I'm so glad you could do the podcast. Here on the pod is recording. Yeah. Oh, no. Recording for like 15 minutes. Dude, Pete had to tell me about his dead cat and like yet another dead cat. Well, just talk about all that stuff. He keeps the ashes and one wife was like, why do you have the ashes?
Starting point is 00:02:06 He's like, it's a special cat. And I'm like, oh my God, please. I love you. But leave. There's so many sad things. OK, to keep an animal's ashes. I think it's totally fine. Turtley. I think it's turning the fat.
Starting point is 00:02:23 I think it's totally fine to do that. It think it's turnin' the fan to do that. It's almost like when you were younger, you took a turtle's ashes and put them in your ass or something. So just now when I asked you about it, you went, keeping ashes is totally okay. I mean totally okay. Hello, Michelangelo. I had a turtle named Mike that I let go in the lake.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Probably died. Probably, he's not alive anymore. I would- You're here with my favorite comedian, Lenny Marcus. Fuck you. I always say that. I say it to everybody. You started saying it cause I said it. I said it the other night to my friend.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Yeah, I said it. You have to do everything I do. He's my favorite. No, I knew him longer and before you. Yeah, but I say he's my favorite. And then you heard that and started saying it. That's not true. Lenny.
Starting point is 00:03:07 You could both have me, I guess. Lenny Marcus, he doesn't have social media. He's the funniest fucking comic. I got buried one night so deep because of him. He helps out comics with his own. Buried is when you do really well on stage and the person who goes after you has a hard time because he did so good.
Starting point is 00:03:20 He has his own record label and helps out comics. I still get paid to this day from him helping me self-release an album during the pandemic. It saved me. He's the fucking best. We love him. How do you do that? Oh, I thought he was your favorite comedian. Oh, interesting. Well, it all started. I'm totally kidding. Can I put my head on your lap? No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:50 It started with Ian. This whole thing started with Ian because I was trying to help him out. Really? In the middle of, in the, when was that? What year? 2020. It was right after the, right at the end of the pandemic.

Starting point is 00:04:18 like, they won't respond to my emails. Why did you do this to me? I'm like, dude, fuck you. What happened? He was helping people. It's really hard to get your stuff played on Sirius and distribute it if you don't have a label and know what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:04:29 So I did it all myself and now it's a long, long story, but you need to have a label. So I started my own label to help comics do free. And Ian was like eating out of a garbage can at the time. And I'm like, I love to try and make you a couple of bucks. And it did, it kind of gotten through garbage can well not you know Now he's up now. I'm eating off the way now. I mean off the lid on the can anymore.

Starting point is 00:11:27 Do you have a criteria, Ian? Guy or girl? Do I have to get both? Someone that, uh, I, someone that has drive, someone that has their own life, someone that, has drive live. Is there a height requirement? Someone that's drive, someone that's alive, someone's at four foot five, someone who likes to dive, bar, poetry, slam. I like tattoos. I like a fat ass. I like boobs. I like, but your personality makes up for it. And thank God. Don't blink like that.
Starting point is 00:12:11 You're sending me a message. Also someone who makes me feel loved and who I can love. Someone I can feel safe with and put my head on their chest and they could put their head on mine. Ethan is so allergic to cats. Ethan's so allergic to cats. Dude, your face is as red as this. Oh my God. It looks like you just got beat up by Pete Lee. I like you trying not to sneeze.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Did you try that one though? Yeah. I, the most important thing is having a life of their own and like drive and doesn't look to me to be the everything and the entertainer and someone that can I can laugh with who can make me laugh. Should I stop? Sorry. It goes on for a long time. It does go on for a long time. OK, I kind of got the idea. But really, what is the fat ass is the most important thing.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Now, because I go for fat ass first and doesn't suit me. But I'm not dating right now. I'm kind of just doing my own thing. I don't have the time. I don't want to let someone down. Although dating a guy, seeing a guy has been pretty cool because I'm like, Hey, I'm coming over at 10 and I go, fuck something. They go up and go, Hey, come in midnight.
Starting point is 00:13:20 I don't care. I'm like, Whoa. Well, that's what it's like to date comics. That's why I did comedians. Cause they don't care. Oh, this guy's in fashion. but you don't want that. I do that's all I do Excervations I fucked every not learn. She's fucked. She said every comic throw their dick in her except for me Hmm. Is that crazy? No, not everyone like six Gene
Starting point is 00:13:44 Oh your new comic comic? Who am I going to meet? A nice guy? And then I show up and I have sticky fingers from something weird. And they're okay with that? That's fine. Have sticky fingers. No, I'll lick them. You're a comedian. Yeah. Normal guys don't like sticky fingers.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Because they're fucking losers. That's what I'm saying. I thought we were trying to give into me not to date comedians right now. Oh yeah. And then you go out on a date with them and you try and make them laugh and then they try and make you laugh because they know you're a comic and they do a bad job and you know what is going on right now? I like regular people in static. What? Huh?
