aware of it. Speaker 2 (17:01): Yeah. Speaker 1 (17:01): Where's, where's 2020, where do I go to find 2026 Lenny Boos? So in Glendale. Knew it. Knew it. Speaker 2 (17:13): Knew it. Speaker 1 (17:13): There's this stretch. Speaker 3 (17:15): Didn't I say, Hayes? Speaker 1 (17:17): You said. Speaker 3 (17:18): Didn't I say earlier, I bet it's in Glendale somewhere. Speaker 2 (17:23): So there's a stretch and it's a bunch of car dealerships, right? Speaker 3 (17:28): Yes. Speaker 2 (17:29): Down brand. Speaker 1 (17:29): Yes. Yes. Speaker 2 (17:31): It's not there. Speaker 1 (17:32): It's interesting. Speaker 3 (17:32): When I wanted to join the clown school, they said it's a stretch. Speaker 2 (17:37): Did you get that at the time? Like what? That that was kind of a joke? Speaker 1 (17:40): That they were referring to that part of. Speaker 2 (17:42): It was like an illusion, kind of like an homage. So yeah, it's not there, but it's like around the corner, kind of by Forest Lawn, like between the car dealership. Speaker 3 (17:54): Is it close to the Acura dealership or the Kia? Speaker 2 (17:58): Well, neither. It's like equidistant between the cemetery and that stretch of cars. It's like not quite... How do you... It's underground, I guess, is kind of what I'm getting at. Oh, okay. Speaker 3 (18:12): It's underground at the cemetery? Speaker 1 (18:13): Yeah. Speaker 3 (18:14): I've been meaning to go there myself. Speaker 2 (18:16): Yeah, you got to do some digging. But once you get there, it's so nice. It's really nice. Speaker 1 (18:22): It's nice. Speaker 2 (18:23): Yeah. Speaker 1 (18:23): Okay. I don't like that. Speaker 3 (18:26): Comedy does not belong in somewhere nice because it's foolish. Speaker 2 (18:31): Mm-hmm. Well, and by the way, if I could just clarify, when I say it's really nice, what I mean is sort of like, it's really not nice. Speaker 1 (18:40): Stinky. Which is nice. Speaker 3 (18:42): When I see comedy in some fancy theater, I say, but it's buffoonery. Speaker 2 (18:47): Yeah. Speaker 3 (18:47): It has no place in this ornate stage. Yes. I want it to be happening literally under garbage. Speaker 2 (18:56): And you always say. I don't like this bourgeois comedy. Speaker 3 (19:03): I am pissed at the bourgeois comedy. It's not for them, you know? Speaker 2 (19:09): They have their other stuff. Speaker 3 (19:11): It's for the people. Yeah. Speaker 1 (19:13): And so that's where the shows have gone. Speaker 2 (19:16): Underground. Speaker 1 (19:17): Underground. Where's Hot Tub? What happened to Hot Tub? Speaker 3 (19:21): Hot Tub's been gone for a minute. Speaker 1 (19:22): They went underground. Speaker 2 (19:23): Kurt is there right now setting up. Speaker 1 (19:26): Kurt and Kristen would. Speaker 2 (19:28): Kristen's on her way. Speaker 1 (19:30): Go up once a month and flay people alive on stage. Literally. Speaker 2 (19:37): Literally. Speaker 1 (19:38): Take strips of skin off. Speaker 3 (19:41): Yep. Speaker 2 (19:41): With a flail. Speaker 3 (19:44): The microphone was a machete. And the punchline was blood. Speaker 2 (19:52): Yes. And the audience members were plentiful. There were so many of them. Speaker 1 (20:02): Yeah, that's true. Speaker 2 (20:03): Because it was before COVID. Talk about timing. Speaker 3 (20:11): Comedic timing. Speaker 2 (20:14): Okay. Speaker 1 (20:15): Rhythms. Speaker 2 (20:18): So a lot of my jokes, and again, when I'm saying this, there's an asterisk, okay? Speaker 1 (20:24): Right, yeah. That's not what you would expect. Okay. Speaker 2 (20:28): Have you ever heard of iambic pentameter? Speaker 1 (20:36): So, and. Speaker 3 (20:38): At this point, I'm