This is Live from the Table, the official podcast of the world-famous comedy seller
coming at you on SiriusXM 99.
Rod Dogg!
And wherever podcasts are available.
This is Dan Natterman.
I'm here with Noam Dorman, the owner, the proprietor of the comedy seller,
the comedy seller empire, really, at this point.
We're here with Perrielle Ashenbrand, who is a producer,
and she does also on-air stuff.
And we are blessed to have Mr. Kyle Dunnigan.
Hello.
Comedian.
Yes, yes, yes.
Instagram star.
Instagram star.
Instagram star.
And future New Yorker, I think.
You were in L.A. for many, many years.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Is that William Buckley?
No, that's Jeff Goldblum. I'll? Yes. No, that's Jeff Goldblum.
I'll be doing characters.
That is not Jeff Goldblum.
That's Jeff Goldblum.
I am selling my house in Los Angeles
if anyone wants to buy it.
And I've been looking in the area
because I really like this area,
but it's the most expensive area.
Greenwich Village?
Yeah.
It's quite expensive.
But it feels safer and there's great walking,
and then the cellar's right here, and I'd love to live here.
So why are you making the move from Los Angeles,
the land of dreams, the tip of town?
Well, that's a good point.
You go there to make it in Hollywood, right?
But then I got there, and Hollywood said, no thanks.
No, I did actually get by year to year, and I was fine.
But then the internet is mainly what I do,
and so I'm like, I don't really need to be here.
Even auditions now, they're on tape.
And my family's here.
Dan's here.
That's me.
Dan Natterman's in the...
Yeah.
Noam's here.
So I thought I would...
I don't know what I'm doing.
Honestly, I might go back.
If my house doesn't sell,
I'll just go back and live there.
This isn't a good story, sorry.
No, I think it's a bad story.
We can cut it out.
Just start over.
I'll start.
I think it's a fine story.
People want to know,
like, the show business has changed.
It's been upended.
Hollywood is no longer the focus.
Yeah, you don't need to be there.
You can do things anywhere.
You can be on the internet
and Kyle's main, if you don't know Kyle's work,
he does a lot of sketches, a lot of impressions.
I'd like to get out of this business, though, that I started.
What business?
Well, I'm doing everything myself.
I was just this weekend at my mom's house,
and I got a wig on, and I'm asking my mom for a skirt.
And then I got to go to CVS to get some hair dye.
I'm doing like wardrobe and hair and makeup and lighting.
For your sketch.
Editing.
And I'd like to do what normal people do.
And they get a show.
And then they have help.
That's what I'd like to do.
What program do you use for editing?
Premiere.
Premiere.
Yeah.
I mean, I think mostly what I do is editing.
I would say if you logged my
hours in my life you'd see an editor you know yeah rarely do i actually perform or do something
you know i was editing our scott adams podcast yesterday and my computer had a major computer
crash i was so upset that's the thing that got me during the pandemic it was like my only hope was like to make stuff
made me sane to like make content because i literally had no one i didn't see anybody you
know i wasn't living there and i got this computer it was like three weeks away because the pandemic
was all delayed you know and it got there and it looked like someone threw it down the rocky steps
it was just just like a bat was taken to it.
I had a nervous breakdown because I knew it was going to be another month
before I could start using a computer again
and make stuff.
Speaking of content, I have a question for Noam.
Noam, what is the procedure?
Now, the Comedy Cellar Instagram
account
is pretty good too. It's got about
200,000 followers, I think.
Yeah.
And they post clips of comedians, of course, from time to time.
My last clip, I think it's up to 100,000 views.
I'm not sure that's necessarily high for the comedy.
But anyway, the question is...
Pat Bircher had 9 million.
What?
Did she really?
He did, yeah.
Oh, he did?
Wow.
I don't know Mr. Bircher.
9 million, wow. What is the criteria nine million by well you don't know that in advance what's the criteria by which you pick clips to
post why did uh what i'm seeing when i look at the comedy stars you you seem to want to include
everybody i'm not seeing favorites necessarily happens I don't, but that's what happens, yeah. I'm saying everybody kind of getting an equal shot.
What is the criteria
for posting the clips of the...
I'm not really sure. Somehow,
if you have a
moment where you
think this was great, I'd like to make
a clip out of it and post it,
just email Liz
and CC me. Say, you know,
September 11th, whatever show was the bit.
And we have a full-time guy making clips now.
We'll turn it into a clip.
Okay.
I didn't know that that was a possibility.
Yeah.
I thought that...
Because, you know, like, Liz...
Well, the problem is that you only ask me questions on the air.
So we don't get to discuss...
Well, I think it's because I think...
The question...
I think it's an interesting thing,
you know,
as to what criteria you use
because I say to myself,
Jesus, I got some killer shit.
Yeah, I would appreciate that actually
because some of the clips are,
some of them are not that good.
Well, yeah,
it takes a comedian
to kind of like pick them sometimes,
especially you care more
probably about your clip that goes out
than the person editing.
But one thing I have- He does a good job, though.
Yeah, they look good to me, but
if you have, you probably know like the best
clip. But I also, I know what I
think is the best joke, but
I've learned the hard way
that going viral has
really not necessarily
a direct correspondence
to the best joke. If you talk about
a specific issue,
talk about Trump maybe,
and then everybody gets on board
because it's controversial what you're saying about Trump
and everybody, the people are arguing,
and that can generate virality
more than a well-structured joke.
You know, Noam, are you in accord with that?
I have to be, otherwise it'd be like saying your jokes aren't good.
Well, you can say no.
That's topical, definitely.
I'm sufficiently confident that my jokes are good that you can give your honest opinion.
I think that a lot of reality has to do with, we talk about this, where, I mean, a really killer joke can go viral,
but usually people like to send jokes
that somehow communicate a message to their friend.
That's right.
It could be about women,
it could be about politics, whatever it is,
but something that's like, listen to this.
But the joke that Pat Berger did
that had nine million hits, first of all, it was a little bit longer bit, but it was just a really clever thing about the economy.
And when I saw it, I'm like, that's really good.
And I started sending it to people.
Before I even knew it was going to go viral, I actually sent it to friends before we even posted it.
So there is clearly something there
about that clip
and I reacted the way America did.
So I'm not sure what it was.
And I'm sure there's only one reason.
It's a share with friends
is a good indicator.
If you feel like sending this to somebody,
that's the biggest.
But what types of things do you find
the urge to share with
friends um i don't share anything i have no i have no friends let's just start with that um
if you have yeah i guess i mean i really i share a lot of like like um fat people falling down
but i don't think i'm normal i was was sharing your Andrew Cuomo stuff for a while.
