Starting point is 00:00:21 You're right. I hear what you say. Yeah, hey, love the channel. Can the guy stop ruining the songs? Birth is ever alive. Is this the song you play when you take? take your tub? Yeah, I get sass. I promise you
Starting point is 00:00:36 right now there's a bunch of people listening to this who are guys you wouldn't expect the way they look that were like, if they don't know it, they went, that's a pretty good song, though. Yeah, no, the absolutely great song. There's a lot of guys listening too thinking, what the fuck is happening right now? Is this the wrong channel? They kept switching the channel? They moved the channels? Is this yacht rock?
Starting point is 00:00:57 They should give me my own channel here. Big J. Radio. Oh, big gay Radio. No. It's Big J. Radio. And you're right. It's all of your favorite hits from,
Starting point is 00:01:08 who knows, it could be from the 60s all the way to right now. Only catch, I'm going to sing all of them over it with a live mic. With a hot mic. You can't help yourself, dude. He goes, dude, do you ever hear that heart song where she hits that song in a loan? You haven't heard it until you've heard
Starting point is 00:01:24 Jay sing poorly over it. God damn. Oh, God damn. The guy's trying to find the bear bear. and I accidentally found official daddy bears, which is a way different thing. Same guys, same guy. Same guy.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Same dude. That's Jay, if I've ever seen him. He's getting yoked and hairy. That's you, Jay, and like next year. I wish. Tidy Witties. You're going to start wearing tidy witties? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:01:50 I will start wearing some, some fucking suspenders with no pants. In their shirt. Suspenders in no shirt, for sure. You know why? Like I woke at a Home Depot calendar? We found out that it was, Dan Day. That's why Jacob's all whipped up.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Oh, yeah. I was like, why was Jacob laughing so hard today and smiling? You get to spend time with Dan. It's just a good day. Yeah, it's a good. I can't wait until it ends. I can't wait until Dan's too busy. He's so successful that he can't make it. I hope everything he does goes so that he has no time for Dan Day. I can't imagine that day happen. I mean, success, yes. Wow. I've talked to Dan about it. He says, look, he feels bad that he feels bad that he, but he left the crew. Yeah. So he goes,
Starting point is 00:02:34 he could stand hanging with him once a month for a couple hours. He throws a fucking cheap-ass steak down their throat at old Ted's Montana. They all get the same thing every time, by the way. Huh? They all get the same thing every time. Yeah, yeah, they're like, it's like a fucking red hat society over here. It's the fucking, you guys have tea time.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Can I say something? I'm not taking the dinner because it's too masculine what I want to do. We should all get them hats for Dande. You know what? You guys should all wear red hats for Dand Day. Now, if you need me, I'll be to Brazilian steakhouse listening to Barber Streisand. You guys have your gay steakhouse dinner.
Starting point is 00:03:06 It's not even a steakhouse. It's a hamburger place. You can have a good steak. A good steak? A good steak. A good steak. I haven't had one. I'm just saying, I guess I just said that. I assume you can have a good steak. We took you to Del Frisco. When was that?

Actually, I was giving Paco a little extra something for Christmas, and I called them up, I gave me like a heartfelt message. I was like, hey, man, I just want to thank you. You're doing great, and you really, what you work so hard. And I sent you a little something on memo, but I actually, I hit request.

Starting point is 00:05:04 That's not worth three grand to you guys. Pucko's only here to get stage time. Well, would he admit it? The Christmas show is worth it. I gave him $3,000 every three months, so it's like a $12,000 bonus a year I give. That's great. I only give him $2,500, like, every few months. Oh, that's, you're cheap.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Yeah, I want to bump it up. Cheap-ass. Yes, Black Lou? I'm going to bump it up. Do you guys remember the first year that you both gave us bonus? and Jay you sent like a dollar more just to be sure you gave more than Bobby first of all can I just can I just say something I jumped into the ship

Starting point is 00:13:23 I'll tell you what, the only thing I missed when I was in Costa Rica all week that I was thinking about was my getting into my bed with the Kiki-ko. Yeah, and being around white people know how to swim. That's true. You said there was two things you missed while you were gone. Being around mostly white people know how to swim and your Kikiko bucket. I put it on. Oh, hang on a second.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Dude. What's up, buddy? I put it on my bed and then I laid on top. of it. Naked? I had no shirt. It was just in my undies. Buddy, take your panties off. Try, I'm telling you right now. My mom wasn't in that house.

