Now we got these, come on all the time as a threesome with his gay friends. And now, you know what, they broke up, they're not gay anymore. Give it up, Mike Fini, everybody. Hi, I'm back, this is exciting.

Starting point is 00:08:01 This is very jarring, all of this is throwing me. I walked in, you got a hand on the wall, pissing, which is like, I thought something was wrong with you. I didn't shut the door. I didn't know you peed with the hand on the wall like that. Who doesn't use the hand on the wall? Every, unless the only time I use a hand on the wall is if it's like, I'm racing to the bathroom.

Starting point is 00:08:21 It's such an emergency that I just made it. And then it's like a sigh of ecstasy when it comes out. I always have hand on wall. Wow, because I like to get over, I don't like to tinkle on the seat. You don't have the aim? Dude, I don't have the, I mean, the oldie get your flow dies.

Starting point is 00:08:39 See, these are things you don't know yet. No, I've noticed a stream change. Now, here's my difference. My stream is still potent and powerful. However, the amount in which I pee, every night when I get ready for bed, I will go to the bathroom, and then I'll like brush teeth, wash face.

Starting point is 00:08:55 I kind of stuff. By the time I'm done doing that, I piss a second time, equally as much as I adjust pissed, less than five minutes ago. It doesn't make sense. So you have a thing at night that you do like a, you wash your face at night.

Starting point is 00:09:07 Wash my face, go brush my teeth, you know? You have the same rituals as my mother. Yeah, that's what I bet you had great skin. Dude, I got great skin. You don't moisturize or wash your face. You know what, brush your teeth? And I tell you why I don't wash my face even in the shower.

Starting point is 00:09:23 Because the soaps that we use is the reason why you face people get old Well, yeah, you can't use like a bar of soap. You can't use shit all the stuff has stuff in it that fucks your skin up I don't I've never washed my face in the shower my natural oils in my fuck my skin Give me this close up on this and then give me a ting at the end. I'm so good. I'm so just because now you have, when you have all these friendship bracelets, what's going on here? Yeah, dude, I'm, I'm, I'm, I mean, I'm,

Starting point is 00:09:51 I'm transitioning into a fucking lesbian. This is a man clinging to something. I don't know. Throw it out. You throw it out Italian. I think the Verzi podcast is influencing your screen every day. Dude, I got you.

Starting point is 00:10:04 I was showing Italian. Listen, man, Dude, I got you. I was showing. I had time. Listen man, and this is the funny thing too. You can always tell when comics are talking behind your back when a comic brings something up and then another one brings up the same thing. That means they're like, what the fuck? But I'm gonna agree with this.

Starting point is 00:10:20 Yeah. You're right. Yeah. I get more Italian when I'm around Versi. And it's, he brings it out of you're right. Yeah, I get more Italian when I'm around Versi and it's he brings it out of you right All the sudden yeah, I'm fucking from revimes and juices are up. Yeah Very it's hard not to get it's because I am Italian. I have Italian in it I think I'm like half, maybe really less than half. I just pictured you Irish forever.

Starting point is 00:10:49 No, my father is a fucking Ginseng. Oh, well, what is that? My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. Dude, I used to have that joke in my act about.

Starting point is 00:11:00 My friends though, that become Italian, like off the boat Italian, but they're not. They're like second generation. As soon as you go to the though, that become Italian, like off the bow to Italian, but they're not, they're like second generation. As soon as you go to the restaurant, they're like, yeah, let me get the pasta bejou. That was, I messed up. Yeah, right? Yeah, I'm hard getting ate though.

Starting point is 00:11:14 Those, my friend Paul, God love you. Paul G, he does that. Like when he is restaurant, he's Italian restaurant, he goes, but he's very like, hey, how you doing? This is Paul from Casaleitos. Like when he is restaurant is Italian restaurant he goes hey, but he's very like hey, how you doing this is Paul from Casa Léa those I get the path of a jewel yeah

Starting point is 00:11:35 What else is different about this because I haven't been on the show and I think like I don't know like seven or eight years and The difference now is it's just a one-on-one. This is a lot more, this is a lot different. You know, usually you're splitting your focus, your amen at Mike, your amen at Brendan, your amen at May, and now it's just, we just have a laser, it's just a laser focus. It's gonna be, I'm gonna say two things about it.

Starting point is 00:11:57 Two things. Yes, that's true. It was getting to the point where I still do the regs. Once in a while, we'll have a couple people on. Sure. But it was too much, up my patience and I wasn't able to, I used to have, I mean, Dan, Joe, Yannis, Lewis, Nate,

Starting point is 00:12:17 you guys, I could fuck, I could deal with it. I couldn't, I was just too, I just didn't like it anymore. And the podcast always went too long. Two more people, three more people talking. It's a two hour, it's like, I just didn't want to do it anymore. I wanted to do the podcast, but I wanted to just sit down with one person, maybe two, and just shoot the shit.

Starting point is 00:12:38 I love the throne thing. Yeah, dude, it's just, it's an easier setup. It's a funer thing. It's just, it's better for me. That's a funer thing. It's better for me. That's one. Number two, you're a good looking man. And I didn't notice it when we had the other fucking things to make kids on.

Starting point is 00:12:52 Really? I thought that was my point. That's why I purposely surrounded myself with them. Was to go to Elephant. You don't need to say that, you're a fine, I mean, you keep washing your faces. See, I mean, I'm just, I used to have a little foot away from you, but that one foot. This is a different, you keep washing your face. See it? I mean, I'm heels. I used to have a little foot away from you,

Starting point is 00:13:05 but that one foot. This is a different, you know. Those little dreamy, that was green ice. Those dreams. Hey, thank you very much. My God, your hair. Rockin'.

Starting point is 00:13:16 I'm out here, you know? I'm trying. The braids are starting to come in. I'm noticing every once in a while though. Yeah, get that medicine, baby. You can't do the gray. I think I'd like to go a nice, Clooney salt pepper at some point.

Starting point is 00:13:27 I think that's because you have a young face. Yeah, and you want, you want to start doing stuff of your age. I guess, I mean, I'll, I'll play a 21 year old if I get booked on something for your, but I don't think I can do that. Oh yeah, like that. There you go.

Starting point is 00:13:41 I mean, you got James Bond. What's his name again? Daniel Craig. Dan, that's not you go. I mean, you got James Bond, what's his name again? Daniel Craig. That's not Daniel Craig, you dumb. You don't talk anymore. Daniel Joe talk. That guy, what appears, thank you. Daniel Craig's not even there.

Starting point is 00:13:57 So, did you bond? Yeah, but James Bond, before Daniel Craig is Pierce Bronson. Did you know that? I knew there were other ones, yeah, I knew. Oh my God, I mean, he's, Yeah, but James Bond before Daniel Craig is Pierce Bronson. Did you know that? I knew there were other ones, yeah, I knew. Oh my God, I mean, he's what he- I'm older you. He's nine. Oh, he's nine.

Starting point is 00:14:12 He's nine. Yeah. George Clooney is the only one I think pulls it off. Not the only one. The one who pulls off grade the best. Yeah, and he also has got, but I'm also jealous, he's got a great beard to he can grow a thick you know and like even that looks good you know he's a good looking man he also got famous great when he was on er he was

He's older than me Look at the one next to the one that you have hovering over. That one, we look like, now, why did you go down? No, the one next. Because he's still the other way though.

Yeah. You know, now we're, now here's the thing.

Starting point is 00:16:25 You're part of, here's the scenario. You're part of Irish Goodbye. Yes. And now all those are gone. It's funny. There's never been. You can't, you guys ended. Here's the scenario.

Starting point is 00:16:38 We did. The last episode is just probably releasing after this comes out or already has come out. But it was just such a weird thing. And I, you know, Canon, you know, basically, you know, he got this job at Barstool and it was under contract and they were negotiating. So for six months, we knew we were ending the podcast. We had to end the podcast because they had like a non-compete, couldn't do any other projects,

Starting point is 00:17:03 whatever. The great opportunity for him, a ton of money for him. So where everyone was like, of course, go get your fucking bag, you know? And then, as of six months, the prog, it just kept going and kept going. So we were kind of like in this weird, you know, purgatory of when's the show gonna end.