Andrew Cuomo.
My penis.
I will.
Apropos of Andrew Cuomo,
you know, when I went to law school with his brother Chris,
and he talked like that at the time.
He did talk like this.
Not quite as extreme.
Did he show charts?
No, he did not.
But he talked like this.
Why?
He always asks himself the question.
Why do we do this?
Quick story.
My grandfather...
Don't stop.
I don't know.
But Chris obviously made an effort to lose...
Circus for adults.
He had a trick.
No, go ahead.
Saying Chris made an effort clearly to talk
with that, you know, accentless voice.
The rain in Spain.
But I remember that he had... It wasn't quite as extreme as we thought.
So you're calling him a fraud, then?
No, I'm saying he...
He went to the Maya Angelou School
of changing the way you grew up speaking?
Well, you know, people change their names.
People change...
There was a viral clip of her recently
speaking the way she spoke as a young person.
No, she was really rude to a young black girl.
Oh, isn't that the one that called her Maya
yes
she called her Maya and she goes
Miss Angelou
I'm Miss Angelou
and really gave her a brow
yeah kept coming at her
but I read
all the shit
online was defending Maya
this girl should know better
most of it was defending Maya. This girl should know better.
Most of it was defending Maya.
Some of it was like, hey, she's a little girl.
She made a mistake.
Just say, I prefer to be called Miss Angela.
One of my favorite moments on this,
right when she died,
and I didn't really know much about her,
I started reading her poetry.
I'm like, I don't, you know,
I'm not a poet guy.
No.
So I looked up some websites of her greatest things.
So I decided to read them to whoever was on the show that day. I think Dan was there.
And I read one.
Then I read another one.
And I'm like, oh, that's good.
I'm like, that's Robert Frost.
That's a fun game. Maya Angelou
or Dan Natterman. Who wrote those?
But it was so funny that the one
thing that they said, that's good. It wasn't fair. I had chosen something or Dan Natterman. Who wrote this? But it was so funny that the one thing
that they said,
that's good.
It wasn't fair.
I had chosen something
from Robert Frost
that actually I thought,
well, this is actually good.
And everybody reacted
and it was like
a perfect laboratory experiment.
She's hype.
She was hype.
Well, maybe.
Listen,
it's not that I'm afraid
to say she's hype.
I don't understand poetry.
Didn't speak to you.
Her poetry doesn't speak to you. Well, most poetry doesn't speak poetry. Didn't speak to you. Her poetry doesn't speak to you.
Well, most poetry...
I'm not her target.
Doesn't speak to me.
When I hear, like, oh, Captain...
Not one mention of the Holocaust.
Oh.
Like, oh, Captain, my Captain.
I'm just thinking back.
Most of the poetry I know comes from Dead Poets Society.
But, you know, that poem hits you like a fucking baseball bat.
Isn't hers just like, the leaf fell from the tree,
tree, tree, fly.
It's more along those lines, I think.
If you can keep your head,
when all those around you are losing theirs
and blaming you,
then you'll be a man, my son.
Something like that.
Was that Maya?
Rudyard Kipling.
If you can keep your head.
That's a great one.
Nicole, are you able to get that Maya clip?
I can definitely try and find it.
We thought you were already on the show.
Yeah, I'm scrolling through the Instagram.
No, just Google it.
Just Maya berating young girl.
Oh, sorry.
I thought you were talking about your podcast clip.
No, no, no.
You'll never find that.
What about I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings?
I know why the caged bird.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Does my sassiness upset you?
Anyway.
I just always thought she was a comical figure
because she has that accent
and she was like South Carolina or something like that.
It's obvious that nobody
at her Thanksgiving dinner
when she goes home,
I always thought
that'd be a great
SNL sketch.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Go back to
Maya Angelou's house
for Thanksgiving
and all her like,
you know,
you can imagine
the things they would say.
Like, what the fuck?
Pass me.
Some N-word pleases,
you know,
like, you know
you don't talk that way.
Pass.
That would be a good sketch. Let's send that sketch into SNL.
Kyle, you auditioned for SNL many
years ago. I did.
It was a real disaster.
I don't feel bad about it,
though, because, look,
I never was
a guy who planned my life
or had
a vision for what to do and it and i paid
the price now i look back and i go oh you should on this or that well what should you have done in
the early before the internet you really couldn't do much you could audition for snl but there was
also like i had a lot of fear in me and they and you go how do you make money and then i'm like
doing sketch improv like that doesn't there's no money in that. So I started doing standup. And then my managers, I had a couple,
but they all kind of were like, don't do the guitar.
Don't do impressions.
They're like, Seinfeld and, you know, Tim Allen
and these guys, you talk about your family
and then you can make money.
So I was like, okay.
But that's like the wrong thing to do to me.
And I didn't have the, like, the internal fortitude
to be like, no no i don't do that
this is what i do this other thing that's why i just um i naturally was younger i would make
sketches and i would do impressions and characters and stuff and then my professional life if you
look at it i was like i tried to fit into that mold so i didn't work on that stuff so when snl
came i had no material for them. I just sent in a tape.
I did a few impressions.
But if I were to go back, I would say to my younger self,
do what you do well and do that and practice your SNL audition.
You'll get an audition one day.
But I never thought to do that.
But SNL is such a crapshoot, though.
I mean, even if you did everything perfectly,
they might be like, well, this year we want to go.
We need a woman this year.
But if you go in there and you blow the doors off,
they'll keep you around and see you the next,
until you're ready.
I mean,
that's not what your,
your impression.
That's what happened with Pete Davidson.
Oh yeah.
Uh,
that's what I heard.
He blew the doors off.
Yeah.
Apparently Lorne Michaels,
um,
didn't even know how he was going to use them.
Yeah.
But he felt I got to hold onto this guy.
Yeah.
But,
but, but where's the blow the doors off part of that story?
Well, he made, I don't know, he made a huge impact, but.
He saw a stop.
Yeah, but, I mean, yeah, maybe, I mean, he did make an impact.
It's hard to say.
I mean, maybe he just had a, you know.
Yeah, maybe I just had like something he liked.
I don't know.
Well, that's pretty good. That's pretty good.
That's a good Davidson.
Okay.
You know, SNL is just such a crapshoot.
It's hard to rely on.
Ooh, I was so scared, though, because it was like my dream, but I never prepared for it.
And then I just sent in like a tape of like five impressions, and then they were flying me out.
But I'm sure they were great impressions.
Your impressions are always good.
Thanks, Dan.
And now another episode of Bill Maher reading to children.
Okay, this is Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
Oh, really?
He doesn't like rotten food?
What a shocker.
New rule.