the one with the asterisk. Because I'm going to go way out on a limb and say no. Speaker 1 (20:43): You haven't heard of it. Speaker 3 (20:44): And I'm risking my entire ass when I say this. Speaker 2 (20:47): Yeah. Speaker 1 (20:48): But I. Speaker 3 (20:50): It sounds funny as hell. Speaker 1 (20:54): So I feel like... I sort of have my guard up right now. Speaker 2 (20:58): Yeah, I can see your body language is really unwelcoming. Speaker 1 (21:01): Because... Someone asked me that once, or a version of that, and it was to get me to say... I am bitch. Speaker 2 (21:12): Yeah. Speaker 1 (21:13): It was a trick to get me to say, I am bitch. Speaker 2 (21:16): Who would do that? Who did that? Speaker 1 (21:18): The red bastard. Speaker 2 (21:21): Is that why there's a sign outside that says the door is broken? Speaker 1 (21:26): That is an unsuccessful attempt to trick the red bastard from coming out here and tormenting us. Speaker 2 (21:33): Yeah. Speaker 1 (21:34): I'm not really familiar with his work beyond the sort of one-on-one Close-up comedy he does. Speaker 2 (21:43): Yeah. Speaker 1 (21:44): At my expense. Speaker 3 (21:45): Yeah. Speaker 2 (21:45): And he gets really close. Mm-hmm. It's like, can you back up? Mm-hmm. Speaker 1 (21:50): With magic, I understand why that's exciting. Speaker 2 (21:54): Yeah. Speaker 3 (21:54): Yeah, having it that close to you, it's like you can see that. Speaker 1 (21:58): There's, you know. Speaker 3 (21:59): Machination. No strings or, yeah, little devices that they're using. Speaker 1 (22:06): But... with the red. Speaker 3 (22:08): Bastards comedy, having it that close to you, I go, I think this would actually be the same experience or possibly even enhanced by just having a little more distance between us. Speaker 2 (22:19): Yeah, a little space. Speaker 3 (22:20): Yeah. Speaker 1 (22:20): Yeah. Speaker 2 (22:21): Because you can't really see what he's doing. Speaker 3 (22:24): No, there's not. Getting Haze to say, I am bitch, for example, that works from three feet away as well as it does, you know, tummies touching. Speaker 1 (22:36): Mm-hmm. Speaker 2 (22:37): Yeah, and transcribe, too. It's pretty funny. Oh, yes. Speaker 1 (22:40): He did have me transcribe it as well. Speaker 3 (22:42): Yeah, he made him write it down. Speaker 2 (22:43): With your opposite hand. Mm-hmm. So it would take longer. Mm-hmm. That's so funny. Speaker 3 (22:50): Well, and I've apologized before, and I'll apologize again for how hard I laughed when he made you say that. But there are certain elements, you know, of humor that are undeniable. I mean, rule number one is tell the truth, right? Speaker 2 (23:09): Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Speaker 1 (23:11): Right, Hayes? What's happening at the PAC these days? Speaker 3 (23:14): What's the PAC doing? Speaker 2 (23:15): The PAC is expanding. Speaker 1 (23:16): Oh, my God. Speaker 2 (23:20): Yeah, they've taken over the whole block. Speaker 1 (23:22): Now? Speaker 2 (23:23): Mm-hmm. Because when... So, in comedy... This. Speaker 1 (23:29): Is private equity? Is that what happened? Speaker 2 (23:32): Yeah, so comedy has sort of entered the private equity sphere. Okay. But because in comedy we do misdirects, right? Speaker 1 (23:41): Right, yeah. Speaker 2 (23:43): The assumption is that private equity is going to strip the pack to parts. Strip it for its parts and sell the parts off. Speaker 1 (23:51): Yes. Speaker 2 (23:52): And they go, what if everyone thinks we're going to go left? What if we went right? So, yeah, they've bought up. The Honda dealership across the street. Speaker 3 (24:05): Wow. Speaker 2 (24:05): That