Starting point is 00:17:17 And then Dave Portnoy bought back the company. And immediately all of his, you know, deals, all that went away. Wow. And they were like basically like well You could still do the show now, I guess, but we had already we had all even like the producer We had all kind of grieved it and come to terms with it ending and being like we were already kind of Mentally past it. So then we were like well, let's still kind of wind it down anyway And of course the second we announced that it's ending, there's been like more views on it than ever.

Starting point is 00:17:47 Outcry, every single comic, it's Gangfest giving us. The Jota Rosa gave me a 30 minute impassioned plea being like, you guys are making a terrible mistake. Just every single person has been like, don't do this, which is so funny because it has those people been there the last three years. It would have been, it's so funny when people do it.

Starting point is 00:18:05 Give me one sec one sec. This is the last YKWD. Yeah, you should. No, I'm serious. This is it. I'm done. We're out. Yeah, I'm out.

Starting point is 00:18:14 So unless all you people go to Patreon.com and sign it for a year, it's over. I'm starting a podcast called, this is the last episode of the podcast. We'll work on the titles a little longer. It's a little, not good for teaching. Maybe a bus if you ever bus. This is the last episode of the podcast unless you watch the next one.

Starting point is 00:18:35 Yes, please do and subscribe. What do you quit the thing? He gets a gig, a Chrissy D out of the gate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Which is great. See, shockingly, so, surprisingly quick. Now, how long before we lose, uh, sagalo to health or order wrap or suicide? To suicide. Uh, I don't know. I think he is, you know, I, here's the thing. Everyone, everyone like no matter how much anyone wants to give

Starting point is 00:19:02 him shit for the wrap, like he is very good at it You know what I mean like you watching you go the guy Oh, we always laugh and we make fun of him like man if you are writing your jokes like you're writing There's word play. There's intricate puns. There's like nuance. It's amazing Get up, but you know, but then people will comment being like this is what you should do fuck the comedy You know, which then is obviously I would understand I would arguably be. But is somebody gonna wanna see a fat M&M? I don't know, I mean, there's, there's, I would call, I would change my name to peanut M&M.

Starting point is 00:19:31 That's fun, right? Fun, peanut M&M. Let's, let's, let's pitch it. I love that. He comes out in the out, you know what I mean? Yeah, in the big yellow, he's the big yellow, yeah. I think that could, I don't know, I mean, I don't know what he's gonna,

Starting point is 00:19:43 I think he wants to do a bunch of stuff. He wants to record a special, but he loves the rap, you know? But he loves, he, well look, he's good at rap, but I mean, dude, what a, first of all, tough thing to get into, tough thing to get into in your 30s. Yeah, but those are the clips that are blowing up for him right now. He's got like millions of views on his rap. Yeah, I mean, look man, you never know.

Starting point is 00:20:08 You have to kill something. You have to kill the past life to go to the next one. Yeah. You can't be holding on to it. So it's probably good that that ended because even you, dude, I mean, you're a social media guy. You know how to, I mean, you are an influencer. You do videos that get millions of views, right?

Starting point is 00:20:31 And you produce your own stuff, you write your own thing, you film it, you edit it, I mean, you're a one-stop shop. Yeah, one-stop shop of doing too much feels like, but that's why, not to transition into worse, but that's why, with this special, that's coming out. Do you feel fucking hair was made for you to talk like that? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:20:50 Oh, sure. Where? A little thing pops. Yeah, yeah. It's an accent, you know? When I had hair, dude, to have that, I always felt whip the one little hair that was kind of rogue. A little razor remote.

Starting point is 00:21:00 Yeah, and you kind of go like that and it swips, you know, talking to a girl and it fops in your face and then you, she'll put it away. But see and you kind of go like that and just whips it out talking to a girl and it swaps in your face and then you she'll put it away. But see that kind of drive what I'm on stage it kind of drives me crazy a little bit. So I find myself like brushing my hair a lot in between jokes which is hot I guess. I don't know maybe hopefully. Hot right? Yeah very hot. Yeah yeah. Yeah. I'll just keep working Maybe, hopefully. Hot, right? Yeah, very hot. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I'll just keep working that into the pod.

Starting point is 00:21:28 But Joe's really gay, so I'm not gonna. You know. But that's the thing though. It's like, you know, it feels like more than ever we're in this thing of like, you gotta do everything yourself. And there's nothing more I want to do than like work with my funny friends and make funny things, whether that's like podcasts, videos, TV shows, all of that stuff, like that's the most fun.

Starting point is 00:21:48 Doing all this on your own sucks. It's like so much work and it's really exhausting, but it feels like, you know, everybody has their own career path and then you can occasionally get together to make fun. But like you guys are doing with the rigs, right? Or it's like you guys all had to go do your own thing. And now you're all, you came back, you do this and now it's like, and now that's seeing a lot of success. Well, I do it, I'm doing a lot of shit right now. Yeah, you're doing an insane amount.

Starting point is 00:22:11 A sane amount of stuff, but, you know, the bonfire, I mean, I just, I love doing it. Sure. Working with Jay's, it's just, I mean, it's just easy. Yeah. You know, and the transition was pretty good. You know, I mean, it was weird to transition, you know, such a, you know, I mean, he's a cornerstone

Starting point is 00:22:33 of the building, Dan Soda. Sure. But I'm glad the show's still going on. The fans, most of the fans are happy about it. Some of them are fucking like fuck bobby stinks, which I get, I'm not a, you know, if you're a Dan fan, you know, I get it. Yeah. Fine, but it a, you know, if you're a Dan Finn, you know, I get it. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:22:46 Fine, but it's, you know. You're the stepdad. You're coming in there, never, you're never gonna be the, you're never gonna be the original dad, but you can be the next best thing. Yeah, but I'm cool with that. I understand that shit.

Starting point is 00:22:58 And then, but, you know, a bone to pick, I love doing. Yeah. Yeah, me and Versa have been doing stuff. We were always looking for something to do together. Right. And any time we did a podcast, we'd always like, dude, I got a bone to pick with you. And we were like, let's, you know, let's do that.

Starting point is 00:23:11 I wanted to do it. I did that on my show for a minute, and then I was like, this is what me and him should be doing. That thing's killing it. Right. And then of course, YKWD, and then the regs, the regs is more of like a passion thing, though. We're like, fucking, let's just get together.

Starting point is 00:23:26 We should have did this years ago. Yeah. And, you know, that was the best podcast on the planet for a while. Yeah, you guys together, it's like, it's like the perfect chemistry. But you guys all have your different strengths at all, complement one another.

Starting point is 00:23:40 It's awesome. So we should have been doing, I mean, imagine if we stayed just doing that. But that's the thing though. It's like, I don't I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I We got the rigs We should put all our focus on today. You know what I mean? Lewis might not have even started gas like like all of this stuff What I said it would have been better. Yeah It's a butterfly effect. They would have ruined you know, it would have been better for you for sure You had a control of all this you would have had Lewis under your thumb and no no no no I would have gave it. I would have to give everybody you know equal everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, in hindsight

Starting point is 00:24:30 Yeah, even Deroza me and Deroza was supposed to I I actually offered Deroza to be partners with you know what dude. Oh, I was like dude We should whatever was put it down the middle me and you do this and he was like he was like yeah, I'll do it hold on Oh, Sal's calling do this. And he was like, he was like, yeah, I'll do it. Hold on, oh, Sal's calling. Hold on, let me just, Burr, it was perfect. That was, yeah, he has many different coats. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:24:51 Yeah, dude, it's, but I love doing all the stuff I'm doing. I love it. Should I be doing, you know, I do this podcast once a week, which is great, make no money. Sure. All the money that I make on it goes back out of it.

Starting point is 00:25:09 Yeah, do you have a lot of producers that you have? Yeah, I know, but this is a lot of overhead in this thing, huh? Oh my god. He's got to like shut the fuck up, but it's like, no, no, no, they should be getting more, which I give more. Sure. These guys kill it, so it's, but we're trying, I'm trying to rearrange things.

Starting point is 00:25:27 We'll see what happens. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I've been thinking about that because I'm doing it, look dude, I'm writing two things on the side and I have things going on. It's like, and then you know this, you know this, you're a dad, I had a conversation with Quinn about this. It's like, I'm doing all this stuff I love to do.