If you crack open an egg and green shit comes out,
don't put it in your mouth.
Put it in the fucking garbage.
Okay.
I do not like them on a boat.
I do not like them on a goat.
What the?
Who the fuck would eat food off a dirty farm animal?
And just FYI, if you don't like your rotten eggs in one location, you're not going to like them in any.
Okay?
This is a book of lies.
Here's the truth for you kids.
There's no God.
And when you die, you just rot in the ground like every other species.
And if you want to cry to mommy and daddy about it, be my guest.
They're the two skeletons buried next to you.
The end.
But I went out there and they fly you out and they put you up at a hotel and I didn't have the car.
I was just like...
It was for SNL?
Yeah, and I just... SNL's in New York. Why are they flying you? Well, I was in LA. Oh, you were in LA. Yeah, and they put you up a hotel and i didn't have the con i was just for snl yeah and
i just i was in new york why are they flying yeah well i was in l.a oh yeah and they flew them out
but anyway i got there and they go i go just not first you know there's 30 of us like john
mulaney was there and like um nicole and like a lot of good people and they're like first is
kyle dunnigan and now i'm like even more now the fear terror. I'm feeling terror now. And then the producer came and I kind of had to close the door on her.
And they mic you up.
And it's like, it felt too big.
And I got out there.
And the camera guy goes, I'm going to count you in.
Three, two, one.
You go right in your stuff.
And I was like, oh, okay.
Hanging on to that for life.
You know when you're not ready ready you hang on to doing something
correctly which is not comedy wrong side of your brain so i walked out there i'm staring at the
camera and like lauren and barrett over the left and nothing's happening i'm just staring and then
lauren goes hello like hello we're right here and i go oh hi hi and i go back to camera dead silence
dead silence nothing's happening and then he goes
are you okay?
I haven't even started, it's over
I just crumbled inside
and I go yeah, yeah
Reb and I just started telling him
he goes 3, 2, 1, turn the light on
and now I'm like dead silence
and then the light's on so then I start going
and I can't even retrieve my
abilities to do any impressions like
i just was like next to myself going oh that doesn't sound like him you know what i mean like
i was out of my mind who did you do i know i did bill maher i did um chris hansen sax
and i did um i think dr phil and a few others and then I played the piano and I couldn't play. Like I had no,
I don't know if you ever got so terrified.
You couldn't get to any of your abilities or intelligence.
I was like a zombie.
So then I went back and I was just like white.
And the producer goes up to everyone else and goes,
Hey guys,
when you go out there,
say hi to Lauren.
And so after me,
everyone was like,
hi.
And I was like this weird guy in the beginning.
But anyway.
But do you know who got it?
That's an incredible story.
Bobby Moynihan.
I wonder what the story of the worst SNL audition would sound like.
I don't think it was the worst.
I got by.
But your impressions were probably good, even if you didn't perceive them that way.
I think they were okay.
You can do Mar in your sleep.
Okay, people.
New rule.
Don't screw up your SNL audition.
So that was that,
and then I just went home,
and it was a long flight back.
Oh, Kyle, that's so sad.
You know, poor me.
People have much harder hearts.
You got Maya Angelou?
Okay.
What show is this?
Is this Sally Jessie?
I loved her. Is that the one you're show is this? Is this Sally Jessie? I loved her.
Is that the one you're talking about?
That's not Sally Jessie.
I wanted to ask Maya her views on interracial relationships.
Oh, thank you.
And first, I'm Miss Angelou.
Miss Angelou.
Yes, ma'am.
She keeps going.
I'm not Maya.
I'm 62 years old.
I have lived so long and tried so hard that a young woman like you or any other has no,
you have no license
to come up to me and call me by my
first name. Bitch. That's first.
No, boo. That's first.
She ain't done yet.
She ain't done.
Because at the same time, I am your mother.
I'm your auntie. I'm your
teacher. I'm your professor.
You see?
Listen, you little bitch.
Yeah, I mean dress her down as poor as she was.
Is that the end of the video?
That is so bothersome.
Yeah.
But I think the next person from the audience made a comment on it, too,
I think, in the video, if I remember correctly.
So what I'm seeing there is not just the way she behaves,
but the fact that the audience clapped.
Which you see this all the time.
It reminds me of the way the audience all clapped for Will Smith after they couldn't decide for themselves.
Wait a second.
He just did one of the worst things.
They had to be told.
And you could just imagine some less, you know, it's Maya Angelou.
So, of course, we have to clap when she's a bitch
right but like if if donald trump or somebody said boo you see what an asshole he was on twitter
why would she speak to this poor girl like i know this and she probably idolized her this
this young black i think there's more to that video see See if there's more on the call. No, you have no license. You have no license to talk to me.
Also, we tend to call celebrities, you know, by their first names.
I mean, it's kind of like, right?
I mean, when you refer to a celebrity, you don't refer to them as Mr. typically.
First of all, the thing I really find—
I caught Al Franken came here last night.
I said, hey, Al, I didn't think to say—
Should I have said Mr. Franken or Senator?
Senator Franken.
Should I have?
Was that wrong?
I do, but you know.
You call him Senator Franken?
He said, and Al said.
He's a fucking senator.
And Al said, you have no license.
Yeah, that's the worst.
You have no license to speak to me.
Al was very, very nice, by the way, to me.
But yeah, normally, somebody says, by the way, to me. But yeah, normally
somebody says, it's okay, call me Maya.
It's obviously she didn't mean
it right. And then
the other thing that bothers me is that she says, I'm 62
years old. I'm almost 62
years old. What the fuck do you think you are?
What the fuck is that?
Well, nobody calls me Mr. Natterman.
I don't think I've been called Mr. Natterman more than three
times in my whole life. I'm going to start calling you Mr. Natterman. I don't think I've been called Mr. Natterman more than three times in my whole life.
I'm going to start calling you Mr. Natterman.
And if they do, I get very upset.
The only time is like after last comment.
No, what was it?
America's Got Talent.
There were a lot of little kids in the audience, and some of them came,
Mr. Natterman, can we have a picture with you?
But, I mean, I never become called Mr. Natterman.
I'm really bothered by that clip.
I think there's more to that clip, too, from my memory.'t bitch in that clip i don't know a girl maybe she had maybe she
had a bad day still you take it out on a child who clearly idolizes you you're right the attitude of
the child was something that's a response of someone who's trying to get to you and calls
you maya to like degrade you but that girl was just like, I love you, Maya. And she just dressed her down.
And then you're right, the audience clapping.
I wish someone was like, boo.
Well, the idea that it's important to a person, I mean, it's such an insight into a person.