I think is across the street, unless I'm thinking of a different year. Speaker 3 (24:09): So much of the comedy world is connected to these car dealerships now. Speaker 2 (24:13): And that's not a coincidence. Speaker 1 (24:15): Right. So soon the whole neighborhood will be the pack. Speaker 2 (24:20): God willing. Speaker 3 (24:21): Wow. Speaker 1 (24:22): Yeah. Speaker 3 (24:23): Hollywood Handbook. Speaker 1 (24:27): Hollywood. Speaker 3 (24:29): Did you write a letter to Sebastian Maniscalco? Speaker 1 (24:32): Mm-hmm. Speaker 2 (24:33): Yeah. Speaker 1 (24:33): Yeah. Speaker 2 (24:34): Yeah, I said... Can we hear it? Speaker 3 (24:36): I'm thinking about comedy and cars, and I'm going, well, I know what comedy I listen to in the car. Speaker 1 (24:42): Can you first describe what Sebastian Maniscalco did, just as context for this letter? First, let me say, I don't think he did anything. Ever? Speaker 2 (24:50): Well.... Speaker 3 (24:57): He had a special. Don't put that on me. I think that what happened was. Speaker 1 (25:03): He is getting a special soon, I heard. He was offered the opportunity. I don't think he's had a special yet, but he is. There was a Sirius XM. It's on the 800-pound gorilla. Speaker 3 (25:14): A Sirius XM station, yes, that was a comedy. I don't know if it was a raw dog comedy. Speaker 1 (25:21): It was raw dog. It was raw dog condomless comedy. Speaker 2 (25:24): Yes. Speaker 3 (25:27): So it was comedy, yes, without protection. No safe spaces. Kind of being a safe space for your. Speaker 1 (25:37): Splooge. Speaker 3 (25:39): So it was this comedy channel that. Speaker 1 (25:45): Was, you know, one of the. Speaker 3 (25:46): Only outlets left to showcase emerging artists and play some of their work and for them to have an income stream. And it was renamed... the Sebastian Maniscalco, I suppose, prophylactic comedy hour or something. And he signed on the line, (26:09): which is dotted, and received whatever compensation he got, but it became primarily his jokes. And then Red Skelton was the only other comedian being played on the channel. And a lot of people, yourself included, felt that Red Skelton's (26:33): estate doesn't necessarily need the money. Some of these younger comedians who are less established actually needed both the exposure and the checks in the mail much more than Mr. Speaker 1 (26:48): Skelton. And it was incredible to watch the community rise up against Sebastian Betta's gal going this way. Speaker 3 (26:58): Some of them were asking nicely. Yeah, they were saying, may I please have some help, please? Speaker 1 (27:06): It was like when Thanos is like, you're not strong enough to beat me. And Thor is like, no, but he is. And then Jake Vogel test explodes out of the side of the mountain. Yeah. Speaker 3 (27:23): Ah! Speaker 1 (27:25): This can't be happening to me! Speaker 2 (27:29): Yeah, and he has a vinyl with him, too. Speaker 1 (27:34): And out of this, Jake did get a vinyl with Sebastian Maniscalco. They ended up... That was sort of the compromise that emerged. Speaker 2 (27:43): Yeah. Speaker 3 (27:44): Which I think everybody felt pretty good about. Speaker 2 (27:47): Yeah. Speaker 3 (27:47): You know, was just to get anything, any kind of give. Speaker 2 (27:51): Yeah, any concession. Speaker 1 (27:52): Yes. So what did you say... I actually heard that this letter was one of the ones that really moved the needle for Sebastian. Speaker 2 (28:05): Yeah, so one of the things I noticed. Speaker 1 (28:10): Is this the letter? Speaker 2 (28:11): Yeah, it is, actually. Speaker 1 (28:13): Wow, okay. Speaker 3 (28:14): Great. Great start. Because it's so