Starting point is 00:25:44 Most of it doesn't make me much money or any But I Mean what the fuck you gonna do here's the funny thing what I know one of the things we do with here's the scenario is when the Like probably like six months ago We were we were all at a point where we were just burnt out We were just doing too much. We were recording an episode. Then we were recording like two Patreon episodes. We had like 300 hours of Patreon content on our Patreon.

Starting point is 00:26:13 And we were just doing so much that we were so burnt out and really not having fun. Like I was like dreading coming here. We were fighting and bickering all the time. It wasn't fun. And then eventually I was like, we should just stop doing the Patreon, which is the end to this is what you think, because you're like, that's direct money, super-fans of,

Starting point is 00:26:30 and we'll still put the regular episode up early on that, and people have all the backlog, but we're doing so much, no one could possibly keep up with all that content, and we're just burning ourselves out. And the second we stopped doing that, we had so much more fun. And like, yeah, we lost money,

Starting point is 00:26:47 but it was like we immediately, the product, the free product was way better because we were having way more fun and enjoying it more. So it's like, oh, that's, that's the thing. It's like, never forget that. Like if that comes at the price of like, oh, I'm gonna lose a few hundred bucks a month or whatever,

Starting point is 00:26:59 it's like, but who cares? But what's the point of that if all of the things are shitty? You know? Well, yeah, it's a hard decision to make. Yeah. You know, because the Patreon that, you know, I use to pay all these to make this stuff happen. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:17 You know, I don't really, after taxes and after I pay these fuckers, I don't really make money. Right. You know what I mean? I I don't really make money. Right. You know what I mean? I'm probably lose a little money. But, you know, I don't know. The Patreon fans, I really like them

Starting point is 00:27:32 because they're loyal. Sure. They show up to the live things. We still have a bunch of people on the Patreon. That are like just like, it's just supporting it. They did. They get the episode. Yeah, people just forgot.

Starting point is 00:27:43 We have a bunch of fans on the the patreon what's going on here Danny Hang on Danny my phone died Danny. Sorry. Did you text me? All right, don't text me unless it's important Danny. I mean is this These are the doing a show I'm literally said, I'll have my phone up here. If something you wanna text me to ask or whatever, something comes up, you can text me, and you put a group text so I see it. So these are people you wanna pay for.

Starting point is 00:28:16 This is the last episode of a wide-time. There you go, now you got it. I'm done. If I quit this dude, if I quit, like it. You'd be free. I know. You'd finally be free. I should. I'm done. Yeah, quit this dude. If I quit like it be free. I know you'd finally be free. I Should I'm serious. It's one of those things. I should stop this podcast. Yeah Now I'm gonna get a bunch of hate from all your Patreon and people will be like, why would you tell them to stop?

Starting point is 00:28:38 But I mean, I mean really I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. I mean, I just don't know the throne I don't know I don't know what to do with all this shit The layers of only can be fuck guys going cuz you're like there's too much merch. I just know I have too much swag From people god forbid we get rid of this thing. I mean god Yeah, I got that I got the table. I got so much shit Remember the old table. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where is that? What's going on with that?

Starting point is 00:29:06 The fucking Liz stuck it somewhere. She probably burned it. And then you ask her for it. I don't know what the fuck it is. Yeah, yeah. Liz gets violent. I never noticed that. Ah, you're a Liz.

Starting point is 00:29:17 Dude, you're an array of sunshine. Yeah. Well, can I tell you something about that? Sure. Listen, Mike, look, I've known you for a long time for a friend of mine. But you do have a professional constantly showing up early for spots, never miss.

Starting point is 00:29:34 That, the con. Yes, that, that's smart. That's one of my most charming characteristics. That's endearing. Yeah, the fact. Yeah, you're an actor. You're a con. Yeah, it's almost like you're English, but you're an act you're a good yeah it's almost like your English but you have an American act yeah yeah

Starting point is 00:29:48 does that make sense yeah yeah yeah try try doing saying all that stuff with an English accent it might come off less abrasive I'm a little bit in Deering and dude you need to have an English accent more tolerable okay you know like I'll be Liz maybe maybe English, English, you're being ready. Sure, I'll try, I can't really do that. Hello, Fini. Hello Liz, how you doing?

Starting point is 00:30:12 Duh, ugh. Oh, that's a bit of a shame in it. You were out of the English, dude. And next time I'm a serial, I'll talk in an accent and then she'll throw her shoe at me. Um, she won't. Yeah, yeah. She actually was a big part of helping me with the, you know, with making this special by the way, which is like, you know, which, you know, I weathered, I weathered she did

Starting point is 00:30:35 it begrudgingly or not. She was huge. She was a huge help because she had to coordinate everything and do all that. So she was, uh, yeah, I have to thank her a lot for that. Cause that was a lot of fun. Well, S.D. loves you. I love her. She's great. She paid my rent the last year and a half, you know, so, so which is, I mean, she loved you out of the gate, which was because of you though. Wow. No, S.D. doesn't listen. S.D. loves who she loves. You know, they mean, but you got me in the room. Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad I finally did.

Starting point is 00:31:04 It was sad because we got cannon in. Yeah. And she was on the fence with him. Right. And the cannon's so funny, dude. Yeah. He's the murderer. I mean, he should be in.

Starting point is 00:31:15 And then we got a sagilogun in. Sure. And you were just sitting at the bar. Well, I had the pre-COVID on, we're gonna get an audition soon. The tape has been submitted, then the world ended. And so it was kind of like a freeze. And then people started coming,

Starting point is 00:31:29 then they started doing auditions again. And then it was like the wall broke down. And there were people streaming across the border. They were just like tens of comedians auditioning every week. And then it was trans. Yeah, and then, and then another woman. Yeah, tripping trans. Yeah, and then I put another women in the face. Yeah, tripping them.

Starting point is 00:31:46 Yeah. And then it was crazy. Sackalo and I got in within a week of one another, which was great. But it was funny that the day Sackalo got in, you're like, you call me. You're like, all right, next week. You're like, you immediately. Well, listen, dude, you can't have Sackalo and Cannon in, and then you're just sitting at the bar. I was like, you know, all right, let's make this happen.

Starting point is 00:32:09 Yeah, I mean, listen, I feel like my story was a little bit longer to get in there than most, but it's like it was one of the things where had I maybe got in pre-pandemic or right before the pandemic, I might have been, but I'm going through the cracks,

Starting point is 00:32:21 because it's like, you know, also it's like, you know, two years now, funnier than I was then, but also like, yeah, like you just got in and then everything ended. It's like, who knows? There's way less spots to go around. I might have, yeah, I might be out. So I guess it all worked out. Yeah. And that's the loves you. Yeah. I think, but I think that also helped because I was so emotionally over getting in there because she, because I did so much time. It'd been like three years. So I was like, oh, I'm just not gonna work this club and it's fine. So I'll just move on.

Starting point is 00:32:47 And then you called me out of the blue with this audition and I was like already, like almost not like indignant or angry about it, but I'm just like, okay, like I'm gonna go in there and do what I do. And then the way you should be. Yeah, yeah. It's right dude, anything I got, when I got into the cellar, I was at the Boston.

Starting point is 00:33:04 I got rejected by all the other clubs. And I didn't even know the cellar was, and my Maddie Frost was like, dude, come over here, you gotta do a set. He just said, you gotta do a set. I went over, I did a set, I walked off, and I killed. Yeah. I didn't even know what to fuck, I don't care.

Starting point is 00:33:18 Yeah. I didn't know what I was doing. SD was there, she used to sit in the room, the whole show. Oh, that's a long time. She used to Friday and Saturday night, there was a chair by the door, as she was still is. With a clipboard, that's as these chairs. Oh, the clipboard.

Starting point is 00:33:31 She used to sit there with a clipboard and watch every fucking comic. She didn't start going upstairs until later. Yeah. But she was in the room, dude. That was, and then when you knew, like I didn't even know what it was, she was just nice to me out of the gate.

Starting point is 00:33:46 Right. And who was it? Manny, the owner, didn't want. Yeah. Manny was like, oh no. Oh, he didn't think it was funny. She had a fight for me. Wow.

Starting point is 00:33:55 He didn't want me. The fuck, he had an owner was like, I don't get it. Were you too blue? Were you very blue back then? Yeah. That was blue. But then a year later,

Starting point is 00:34:04 Manny started watching me, and then he came up to me. He was like, you know, I But then a year later, Manny started watching me, and then he came up to me, I was like, you know, I didn't really get you, but now I understand you're very funny, kid. Right. That was like the nod. Yeah, yeah, you know, getting Manny. Well, that was the thing, too.