Starting point is 00:14:17 like a little baby sow? Like a little baby. You made the same noise when Dan shows up, fucking that stupid restaurant you go to. But a joyful one. Yeah. The others are misery. It's 3.15.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I wonder if he's not coming. He goes, sorry, I'm like guys. He goes, it's okay. Yay. I got our favorite table. Do you guys have a favorite table? We have gotten the same table. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Yeah, you know why? Because nobody's in there. DJ Ludo doesn't even want to go anymore. It's pure obligation. He feels bad for Dan at this point. Yeah. Black Lou and Jacob would be. run to that. They've run to that. Run to your white boy, Blacklou.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Go ahead, Blacklou, run to your white boy if that's what you want. We might be going to... Run back to your other white boy right when you're done. And then if you can come back to this white boy, I need you at 5 p.m. Wabbleby dabbley. It might be going to a different place next time. No. Why did you suggest something? Because we made fun of you. Who suggested was it?
Starting point is 00:15:20 It was mine. You know why it was yours? Because you hate it. It sucks. It sucks. It sucks. It sucks. It sucks. It's great.
Starting point is 00:15:28 You know, Dan can't smell. It's great. Look at me. Jacob. I loved going there. Jacob, Dan can't smell. He could eat dog shit. It's true. Hamburgers.
Starting point is 00:15:37 And he wouldn't even know. He doesn't taste his food. So you have to tell him what's good. Yeah. Now my guess is now you make him change it. I bet Dan's going to make it to something in the lobby of his building so he could spend as little time as possible. Guys, I saw you order. He goes, I'm actually not that hungry, but you guys enjoy.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I'm going to head back up to the place. I got to call. Hey, guys, I got to walk my dog. I'll be right back. I'll be right back. I'm happy staying. I love it. You should go there still in tribute,
Starting point is 00:16:02 Ted's Montana. Why don't you go there more? Maybe I will. Maybe you should. Maybe you should. It's affordable. I love that Dan is rich. And he takes you to an affordable lunch.
Starting point is 00:16:13 He takes you to a fucking low-rent Ponderosa. Ponderosa was already low rent. I picked it first. Why don't you pick like Del Frisco, something really nice? There you go. That's what I would do. That's what I would do. No, Black Lou, this is you.
Starting point is 00:16:24 This is on you.

Starting point is 00:17:00 Oh, sorry. I thought it was some things. I always thought it was old homestead and I had that wrong. Every time I went to old homestead, I go, the guy was shot right here and it was like, sparks. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it is. Maybe it's just the connection that makes the food taste so good. Now, why don't you? We just have such a good conversation.
Starting point is 00:17:16 I'm surprised you barely eat. It's funny. It's so weird. Dan never describes it that way to me. All the fucking eyes gazing you do. How do you even get the food? You know he calls it? I said, I asked him, I go, dude, can I talk to you about something this afternoon? He goes, sorry, I got kid duty.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Wow, wow, wow. Fucked up. Wow, you're a grown man. You have gray hair. Well, Christine, Christine, fucking fantastic. Everyone did it because I'm not going to get into this with only 15 minutes of Christine's comedy. Why? Because it's not enough.
Starting point is 00:17:49 No, we have more than that. No, we don't really. We have 20 minutes. We're not done with this Dan thing in Smith and Walenski. get a respectable place. Show them the menu. I get it. It's a nice, I'm sure the food's great.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Great. It's fantastic. You see the food's great at Ted's Montana's. For me, it's great. I love it. I love what I get. Is Ted's Montana a chain? Because I've never seen one anywhere else. I would say it's a upscale chain.
Starting point is 00:18:18 I think it has a few restaurants. What? You got to stop saying things like that, Jacob. Maybe upscale is a wrong word. What are you talking about? It's nuts. Well, compared to Burger King. Do you think Dan?
