Okay, baby. You say, okay, baby. Okay, baby. You need to be up slightly higher. All right. Okay, baby. Okay, baby. That's me disciplining a small child as an adult.

We're going to start the podcast. Okay, baby. Nick, Murphy is here. Nick, how long have you been at the caper? At the caper? How long have you been throwing down? I think that's what that meant. Like 10 years?

10 years. All in Atlanta. Yeah, a lot of road stuff, but yeah, base out of Atlanta. The helium there, magnificent. Helium's very cool, yes. And is it, you played the black rooms? Yeah, man. That's part of the game, you know?

And Atlanta's got some of the best. Not for these honks out here. Well, that's true. Very few of the honks out here playing the black rooms. That is true. It's very nice to see black rooms. black people out in Austin because there's not a lot of them. I'm told to go to Dallas and Houston to find them.

You've got to go. You've got to hunt them down. You got to hunt them. You know, it's the progressive cities that would most love to have black people there. Yeah, I just saw somebody else talking about this. No, someone already done that?

Well, on a podcast, but yes, it's the more progressive cities that, I think they were talking about Brooklyn. Portland? Portland probably also. Yeah. Well, yes. I think it was on flagrant with Schultz and them. I think they were like, it used to be.

Brooklyn used to be like Biggie and Tupac and now it's the guy with skateboarding. I got a bone to pick. With Schultz? I got a bone to pick, Shultz. Let's do it. Let's hear this out. I watched The Godfather, and then I saw a clip of Schultz talking about the Godfather. I'm not convinced that his take is, I don't believe that the wife at the end of the first

movie knows that he's lying about killing the husband. See, I haven't seen it enough to even know to have a good discussion about this. I'm getting back into the Godfather. I just started watching the Sopranos, actually. Never seen it. Oh, well? I've seen the first episode. We have a stalemate.

I said, what is? This is a whole show about an Italian man looking at ducks? And going to therapy. I didn't know he's in therapy the whole show. It does make it more interesting because he has to talk to a lady that he doesn't want to talk to the whole time. That's what I think of is great entertainment. He's having to talk to a lady. Talk to a woman, man.

People say it's great. Pat, you've seen the Sopranos? It's worth watching, obviously. No. It's a big gap in my... Wait, Pat, you watch The Sopranos? Okay, baby. A reference to something that invariably will have been cut.

Oh, come on. That's why I was checking the lines on the screen. I thought we were still good. No, we probably are still good. All right. We're doing this show tonight. Eve is usually running this show. The show's called Power Bomb.

It's a new material night. Yeah, it's a great show. I did it last week. I had a fun set. Great show, great times, great people. By the way, I will just before I talk about that, big shout out Matt McCusker, who special is on Netflix.

Shout out to Matt. Now, October 7, Netflix. Go check it out. Humble offering. It's a funny guy. Let's get it to number one. Yes. Cuska to number one.

Yes. In preparation, I bought Netflix yesterday. Okay. Prices have gone through the roof. Yeah, I've heard this. I don't use Netflix. I was off Netflix, and I thought I'll watch some of the old Netflix, you know, over the last year, the specials they've been putting out. Yeah, yeah.

Garbage. I didn't say that. All right. They're making some production. decisions on them. I think they have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on it. Matt looks good. Matt looks good. There's not a dig on Matt. This is a dig on everybody else. You're saying the other ones that you've watched. That's how you prefaced your statement. I just watched the first five minutes of a lot of them. Yeah. And it's like, man, they're looking for an

excuse to spend a lot of money. The, you know, cameras are doing things that cameras got no business doing it. Try to spice it up. I think if I ever am so blessed to get a Netflix special. And of course, Maybe I should include that We want that for you James I just don't understand What it profits the show To have something Whoa

Get that NFL drone camera You know Going back and forth Show the huddle from the back Have you seen the big arm The big like metallic arm Yeah yeah yeah Put a crane in there

Like look at that It makes it funnier One and a half thousand people in a theater Whoa that's crazy That's not something everybody sees I think you're reacting Exactly how they want people to react My reaction was, ah, why we're doing that?

Yeah, but there's guys out there. They put a lot of makeup on people? Well, yeah. Not everybody? Yeah. But a lot of the guys, you go, you're not usually wearing that much makeup. I had to get dusted up for the taping. I did with those guys.

Not makeup, but it was like a drying thing. So you don't look shiny when you walk out there? You are a shiny one. A little bit, yeah. I can see that now. I got the forehead, yeah. They've actually, I take it all back. They're doing great and necessary work.

See, I needed my ladies from the taping out here before I go on James's podcast. I like the rough, I like the audio to be good. That's about all you need, man. That's the old soul stuff. It's wrong of me to set up an iPhone on the other side of the room and say, I am a genius when it comes to aesthetics. You didn't have to tell him it was on that, but see, that's how you know.

This is good. He's being transparent with you guys. I didn't realize how acclimatized I'd been from not watching Netflix for seeing the Netflix specials. And then I watch the YouTube specials. And then I'd make the jump and I watch the Netflix ones. And it's like almost hunger games. You go, wow, clean.

I mean, it's probably normalcy. The previous generation, that's the normal thing you'd be looking at is someone who's so clean. You know, the outfit, they're pressed together. There's Nate Bagazzi, and he's in the round, and the camera's the whole time, the camera's going, whoosh, all around him, always moving, always blinking. Here, here, here, here.