Starting point is 00:34:16 It's like you hear the lords, kind of like the Wizard of Oz, the man behind the curtain, where everyone's like, oh, you know, even when you, if you do audition, like I see, don't expect like a, like a pep talk once you get off stage, she's not gonna be like, welcome to the cellar

Starting point is 00:34:30 and you did great and all that, she's just gonna be like send of ails and then that's it. And she's very cold or she just leaves and then you have to just kind of walk around and hope that she talks to you or get the hint and leave, but it was the opposite of that. She was so nice and so warm and so friendly to me from the beginning that I was like,

Starting point is 00:34:48 are we talking about the same? Are you the same S.T. that I've heard? You know, she's great. Yeah. Look, like Patrice always said, what's good for you is good. You know, some people love Lucian. Right. Right.

Starting point is 00:34:59 I thought it was a ghoul, fucking ghoul, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, dying fingers. You know, yeah, it is what. Yeah, dying fingers, you know. Yeah, it is what it is, you know. But you're in. Yeah. And then you shut your special. Yeah, I tried to. Yeah, what are your specials?

Starting point is 00:35:13 Tell me about the special though. So it's, it's called Mike Fieny and I did the comedy seller. It comes out October 27th. So I think it's already out now. Maybe if you're on Patreon, it's going to come out in a few days. Where is it? On my YouTube channel, youtube.com, slash Mike Fienicomedy.

Starting point is 00:35:26 Now, how come you never didn't put it on punchup.life? Well, first off, I talked to people at, like we talked to people at Netflix and HBO and who owns the problem right now, which is just perfect timing and the story of my life, is this whole strike thing that's happening. It's like, now with them only just now coming back to work for things. It's like the line of like contracts that they had already been in

Starting point is 00:35:48 negotiations with and everything kind of froze. It's just resuming. So they basically, well, if you want to hold this for like another six or so months, we can maybe discuss what could happen down the line. It was this whole like kicking the can. Like we can't look at this now, but you know but we'd love to at some point in the future. So it's just a matter of I just would rather, and this project specifically,

Starting point is 00:36:10 so I wanted to do something different. I also think that for the most part, for at least people where I'm at in my career, the hour special is unnecessary and dead. Like I think if you're at a level where you have enough fans, where they demand an hour for you from you, that's great, but like no one needs. So the person in Netflix told me the average watch time of an hour comedy

Starting point is 00:36:31 special is 24 minutes. So sick of these far. Yeah, on your network because you special stink. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. So is like, yeah, you got the the chicken or dog comes out. Yeah yeah I'm out after 20 minutes stop doing analytics on shitty comments sure yeah do do analytics on shapel louis right billy yeah hour but those are also the people that you want to see those are the people an hour from you know what I mean where it's like you know but these these these analytics they keep they keep trying to figure out they keep trying to figure out the way to do comedy. We already did it.

Starting point is 00:37:08 The funny motherfuckers, get a special. And the unfunny people don't. But the networks keep giving, because they wanna be inclusive. They keep giving all these people, and they keep trying to find a different avenue of funny, because they're sick of it. They're sick of stand-up.

Starting point is 00:37:26 Yeah. They don't understand that stand-up is not for them. Stand-up is for the people. And by the way, there isn't inclusive. If you want to be inclusive, there are hilarious comedians of every color-shaped size and creed, but you're choosing the ones who are fucking 23 years old and five years in. Listen, corporate fucking hello Say that with it. Can you say that with a people of all shapes and colors all size of the rainbow orientation creed?

Starting point is 00:37:51 What not what have you? I'll just to be the new Russell I'm telling you if I could talk with his with his dictionary with his language ability That would be great fucking I'm button rippy shirt down the middle Yeah, just throw all There are yet to get a bunch of necklaces from chicken feet apart. And why are you people, you know, these more than? This is a price from a $7,000. I see, if I had to, I'd be all those bristles on that.

Starting point is 00:38:11 I love my dis me when I ate a coachy and a rassale in Bangladesh. So I wanted to come up with something that was a little original, because right now, especially, it feels like there's so many comedians, it feels like we were talking on the phone, there's a special every week now.

Starting point is 00:38:25 Buddy, I have people calling me to be on the show. Yeah. Hey, can I, and I'm like, yeah, I mean, I mean, I want to be promoted specials until my special comes out. Yeah, it's a revolving door. It's so crazy how many people, because it costs so little to make your own special, and you can edit it, and everything can be done

Starting point is 00:38:45 Right on a computer now with a very small budget and a very small crew Yeah, so I wanted to come up with something that differentiated me from just the rest of like Straight on camera and then one little side shot and then just hears me on this stage for an hour So I figured I hadn't seen this done of like the four rooms of the comedy seller, the fat black, pussycat lounge, the bar, a village underground and comedy seller. Bunch, I mean dozens of comedy specialists, yours included been shot at the village underground.

Starting point is 00:39:13 Bunch have been shot at. First one ever. First comedy specialist shot at the seller. And then McDougal Street. And then a first one to shoot the village underground. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And every phone, again, like podcasting. Walked so we could run. I mean dude. Yeah. I'm the first one to shoot the village underground. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And every phone, again, like podcasting. Walked so we could run.

Starting point is 00:39:27 I mean, dude, yeah. I'm the mother of eggs. So I was trying to find my own walks that we could run. So I know people have done success with like going to bouncing around other clubs in the city and kind of there's almost as like documentary style. So I was like, I just want to showcase what it's like working at the Comedy Cellar,

Starting point is 00:39:42 the greatest club in the world in terms of like, 80 shows a week, everyone is sold out. That's unbelievable, especially for you who's worked here when it was empty, or when you guys would have to sit in the audience to make it look full, or the wait staff, or whatever. And so it's like, so now they do 80 shows a week, and I wanted to capture at least this moment in time as a comedian who's working these four rooms.

Starting point is 00:40:03 So I did all four rooms of the seller in one night. And I don't think anybody's ever shot anything in either the fat black, the bar is new comparatively. So it's like, so I, and I pitched this to multiple production companies. And all of them were like, can't be done impossible to shoot. None of it will match. It's gonna, one company quoted me at two hundred thousand dollars to shoot it

Starting point is 00:40:27 I mean it's just like can I please do I know this company? Yeah For sure you do I do yeah, absolutely you do don't worry about who let's I can introduce really quick though. Yeah, yeah How close do I know them? I don't know, but I know you do know them, for sure. Really? Yeah, I don't know how close you are with them. $200,000. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like to like shoot it the way, you know, and they had like an elaborate,

Starting point is 00:40:52 but I'm like, here's the thing I was like, you're not, because they're like, it's not gonna match and all this stuff. And I'm trying to explain to them, like I had this vision, I came up with this idea, April of 2022. And this was like this concept where I'm like, I wanna do it in these four rooms,

Starting point is 00:41:04 they could just show highlights from each of it and just make that and make it like a short, tight, fun thing and just fucking jokes, you know? And again, no one wanted to do it, or they did for an exorbitant price. And they were still like, they didn't believe in it. I had so many conference calls with people. So then I just got to the point where I'm like,

Starting point is 00:41:22 fuck it, like everything else, I'll just do it myself. So I got together like a skeleton crew of just like a dream team of people where I got James Webb was my DP, who's the one who... You got James Webb? Yeah, who shot. That's not funny. But he shot.

Starting point is 00:41:38 Hello, you got James Webb. Oh, James Webb, I did. Oh, boy. He shot Norman Zephyl Special, San Marills Zephyl Special, he shot a Zephyl Special, he shot a bunch of million things. And he just, when I pitched it to him, everybody else that I pitched it to was like,

Starting point is 00:41:51 yeah, I mean, that seems like a lot of fucking work, but I guess we could try to do it, and we'd have to even think, he immediately was like, fuck yes, dude, I love that. Let's try and do it. He's like, it's gonna be hard to shit, and to this day, he's like, it's the hardest special I've ever shot in my life.