Starting point is 00:14:20 On the apps, all autistic, 100%. All the people? 100% of them. How can you tell? Every date I've gone on, nice looking guy, scrappy guy, they're all, ehh, ehh, ehh. I like girls that aren't comics. Yeah, because you don't like them smart and critical at all.
Starting point is 00:14:36 You just like them to be like, you're so funny. Do you need me to go to the store? No. That's Ian's favorite sentence. Do you need me to run to the store for anything? Because I date nice women. I dated a gal. She went to the store for us. And then the next one did that, too.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Well, we didn't date. She was just a pal that came over for sleepover. The stripper is a stripper. Literally sitting at dinner and she goes, I have a huge issue with my vagina right now where I can't have sex. I can't put anything in it. And I was like, wait, you can't put like a penis in it. And she was like, no. And I just see it and be like, check. Time for you to go back to California.
Starting point is 00:15:15 I was surprised you didn't know that. I knew that. And she was a pal. She wanted to come to New York. Shit was getting rough in California. So I said, yeah, come by and we'll fucking hang. No big deal. Imagine shit being so rough that you go to this apartment as your haven. Fuck you. My buddy Zach moved into that room next door.
Starting point is 00:15:31 It's not a room. Because his, it's a room. There's another room in there. And my buddy is staying here because him and his chick broke up. He's in a touring band. He's staying with... I have an open door policy. I like my house to be full of friends. There's a lock on that door right there. We were wondering what that what's in there. So I don't know how open door policy. I like my house to be full of friends. There's a lock on that door right there.
Starting point is 00:15:46 We were wondering what's in there. So I don't know how open door that is. Oh, that's the door to get outside through the stairwell. To hell. Yeah, yeah, that's the door to the other side. That's where Nosferatu stays. Did you go through a dating comedian's time period? No.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Never? No. Who's he gonna date? Elaine Boozler? He's fucking, came up in the 80s and 90s. First of all, I started in 95. Elaine Boosler's from the 70s. Oh my god. You piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Paula Poundstone. Paula Poundstone. Yeah, who was around? Woman. Oh no, you had the Schumer, you had the Silverman, you had the... Yeah, Nicky was around. They're all around, but then I'm older than them too too I'm 20 years older than those guys Lenny has an amazing
Starting point is 00:16:28 comedian's date 20 years younger oh no no I that's kind of my personal policy through the whole thing because you could see it happen in real time it's a nightmare it's a nightmare yeah I want to know what you were you were like when you first started comedy were you the same guy? Or were you even dirtier? Lenny was a motorcycle rider. No, I was dirtier. Oh yeah, that's right. You weren't dirtier. Lenny has amazing stories about the cellar when it was dead. And you told me something I'll never forget.
Starting point is 00:16:54 You said it was such a struggle sometimes. You could hear people's cigarettes burning after a joke. I would bump so bad there that you could smoke in the room, which drove me insane. Yeah. People were like, what's the best thing that ever happened in your career? Until I did Letterman, it was that they got rid of the smoking in the cellar. Cause I was, yeah, right. I mean, you could, I said I used to bomb so bad. You could hear the smoke. You can hear them pulling this. You could just, you could just see it. You could hear them pulling this. You could just you could just see it. Yeah, you could hear it coming at me and people would blow it at you in that front
Starting point is 00:17:27 row. It would be like if they they they did it on purpose. Very vindictively. Like I said something to them like you say anything nicer. They would just blow the cigarette right out. Wow. Yeah. Before it was like when it was more Rodney's how Rodney's is now. Yeah, basically, yeah. I mean, they wouldn't cancel shows. They wouldn't cancel shows. They had two shows.
Starting point is 00:17:50 They had there was a couple of times a house emcee and he would run outside and get people to come in and they would sit down and like they you know, just have to get a drink. That's all they need. And then suddenly we had more of an audience. But they anybody they pulled off the street was like foreign or, and there were nights where it was like, nobody understood anything I said. Yeah, it was really, it was rough. So now it's like a dream.