Starting point is 00:18:27 It might be above Applebee's. It's like cheesecake factory right under. I would rather go to Cheesecake Factory than Ted's Montana. And I hate the name, Ted's Montana? Ted, uh, from CNN. Fuck him, who's that? You go to a guy who was on CNN? Ted Turner.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Ted Turner is his place. And the signature is the Buffalo, Buffalo Burger. That's what it's all about. Yeah. Well, I'll say where they have a better burger. It's a big chain. It's an enormous chain of shitty, shitty stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:56 That's where they put an improv. oven. It's a bonefish grill with fucking burgers. Go back to the menu of a... Look at that. You think you're not worth a $72 flamignon from your boy? You've got to go somewhere where the price is, it says market price. That's where you know Dan cares about it.
Starting point is 00:19:14 That's where me and Bobby take you. Yeah. We take you, we make you earn it. You have to earn it first. We haven't gone out of dinner in a long time. Yeah. We can go out to dinner, but you can be sure as hell that we're not going to. going to take you to Ted's Montana.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Hell no. It's going to be like maybe the Brazilian Steakhouse. That's not. Plataforma. We've done Platiforma before is great. Do Platiformia. You want to do platyforma? We'll take you to Plattoformer if you stop going to Ted's Montana. Not that you have to stop your date, but you have to go somewhere different. Well, you are going somewhere different because Black Lou made it
Starting point is 00:19:47 a thing already. He said he can't do it anymore. No, he can't do this bullshit ass place. He said, he said, Dan can pick. We want you guys to pick. Tell Dan, he cannot. pick. Yeah, you guys will do the pick. It's about you.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Yeah. It's not about him. It's best spending time with you guys. Mr. Chow's. You should go to get attorneys and Mr. Chowell's. Yeah, that's good.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Yeah, that's overpriced for no reason. That's not for me. Huh? Why not? I don't think I would enjoy the menu as much. I guarantee Dan picks the seller. I hope he picks the comedy seller.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Hey, the Olive Tree Cafe. I'll meet you at the Olive Tree. But can you do it after the show because you have a spot. Yeah. And then he also gets 50% off then also if he does a spot.
Starting point is 00:20:24 You could probably host and get all your food for free if you wanted to Dan, this is a place This is where you take people you give a shit about That's right Look at that, look at that steak Yeah, that's a once in a year thing What? Once in every three years would be enjoying
Starting point is 00:20:40 Smith-Melensky, what are he talking about? It's a goddamn fucking businessman's lunch That's a weekday for you Absolutely, absolutely, I do This is what you take? I've never gone on the weekends to a steakhouse ever It's always a weekday there is a place you take friends.
Starting point is 00:20:56 This is a place where you sit down. You're going to catch up, you're going to laugh. Yeah, you're going to have, but you're also going to have unbelievable service. You're not going to have somebody with a stupid apron with flare on it. We laugh. Do they have flare on their aprons, little buttons?
Starting point is 00:21:09 No. They don't have a little buffalo somewhere? It's kind of rugged looking. He performs. It's a cowboy lifestyle in there. He performs for you guys and you laugh. He gives you your little taste. And then he takes it away from you.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Yeah. Like he took it away from you. We laugh. Yeah. You laugh and then you don't. They wear ties. It's a cowboy. What is it?
Starting point is 00:21:30 Oh, that plays steaks. The CPK uniform. Yamanika works there? This is why Christine only has been invited once because she has nothing but bad stuff to say. She won't eat it at a shitty place twice. Yeah. She learns her lesson. That's why you've only seen her with one black guy since we worked here.
Starting point is 00:21:48 You were the black guy here when you worked here. Once. Can you show me the waitstaff at the other place? Smith and Molinski's. Yeah, I bet they're all white. I bet what? Absolutely. These guys know what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Oh, Jesus Christ. I was like, I'm getting in trouble for saying my word. No, these high-end places always put their fucking waiters in all-white for some reason. Yeah, because they don't spill shit. They're white waiters in white uniforms. They're not. Oh, white guys. Go on.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Ooh, I can't believe Christine got us. We have time. She flim flammed. No, you really want to go in on this. Okay, you're right. You have time. You're right. I want to think of things we've done the past.