Starting point is 00:42:04 He's like, but let's do it. I got Nicole Lyons, my podcast producer, to be the one of the camera operators. I got Toby McMullen from RU Garbage, to be my other camera operator. Just friends taking out favors, them helping me out. We had, and we did it again, in just on like a Tuesday night.

Starting point is 00:42:21 So we had, it was during the showcase show. So it's not like, I think, first off, none of the audience were there for me. So it's like, there's that element of like, I'm having to win over these crowds. I'm a stranger to them, which is different from a comedy special where you're selling tickets.

Starting point is 00:42:34 So at least you have at least half or more of that are your fans that are there or whatever. So there's nobody knows who I am in any of these audiences. I'm also doing a showcase that, I'm doing the 15-minute set. So this is just a normal night at the seller, you know, five comics on each show. So it's 15 minutes, 15 minutes, 15 minutes, 15 minutes.

Starting point is 00:42:51 That's what I did and I ended up taking, well, I'll get to that. But because of that, because it was a regular showcase show and I'm working with Liz and doing this, she was like, I don't want to, I don't want you to like mess anything up, like lighting wise or anything that will distract the other comics when they go onstage and like even if it mentally fucks them up for a second,

Starting point is 00:43:09 I mean, like, why does it look different in here? You know what I mean? It takes you out of it, which is like, I respected. So we added zero lights to this, which again made it more difficult. We had, we like got rid of, I think like one seat in each room. So we were very narrowly, we basically shot, shot, set up in a room. I did my set, and then we broke everything down, ran to the next room, and then did that around the cellar. So, do you shot everything in one night? Shot everything we did. Well, we, how many two nights? We did two nights. So we did a total of, well, and the bar only had one show on Wednesday. So we did

Starting point is 00:43:40 seven sets I had to run around. I was laughing because I know Liz's temperament on the second night. Yeah, yeah, a lot, a lot less excited, you know, but we had so much. Hello Liz, back for another one, eh? Yeah, round about we go. And one more round the horn. Round two. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:46:07 So I'm on like, new dad, no sleep, new born. I have like, what I see when I watch it is like deep purple bags under my eyes from being on no sleep and the stress of doing and the stress of coordinating it and doing it with Liz and trying to figure out if this can actually be shot. You know what I mean? Why don't you say no sleep? doing it with Liz and trying to figure out if this can actually be shot, you know what I mean? What are you saying, No, Steve?

Starting point is 00:46:26 Cause me and you are like in the same type of social construct. Right. I have other people, I have a friends of mine, another friend of mine is having a baby, and the other people just had a baby. And they were like, you gotta get the night nurse. Oh. Like the first couple weeks ago.

Starting point is 00:46:44 And they were like, oh yeah, yeah, I'm like, what? Yeah, must be nice to have unlimited money. I mean, dude, it's just so funny to hear people, dude, you gotta do it. Yeah. It's like, wow, like, I remember the first month first four waking up in the, like I was like, please let my tits work.

Starting point is 00:47:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Please go, I let my wife's tits work. Cause if her tits work, I get to sleep. Sure. Because I don't have, she's gonna suck on that. You gotta wake up every three hours, feed them, maybe you're still up.

Starting point is 00:47:10 Anyway, because it's like the screaming you're up every hour, then you're not only getting, I wouldn't be. If my wife's, and they didn't work, by the way, if her tits worked, I remember, I remember one night, her crying, with her big fake tits. And I had things on both of them.

Starting point is 00:47:26 And I'm just holding her tits, praying, God, let milk come out of this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And just a drip, yeah, drip. And I was like, fuck, and I had to go get formula in the middle of the night and time square. Come back. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Every night it was like every, she would do one and then I would do one.

Starting point is 00:47:43 Sure, yeah, it's your turn, you know what I mean. You have to heat it and then test it. Brutal, dude. It's all but but brutal. Best thing in the world. It's one of those sitting there with your baby. Yeah, when they get when they get going and then you look up and you see these eyes. Yeah, when they're looking at you going, who the fuck is this? Yeah, yeah. I'm like, I can't even fully see you yet. You're just like a shape blob. I don't know why you would want to give that to some Haitian lady. Because it's hard.

Starting point is 00:48:09 Yeah. You know what I mean? Why? Because it's hard work and it's it's easier to do this. Yeah, dude, I get it. And I was the biggest baby ever with sleep. I am like, before having this kid,

Starting point is 00:48:24 I'm like, if I don't get, if I get seven hours of sleep, I'm like a cranky prick, a Lee entire day. Yes, yes, yes. All right, I need moussees. And so, but I, but this was like such a different experience where I was like, yeah, this first four months, it was a war, it was hell, it was,

Starting point is 00:48:40 on, Eric and I regularly were like, we made a terrible, terrible mistake having this kid. It was a night, like this is, we have fun. You said that out loud? Many times, hundreds of times, baby. And like with like tears in our eyes, being like, can we give it back? Like we made like awful,

Starting point is 00:48:56 well like what's the adoption list look like? And then, but then the second, the second like, you know, four months and the second he started sleeping through the night when he starts smiling, when he starts looking at you, then now it's like, he's gonna be a year and two weeks and it's like, now I'm like, this is the fuck, it's hard to even leave him to come here, you know, like, so it's, it's the best, but, um, so going back to that, I'm, I'm on 10, we, um, you know, not even two month old at home, screaming, crying, trying to get all this logistics, so there's all that going on, so I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm deciding I'm directing it. And then I got the wild hair up my ass of being like, that's not enough to already have this concept and shoot this and direct this. I'm gonna edit this myself because I don't already have

Starting point is 00:49:38 enough on my plate, so I decided I directed it, I edited it and I got it and I produced it, I made it happen and I got it, and I produced it, I made it happen, and it's like, thank God for the, you know, James and Nicole and Toby for like being there with me to do it, but the edit took so long because it's like, I had to go through all these sets, and then when I was watching that, that's when I started realizing I was like,

Starting point is 00:49:57 you know, maybe I'll make this an hour, maybe I'll make this 45 minutes, and the more I'm looking at it, I was like, again, the thing of like, I don't think anybody needs an hour for me. I saw people like Stavrosros and Akash Singh and a bunch of people putting out these shorter specials that were doing really well and I just felt a little fatigue. I feel like there's a fatigue with standup right now with like a lot of long form stuff so I'm like, and this tiktok, a vacation of the fucking world. So I'm like,

Starting point is 00:50:19 I edited this thing down to just literally getting rid of all of the fat and I was it's fucking it was originally 25 minutes and then I was talking with Ari because I had some like I didn't have any Conversations in between there's no documentary style It does show me like going to other rooms and like laughing with comics But there's not it that's just like it doesn't even have sound there's like music playing It's just kind of b-roll kind of stuff and then I decided I was talking to Ari about it And he was like just trim that even more and just like get rid-roll kind of stuff. And then I decided, I was talking to Ari about it and he was like, just trim that even more and just like get rid of any ounce of fat on it.

Starting point is 00:50:48 So now it's like almost exactly 20 minutes. It's like 20, it's just under 21 minutes. And it is just, I could say this as a person who, as you know, when you have to watch your own stuff back, you just want to kill yourself. And so, I probably should have watched my special 10 more times. Yeah. And made 10 more rounds about it, I just can't do it.

Starting point is 00:51:10 It's awful. It's the worst. It's the worst in the world. And especially as you get old, as the months of progress, I shot this last January. I shot this in January. So it's like, as this is progressed, I'm like, oh god, this joke is so much better now.

Starting point is 00:51:22 I should have said this thing. I should have said this. And I'm the only one responsible for it. So it's like, I had to this joke is so much better now. I should have said this thing. I should have said this. And I'm the only one responsible for it. So it's like I had to like kick my own ass to getting here. And then the problems that came with it, the technical problems of like the first night, all of the footage, all of the sound

Starting point is 00:51:36 and the seller got corrupted. So that sets out. The second night, you know, the village underground lighting didn't match. So I can't even use that set. So it was like, it was all of these little like technical issues that I had to like work around in addition to all of the things with it.

Starting point is 00:51:51 So I got it down, it is a fast 20 minutes. And I'm saying this as a person who now, again, watching her own stuff, I can watch it and by the end of it, not when I kill myself. And I just say something. You don't have to use the expression, it's a fast 20 minutes. 20 minutes is fast. It say something. Yeah, you don't have to use the expression. It's a fast 20 minutes. 20 minutes is fast.