Starting point is 00:18:12 It's a dream. You guys are living a ridiculous dream that all of us built. But we did bad shows coming up, just not at the cellar. We did horrific, horrific. No, I'm sure you did. We did those shows where you pull people up the street and that shit. Oh yeah, but. And then shit.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Oh yeah, but this was like at the comedy cell in real time. But Louis changed that, it just blew up. Was it really Louis? I think so. Because of the TV show? Yeah. Everybody had to see, go into the pizza place and then what is going on down there?
Starting point is 00:18:38 It was very provocative. But it must have been slightly, I thought he used that in his show because it was like kind of cool. Yeah. Well, I feel like- It fed itself. Okay, okay. Yeah show because it was like kind of cool. Yeah. Well, I feel like it fed itself. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I feel like a little cool tough crowd and stuff really opened up the cellar too, because they would all talk about being at the table and coming down.
Starting point is 00:18:54 It all started steamrolling at the same time. And she fell popping too at the same time. There was something going around about Chris Rock and the table. They like tried to remodel that room, but then it was too close to just that area. That's the area of the table. And so they wanted they cut the bar. They want to cut the bar and put it in. Because what are you doing is iconic. Why?
Starting point is 00:19:17 Because it brought people too close also. Right. For some reason. Yeah. I remember when I got past the cellar, I was so nervous. And I was like one of the only People I didn't really know anyone I got past early and no one that I was like comfortable with was like passer except for like Two people and I'll never forget my first week there. I was so nervous I wouldn't even sit at the table and Lenny was like you passed come over and it was so sweet You were always so kind to me at the beginning. Yeah. I mean, people are scared shitless. I've never seen. First of all,
Starting point is 00:19:47 if you were there back in the day when the table was the table. Yeah. I mean, I would beads of sweat would just form on the back of my neck. It was vicious. Yeah. You people are sweet hearts. Oh, yeah. With Petrie's and like, no, I've been there with Toddlin, but you ever see, uh, when Keith just picks on you a little bit? Yeah, yeah. Imagine it was nine Keith's 20 years ago. Full strength.
Starting point is 00:20:11 It sounds amazing. You might have liked it. But there are people walked out of that room crying. You know what I mean? There was. Oh, yeah. I heard Demetri Martin like, didn't he cry one time because Patrice was berating him about his guitar? Oh, that was I don't think that was there.
Starting point is 00:20:26 I don't, Demetri doesn't cry that I can tell you. There wasn't, there was no crying, but he got him. He got even with him as well. Like he, he gave it back to Patrice. Really? Yeah. Whoa. That's the story Demetri told me.
Starting point is 00:20:37 So he told me a couple of stories, but yeah, there was, I mean, Patrice was, when it was Patrice Norton, uh, Nick, the Palo boss, uh, Patrice was, when it was Patrice, Norton, Nick DePaulo, boss, Keith, Colin, SD, Noam, Noam's the worst to be honest. Noam is cause he owns the place. What are you going to do? And some of these guys would slam. I mean, when it was going, it was just this thunder cloud of nasty. Some of it, sometimes, but no, those guys are already cleaned up. Like pretty cleaned up by then.
Starting point is 00:21:05 But they were just Nat. And Geraldo. Geraldo. Yeah. I mean, thank God for Greg Geraldo. I was like, Greg saved me. Really? Was he like a nice guy? The nicest.
Starting point is 00:21:17 The nicest. And and and he was kind of the he was the smart one. You know, I mean, those guys aren't going to win any mental awards. A lot of them. He was a Harvard lawyer. Yeah, Harvard lawyer. Louis said that John Stewart was the one
Starting point is 00:21:30 that would just like kind of sit in the corner and look at the table and be like, nah. Yeah, I mean, some people didn't want anything to do with it. Like there were times where I had walked in and saw the group and I just turned around, just walk right, there was so many people just turn around and walk right out. Oh wow.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Because I'm not dealing with it. But if they saw you, it was just like, hey, hey, Lenny, have a seat. And they're just like around and walk right out. Oh, wow. I'm not dealing with it. But if they saw you, it was like, hey, hey, hey, have a seat. And they're saying you are in this. Some people keep that alive. Derek keeps that alive. Well, I feel like it's not what it was. All the comics I came up with in Philly tried to do that. But instead of like the humor, they were like, well, we'll just be loud. And so like they used to call cotton
Starting point is 00:22:05 surround sound. He was so loud and everyone could hear him. And he was just like, well, if I'm loud, then I'll get it. It's it's like Patrice is like, no, he was loud. He was so sweet. He was the sweetest, but he was so loud. He was loud when he came when I met him.
Starting point is 00:22:20 It's way quieter, way quieter than most of these guys. Yeah, it was nuts there. And it would go to like two in the morning. Would there be fights ever? There were some fights that broke out, but not like fist fights. It was just to the point of like, all right, why don't you guys take a walk?