What is going on behind your, between your eyes, behind your eyes, that the fact that
somebody nicely, admiringly called you by your first name,
that this bothers you.
Is this an inferiority complex?
What is going on there?
You have no right.
Yeah, she has a right.
You may not like it, but she has a right to call you by your first name.
Is this a longer clip?
Yeah, I think there might be more in this one.
I recall them being more, but I could be.
The question is, what do I feel about interracial relationships?
It is very hard
let's hear let's hear not what it is love and it's more difficult i want to hear what she said
about interracial relationships is well it is very if you fall in love with the fellow who lives next
door who whose parents are friends with your parents and the same race and the same culture
and you've gone to the same church all your lives,
and so it is very hard for those two people
to maintain an honorable relationship.
I mean, two people from the same race and culture
throughout the 40, 50 years of a marriage.
It is more difficult if you come from separate,
from other cultures, it's more difficult if you come from separate, from other cultures.
It's more difficult.
But love is love.
People fall in love.
There is nothing one can do about falling in love.
You may fall in love with a person whose family is in feuding with your family.
This is classic.
One sees that in Romeo and Juliet.
You see, when the Catholics,
when these two families were warring.
One sees that when Asian men fall in love with white women,
when white men fall in love with Mexican women.
It's taking a long time to say this sentence.
Well, you don't like interracial relationships.
She's making the sentences so long.
She loves to hear herself talk.
I got to explain it to my people.
I got to explain it to their people.
I got to explain it to people in the street.
I'm going to have to take care of all the children.
People don't set out to do that.
But when they fall in love, I have to feed them.
No, I think the next person addresses the Maya thing, if I remember correctly.
I'm so happy that you went back there.
Thank you. Because it is a peaceful place.
I've been out here in California about eight years.
Is this the first person? There is no respect.
Well, alright, sister.
I agree. I only think that
the children know only what we
teach them.
If there is something wrong in the generations
which last two generations
which did not carry on the tradition. And I think this is true not just in the black
community, this is true in the white community.
Aw, poor girl.
In all the communities. We have not taken the children to our knees and told them the
truth. Darling, here's the way it is. You live in direct
relation to the poets,
the heroes, and the sheroes you have.
Always honor the elders.
She put herself in there.
Honor women.
You honor yourself. Honor men.
You honor yourselves.
Watch your mouth.
Watch what you say
to another human being.
Don't be so ready to be rude.
You have to teach the children that.
People don't jump up out of
cribs, baby cribs
and know that.
So somebody has not done the right thing.
That's all I'm saying.
Poor girl.
It's good that you slapped him. It's good that you slapped him
It's good that you slapped him
Speaking of
Speaking of online shit
I posted a picture, I didn't expect it to go viral
But I certainly didn't expect
The lack of
Approbation, I posted a picture of
Robert Oppenheimer's
Daughter Tony
And I said that she looked
Exactly like a comic that we know,
that we all know.
And I, well, I'll have you be the judge.
Nicole, could you please call up my Facebook page?
No, how do you feel about that?
If you wouldn't mind.
He's promoting his Facebook page in a very indirect way.
No, I...
Clearly using the podcast.
Because this is a very specific picture,
and if you just Google Tony Oppenheimer,
you might...
Okay, so could you blow that up maybe a little bit?
Okay.
Who does that look exactly like?
A comedian that we all know.
I saw, I know.
Okay.
I don't want to say.
Why not?
Because I could be wrong.
So what?
So if you're wrong, you're wrong.
But the question is, I think it's so obvious.
Greer Barnes?
No.
I think it's so obvious, and I didn? No. I think it's so obvious.
And I didn't get the kind of people on Facebook were like, I don't see it.
Take a real guess.
I'm not going to do it.
Why?
Because unlike you people, if I get something wrong and it gets back to that person,
they're going to be like, you know, you insulted me on a national podcast.
Isn't she pretty?
I think she's really pretty.
Not ugly.
Yeah, she's pretty.
Okay, so why would-
To me, it's so obvious who she looks like.
And people on Facebook are like, I don't see it.
I think she looks like this person.
Who is it, Dan?
Well, I want Kyle to tell me who it is.
I saw your post.
Oh, you saw my post.
Yeah, but I would know even if you didn't say it.
Periel, did you-
I saw your post.
Everybody saw my post.
Who is it?
That is a dark-haired Amy Schumer.
As sure as I'm fucking sitting here.
She doesn't hear you say that.
Why not?
I'm kidding.
Yeah, I would say this is not an insult.
It's really not an insult.
It looks exactly like her.
I thought it might be Amy, but the dark hair threw me off.
Nicole, are you in accord?
No, I don't think this looks like her at all.
Oh, you don't?
I'll bring up a picture of Amy.
In the eyes, I see something.
No, the nose.
The same damn nose.
Amy has a daintier nose and is prettier than that.
Amy's a gorgeous woman.
We love Amy.
That's been said.
This girl's beautiful.
This is a...
I don't know who she is, but she's...
Oppenheimer's daughter.
That's Tony Oppenheimer's.
Tony Oppenheimer. Okay. You're trying Oppenheimer's... Tony Oppenheimer.
Okay, that's...
Don't you...
You're trying to get him on the show, too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's a similarity here.
There is a similarity, I believe.
It's the same nose, number one.
No, Amy's nose is thinner.
No, come on.
Also, it's a different pose.
Anyhow.
Well, type in your response.
Type in Amy cocked to the left.
Now, you expected virality?
No, of course not.
Of course I didn't expect virality.
I expected some agreement.
Well, what do you think that means?
It means either I'm crazy or everybody else is crazy.
And the more logical explanation is everybody else is crazy.
Well, maybe they're
scared to say.
Why would you be scared
to say?
Maybe they're afraid to say.
Not a lot of people
are on Facebook these days.
Well, I also posted it
on Instagram stories.
I don't look at the stories.
And I said,
am I crazy?
Apparently I am.
Or does this look like
Amy Schumer?
I mean, you can't say
that it looks like
Whitney Cummings.
I mean, what?
Anyhow, Tony Oppenheimer, for your edification apparel.
I'm reading Oppenheimer, by the way.
Haven't seen the movie yet.
Unfortunately, she died.
The communist party?
She died?
Tony died, yeah.
How'd she die?
Suicide.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh.
But that was Oppenheimer's daughter.
Oh, that's...
Mrs. Oppenheimer to you.
Tony, I don't know if that was short for it.
I lived 62 years.
Do you recommend Oppenheimer, by the way?
No.
I mean, I would see it.
You saw it?
I saw it twice.
And the second time I left...
I was with someone who had not seen it before
and they wanted to leave.
I was like, okay.