Starting point is 00:22:29 I'm mistaken. I'm mistaken. I'm thinking of things we've done with a three-minute clip in our lives. Where how long is it? Six minutes or so? Jay. I feel foolish, I said that. Yeah, but you want us to fucking jam in it?
Starting point is 00:22:38 No, I don't. There's no way. I know, I know. I've never seen it. I haven't seen it in, I haven't seen it in... Nine? I haven't seen this one. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:22:47 You've never seen this. This is a brand new clip for everyone? Yeah, you've never seen this. Oh, God. because you saw the one I had on DVD, which is The Bringer Show. It was two. Oh, then you did see this.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I only have two. What's the other one that we've never seen? It's on a DVD, but I think I can get it. I can apply it. I have a DVD thing. It's sort of a Bringer show at Broadway in 2009. Oh, please bring her. Are you hosting?
Starting point is 00:23:07 No, I brought people and I was doing my time. It's going to be fun because it's going to be fun because she's going to be nervous. You're going to see all the ticks and nerves. I will say, from what I recall, it was no worse than anybody girl particularly starting comedy that young into that was like her what was it what is this said is like your fifth of 10
Starting point is 00:23:28 this is probably like my somewhere between five and tenth time on stage how many times you get on stage before you said hey producing might be better for me I think somewhere between 20 and 30 because I'm trying to figure out like the amount of time
Starting point is 00:23:47 that I did it and I was trying to go like two nights a week so I think it ended up around there, but it was when I got the job at comics, when I got hired at Comics Comedy Club, I kind of made a decision. Did they make it for you? No, no, no. I mean, I don't think they wanted comics working there. No clubs really do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:03 But I didn't want to, like, be a comic that was also working behind the scenes. Like, I was like, I need to cut this. Good choice. I thought being a comic would be a really lonely life. And I would, you know, it's, I knew how hard it was. Like I already had already worked in comedy for three years. I knew how hard your lives were. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:25 And it seemed like a lot to go through. Did you have any sets where you killed it? Were you like, this is, you felt the feeling that me and Jay feel every weekend? I don't know about killing the doing. I had a bomb. He was just shaking his head, no. I had a bomb at Tien's, the Turkish restaurant that like was, I was like, I don't know if I could ever do this again. We just grabbed the mic and start fucking working the room.
Starting point is 00:24:46 No, there's a Turkish restaurant. You hate the Turks. Open mic. I know, but there was an open mic at the bottom of the. this restaurant in Hill's Kitchen, Tangines. And, oh, man, I just bombed for like 10 minutes straight with a bunch of dudes just staring at me. It was so awful.
Starting point is 00:24:58 You don't have that on tape? No. Because I thought I'd only done, like, five minutes. And they said it was 10 minutes instead of just getting off stage. I tried to fill the time. I can get you tape of 10 dudes staring at it if you want. But this was also, this was like the first show I ever produced in the city. And, you know, my friends were really supportive.
Starting point is 00:25:15 The first time I did it, I did well, and that was fun. What about the other one? Are they supportive on the other one, too? Yeah, they're both, these are both like, so it was like bringer shows. Yeah, yeah. This was a, yeah, this show I produced with my friends. I had the guy at Catcher Rising Star.
Starting point is 00:25:27 It was in Harvard Square. It's like where cross comedy was and Mark Marin and all those guys. And you had to put your name on the wall. You just wrote your name on it. And then six months later, you got a spot. My first set ever, and it was a bringer show. And I brought my whole family. Like 15 people showed up.
Starting point is 00:25:45 My grandfather, my grandmother. And the guy came up to me before the show. goes, hey, make sure your family doesn't laugh too loud at you. I don't want to mess with the other comics. And I didn't know what to do. So I just went up to my family. I was like, hey, guys. Don't laugh.
Starting point is 00:26:00 You know, don't be that supportive of me. Like, I didn't have even say it. I was like, you know, the guy asked me so you're not like, don't overdo it. Don't overdo it for me. It was like, fuck. And then the guy brought me up and I did my stupid jokes that were terrible. And then after you went, Robert Kelly, people are so different from me. My first thing's dating.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Like dating is weird. Whose phone's going nuts? Mine, not mine. It was totally yours? It was not mine. It's mine. I'm sorry. I don't like...