Starting point is 00:22:33 Yeah. That's so cool. But back when it was chess tables. Back when it was chess tables a little bit, yeah. What do you mean? They used to play chess on those tables. Oh, really? They had to chalk, but they had chess.
Starting point is 00:22:44 So they used to have the chess board. Oh, cool. Yeah. It also had in? They used to play chess on those tables. Oh, really? You had the chalk, but they had chess. So they used to have the chessboard. Yeah. It also had in the front, there was, not that your listeners want to hear any of this crap, do they? But they had like, we want to hear it. They, they had, um, the shawarma was out that front window. It was open. So you could pull up there and just take it out. You're like, Oh cool. And so they were cutting in the front of the club. You know that when you, as soon as you walk in,
Starting point is 00:23:05 you go down, you could step down and those tables are there. The vestibule. So it was like, they were cutting the shawarma. I would walk in and be like, I would gag every time. The smoke and shawarma. The smoke and shit coming out the front.
Starting point is 00:23:16 That was like, this is disgusting. There was one big cook, this guy Hassan, like this guy Hassan, like you imagine.

Do you remember that? Yeah yeah yeah. Kurt's huge. It was one where Trump's son got smashed with a beer bottle or something. Really? When?

Starting point is 00:29:46 It's the cake's fault. It's probably, you know, it's because I ate soap. Are you lactose intolerant? I think I'm intolerant of a lot of things. A lot of things I put into my body are not good. But not penis. I'm not allergic. You actually have to get to the bottom of it. You said you didn't eat anything today and then he horked down, you know, all that cake and then a bunch of coffee.
Starting point is 00:30:11 I had a protein shake with what? Whoopin it. That would, that would make sense. That would do it. That would do it. It was peach, spinach, protein, soy milk, almonds, and ginger. And that stayed in, but a piece of cookie. Done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Interesting. Hey everybody, we'll be right back in a second, but I want to talk to you about RULA. Okay? RULA. Finding a therapist should be complicated or cost you a fortune. Thankfully, there's RULA. Okay? We got asked to do better help before, and fucking I said no because they have a reputation for being not good, and I don't ever want to push people towards something that I don't believe in, but RULA is legit and it is good.
Starting point is 00:31:06 So that's why we are partnering up and teaming with them. Okay. Connects you with high quality vetted licensed mental health professionals from finding a therapist to scheduling your sessions, tracking progress, dealing with insurance. RULA is here to help. Okay. Even accept most insurance plans so you could pay as little as 15 bucks per session. That's crazy. That's 175 last month.
Starting point is 00:31:33 But I like my therapist, Jesse. I've never really had a guy therapist. The last time I had a guy therapist, I was in grade school. When'd you change therapists? I stopped going for a while and I started again. Nice. Good job. Because it helps. And that's why you need RULA. OK, therapy is good. Therapy is great, but it's tough.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Guess what? I'm going to be honest. You may talk to someone at RULA and realize this isn't for me. But RULA rules because you can then go to another therapist that works for you. Stick with it. Just because you have a bad experience doesn't mean you gotta quit, okay? It's tough, it's hard, but nothing in life that's good is easy, alright? So try RULA.

Starting point is 00:36:09 We went bowling. I saw that. I used to do that every year on my birthday. Really? I took people for 10 years. All the comics would come. No way! It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Oh, that's so cool. That sounds fun. Did you gamble? What we would do is, it got crazy, this one it got crazy. I'm on the craziest podcast I'm saying. I get crazy when gambling on bowling. So it's like, you would go up there, it would be like, okay, Ian's not gonna knock down seven.
Starting point is 00:36:35 And I mean, you turn around, there's 20 people, comics, everybody just going, suck, you fucking suck Ian. You fucking suck, like don't, no suck. How much would you bet on each? If you did a six, if you, if you rolls like two bucks, one dollar, it was like, it was quick action. Like one dollar, one dollar. He doesn't roll a seven, right? And then it was just be you didn't roll it and people would be high five you and the other half would be like, fuck it.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Oh, that's the best. We're going to do it next year. That'd be really fun. I love that. I love gambling. It'll be great every year. I used to do it every year, but I haven't done it in the last couple because Bertie, we have this babysitter situation. She's going to want to come, but I think she'll end up coming.