Starting point is 00:52:07 It's fast. Yeah, you, but no, but you've, I've seen it's a fast two hour. I've seen it's a fast hour and a half. I've seen things that are 20 minutes that feel like an hour. You know what I mean? Like Sagalos, Sagalos set. Yeah, no.

Starting point is 00:52:19 I'm able to watch this without wanting to kill myself. I guess it's the point of that. But it's just, it's fucking, you just putting it out there. I'm putting kill myself. I guess it's the point of that, but so it's just, it's fucking, you just putting it out there. I'm putting it out, I'm doing, putting it out on YouTube. I just want it, because again, I was like, the only people that I would be interested in is having it again, because it was like a Netflix

Starting point is 00:52:37 or like an HBO or something like that because of the procedure comes with that and also the audience that it gives, but like, I don't. I wanna tell you something right now, you should look into punchup.live. I might do that. Here's why. Here's why.

Starting point is 00:52:49 You're gonna put it on YouTube, like every fucking asshole, Ari, Big J, look at their assholes. I love those kids. But I mean, everybody, high in low. Right. And putting the thing on YouTube. Right.

Starting point is 00:53:02 Punching, and you're getting nothing for it. You're just working for YouTube. You're just working for YouTube. You're creating content for YouTube to get advertisers to make money, right? Well, no, for me, that's not even why I'm doing it. I'm doing it to. Let me finish though. Punchup.live. You get those emails. Yeah. You get those emails and you get to go and see, I got a lot of people bought it here, here, here, here. I want to book shows there and I'm sending emails out. Hey, and you get to, you don't get that with Instagram. You don't get that with Facebook. You don't get that with YouTube. You get the data that you

Starting point is 00:53:36 get to use for your own career. And I think that's, I mean, I also, because I talk to Steve Bern about that and I think that's like, I finally like a resource for comedians that's great, you know what I mean? I think that's what I'm saying though, like with this project, like I am, it is such my baby and it is such my, because even I had talked to other people about being like, about other companies being like,

Starting point is 00:53:58 why don't you put it on our YouTube channel, we put it on a specials out and then that way you'll get a lot of, a bunch of it, like multiple, multiple times. You don't name names, do you? I don't name names, all right. I'll tell you off there. We put a ton of specials out and then that way you get a lot of audio a bunch of it like multiple multiple names Do you I don't name names alright? I'll tell you off there But I don't you name names because I'm not going with them You know I'm

Starting point is 00:54:16 Cuz I'm not fucking go because I'm not driving traffic to somebody else's channel on their YouTube thing to build up their thing Right, I want this project specifically has been a labor of love, it's been the thing I've been working on for over a year. I do both. I want it on my channel. You should do both. And I want to drive people to my channel, and I want people to see it.

Starting point is 00:54:36 And I'd much rather have people watch this special and go, fuck, why was that so quick? Why isn't this an hour? Why isn't it longer than me put out an hour, and then people be like, oh, I'm gonna get to the other half. Because when you click on a video, do it especially on YouTube.

Starting point is 00:54:50 If you click on a video and it says an hour, you're like, all right, I gotta fucking commit to this. Unless, unless you're old. And then like me, my good, I get my money's worth. Yeah, I get it. When I see a minute, I'm like fucking. Yeah, but if you see 20, you're like, even if you're busy, like, all right, I get my money's worth. Yeah, I get it. When I see a minute, I'm like, fucking, yeah, but if you see 20, you're like, even if you're busy, like, all right, I'll start it.

Starting point is 00:55:08 And then Elvis and it's over. Yeah, I hear you, but- And now I still have the other 40 minutes from that hour. You know what it is? It's hard for me because I'm between two errors. I know, you're a different error. I'm between two errors. Well, I'm actually part of this new one too,

Starting point is 00:55:24 because I'm still hearing. Yes, of course, but I'm saying, like, I was started'm actually part of this new one too, because I'm still hearing. Yes, of course, but I'm saying, like, I was started in the, I need to get on, I need to get on TV, and then that way I could get famous, and then that way I could do stand up. And now, and you know what I mean, I need to get on the tonight show, you know, and all that kind of stuff.

Starting point is 00:55:37 Like, those are things that I tried to, that was like the whole goal, do an hour special. But it's like, that was, it was an hour special, it's hard, it's hard for me, I don't know, maybe it's hard for you too, to let go of that thing. Of course, that's all you knew, that's what we chased for, you chased for 30 years, you've been chasing. That's what I think.

Starting point is 00:55:54 This is the new thing. But here's the thing, here's the way I look at it. If I put out an hour, it's gonna take me at least two years to come up with another strong hour before I'm willing to like record that, I'm not, as prolific as Louis to be able to be putting out an hour every single year. So it's like, it's gonna take me a while. And then also I have no jokes to put out in between that time besides like crowd work clips, which is the bane of everybody's existence, but it's something.

Starting point is 00:56:17 So it's like, I like the idea of me putting this out. This is 20 minutes, people can watch it, they like it. And then next year, I could put out another 20 minutes or six months from now. I could put out another, I can keep putting out, I'm stretching out that hour over three, I'm putting out three specials instead of one, essentially. Look, man, here's my, my thing that I'm, I'm coming to grips with it. If you, if it, if it works for you, do it. If it's working for you, I'm done. We'll see if it works. Please go watch the special. And then it'll work for me.

Starting point is 00:56:46 People are on me like, dude, look what he's doing. And it's like, dude, I don't know anymore. It's not the way it was. It used to be you went to New York, you got in in a club. Sure. Managers saw you, then they got you an agent,

Starting point is 00:57:01 you went to JFL. Still don't have any. You got an hour. You did it, you know, all that shit. It's like guys are making it on their own. Yeah, you know, Nick Mullin makes fucking 800,000 dollars a year. Just being Nick. For sure more than that. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:57:18 Yeah. He said 800. Oh, it's on a podcast. It's humble. I just, I feel like. I don't know he makes more. I mean, he used to make so much money with that. I know, but how do you know what,

Starting point is 00:57:28 he said I make $800,000 a year and you're saying, I know it's more than that. Yeah, I'm a tax guy. Oh, I don't know that. If you did that with an English accent, it wouldn't bother me. I'm a tax man. No, just, yeah, I'm gonna say $800,000.

Starting point is 00:57:39 He makes, he makes, he makes $800,000 a year. He makes, precipitously more than that. You're gonna start talking with an English accent. I know. I know it's a good English accent, but it worked,000 dollars. He makes precipitously more than that. You've got to start talking with any of your shacks. I know it's a good English accent, but it works. It doesn't matter. You got a cut. You know what I mean? But that's the thing, or I'm like, I just rather,

Starting point is 00:57:56 I like this, I wanted to also say I directed and edited my own special. There's the only people I've ever comedians I've ever known to do that. It's like Louis obviously is the most obvious example, but like, Bo Burnham. Yeah, dude, can't think of anybody else. comedians I've ever known to do that. It's like Louis obviously is the most obvious example, but like bow burn them. Yeah, dude, it can't think of anybody else. You guys, you did it on a very high level. Yeah. And now you're doing it on a very low level.

Starting point is 00:58:10 Oh, it feels like an unnecessary shot, but all right. Hang on one second. You do it, they did it on a very oil level, and you do it on a different level. That doesn't hurt nearly as bad. Thank you so much. It's a compliment almost now. You do it on the level of mud.

Starting point is 00:58:23 Yeah. Yeah. I want, yeah, I want people to be able to, I want to be able to say that I like it was just a cool, I'll probably never edit my own special ever again, but at least say that I did this, you know, which is the funny part too, because like, you know, it's just kind of, we think when the standup special, you think when you put out a say, especially you're like, eh, if they don't like it, it's fucking, it's all my

Starting point is 00:58:43 fucking fault. But when you edit it and you direct it, if they and you come up with a gods eh, if they don't like it, it's fucking, it's all my fucking fault. But when you edit it and you direct it, if they, and you come up with a godship, if they don't like it, I have no one to blame, but it is all on me. So, so when does it come out again? With that. October 27th, it's probably already out. Yes.