disarming. Speaker 1 (28:19): Almost any comedy could begin with this, too. One of the things I noticed is. Speaker 2 (28:25): A lot of scripts, right? The second act should actually probably be the first act. Speaker 3 (28:34): Thank you. Thank you. So that's one of the things you noticed. Speaker 2 (28:39): And like a lot of movies that are not really good, they'll start with like. Dear Sebastian Maniscalco. It's like audiences don't have the attention span that they used to have. Speaker 3 (28:53): This is the letter still. Speaker 2 (28:58): Yeah, of course, Sean. Speaker 3 (28:59): This is an incredible letter. And I'm seeing why Sebastian was so willing to consider your words. Speaker 2 (29:09): And so as I was saying, Sebastian. Speaker 3 (29:13): Way to bring it back to him. Speaker 2 (29:16): Mm-hmm. Because you kind of have to address... You know how in shows they always say the character's name in conversation? Speaker 3 (29:25): Yeah. Speaker 2 (29:26): Because audience members. Speaker 3 (29:27): Just a little reminder. Speaker 2 (29:28): Just a reminder. Speaker 1 (29:29): For him, he's like, oh, right, that's who I am. That's me. Speaker 2 (29:31): Yeah. That's me. So, Sebastian, again, I feel like... a lot of younger audiences don't know who Bob Hope is. A lot of younger audiences think Bob Hope. Speaker 3 (29:50): They know Bob Despair at this point. I mean, when we were growing up, we had Bob Hope. Now we got Bob Despair. And we used to have Johnny Cash. And now all we have now is Johnny Moths flying out. Speaker 2 (30:05): Uh-huh. It's so funny that you both said that in succession because that is verbatim the next section of the letter. Speaker 1 (30:14): What? Yeah. Speaker 2 (30:17): I don't know whether you were looking at my phone. Speaker 1 (30:22): No, but it feels so natural. Was it about Bob Despair and Johnny Moths flying out? Speaker 2 (30:25): Literally, word for word, that's what I wrote. Speaker 1 (30:28): Next in the letter. Speaker 2 (30:29): Oh, my God. Speaker 1 (30:31): And did you talk about, and we used to have Steve Jobs, and now all we have is Steve's gig economy. Speaker 2 (30:38): So I didn't actually include that. Speaker 1 (30:40): Okay. Speaker 2 (30:40): But I was thinking about it. That's fine. Speaker 1 (30:42): But I was kind of thinking. Speaker 2 (30:44): Like, let's get back to the ask, right? Like, what's the ask? Speaker 1 (30:49): That's right. So the ask. You're getting the light pretty soon here. Speaker 3 (30:52): Did you mention that we used to have Malcolm Gladwell, and we still do? Speaker 2 (31:00): I did say that. Speaker 1 (31:07): Rough times. Speaker 2 (31:09): And so that was like most of the letter and then i kind of like checked in with myself during the next like last section of the letter i was just like And I just, you know, I'm doing really well personally. And I'd love to have you, like, you haven't been over in a while. And I know there's a lot of anti-Italian sentiment still. Speaker 1 (31:32): Yes. Speaker 2 (31:32): In the United States. So I just wanted to, like, thank you for, one, telling the truth. I thought we were all going to say it. That's okay. And two, holding the microphone. And then I said, love, Andrea. Speaker 1 (31:50): Yeah. Speaker 3 (31:51): Oh, that's very intimate, and that makes him feel safe. Speaker 2 (31:54): Well, I didn't, and I didn't do the comma. Like, I just said, love, Andrea. So, like, a command. Speaker 3 (32:02): Oh, it's an instruction. Yeah. Yes. Speaker 1 (32:04): Because a lot of his comedy is about relationships, too. Speaker 2 (32:07): Yeah. Speaker 1 (32:07): Yeah. These females. Speaker 2 (32:12): They're