Starting point is 00:37:11 How old is she? Right now she's six and a half. So she's ready. Six and a half? Yeah. Crazy. Wow. So you got, yeah, six and a half year old fun at the bowling alley.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Great. Yeah. She'll bet. What do you do for her birthday parties? One year, Marcus Monroe. Oh, my God. That's awesome. No way. And I had to talk him out of doing fire. He's a comedian juggler. If anybody doesn't know Marcus Monroe, he did fire. He did. He can do fine. You know, he's one of the best jugglers in the world.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Right. Yeah. Right. So now I had a real job, but he invented a notch in like a knife torch. So you can do knives, but then he can also do torches. So he has a notch and then he can do like, so he lights them up and he goes, and I'm like, you're not doing that at my kid's birthday. They were four. Okay. This was like three and four, three and four year olds.
Starting point is 00:37:57 But knives are better? Right. I was like, no, not, no, not like he can do anything. He can juggle anything. Yeah, but wouldn't they like the flames? So my wife is like, no, let him do the knives. And he goes, I have a permit from the fire department. And here he said, I'm like, you're not, you do understand. Four year olds with some kid just decides to get up and touch it.
Starting point is 00:38:16 You know, fling it before. Yeah, I could. Which some control. He does it. We drew a line around him. Like nobody could get up and come over this line. And he did it? No, no, no, no. He still didn't do it, but he wanted. No, my wife said okay to that. The other parents, he actually, I think he did do the knives at the
Starting point is 00:38:36 end, but he didn't do the flames. I can tell you that. I wouldn't. And the other parents are like, yeah, they were all like in shock. Especially because you're like, this is my comedian friend. Yeah. Oh yeah. That makes it sound like the whole thing finished. Right. And people are still talking about it. Like we still can't believe that happened at a birthday party for three or four years. That's so cool. It was nuts. Doesn't he like cut an apple? He could do it. Yeah. He does. He can ride a unicycle, like a really tall unicycle while he does that stuff with the Norge, with the crazy.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Oh my God. Yeah. You got to. You got to see. How do you do that? He did like a whole one-man show. Who? Yes, I've met her. What's that about? No, I mean, what's your reaction about? Yeah. Not that. She's older than him. A lot. She's a babe though, right? She's really hot. Yeah. But she's it's. Isn't he as old as her daughter or something yeah yeah it's it's kind of kinky oh yeah in a good way kinky in a good way no just when you see him you're like this is kinky it's just kinks what's so bad about kink yeah she's hot yeah but you see the daughter and him together and you're like, well. Well, that's odd. Are you throwing your stink on that
Starting point is 00:39:47 or is it like really universally like, whoa. Oh, you find out who you're talking about. What's the oldest guy you dated that? Emotionally? I don't go either. I'll take any answer. Oh no, I dated one guy who was 10 years older than me. I was 17, he was 27.

And that's where you looked at and disassociated. Wait, do I want to follow this up? you looked at and disassociated. Wait, do I want to follow this up?

Starting point is 00:41:46 This could be another fart, I don't know. It's gonna be bad if it comes out, I can tell you that. Wait, what's the oldest you'll date and will you date a guy younger? I will not go younger. Ooh, what about like one year? No, because I look older than I am. I'm 20. Sure.
Starting point is 00:42:08 No, but I'm a worn-in woman. I don't I'm not gonna try and look young for some young fucker and men are retarded as is. I'm not going younger. What was I gonna say? Okay. Fair enough. What are you gonna say? Dude you really fucking made me. Is it My fault that you're mentally retarded. Think something. Wait, hold on. You asked me. Wait, you sent them in. Now my thoughts go with you. If I dated older.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Conversation. When I started, when I started comedy, I started hanging out with this MILF and she came to one of my shows and it was like my fourth show ever. And she was like going through a divorce and she came to the show and she was like 15 years older than me. It was so hot. Her name was Dawn and I bombed so bad at the show
Starting point is 00:42:53 that afterwards she called her ex husband and he picked her up and I got them back together. And that's the last time I did an old business. That's pretty good. Is that crazy? Dude, have you ever done that where you're trying
Starting point is 00:43:05 to get over somebody, hook up with somebody else and it's so bad that it sends you back to the ex and you wanna be like, thank you, you helped me realize that you're not the one. Wait, I'm checking to see if the coyote got this. I've never, I'm not bad to do that. Thank you. Well, I was-
Starting point is 00:43:22 That's a good trick. I was like two months into comedy and right before I went on stage, the guy goes, you're doing five minutes. Don't go over and don't do that joke where you sing. All right. No one likes it. I go, Oh yeah. So I sang and I made eye contact with them and I did the joke.