Starting point is 00:58:59 Go check it out. Where is it at? YouTube.com, so I'm Mike Fienic, comedy. I assume the link is hopefully in the description. Everything's gonna be in the description. You just click on it. Share it. Share it. And this is how I took a bath on this. Did you really? Of course, I'm producing. I spent I paid all the money. I had to pay to get a color. I had to pay to a sound mixer. I'd every single expense. Boy, oh boy, it just adds up, especially

Starting point is 00:59:22 when you got a kid. So I don't need, you don't need to pay me any money. If you'd love to come see me on the road, that would be great. But, are you gonna charge? Are you gonna put a thing on the YouTube? Free, just, here's what I'm charge. Here's what I, here's my currency. You giving it a like on YouTube, that's like tipping me a dollar. You leaving a comment, that's like five bucks.

Starting point is 00:59:41 You sharing it with one friend, that's like 50 bucks. You sharing it in your group chat, that's like giving me a hundred dollars. So just do that for me. And just pay it forward, share it with as many people as you can. The more people see it, the more people wanna see the next one. And then I can just keep doing that.

Starting point is 00:59:58 And you should definitely put it on punchup.live. And that's something. For your road. There's people saying, oh, you get all these people showing up at your thing from YouTube. Own them, get your road. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. People are saying, oh, you get all these people showing up at your thing from YouTube. Yeah. Own them. Get the data. Get the email. I've got one of you. Yeah. I get the email. They want you to have their email. Yeah. You know what I mean? They're giving it to fucking best buy and they're selling it to China. You might as well have it. You can sell out and road island. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:00:20 We got a game for you to play. Oh, okay. If you don't mind sure max. Yeah, we have a quiz. We have a quiz a quiz Yes, all right, so the first question is what is your age 18 under 18 18 to 24 25 30 31 now. What do I look or do I play? What are you? You know, I'd be 18 24, but no, I'm 35 What is your gender? Are you kidding? Well, I mean, you do look funny. Unspecified. And I'm fine with that.

Starting point is 01:01:07 uh... israel is good question all come on now are you kidding relax relax just answer the question chill out you said the question was israel is good question mark yes no israel's great israel's evil with the options wait there's yes or no and then there's other shades of that. Yeah, and then it's greater evil. I Mean that's you answer the question. There is no way to answer that as

Starting point is 01:01:31 Correction again, do in the English accent is real good Yes, no Israel is great. Israel is evil which one the people the people of Israel. Yes, are great. I think are good Palestine is good question mark. Yes, to know. The people of Palestine, the people of Palestine are good. Okay, there you go. Hamas is not. Should Arabs leave the Holy Land?

Starting point is 01:01:55 Yes or no? I don't know the answer to this. I'm Irish and from Long Island. Just answer the question. I've told you, should they leave the holy land on now who the arab's is that the palestinians maybe i think i think i think ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha that if you really deconstruct what's going on over there, you'll find that there's a lot of nuance.

Starting point is 01:02:27 And there's passion on both sides, and with passion, of course, there's going to come conflict. And I believe that in a world in which we all get together and talk about it. And children are the future. Yeah, and children are the future. We should save the whales, save the planet.

Starting point is 01:02:44 Please them well, and let them lead the way. Yeah, whatever leads are the future. We should save the whales, save the planet. Please save them well and let them lead the way. Yeah, whatever leads to the least amount of murder is possible. Because what I'm seeing now, by the way, just on a side note, Musk, whatever that guy's doing on Twitter where he basically has a GoPro strap to every soldier, both Israeli and Palestinian, it's like, I open Twitter in the morning and I'm just immediately an onslaught of like beheadings and dead bodies, and it's like, I don't even follow the accounts

Starting point is 01:03:09 that they're showing it to me, but they're like, you're gonna see this. Yeah, it's pretty wonderful. It's brutal. It's wild. What's the next question? Well, I'm gonna say that he said, no, they shouldn't leave. Oh, the next one is should Jews leave the Holy Land?

Starting point is 01:03:20 No! Okay, there you go. I don't know. Israel is the aggressor? Yes or no? I think Hamas was the aggressor this time. Okay, great. I think that's really a great Palestinian.

Starting point is 01:03:32 Palestinian's are the aggressors? Yes. No Hamas is the aggressor, which I guess technically represent Palestine, but the Palestinian people don't seem to be. I will say yes. I like to relax and nothing bothers me much. True or false false. Everything bothers me. This quiz is annoying.

Starting point is 01:03:51 This is top of the list. Is yours a safe country to visit? Yes, true or false? I overall true. Yeah. Right now I probably wouldn't book a point. But uh, you can't even get in now. That's how much I know about what's going on. You can't. I thought wouldn't book a point, but oh, you can't even get in. Now, that's how much I know about what's going on.

Starting point is 01:04:08 I thought it'd be a good time. Like we know when you can go to during COVID, if you bought tickets to China, you could go, it was like $400 to fly their first class, stay for three weeks, they show you everything, it was like, what a hell of a deal, yeah. Yeah, so you have fly, it's your own. It's a war zone.

Starting point is 01:04:24 You have to fly in a C-130 Yeah, I just came in the missile homosomist. Yeah, there's people just gunning from the chopper. Yeah, well Please put your train tables back to the upright position I just have I have a lot of I know a lot of Israeli people personally, you know, so it's like that's I see there I see there my my cousin both of my cousins are married to people from Israel and stuff I mean obviously it's like you know it's like everybody so many comics that we know with or Jewish and stuff like that Yeah, all right. Good next question. Children should be taught to hate and destroy their enemies. No Okay, go ahead

Starting point is 01:05:01 Children should be taught to love and forgive enemies. Sure Okay, go ahead. Uh, children should be taught to love and forgive enemies. Sure. Pussy. Go. It's not American. Israel is... We're friends with Japan.

Starting point is 01:05:12 In Germany. Yeah, we fucking bombed them. And now we forgave them. No, they forgave us. They forgave us. They forgave us. They forgave us. We dropped two nukes on Japan.

Starting point is 01:05:22 There's a documentary every day about Japan. I was like, they didn't need to drop the bomb on us. We were just about to give up and you're like, they weren't. You see that story about that guy who was in the Philippines in the jungle and they got him, they had to go get his retired, like, captain or lieutenant or corporal or something.

Starting point is 01:05:37 That guy was like working an accounting job and they got him and brought him to the jungles of Malaysia because he didn't believe that the war was over. It was 1975 and they got the, this guy to the jungles of Malaysia because he didn't believe that the war was over. It was 1975 and they got the, this guy who'd been fighting in the jungle since World War II and he had no idea. That guy?

Starting point is 01:05:52 That guy right there. In Japan. Yeah, no idea it was over. No, he didn't. They tried to tell him years and years and years and years. And this happened, there's multiple stories of this all throughout the 50s and stuff, but this guy was into the 70s.

Starting point is 01:06:03 He killed 30 people in Malaysia, like as like anybody that tried to go, they showed him newspapers, they showed him everything. He thought he was like, it is propaganda because the sentiment at the time in Japan was like, there is no such thing as surrender. You die or any was like, so he was his whole rationale was like, if you're telling me that Japan lost this war, then there is no more Japan. Because that's the only way we would lose this war.

Starting point is 01:06:28 Is if we were every single one of us were killed. So you being here tells me it's not over. And if this is a trap and then he just kept killing people. And you're like, that's a level of fucking patriotism and nationalism that's like indoctrinated into a core set of beliefs. So, okay. So yeah, you think kids should never forgive. Go ahead.

Starting point is 01:06:46 Nice. Israel is forever. Yes or no? What does that mean? Yes or no? Well, it always exists. Well, it always exists. Yeah, Israel is forever.

Starting point is 01:06:55 I don't know, man. I don't know the answer to that. I so is it. Does anything ever exist forever, though? Watching a comedy uncomfortable with real life questions. Yeah, we know this isn't our thing. I don't read. What's the next question?

Starting point is 01:07:10 Palestine will win in the end. I mean, probably not to be honest. I mean, they are drastically outnumbered and getting killed in a crazy clip. OK, go ahead. Next one. I like the USA. Yes, no, it's OK.

Starting point is 01:07:24 Yes. I like Britain. Yes, no, it's okay. Yes. I like Britain. Yes, no, it's okay. They're fun. It's okay. You don't like, it's all right in the net. It's a bit,

Starting point is 01:07:34 it's a bit, everyone in the world should be Muslim. No. God, no. No. That's the clip. It's a sad part. You were to hear God, no. That's the clip. That's the set-fire. You were to hear God no.