But it's very, in my opinion, it's very long.
It's a tough topic to make a movie about
because it's very much in the head.
It's like math and physics.
And the bomb thing is cool,
but then the trial, it's a little dry.
The last half is like the trial.
His crime and his...
I liked it.
I saw it with my 10-year-old son.
He liked it.
But I do have a criticism of it. I saw it with my 10-year-old son. He liked it. But I do have a criticism of it.
Please do.
Tony's not here.
And then I was reading in Strunk and White after this,
and it put it perfectly.
So it talked about devices in writing.
You know Strunk and White, Peril?
Oh, so cute.
It is getting a little old.
The device in writing.
And it says use devices sparingly
writing devices because
it quickly becomes
kind of tiresome and becomes a mannerism
rather than some other word
a mannerism
in Oppenheimer
I'm going to forget what they were
there were two different devices
that he used to show the passage of time.
One was the marbles in the thing.
Wait, let me guess the other one.
I don't know.
Go ahead.
And the other one was the sole construction of the bomb piece by piece.
Remember?
A little bit more of the casing or whatever it was.
Oh, yeah, okay.
And just as a film, it struck me.
I said, I wouldn't have done that.
One is enough.
One of these Hollywood kind of things
that are overarching to show the passage of time is enough.
Two was like a mannerism.
So that's neither here nor there,
but I don't know if Judd Apatow is listening to this.
But did it bother you? Well, this is what I think. Whenever I'm watching a movie, two was like a mannerism. So that's neither here nor there, but if any, like I don't know if Judd Apatow's listening to this or whatever.
But did it bother you or only?
Well, this is what I think.
Whenever I'm watching a movie
and I felt this way
at Schindler's List
when he has that scene
which is lauded
about where the one child
has the red dress.
It's the only color scene
in Schindler's List.
It's the girl with the red dress.
The girl with the red dress.
Whenever something,
and his analogy is to music or two,
whenever something takes me out of the moment
and all of a sudden I'm thinking about the filmmaking,
I feel like that's a fail.
Because I should be lost in the movie.
And that's what I felt in both those moments.
And I remember them very clearly.
I said, oh, now I'm thinking about why did he do that?
It's like I was into the story.
It's a black and white movie. Now there's a red
dress and I'm thinking about, oh, there's a new
technology and how do they do that?
And, you know, and...
That was your lived experience, if you will.
As they say nowadays.
I'm a sophisticated listener.
I didn't have that experience. It was a devastating
device when it came to fruition,
that red dress.
So I found out since then, I want you to continue on that, but I found out since
then that this is something that was carried over from the book.
In the book, he apparently, or I guess Schindler didn't write the book, whoever wrote the book,
they describe this child in the red dress having an impact on whoever it was.
It was that German guy who saw it.
So this, I guess, now in retrospect, I understand
was Spielberg's way of
bringing that to the screen.
But I didn't receive it that way.
I just received it as a clumsy thing.
I mean, we're going back 30
years now, but I recall, yeah, being a little
bit confused why they were doing it, but
the effect was utterly.
Now, he had seen the girl
at a different time,
at a different scene.
It's coming back to me now.
No, at the end, you see her.
She's dead.
And you know it because she's like in a pile of bodies
and you see that red dress.
Spoiler.
Utterly devastating.
So that's the second time you've seen her.
Well, spoiler, it's a 30-year-old movie.
If you haven't seen it, you're probably not going to.
Well, Benny went to Oppenheimer.
I don't know this about Oppenheimer,
but the bomb, and it was very
ambitious of him but they they did a practical bomb explosion but it didn't match up of course
to a nuclear bomb so they they i you just see them kind of doing tricks to try to make you think this
was a big explosion and once you see that it's like like super close and then it just didn't
have i think they should use the actual footage in my opinion
of the bomb going off
maybe it takes you out
because it's not shot
in widescreen or whatever
but
maybe you're so smart
maybe you should have
brought that to bear
on your SNL audition
I did do an impression
of Oppenheimer
but there was something
there was something else
that bothered me
but I might just have missed it
there's a lot of talk
in the movie
about Helning having enough
plutonium and uranium
to make one bomb each.
And then they set off a practice explosion.
Wait, that was not with the bomb, though, in it.
Oh, that.
Like, where did they get the third bomb from?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
All of a sudden, there's a third bomb.
They had enough for it.
They didn't mention the third bomb.
Yeah, I didn't think of that.
Where are those marbles? Where are those marbles? Oh, we finally got it. Now let didn't mention the third bomb. Yeah, I didn't think of that. Yeah.
Where are those marbles?
Where are those marbles?
Oh, we finally got it.
Now bring out the other bomb.
Wait, you have another bomb?
We have extra.
Yeah.
That was a real gamble.
Because we dropped that and it didn't go off.
And they have this whole map on how to make a nuclear bomb or atomic bomb.
All I know is the man said, I am become death,
destroyer of worlds,
and backed it up.
You know what's funny?
I thought that, too,
it seems such an arrogant thing in the way he says it,
I've become death.
But that's like the one moment
where actually he did back it up.
Yeah.
It's hard to back that
kind of a fucking statement up.
I've become death.
You know,
and it was arrogant,
but the man did invent
the nuclear bomb. I'm sorry. You can do it was arrogant but the man did invent the nuclear
I'm sorry
you can do it next
let's see who does it better
ready
I haven't seen the movie
just this line
oh
I've become death
I am become death
you're gonna kill him
just kill him
I mean it just
it's unbelievable
but that's important
it's unbelievable
it is unbelievable
it's unbelievable
is that Martin Short
I don't know
if it sounded like him
yes
I am become death destroyer of worlds Is that Martin Short? I don't know. If it sounded like him, yes.
I am become death, destroyer of worlds.
Okay, Dan.
Well, I'm not an impressionist.
I just do an impression of your impression.
I am become death.
You have no license.
What was that red dress girl that was devastating?
Utterly.
Utterly devastating. But it's i am become death
which makes it all the more powerful a line for some reason why i don't know why i can't explain
it's wrong well it's it's it's it's archaic it's archaic i think people used to it was from
sanscript that was from sanscript that well yeah but also I think people used to use that
type of formulation
like he is
I'll give you another
example
he is risen
he rose
he has risen
he is risen
to become death
to become
so that's
an archaic
formulation
by the way
there's like
three movies
all summer
there was
Barbie,
Oppenheimer
and Mission Impossible it's usually it's a block all summer. There was Barbie, Oppenheimer, and Mission Impossible.
It's a blockbuster summer.
And it was like,
those were all blockbusters.
But then you go,
well,
would it have been if we got the normal amount of movies?