Starting point is 00:43:38 I opened with it and it bombed so bad. I did three minutes instead of five. I sweat through my clothes. This woman called her ex husband and the guy who headline was this guy named the coach who were jockstrapped on his head. I know the coach. Not only do I know the coach, I know the coach since I was 17. Shut up. Are you serious? He sold jockstraps afterwards. Yes. Oh my God. He's one of my dearest friends. Shut up. No, I know the coach since I was 17. I went to, I went to school at SUNY Albany.
Starting point is 00:44:07 He was a coach at SUNY Albany. And then he went to SUNY Albany. I grew up in Ithaca. His act was like, uh, okay guys, we're going to go. And he blows a whistle. He was, he was a crazy football coach. Yeah. He's a crazy football coach.
Starting point is 00:44:22 He's still out there. I spoke to him last week. You're not talking about Bob Nelson. No, I love Bob Nelson. That was the first comic I went to see. It was Bob Nelson. Bob Nelson's great. In the 80s, that stuff was big. So Coach was coaching at Albany and then he would go out and started doing, you know, work on his act around the- Stand up as like a touched coach.
Starting point is 00:44:40 As a touched coach. Like he'd been hit one too many times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was his whole act. He still has it. And he sold jockstrap after the show. Made a fortune. Wow. Just, fortune. Really? This is the 80s.
Starting point is 00:44:50 This is when comedy really blew up the first time. Well, this was 2012. Exploded. What do you think about it? It was crazy. Yeah, it's a little different. Do you look at it as in a bad, what do you, is it in a golden age right now? Yes.
Starting point is 00:45:01 You think who? You guys, you guys have, it's literally like this and you guys are at the this is at the top of it again. Are we pro crowd work anti? Me? Yeah. Anti crowd work. Anti hate it.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Hate it. Yeah, me too. Hate it. Sorry. No, I do a lot of crowd. No, but I mean you do. Yeah. What?
Starting point is 00:45:20 Yeah. Are you living on Mars? Yeah, I do a lot of crowd. So you have tons of jokes. Yeah. Yeah. I do an hour Yeah, I do a lot of crowd work. So you have tons of jokes. Yeah, yeah. I do an hour and then I do some crowd work. Because I get I like getting really angry at people and I freak out at them. But you also listen, you have to have jokes. They're not going to put you on the tonight show going, hey, what's going on, Jimmy?
Starting point is 00:45:39 How you doing? Nice suit. You know what I mean? They're not going to do that. So that was that was the game. You know, the game is writing. The fun thing is what I was doing is you would do crowd work to get into a bit. You know what I mean? Like, cause then they would like stay with you. So you'd basically be like, oh you-
Starting point is 00:45:53 You have it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you have the joke ready. Yeah, totally. Different story. Okay. Okay. If you got nothing, you're fishing for something.
Starting point is 00:46:01 And then- No, yeah, totally. You already have it. But sometimes at the seller when they're fucking all foreign and you have one person to, it does help. I getcha. But I just, the other night, lately I've been doing no crowd work because I've been running this thing and I've just been like not, and it feels so much cooler.
Starting point is 00:46:17 You just leave stage being like, yeah. But when I do crowd work, I'm like, you piece of shit. You gotta have the bits. I go in and out. That's what impressed me about your special. You're like, it was like, oh, well, welcome to writing a joke. Thank you very much. You know, you had some good bits in there.
Starting point is 00:46:33 Well, you only saw me MC for years. That's the thing. I am the seller for like five or six years. I won't stick my head in and check on my end. You know what I mean? But if you're in the middle, if you don't have an MC set, you know, and I'm, you're in the middle of thing going, Oh, well, you know, nice shirt, buddy. You know, like I look at my mustache as well. Like, you know, that that's what I write the jokes. That's what
Starting point is 00:46:56 I like worked on on the special is making it all jokes and know like, and I made it have like an arc in the beginning, middle and end and wrap around. Like I worked so hard on that hour in the room. It's a different story. Television has never done it justice in the in the room. You know, like if you're in the room, it can be electric, you know, watching that. Like, but if I'm watching that off of a tape, you know, months later and you're asking me to like get as connected as those people were in the room to your energy
Starting point is 00:47:25 there. It's really, it does not. I feel like I worked really hard on capturing that, you know, in the special. You do as much as you do as much as anybody I've seen do it, but it can be. It's difficult. There's a lot of people that didn't grow up with that, but it's a different time. I'm the antiquated one. I get that a lot where people are like, dude, you were funny, but seeing you live
Starting point is 00:47:45 is like a whole nother level. That's a whole lot. You got to be in the room. Yeah. I'm like very much a live act, which is why I'm like, man, I hate clips. You know who did capture the feeling was Dave. Something about the way he filmed it. Yeah. Something about the way they shoved that thing right up into his face and didn't do that. They'll shoot specials that are like here to here with like no headroom. So the focal points here, but in Dave's they were like right there. So it was really effective at
Starting point is 00:48:13 making you feel like you were like, you were in it. Yeah. He also spun it around a few times and he had his little camera. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Dave is just Dave. I mean, but, but with that said, and I've said this forever, you don't get a towel unless you're in that room. Like when people are walking by and just says exactly who they are, but crazy. It's so fucked up. It's yeah. He's on like six cents kind of level. I walked in one day and he goes, Oh, are you going to walk in and say something shocking about your childhood? Don't need to hear it. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:48:43 he just looked at the table one time was like, you know, like, Jacket. He just did it in one word. And he looked at me and went, I roll. And then just kept walking. I'm like, oh, his drive by. He's a drive by. Yeah, he's a Jedi. Yeah. He helped me get so much better because he brings me on stage. Yeah. And we I would just answer him honestly and he thought that was funny because I wasn't trying or anything, you know?