playing in your face. Speaker 1 (32:14): These females. Yeah. Speaker 2 (32:18): So, um. Speaker 1 (32:20): So, the guy. Marcello is like, he's obviously doing it. He's getting famous for this. Yeah. But I think I have perfected it. He did it first. I absolutely concede that he did it first. Speaker 2 (32:37): Yeah. Speaker 1 (32:38): But I obviously think I do it much better. Speaker 3 (32:41): Yeah. And I do it without the physicality. I do it after you. Speaker 2 (32:46): Quieter. Speaker 3 (32:48): Yeah, and a little bit less like him, but I'm trying to find the essence of him that doesn't necessarily sound like him. Speaker 2 (32:54): Yeah. You're trying to find the smell. Speaker 1 (32:57): Mm-hmm. Speaker 3 (32:58): And my key phrase is I always come back to little dogs. Speaker 1 (33:05): Little dogs. Speaker 3 (33:06): Little dogs. Females got these little dogs. Speaker 1 (33:12): That guy smells incredible. I know that's right. Speaker 2 (33:17): You know that's right. Speaker 1 (33:18): I gotta smell that sometime. Can you imagine? Speaker 2 (33:22): I am. I'm doing it right now. Speaker 1 (33:24): Oh my god. I feel like I can smell it. Speaker 2 (33:26): Yeah. Can you feel like you can smell it too, Sean? Speaker 3 (33:31): Thank you for involving me in the discussion of the smell it. Speaker 2 (33:34): Okay, come on in. The water's fine. Speaker 3 (33:37): I'm still stuck on your support for Italians. Is that you? How Italian are you? Speaker 2 (33:44): Don't get it twisted, sister. Speaker 1 (33:47): Dee Snider. Speaker 2 (33:48): I'm not pro. Speaker 1 (33:50): Might be a secret Italian as well. Speaker 2 (33:52): I'm not pro-Italian. Don't click this. Speaker 1 (33:59): You're an Italian pro? Speaker 2 (34:02): Again, no. Speaker 1 (34:02): Okay. Speaker 2 (34:04): I'm just not. I'm anti-anti-Italian. Don't be hateful. Speaker 3 (34:11): Is it? Speaker 2 (34:12): And we're cool, man. Speaker 1 (34:13): I'm just like, is it just sort of a clue? That when people see you go up there, they could say, that's Amore. It's not a traditional pronunciation of your name. Speaker 2 (34:32): Sorry, so you think when I'm going up. Speaker 3 (34:36): The audience. Speaker 1 (34:36): When you're going up, the audience. Speaker 3 (34:38): Yeah, like collectively? Speaker 1 (34:39): I know, I think like half of them are whispering to the other half. Because they have to tell it to someone. Speaker 3 (34:46): So they say, that's amore. Speaker 1 (34:47): That's amore. Speaker 2 (34:48): That's amore. Do you think the other half of the audience is like an idiot? Speaker 1 (34:56): Because they don't know who you are? Speaker 3 (34:59): Yeah, only an idiot wouldn't know your stuff. Speaker 1 (35:02): But I think that like. Speaker 2 (35:03): Like why are you even here? Speaker 3 (35:05): Maybe their grandma's with them. Speaker 2 (35:07): Maybe their grandma's with them. Speaker 3 (35:09): And grandma doesn't necessarily have access to all of the like. latest comedy in the way that we do. Speaker 2 (35:17): Yeah. Speaker 1 (35:18): And I think some of them took their grandma like on a surprise or a date. Speaker 2 (35:25): Yeah. Speaker 1 (35:26): Can be fun. Speaker 3 (35:26): Yeah. I've written a joke about something we were talking about three or four minutes ago. Speaker 2 (35:30): Is it true? Is it true? Speaker 3 (35:32): Well, you tell me. If it feels true, it'll be true. Did I tell you about my cousin Dom who was into S & M? He's an Italian sub. Speaker 2 (35:44): That's true. Speaker 3 (35:49): Dom. Speaker 2 (35:52): That's really true. Speaker 1 (35:55): Has anyone done a that's amore joke for you