That's a good question.
Yeah.
I mean,
I saw Oppenheimer twice.
I used to go to movies like all the time to go to the movie theater.
Yeah.
All the time.
Mostly because I was trying to avoid my roommate at the time.
And when I moved into my own place, I didn't need the movies anymore.
Oh, that's sad.
Do you ever have a roommate that you're like, perfectly nice guy, but I just couldn't.
I had a roommate who was a stutterer one time.
Are you supposed to say stutterer?
Yeah, I think so.
I think consonant
challenge
and
he was a good guy
I should look him up
but a good guy
he may have been
but it was
I don't want to talk
about it because
I had a roommate
who
him and his
girlfriend were there
in tiny rooms
and someone's there
with their girlfriend
and they got the they turned the heat off because they're warm in a bed.
And he's like, me and Becky just took triple-dip acid
and stared at the sun.
That's what he told me one day.
And I come back one day, I open the door,
and it went like three inches and hit the refrigerator.
And he's like, we removed the room around
so it's got more space.
I'm like, yeah, but you can't get, like, he didn't even,
he was so high.
Yeah, he put the fridge in front of the door
thinking he made some nice
feng shui. Anyway, go ahead, Dan.
I used to... Back in the days when there was
bookstores everywhere,
I'd go to the bookstore for a couple hours
and go to the movies.
Yeah, there's less of that stuff to do to get
out of your house. The mall is kind of empty.
I'd just take out the hell out of my house. Or I'd go to the record store when they used to have
listening stations. Tower Records. Tower Records or Virgin Records Store my house. Or I go to the record store when they used to have listening stations.
Tower Records.
Tower Records or Virgin Records Store.
So that's how I used to just eat up, chew up time.
And by the way, these were good date locations.
Yeah, right.
Take a girl, go to the record store,
buy her a DVD, close a CD, close a deal.
I had such a zane. Close the deal with a DVD?
CD.
Can I tell you guys an app date I had?
And she was so crazy on text, I canceled.
And she's very pretty.
And I, this girl.
Are you on ride?
You didn't call her by her first name?
Oh, I can't show her face.
No, don't show her face.
Oh, she's gorgeous.
Okay.
She attracted, but.
She related to the Oppenheimers Oppenheimer?
no Opens
Oppenheimer?
Oppenheimer?
that's why I've always heard it
can I see the picture?
what happened?
we set up a date
I just had so many crazy ones in a row
and then that night we didn't set up a normal like I just had so many crazy ones in a row. And then that night, we didn't set up a normal, like,
oh, okay, we'll get coffee and we're burp, burp, burp.
And then that night, okay, it's 11 p.m., she writes me.
Out of nowhere, I'm not even going to lie, right?
She writes you, I'm not going to lie.
I don't know her.
I go, lie about what?
I'm fucked up.
I never get out or do anything.
This is what happens.
No good deed goes unpunished. And I go, oh, no. I never get out or do anything. This is what happens. No good deed goes unpunished.
And I go, oh no.
I'm fine.
Next text. Just took a lot of mushrooms.
Next text. Being transparent. Next text.
We can cancel tomorrow. I get it.
So I just wrote,
I'm going to get a therapist for us
and we're going to go over this text chain with her.
Because I can ask mine
for recommendations. Don't freak me out.
Is this boring? Maybe it goes crazy crazy. No, no, no. This is amazing. over this text chain with her because i can ask mine for recommendations don't freak me out is
this boring maybe it goes crazy crazy no no this is going get to the crazy don't freak me out
seriously and i feel like someone's behind you yeah my dad i'm not even kidding so there's like
a dad issue i'm like this is good more good stuff for a therapist stop don't make this worse really
good he's haha okay then she goes my cat is she asked me about music and a bunch of stuff then she goes my cat
won't stop talking my neighbors hate me and i go your cat is talking this sounds like a mushroom
thing then sent me a picture of her and her cat her kissing her cat like on the mouth
and she goes i'm sorry delete my number i'm annoying um uh this goes on and on i won't
bore everybody But like
Please go on
Anyway sorry
Introduce her to Dan
She goes sorry
I'm a freak
I would play through that
I'm sorry
I would too
I'm a freak
We don't need to meet up tomorrow
They kept saying that
You know
She was saying that?
Yeah and when someone says
I'm a freak
You gotta like believe them
Now does she know
That you're a minor celebrity?
I mean you gotta figure she probably doesn't.
Don't have a huge following.
You do have a huge following.
I mean, I don't get, I'm able to go to Walmart without getting bothered.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, but you have a huge following.
Is that the standard?
Would Matt Rife be able to go to Walmart?
No way.
Matt Rife could not go to Walmart.
Your following is not a Walmart crowd.
Yeah, that's true.
Your following is much more sophisticated.
Do you know what I do get, which kind of sucks,
is a lot of men, they're alone.
So a lot of my crowd buys one ticket.
Usually, you get a little extra friends.
That's awful.
Yeah.
And there's a lot of Asperger's too.
Yeah.
That Steve Martin movie, The Lonely Guy.
I met Matt Rife.
Was he here?
So handsome.
I know.
He's very pretty.
Did he come here?
No, he's at Chappelle's.
Okay.
Has he been on here?
I guess not.
No.
We should, you want to try to get him on?
We could probably get him on because I'm wanting to met his manager or
something.
Just, just to sum this up. Then she wrote, um,
the periods freak me out. Next text. Can't stand it.
I wrote periods and I go,
the periods at the end of my sentence just seems serious.
Reminds me of my mom.
Okay. How old is she?
36.
Because my daughter, they hate periods. My daughter's like,? 36. Because my daughter told me. Yeah, they hate
periods. My daughter's like,
my daughter's 11. Why do you punctuate
like that, Ted? Isn't that weird?
She criticizes my periods.
Yeah. The next day
she wrote, wowza, that's quite the journey last night.
Apologies again.
No periods? No, I stopped doing periods.
But she doesn't use periods?
She doesn't use any. What about question marks?
Also, another thing they do is that every thought goes like a whoop.
Instead of going, I went to the store and I got an apple.
It's a good thing.
I went to the store, whoop, got an apple.
What do you mean whoop?
Yeah, yeah.
I hate that.
Oh, they break it.
Yeah, yeah.
Sometimes I'm busy.
Bring it up into bite-sized pieces.
Anyway, boy, I sound like an old man today.
I feel like you should commit to the periods.
I bailed on them.
I don't do them anymore because...
This is a mistake.
Yeah.
You shouldn't show fear.
But I feel like I want to be young with the hip kids.
I want to be all...
That's fine.
They don't use periods, young people?
No.