Starting point is 00:26:30 Here it is. I'm waiting for it. What? You have a lot about this before. No. Is that you're waiting for? No, I'm waiting for you. I'm sorry for this time.
Starting point is 00:26:39 No, no. Look at me. No, I want a real one. Come on, Jay. You got it in you. Look at me. I'm getting it together. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Allow me to gather myself. Sorry, I blamed you. I sorry I didn't believe you. Thank you. When you said it wasn't you. Thank you. Because you've been known to lie. No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:27:05 No, that was the Jacob. No, no. No, I said anything to you. I want a solid apology with nothing at the end, period. I want a period at the end. I? Yes. I'm sorry that I didn't believe you
Starting point is 00:27:17 when you said it wasn't your phone. Thank you. You did touch your phone. No, no. You touched your phone afterwards, though. I touched my phone because you're, you immediately look at me with your big eyes. Bobby, your disapproval, your disapproval. Your disapproval.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Yeah. And I don't sip on water all the time. It's Christine sometimes, too. Remember that guy? It's for sure me sometimes. It's 100% a lot of the times. You guys are both pieces of shit. I got castrated by Jeff.
Starting point is 00:27:49 What was his name? John? Forget his name, but he did not enjoy your drug. Oh, my God. It's not even mine. Look at the staff over at Smith and Wilinski. Wow. Now that's class.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Yeah, they have vest. They have double-breasted vests, red ties. Thin fat don't matter. Vest. They look fantastic. Now, that's a waitstaff. And there's another thing, too, you'll see a lot in the weight staff. And this is a big deal in a steakhouse.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Old. They're older because they've been there for fucking 35 years. And because they get paid good money. They get paid good money because they're professionals. Not like at TEDs in Montana. This would stress me out. Why? It's just too much for a lunch.
Starting point is 00:28:27 They have lunch? Black Lou, is it too much for you? Black, Lou is it too much for you? Black, Lou is sitting in a nice place, too much for lunch? You're going to be in and out the same way you'll be in and out at Ted Montana's. It's not too much for me. You know, for me in these establishments, I'd have to say, though, I don't see a black face in that photo. Right, so you know the service is going to be a little nervous.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Oh, I thought you're going to be a little nervous. I'm sorry, I thought we were going different directions. We were going different directions. We were going different directions. I didn't know. Just a quick body. I'm supposed to know where he was going. That's all right.
Starting point is 00:28:58 It's all right. It's all right. But the service isn't going to be better. I just want to be treated well. There's a couple of Chinese Pacos, my friend Gil. Yeah, you got a couple of Mies. Mexicans. You got a couple of Bobby's in the background.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Yeah, everyone's, for the most part, bald. Yeah, you got like three Mies. I'd tell you, that's what I'm. I do like about when I go What's that place I live in LA? Dan Tanas. I love that place. That fucking Italian place.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Like the people, the waiters are always like it's a fucking 55 year old guy. Oh, I would have had such a great time if Josh wasn't with us. This is our thing. We do it.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Can I have some of yours? Give me a little yours. Now, have a little bit of mine. I don't want what you got. But you have it so it can make me have a bunch of y'all. It was fucking crazy.

Starting point is 00:29:58 Are you going to eat most of your salad? He was staring at my meal the whole time, waiting for me to offer many, and I was like, I'm not giving them any. Oh, do me a favor. Leave me most of your burger. Just leave me a little most of your burger. 51%. 49, poor brother. That place was awesome.
Starting point is 00:30:17 The one guy on the staff, the guy who's squowing down, looks like, there I say, a fucking polite hire for a fucking special needs kid. That kid came over to my table smiling that much, too. I don't want what he's bringing. Give me somebody else. I don't like his stance. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:33 No, he's tough. He looks like a bug influencer. I'll tell you who I want. I want that fucking ginso between the Asian guy and the guy in the chokehold. Yes. I want that Paco dude, too, because you know he's fast. Paco dude's fat, but he's too. He's like bowing all the time and shit.