before? Have we done that yet? Speaker 3 (36:00): Like somebody else? Speaker 2 (36:00): Come on. Speaker 3 (36:01): We're starting it? Speaker 2 (36:02): Well, if I said no, would you believe me? Speaker 1 (36:07): Yeah, I think I would. That would mean that, of course I believe it. I mean, I'm the smartest one who came up with it first. Everyone else was trying, and then I succeeded. Of course I would believe that. I would believe that. I would believe that. Speaker 2 (36:19): You know who said that before you said it? Speaker 1 (36:21): Who? Speaker 2 (36:21): Marcelo. Speaker 1 (36:23): Unbelievable. Speaker 3 (36:24): Okay. Speaker 2 (36:26): And he smelled really good when he was. Speaker 1 (36:27): Saying perfected it. That guy smells amazing, too. Speaker 2 (36:29): He perfected it, of course. Yeah. Yeah. They do say that. And they say a lot of other things that I'm not going to say on the podcast. Speaker 3 (36:41): Well, I wish you would. We still have like 10 minutes left or something. Speaker 2 (36:44): What are we going to talk about? Speaker 3 (36:45): There's all these things that you're not going to say. They sound sort of interesting to me. Speaker 2 (36:51): But doesn't that kind of pique your interest? Speaker 3 (36:54): Yes. Speaker 2 (36:54): Yeah. Yes. Yeah, it does. Speaker 1 (36:57): That's why we're asking. Speaker 2 (36:57): Yes. Speaker 1 (36:58): Like. Speaker 3 (36:59): No, I think I brought up being interested. Speaker 2 (37:01): Yeah, but Marcello did first. You just perfected it. Speaker 1 (37:06): That guy is, he's good. Speaker 3 (37:10): He's always one step ahead of me. Speaker 1 (37:12): He's really good. People seem to like him as well. Speaker 3 (37:15): Yes, well, and that's actually what's pissing me off. And I think I'd like him too. No, I think I would, which is why I don't. Speaker 2 (37:22): Yeah. That's smart. Speaker 1 (37:24): But he can't be on here. Speaker 2 (37:26): Why not? Overshadow you guys? Speaker 1 (37:29): He'd be doing all this stuff that people are like, yay. Speaker 3 (37:33): Yeah. Speaker 1 (37:34): Yeah. You know what I mean? Speaker 3 (37:35): Fucked up the vibe. Speaker 1 (37:37): Richie's over there. Speaker 3 (37:38): Richie's charmed by him. That would not be good. That's not the show. Speaker 1 (37:49): I'd try and figure out a way to tip all the cameras over. Speaker 3 (37:57): Without looking like that's what I'm doing. Speaker 2 (37:59): Without damaging, hopefully... Or, you know, temporarily damaging. Speaker 1 (38:04): Without damaging. Speaker 2 (38:04): Yes. Speaker 1 (38:04): Damaging them just enough that, like, we'd all have to go home. Yeah. And that it wouldn't. I don't want to go home. And that the files would be corrupted. People can't be seeing that type of stuff. Speaker 3 (38:17): Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 1 (38:18): And I'm just, like, sitting there. Speaker 2 (38:20): Yeah. And you're just, like, sitting there. Speaker 1 (38:24): Picking my nose with my ring finger. Speaker 2 (38:28): You're getting really in there like a COVID test. It hurts. It's hurting you. Speaker 1 (38:34): I'm going PCR up there. Speaker 3 (38:38): That's some of Hayes' comedy. He's like, it was really uncomfortable when they had all the COVID testing going on and he had to pretend to also be uncomfortable with it. Speaker 1 (38:49): You're like, oh, this, oh, ow. Oh, no. Speaker 3 (38:53): I never have anything this far up here. Speaker 2 (38:55): Oh, wow. Speaker 3 (38:57): This is a new sensation for me. Speaker 1 (38:59): He would say. Speaker 2 (39:00): Yeah, and kind of like narrating it as it's happening like that. Oh, boy. Speaker 