The next girl you meet,
enter the relationship without periods.
But if a girl criticizes your periods
and then you just give into it
it's like though that I could push this guy well I that's right speaking of a
well I canceled our date so she couldn't put on a period of aging oneself I
remember going to a girl's apartment a few years back and and and she says you
wanna watch TV and I said what's on which is you know that's something that
would somebody from that grew up in the 80s would add oh yeah there yeah, right. Because there's no such thing as what's on.
Everything's on.
Right.
What's on?
Everything that's ever been produced.
That's what's on.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
But, like, in my head, like, I don't watch a lot of TV.
I'm more Reed now, so I guess I wasn't, I didn't, whatever.
But I said, what's on?
And did you strike out?
No, I got a little titty, but.
Oh, God, Dan.
That's not what I meant.
That's what I was hoping about. You got a little titty. But, God. That's not what I meant. That's what I was hoping about.
You got a little titty.
But that was a faux pas.
She was like, it's on.
Anyway.
I have to go.
Okay.
But this is a topic.
I want to ask you something.
Gnome's always saying that comedians amongst us, and I disagree with him, but Gnome's made the point many times that comedians look down on impressions.
They think impressions are silly or not real comedy.
I don't, by the way, I don't hear that,
but Noam claims to hear that.
Well, I think it's because there's usually no content,
or it's very hard to do an impression in a stand-up act
unless you have a story where, like, you did something
and, you know, whoever, like you did something and you know whoever like
marlon brando or whatever was there and you're integrating into some funny story because
otherwise going like this is my impression of jack nicholson eating a salad it isn't good i kind of
want to hear that's why i don't really do impressions of my act it's really hard to get
them in and not be uh like hacky it's hard to do them. That's my answer.
Do you enjoy an impression that's
quote-unquote hacky? In other words, like, well, here's
Al Pacino ordering a macadamia brittle.
Ice cream.
Sometimes I do.
I'm not
much of a snob.
And about anything,
I don't believe in
these rules, but I know that comedians quite often will look down.
Now, there's exceptions to all rules.
In other contexts, I've said, like sometimes in music,
there's rules of music, there's rules of harmony,
and then somebody will do something.
You're not supposed to do that.
There's a genius exception to anything.
No matter what the rule of thumb is,
somewhere there are people who just are so good at something or so clever or so unique
about the way they do it that that will overwhelm the rule. In general, comedians, I think, don't
like impressions. However, I think they all enjoy whatyle does because something about the way he does it is so not is a
so atypical so quirky and unique to your kind of way the way you see these people and what you're
bringing out is often he does it in a sketch context but even when he does it not as it like
he'll do paul mccartney but the mannerisms that he brings out of Paul McCartney are so different and so unique to him over what anyone else would probably bring out of Paul McCartney that this is a new pleasure to it all.
Well, I think you're half right.
I don't think you need to disagree with Noam at all.
I think you're half right.
Comics do enjoy Kyle, but I do not hear comics disparaging impressions in general.
All right.
But I do agree with Kyle that the best way to do an impression
would be to integrate it into a story or a joke
rather than just saying,
can you imagine if Al Pacino went to the ice cream parlor?
Do you agree that they don't like guitar acts?
No, I haven't heard that either.
It's tough.
It's another thing that's tough.
Prop acts.
Because I did that.
I haven't heard that either.
I haven't heard any of those.
Don't bring a guitar on stage.
Well, it's like, yeah, any kind you bring a prop,
it doesn't feel like pure stand-up.
But I think it has merit if you're really making an audience laugh.
Of course it has merit.
Mark Cohen won't bring his guitar and say,
if anyone wants to kill him.
Chris Turner does his freestyle rap.
And, of course, I haven't heard anybody say,
now you may say that's because that's so brilliant
what he's doing, that that's part of the
exception you were talking about. But I haven't heard any comic
disparaging that. Have you seen Chris
Turner do this thing? It doesn't
seem possible. What is it?
He takes some suggestions of
weird topics. Should we pull one out?
No, no, no. From the audience.
And then he does a freestyle rap.
Incorporating it.
Incorporating all five.
But it's so fucking clever.
It's such a mental accomplishment.
It'd take too long to do it.
Just to remember,
he asked the audience
for like five topics.
Just to remember the topics
would be difficult.
Yeah.
Because they're crazy topics.
It's not like,
oh, the topic is Canada.
No, the topic is,
you know,
the ice cream festival in Hamilton, Ontario.
Like that ridiculous.
The coffee that spilled the Chick-fil-A.
And he asks for really weird topics.
Yeah, he wants those.
And so he gets five of them, which would be hard enough just to memorize.
And he will integrate them.
Wouldn't it be more interesting to watch this?
No, because it takes forever.
Parallel, you would be the worst producer.
You have to sit through
He is the producer.
You have to sit through
and watch it,
getting the suggestions
and it's,
no,
it would be the worst thing
to watch it.
What's his name?
I'll watch him.
Chris Turner.
And when he's here,
I think he's in town,
you know.
It's a remarkable feat.
They always put him on
at the end
because it's a showstopper.
It's a showstopper.
That's what I want.
I want all showstoppers.
I have to go.
I'm going for him.
Okay.
Noam, thank you for coming on my podcast, and you're welcome back anytime you want to
come in.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Where's Kurt Metzger?
We need Kurt Metzger on.
He's in L.A.
He is the sidekick to Jimmy Dore, who I think we should have on if we can get him.
Yeah, sure.
We can get Jimmy Dore.
Jimmy Dore keeps threatening to do a show
with the Underground, but he never follows through.
Jimmy Dore is one of these comics
that kind of got a following by being political, really.
Big following.
And he's a guy I like because he knows
I don't agree with him on...
Probably anything.
Well, some things I do, but most of it's...
But he's nice.
Like, I don't...
We get along, you know, we can disagree.
He's pleasant. Yeah. I like him. Do you know him? Yeah, yeah. Is he a nice guy We get along. We can disagree. He's pleasant.
Yeah.
I like him.
Do you know him?
Yeah, yeah.
Is he a nice guy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've only had nice interactions.
He's super smart.
Yeah.
Super smart guy.
Well, I mean, judging by his tweets, he's out there.
Let's just say that.
He's more like the RFK Jr-ish, I believe, you know, Ivermectin.
There's at least three or five aliens in the White House, according to my sources.
That's fantastic.
I'm just asking questions.
That's RFK Jr.
Oh, is that?
Okay.
That's exactly RFK Jr.
I thought that was Jimmy Dore.
No, I've never heard RFK.
You've never heard RFK Jr.?
I've never heard him talk.
I just read about him.
Oh, he talks very uniquely.