Starting point is 00:49:11 And he took me aside and was like, just say whatever you want and I will make it funny. And I was like, okay. And that gave me like the freedom to just go with it and be like quick. And it's like, dude, being with him on the road for five years was like the freedom to just go with us and be like quick. And it's like, dude, being with him on the road for five years was like the greatest gift I could have ever had in comedy. It was the greatest thing in the world. Did I ever tell you a story of how I opened for him one time?
Starting point is 00:49:34 No. And he kind of was gonna put me up at the cellar. So this goes back, first of all, we're the same age, me and Dave, right? He must've started right out of college and I waited 12 years or whatever it was. So how old were you when you started? You and Dave are the same age. Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:50 His birthday is coming up in like a week. The 19th. He's got a good smile. The 19th. And I'm one year. I'm December, he's January. It's the same year. Happy belated.

Starting point is 00:50:19 but it was just so weird, like when I was dating, every girl that I was just so weird. Like when I was dating, every girl that I was just so amazed into, whatever hot I thought was Gemini, and it exploded in my face every time. Every time. Yeah, we like to blow things up and then go, I'm sorry, that was crazy.
Starting point is 00:50:39 I love you. That was weird. And then we go, burn in the night. Gemini should be round up and put in a funny form. I can't believe you're not. And then now with Birdie, I'm like, don't do that.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Like I'm trying to like, don't be that two sided say it's two sided Gemini. I can't even control it. I do it all the time where I'll just be like, you know what, done. I'm so it's black. You do it on stage.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Yeah. Yeah. You want to see you look at my face in the crowd like, what the fuck is Cuckoo? It looks like the exorcist. You're autistic. You are Asperger's. Yeah. So Dave, so 19, this has got to be like 99.
Starting point is 00:51:16 I'm in the business like four years. I've never heard Dave until I moved. I think I just moved to Manhattan. So but I had seen, I was living out near the stress factory in New Brunswick. So now I'm in the city, I'm just moving to the city, but I would go back there every now and then. But while I'm in the city, I get immersed in the scene
Starting point is 00:51:35 and you realize like who's the big shot, whatever. And then I see Dave and I'm like, oh my God, I stink. Like this guy is ridiculous. And then people go, yeah, have you seen this guy? Like, yeah. I go, yeah, I've seen it, it's crazy. But I've only seen him do like 15 minute chunks, even though I've seen him do different 15 minute chunks,
Starting point is 00:51:54 but what's his 45 hour? So he's gonna go do headline, The Stress Factory. And I had lived right there, so I'm good friends with Vinny. That's where I started. So I call Vinny Brand, the owner of The Stress Factory. I'm like, can I come down there and watch Dave do it? And he goes, lived right there. So I'm good friends with Vinny. That's where I started. So I call Vinny Brand, the owner of Stress Factor. I'm like, can I come down there and watch Dave do it? And he goes, come down there. Yeah, you can come down here. Maybe you can do a guest, Steve. And then he goes, what? But then I go, yeah, exactly. Huh? What? Everything's don't don't get me started. But then I get a call from him. He goes, hey, you're coming down here.
Starting point is 00:52:20 How are you getting here? I'm bringing my best friend from college. He's a huge comedy fan. He's going to drive me and he goes, can you pick up Dave Attell? And I'm like, now I'm like, just sweat like, again, we're the same age, right? So, but Dave's already a headliner, you know, this is 10 years, he's 12 years in 10 years, 12 years. So we pick up Dave, like I buzz the buzzer and I'll be right there. Right. I get him, put him in the car. He sits there. We're we want to ask him a thousand comedy questions. Nothing's coming out.