3 (39:04): I'm like you. I'm not used to it. Speaker 1 (39:07): Yeah. Speaker 2 (39:09): I miss those days. Speaker 1 (39:11): Really? Speaker 2 (39:12): No. Speaker 3 (39:14): That's so upsetting. That's so upsetting. Speaker 2 (39:19): It's not over, by the way, also. Speaker 3 (39:21): It's like saying you missed the slap at the Oscars. Speaker 1 (39:25): Yeah. Speaker 3 (39:26): Was it something to talk about? Yes. Speaker 2 (39:28): Yeah. Speaker 3 (39:29): But it was bad that it happened. Speaker 2 (39:31): Well, sometimes you need to talk about bad things that happen so that it doesn't happen again. Well, that's what I do. Speaker 3 (39:37): That's what you do up on stage. Speaker 2 (39:39): Yeah, I kind of remind people, hey, here's what happened. Speaker 3 (39:42): And what else do you say? Speaker 2 (39:45): I say, like in my stand-up set, If you like. If I like. I say, dear Sebastian, what are you doing at my show? You should be out there supporting. (40:06): Go back out there and support Kyle Kinane instead. Speaker 3 (40:11): Yeah. Speaker 2 (40:13): Go out. And I list all the names of all the comedians who have ever done Hot Tub. So I go, go out there and support Beth Stelling. Speaker 1 (40:21): Mm-hmm, yeah. Speaker 2 (40:22): And I'm kind of like pointing as if they're all in a- It's Max Silvestri's turn. Yeah. Speaker 1 (40:28): Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 2 (40:31): Go on, get. I say, go on, get. Speaker 1 (40:33): I say, go on, get. Speaker 2 (40:35): Get. Yeah. Speaker 1 (40:36): Can't you see we don't want you here? Speaker 2 (40:38): And it's not Amore. Yeah. Speaker 3 (40:42): Mm-hmm. Speaker 1 (40:44): No. He was doing that. So he did- He did it too. So the scenario I described, it sounds like did happen. You were incredulous about it. Speaker 2 (40:53): No, no. Speaker 1 (40:54): But it sounds like he did. It sounds like it played out exactly that way. Speaker 2 (40:57): Well, no, I was, I then turned to the first half of the audience after talking to Sebastian and I said, and it's not amore. So I'm not, this is my way of saying to Sebastian, I'm not even talking about, I'm not even talking about. Speaker 3 (41:11): To me, I told you to leave. If you're not gone, that's your problem. Because mentally for me. Yeah. Speaker 1 (41:16): You're out. Speaker 2 (41:17): At this point, I'm asking people if they're a couple. I'm on my next. Speaker 1 (41:22): How long are you guys on a date? How long? Speaker 2 (41:24): And I'm pointing to people on different sides of the stadium. Speaker 3 (41:29): Are you two a couple? I haven't seen that yet. Speaker 2 (41:35): What do you do for a job? Speaker 1 (41:38): Pointing to two people in two different places. Speaker 3 (41:40): And they answer at the same time, hopefully. Speaker 2 (41:42): Because it's like in, you know, during NBA games, like the t-shirt canon, it only goes to the people who can buy the most expensive tickets. Speaker 3 (41:51): Right. Isn't that frustrating? It needs to go. Speaker 2 (41:54): To the people in the very back who could buy the most expensive tickets but want to save a little bit of money. Speaker 1 (42:00): So you're pointing to the sort of upper deck area. Speaker 2 (42:04): Yeah. Speaker 1 (42:05): Ask it. And you're pointed at two different distant sections of the area. Speaker 3 (42:10): You're the first stand-up who calls your shot. Speaker 2 (42:12): And the last. Yeah. Speaker 1 (42:18): Yeah. And there are huge entire rows of people pointing at themselves like, me? Speaker 3 (42:25): Me. Speaker 1 (42:25): Yeah. Speaker 2 (42:26): They're saying, me. Speaker 1 (42:27): And