He has something on it.
He is the son of RFK, the guy that wasK How'd you know that?
But RFK sounded like his brother
He sounded like
Let's go to Massachusetts
No he doesn't sound like
He's got a medical condition
He lost the ability to speak easily
Speak like this
That sounds like Catherine Hepburn
Catherine Hepburn is more like this
Alright Noam Oh, that sounds like Catherine Hepburn. Katie Hepburn. He has a little Katie Hepburn. Catherine Hepburn is more like this.
All right, Noam.
See ya.
See ya. Well, we'll just do a few more minutes.
Pull up Chris Turner.
Well, yeah, it's a great idea, by the way.
What's a great idea?
To pull up Chris Turner.
Now, it does take, it would take a long time.
It would take two seconds.
We sat through five minutes.
Well, he's got to get all the suggestions.
He's got all the suggestions.
Maya Angelou's entire interview, that was fine.
I didn't sign on.
That was riveting.
No, I didn't sign on for the entire interview.
I wanted him to play, to skip ahead to the next woman from the audience talking.
Right, I understand that.
I did not sign on to hear her talk about interracial relationships.
But no, I enjoyed it.
He probably wanted to leave. We could probably pull it up now. relationships. But no, I'm enjoyed it. You probably wanted to leave.
We could probably pull it up now.
I'm in favor. I think
we should totally pull it up.
You just have to watch the beginning. It's like
two minutes. Here, you know what?
I'll find one. You guys talk. I'll find one.
Okay, Dan.
I hope you had a good experience on the podcast.
I always do.
I feel like when I come on here, you guys are both very politically literate.
No, I'm not politically literate at all.
In fact, that's a big bone of contention.
Not at all.
I can talk about big issues like, do I think abortion should be legal?
Do I think trans kids should get surgery?
Do I think, you know, gun control?
What do I think of guns?
Big stuff.
But Noam gets into like, well, actually the holding in the case of Meyerberg versus Hansen
on the 3rd District Court of Appeals said this.
You know, Noam can get into that kind of minutia.
But I can just talk about big philosophical points and enjoy that,
but I'm not nearly as informed as he is.
This is Chris Turner.
Little chemicals that I can treat.
30 to 60.
More if they're nifty.
You see a nice pair like maybe I should nick these.
Air Force Ones to Air Force.
You were there saying, Dad, yes, I adore in the Coast Guard.
People swim and then they drown.
Your brother's like, nah, I'll send them back down
To a watery grave
One between the eyes
You were like, me or my, I would not advise
Aiming for the skies in the Air Force
Coming down, now the guy, yeah, what does he care for?
All of the runners, they run fast, thin
And they think it's so fun
Until they get the shin splints
That's the difficulty you
tear in your ACL or your calf muscle happens in the soccer game as well it often puts people on
the bench injuries took your shirt off like I should mention you want to wear it sharing the
clothes it's probably sweaty bro because I know you're signing up for the marathon You won't have a smile once you've styled through there
26 miles, 0.2, 0.4
It's all Greek to me
Cause it's invented by the Greeks, literally
But you were sat there
Looking coy, looking prim
I asked what you do, the guy with no chin
And you whispered
Yes, right inside there
You're like, I'm a financial advisor
Oh, heaven sent more than 1%.
If you've got a lot of money, don't know what to do with it,
you can tell them.
It's pretty easy, no?
Just put it in stocks and watch it grow.
Or a tracker fund.
I'm not trying to lose you work.
I'm just saying in the past, yeah, you chose to shirk responsibilities.
You're like, look what's on offer.
I'll help humanity. I'll become a doctor. Someone walks up to shirk responsibilities. You're like, look what's on offer. I'll help humanity.
I'll become a doctor.
Someone walks up to you really sick.
They're like, please diagnose me really quick.
You're like, wait, what?
I have to deal with people and flesh and blood and just feel and palpate?
And if the runner comes in, example, if this guy walks in with his shins all bleeding,
he's like, I tripped on the road.
What am I going to do?
You, well, you'd know probably.
You'd bandage it.
You'd do a sprain.
Fixing that.
Oh, and it's such a bloody shame.
But don't worry.
You're stacking cash, having such fun.
And if you go for a run and the rumble in your tum,
you get the runs in the marathon.
Let it run free.
That's a diarrhea pun that you get from me. And if you're doing this, tum you get the runs in the marathon let it run free that's a diarrhea
pun that you get from me and if you're doing this if you produce the poo and it dribbles down your
thigh and goes to your shoes what you're gonna do you're feeling so keen you're like i need to get
my running sneakers clean and so my guy when you've done your dirty business. Get his work and increase his business.

Scared doctor.
Soccer player.
Air force.
Sneaker cleaning.
Financial advisor.
Scared doctor.
He's got to remember it all.

It's wild.
I mean, that takes some practice. Well, It also takes Being fully not nervous
Yes
Because it's hard to retrieve rhymes when you're nervous
I'm nervous
I have jokes that I've been doing for years
That are bulletproof and I'm scared shitless
This guy's going up there
And he doesn't know
It's completely new each time

It's 90% that is moving
here, and I hope it does, because that would give
me cheer, because Kyle and I
are friends
And we got into a fight
But we made amends
I think you could
That's like without any practice
If you practiced that for a few weeks
You'd be like
Rhymes would be like immediately
The rhymes would be in my head
Because when you're on stage
It's that or you're dead
And let me tell you something
My brother I'm like no other He's in trouble my head because when you're on stage it's that or you're dead and let me tell you something my
brother i'm like he's in trouble he's in trouble yeah you know what you do also is you end with
where there's a lot of arms like me you end up with an e you have a or because then you've got
like all these words you can go to all these words e a e and a a word a lot of words. There's a lot of words.

if you rhyme with something.

If you couldn't rhyme scat, then it would be pretty sad.
What rhymes with scooby-doo-doo?
Yeah, what nonsense rhymes with scooby-doo-doo?
If I get a decent enough price in the house, but if it's really low.
I have really good interest rate.
All right, let me try this.
Kyle's going to sell his house in L.A.
And he's going to come to New York way.
But he needs a high price.
Otherwise, it ain't so nice.
Sounds pretty good.

Otherwise, no dice.
No dice would have been better, yeah.
All right, give me a topic and a beat.
The topic is family-friendly porn.
And here's the beat.
I can't do beats.
Well, when I go on the internet and I like to see all the porn,
that looks good to me.
That was a really bad beatbox backup you gave me. Yeah, because I don't do a beat. All the porn. That looks good to me. Cha-cha-cha. That was a really bad beatbox backup you gave me.
Yeah, because I don't do that.