Starting point is 00:52:52 The two of us to the point where we're halfway there, like we're having a conversation. We're halfway there and then it's silence. But we know it's like that. He's in the back seat and he's smoking. He's just he's he's rolling down. He's like, do you mind if I smoking. He's just, he's, he's rolling down. He's like, do you mind if I smoke? And we're like, right. And he's like, he, he would hit the button on the window. All you would hear like, could you do it out the window? He was like, all right. And you just hear like,
Starting point is 00:53:15 Roll it back up. So we're halfway down and with this is dead silence for like three minutes. He just goes So do you guys know each other? So we asked him a bunch of where they go and then so now you hear that you're Right, and I go Dave Dave, you know You know, we want you to be around for a long time. We're huge fans. Like, you got to cut that out. I mean, we're at that point, we're 30. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Right. And he's chain smoking like nobody's business. And we're like, this guy's not going to make you like, because we had seen, like you could smoke in the cells, but he's smoking in lanes. Yeah. And so I go, Dave, please, you know, then, you know, who am I to say anything? But I'm with the same age. I, Dave, you got to cut it out. Right. And he just goes, I'll please, you know, then, you know, who am I to say anything, but I, I'm with the same age, I, Dave, you gotta cut it out, right?
Starting point is 00:54:06 And he just goes, I'll take it under advisement, grandma. Right? Right? So now the two of us aren't saying nothing. We say nothing, right? We go all the way to the stress factor. He goes, you wanna do a guest spot? And I'm like, yeah, I'd love to do a guest spot.
Starting point is 00:54:20 He goes, okay, but you gotta make it quick because he's gotta get back to do a guest spot. He goes, okay, but you got to make it quick because he's got to get back to do the last spot at the cellar, which was at like 1 40 a.m. So we have to get, he's got to do two shows. He goes, he goes, you could do that. So the first set I have, I do, they let me do a guest spot, goes really well. I'm doing like seven minutes or whatever they had. Then he was very nice about that. And then he goes, listen, I gotta get back. We gotta get, I'm gonna say good night. Could you have the car ready to get back to the city?
Starting point is 00:54:51 We're like, Dave, we're on it. We'll get the gas. He goes, don't have to get gas. Like Dave, we're not morons. So we get the car and we have it ready to go, right?

He's standing. He goes, that was great. That was great. Get the car.
Starting point is 00:55:22 We get in the car. We drive them all the way back. And all I remember is this is how scared of SD everyone is. Dave Attell, we drop him off on 6th Avenue and McDougal right there on the corner. He goes, I'll take it from him. And Dave Attell is running to make that spot. He's still at five minutes, but he was running to make that spot. I'm like, that's how scary. Yeah, as he was like, he had to make that spot at one forty in the morning. Right. It's great. I almost sent you the picture of Ian and him eating pizza the other day, Like that's how scary as he was. He had to make that spot at 1.40 in the morning.
Starting point is 00:55:45 It's crazy. I almost sent you the picture of Ian and him eating pizza the other day because me and you were talking about how we've never seen Dave eat. Oh, that's right. I've never seen Dave eat. And there's a beautiful picture of them eating pizza. Oh yeah, that's right.

Starting point is 00:56:40 To help us out and get us like as much. We can't get paid without a label. That's such horseshit. It sucks. Well, there was a whole lawsuit. We'll talk about the label takes so much but Lenny Teaching guys like me to self Release so that you get a hundred percent profit for every play because I wasn't like a 40 50 split it was like 50 50 split for a lot of these people who's done specials with companies and then they release it
Starting point is 00:57:01 To make their money back. They put it on serious so you'll get a little money But they got they get half of your money. It's way easier to have the label do it. Cause it is quite intensive. It's a lot of work. Yeah. So I did, I helped him do it the first time and I realized like, okay, this is not as easy as I think it is.
Starting point is 00:57:18 So there are a lot of people who don't want to do this at all. Dave doesn't want to lift a finger. Dave's not going to go on the computer and type all this stuff in.

So I did everybody's so because my background was in computer programming. So everybody needed a website. So I build them a website for the cheapest. You could build a website to get comics up and running for the website. Okay. And then they all want, can we do video? It got very, it got crazy
Starting point is 00:58:04 intense, but then web builders came came along build these crazy nice websites So they were over my head now, you know They're over my head, but I could still build one really quickly if somebody needs one in a pinch so just once in a blue moon, I'll do but Where was I getting for this fuck yes, you've caught my god I got the Where was I getting for this?