you say, yes. Speaker 2 (42:29): And I say, yeah, you. Yeah. Speaker 1 (42:31): To all of them? Speaker 2 (42:32): Yeah. I go kind of like person by person. Speaker 1 (42:33): Yeah, you. Yeah, you. Speaker 2 (42:35): So people at this point think I'm maybe like having a stroke. Yeah. But no. Speaker 3 (42:41): Which, by the way, that's representation. Speaker 2 (42:43): Yeah. Speaker 3 (42:43): People aren't really. That's a community that probably doesn't feel like they're up on stage a lot. Speaker 2 (42:50): No. Speaker 3 (42:50): Someone actively experiencing a stroke. Speaker 2 (42:52): Or if they are, it's like just because they're being motivational or inspirational. Speaker 3 (42:58): Yeah. Yeah, but they're not doing crowd work like you do. Speaker 2 (43:01): No. Speaker 1 (43:03): And no one is. Speaker 3 (43:04): You're the first person to do it and the last. Speaker 2 (43:05): And the last. Don't forget that. Speaker 1 (43:07): Can I just see, can you ask Richie if he's a couple and just, can I just see like how it works? Yeah. Can you just kind of unpack that process for us? Speaker 3 (43:15): Maybe point to Richie and Casey at the same time. Speaker 2 (43:20): Well, here's how I would do it. Speaker 1 (43:21): Okay. Thank you. That's what. Speaker 2 (43:24): Hey, you. Speaker 1 (43:28): Yeah, you. Speaker 2 (43:29): What's your name? Speaker 1 (43:31): Richie. Richie. Hey, you. Speaker 2 (43:41): What's your name? Speaker 1 (43:43): Casey. Speaker 2 (43:48): Were you two a couple? Speaker 1 (43:52): Oh, he hesitated. Speaker 2 (43:53): Oh. Speaker 3 (43:55): Oh. Speaker 1 (43:57): That's material. Speaker 2 (43:58): And this happens during the show. I slide the glass back. And I close the curtain. Speaker 1 (44:05): Okay. Speaker 2 (44:07): And was I supposed to keep that open ultimately? I can't remember. Speaker 1 (44:10): Ultimately, no. Speaker 2 (44:11): I wasn't supposed to close it. Speaker 1 (44:14): Ultimately? Well, you said, was I supposed to keep it open? I said, ultimately, no. Speaker 2 (44:18): Oh, and then I said the opposite. Speaker 1 (44:18): And then you said I was supposed to close it. Yeah. Speaker 2 (44:23): I'll have to watch the tape on that. see what really happened have you two ever thought about doing my stand-up comedy. Speaker 3 (44:34): So i just now i've started to consider it yeah it didn't seem realistic to me until i. Speaker 2 (44:42): Watched it yeah and you could kind of like see yourself. Speaker 3 (44:46): I feel like i've picked up on some of the. Speaker 2 (44:48): Moves yeah it's And just so you know. Speaker 1 (44:52): It seems like when it's up there, it's just like watching you take it apart piece by piece. But it's not. Speaker 2 (44:58): It's actually really, really hard. Speaker 1 (45:01): Okay. Speaker 3 (45:02): Yeah, I think he was saying the opposite. This is another one of those open the glass, close the glass. It feels like I'd never be able to do it, but then watching you actually go through the mechanics of it in front of us, it is simpler than we assumed. Speaker 1 (45:15): Yeah. Speaker 3 (45:17): But that's, I guess, not the case. Speaker 2 (45:19): Well, it's like. Speaker 1 (45:21): Or whose idea do you want to do? Speaker 3 (45:22): Because we've got Hayes' idea. He's one of the hosts of the show. I really got what he was doing. Then we've got your thing, which could work. I mean, absolutely could work. Speaker 2 (45:39): I mean, ultimately, I just... Everything I'm doing, it's like Marcello probably did it first. Speaker 1 (45:45): Yeah. You keep saying ultimately in a way that is neuro-linguistically programming me to end the show. Bye.