Starting point is 01:07:48 That's the Irish and you came out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fucking no. Yeah, I got it. All right. I support freedom of speech. Yes. Oh, women are equal to men.

Starting point is 01:07:58 Yes. Wait a minute. Not in terms of physical strength or like, you know, cognitive ability, but voting wise, absolutely. We're equals now. Yeah, I mean, they can't pick up five bags of gross if you want to finger. Well, they can use my card to buy them.

Starting point is 01:08:14 You know, I am heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual. No, stop before you answer that. Ask that again. I am heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. I know the one that would be good for my career to say. Either of the other ones is not, unfortunately, heterosexual, and I'm so sorry. My favorite animal out of the following

Starting point is 01:08:34 is cat dog, tiger, lion, camel, donkey. Wait, say it again, and not, I thought you said things together, like hyphenated. I thought you said talking about cat dog the cartoon What'd you say my favorite animal out of falling is a cat or dog or tiger lion or camel or donkey man? I love a lot of those things. I love a lion. I love I love a cat But I mean dog is the one I interact with on a daily basis and they're the most fun so I'm going with dog Okay, I'm a good person. Yes. No,'re the most fun. So I'm going with dog. OK, God. I am a good person.

Starting point is 01:09:05 Yes, no, no one is good. We are all good and bad. Ooh, that's pretty cool. I think people are inherently good, and then nature, nature, all corrupts. Every single time I see people now who are broken people, or mean people, and stuff like that, don't you kind of feel like,

Starting point is 01:09:25 maybe this is the thing of getting older and that's why I'm asking you this. Do you ever feel like you're just like, do you ever feel like you see, no, I'm saying, yeah, as a person, significantly older, do you ever find that when you see people who are just like, pieces of shit or just like assholes,

Starting point is 01:09:37 I went from being like, fuck that guy when I was younger to being like, oh man, I feel bad for that guy. You know what I mean? It's like a, it's like, not a pity, but there's a thing of like, oh man, so many people for that guy. It's like, it's like, not a pity, but there's a thing of like, oh man, so many people hurt you and you've gone so far. Like if you just had more love in your life when you were younger,

Starting point is 01:09:53 it all would have been so different for you. Oh yeah, people like that now is kind of sad. It definitely gets sad. It's sad. Well, because you know your time, and once you have a kid in a wife and you have a life time and who you spent and how you act in that time and How you spend that time mean so much more because time has a value. Yeah, those people

Starting point is 01:10:12 They have no clue and there's no way out. No, except a vicious bottom. Yeah, you know name This is bottom. That's used to be my nickname Are you sure you had a sexual? Yeah, I know. But you know, Vicious bottom you just wrote it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, Vicious.

Starting point is 01:10:30 Yeah, so down. I can't. Yeah, I'm too vicious. I'm the vicious bottom. I do think great and gay porn. I don't know if I would. I feel like I'd be good in like, Milf porn.

Starting point is 01:10:40 No, you'd be good. The way there were like a stepson. We get your roller skates and a headband. Yeah, okay. You come up and that's your name. Vicious. I'm too b good. I'm like, there were like a step-sun. We get your roller skates in a headband. Yeah. You come up and that's your name. Vicious. I'm too boney, I feel like. Ah, not on TV.

Starting point is 01:10:49 Okay. Not on a tape board. Not on a tape board. Yeah. I was, what else you got? Hold on, I have more things. Oh, you have more theories. I'm good.

Starting point is 01:10:57 I was thinking about this, which probably is, is, is probably wrong. But I, going off the thing of like, pittying people as they're just get so warped or whatever. What about this idea? What about the idea that like hardcore conspiracy theorists like let's take the people who like don't believe Sandy hook Didn't like they they don't think it happened right? Yeah, the lunatics in our society that are like that was a stage thing Those are at crisis actors. None of that was real. What if instead of Believing what I believe you know know, normally, which is being

Starting point is 01:11:25 like these people are mentally ill and saying lunatics, being like, maybe those people are so incapable of processing the horrific trauma of what happened there, that it's literally easier for them to believe that that wasn't real, that didn't happen. No, no, no, that's crisis actors. I can't, there's no, no, no, that's crisis actors. I can't, there's no way people murdered children, that's not real. Then it is for them to accept the reality of something so horrific and evil happening in this world.

Starting point is 01:11:54 What do you think about that? We didn't land on the moon, the earth is flat. And you're a fucking weirdo. No. Maybe dude, I don't know. I mean, I can see if you watch, if you listen to those people, you can see their, their evidence, what they consider evidence, why you would, they would go down that route. Any conspiracy, I can follow down that tube.

Starting point is 01:12:22 Yeah. But then there's reality. Right. I think that reality. Yeah. But then there's reality. Right. I think that reality. But why follow the conspiracy? That's the thing. Well, because it does something for them. It gives them a purpose.

Starting point is 01:12:33 Co-p. Co-p. Yeah, maybe right. Yeah, maybe a co-p. But also, I think that these people think, once you believe one, you can believe them all. Right. Once you go to the...

Starting point is 01:12:44 That's the problem with conspiracy theorists. No one is ever like, I only believe the 9-11 one and that's it. But here's the thing is some of them, some of them are fishy. Some of them are real. Some of them could be, some of them have validity.

Starting point is 01:12:56 Sure. So it's like, you know what I mean? Hey, I never saw any evidence of any plane hitting the Pentagon, huh? Where are the wings? Yeah. Anyway, it is, look it, it's crazy. Because first of all, too, the amount of stuff we can do, the average asshole on a phone is nuts now, too.

Starting point is 01:17:53 Yeah. I'm ready to go. I got questions for you. Wait, what happened to this quiz? What was the quiz? What was the quiz over? There's a few more. I'm going to hurry up speed through it.

Starting point is 01:18:01 What? This was from what Max, he't understand like production. Oh, this quiz is 75 questions. It takes an hour. I will do this quick. I like women in army uniforms. Yeah.

I like to see their hair. I like to see some you so know on the hijab. I'm not against him, but I prefer to see a face. No, yeah, no. I like having fun on the beach. Yes. Do you like watching the news? No.

I believe in evolution and science I don't know man. I'm like agnostic. There's something. I don't know what it is Beheading is okay. Yes or no? No You support Hamas How how is that your questions your answers? How? How is that? Your question is your answers. But I said so many pro is real things.

Starting point is 01:19:06 And I actually specifically said I don't support Hamas. Yeah, but you're maybe in your brand you don't, but in your heart you do. But if I support them, go into the beach and have jobs, I think you just answered it how you wanted to answer it. Maybe Max doesn't have a new answer. I'm anti-Hamas. Maybe Max is a good producer.

Starting point is 01:19:25 Sorry, and I have us. All right, here we go. We got questions for you. Sure. Jeff Levine. What is your favorite scenario from here's the scenario? It's a good one. That's yeah, there was a, I always like when people give like sometimes people put real thought into them. And there's always like the one that's like, they cover every base, any sort of technicality, like you gotta do this, but you can't use this and you gotta do this and you can't use this. There was one time though, I remember the worst question which was very fun, which was at Skankfest last year.

Starting point is 01:19:56 Some guy got up, had the courage to come up, ask a question into the microphone, and I forgot the question was so dumb that it elicited a response from Sam Talent that goes, what is this? Your first day at question school and it was the funniest thing I've heard, so I like that. So that was what's your favorite one? I mean, you know, you can't remember one.

Starting point is 01:20:15 No, just all the like the really long specific ones where we have to come up with something creative. Okay, we got another question. Sam Grayson, any plans to start a new podcast now that it's over? I have some projects that I actually want to do that I'm like, I don't know about like, I mean, starting a whole new podcast might be a whole thing. So you've done podcasting? No, I mean, I like maybe in the future, but it's like I did snarky for like six or seven or almost a year. I think a year almost I did it, which was just my solo podcast of me just ranting for an hour and it was very fun, but it's just so much work and

Starting point is 01:20:50 it just was like, you know, it didn't, it didn't pay off in a way that justified continuing to do it, but I do have like an idea for a show that I want to do that's going to be more like, you know, an interview, a fun thing, but I think it would probably be better suited visually, but maybe they'll be the audio component to it as well.