I just, I don't, I don't understand it. Come, just start at the first choke, I think. Yeah. You remember the one when Sebastian came out of the floor? I remember when... That seemed like a lot. I haven't seen that one yet, but I remember when Kev comes out of the floor.

I think Kev's done it as well. And there's fire. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like Charlie Kirk's wife coming out on stage. The production values at that funeral. The pyro techniques. Yeah, yeah.

I don't think we need pyro for stand-up comedy. Here's the question. How do you get something to look captivating? I mean, I'm just making it look needlessly expensive. I think it just has to look like it was an awesome time to be there. I'm a Louis guy, so chewed up to me is like a perfect. What's the one where he has no opening? That's live at the beacon and he just walks out. Yeah, and he says no Jews and all that stuff. Check with an usher. If you see somebody Jewie looking, all that stuff. But what a,

what a strength, what a risk in hindsight with what I know about American stand-up comedy. That's what made it awesome. It was so, there's no opener, cut the house lights. You just go, oh, yeah. He's doing it. Yeah, yeah. He's throwing down. But then chewed up, they're like, I think that's the one where they're like clapping, like the anticipation of him coming out. And then he was, walks out and then he says what's going on how you know in fact it's and that's the first big pop but it's just the raw he doesn't come out of the floor there's no fire there's no fire works there's no gymnasts doing shit behind him it's a much more stunt and move i think to go from lights on and walking through the no warm up sure as a comic yeah that's scary yeah but i think that's

part of the thing i also think it's i mean it might be just oversaturated right now james i think there it used to be where like everyone's just waiting for So many of them. I think, yeah, everybody used to just wait for, like, Dave Chappelle to put his shit out or put Cat Williams or whoever. Now you got... Pic Chronicles, Volume 2. Where's that?

Now you got 30 guys a month dropping stuff, you know? And I'm not saying it's good or it's bad. I just think... It's mostly very bad. Because I've dropped stuff. It's mostly extremely bad. Well, so maybe that's what they're trying to do at Netflix. All right, now we need to add fire.

It's not... We can't just do stand-up anymore. It's too much of the same thing, you know? Well, there are really limited things one can do. And then they put that one guy that was in his bedroom for three hours, just talking. Remember that one? No, what? I think that was on Netflix.

No, no, no, not Bo Burnham. It was some other guy. He just, he did it special with like no one there. And that was like a new crazy thing. I remember Maria Bamford did it to her parents. She did it to her parents, but that was wholesome. Yeah. But then there was, I think someone, I think someone now has done the empty stadium.

I think empty stadium is a good, funny one. That's coming on Instagram. There's guys that are doing jokes to know. no one bombing on purpose and it's going like nuclear views it's kind of insane it's all fiddling around the edges it's like making a video that's that yeah yeah the you know the that the wide yeah narrow i just i believe i decided long ago yeah never to walk in anyone else's you know what i'm saying there's got to be more interesting ways to do it so how do you how are you going to do yours i have no idea for the well here's one idea no i got to keep it secret what if we

go back i got to keep it secret what if we go back i got to keep it secret To what I was just saying. What if we go back to the Louis, like the very simple, just keep it simple. Isn't that? I mean, we want to hear the material. See maybe a couple audience reaction shots. But like just the bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Give me the comedy.

That's what it is. It's a comedy special. It's not a movie. How about? I mean, I would just like to reshoot it in exactly the style of Elvis Presley's Christmas special. Okay. With, you know, JDFM on the red lights. I'm wearing a leather jacket.

All right. Intimate. that I just sing the wonder of you. You want to do jokes that black people wrote before? Is that Elvis? That's pretty good. That's not bad. You don't understand.

I am scared of you. Kick me. No, I don't know. I just get in my head about it, and it's better not even to consider it. I think the best ones you just focus on the act and then you let somebody do all that. You just try to focus on the act,

the silly stuff around the outside. That's what we're here doing tonight at Power Mom. I mean, look at this. This is going to go crazy because it's just, it's the raw. We just walked on stage and started. That's all we did. Same thing.

There's no pyro, you know? I'm struggling to find interesting new locations for the podcast. So every time it's a, what do you? Is this a don't tell podcast? Yes. That's inspired. I did by the road. Okay.

By the road? Yeah, I did on the interstate. Well, how was the audio on that? Better than I would. You get a lot of wind burn, as Trump would say? I got nothing. I got none of these bad boys. Wind burn.

Does he say wind burn? Yeah, it was with the trans swimmer. And he said, The swimmer went so fast compared to the girls. They got wind burn. It's pretty funny. Anyway, that's what they remind me. He said something recently that really touched me.

It was not retarded Joe Biden. I've been doing a bit about how he pronounced a Cidaminophen. That's been going pretty good. I like that one. He couldn't do it. I'll probably do it tonight on the show. I struggled the first time I came to this country. Hold, I'm trying to remember.

What did he say? It was so funny and strange. That's a lot of what he says. it was a good one he's really bounced back from having that stroke right after charlie kirk was shot yeah yeah half of his face didn't work anymore yeah hold on now he was kind of going through that during covid too people thought like when he got it and he was kind of like his chest was up high and he was breathing kind of heavy people thought he was going to go back then i remember i'd forgotten that he got covid yeah it's kind of a miracle that him and biden made it through all of that i mean i guess

because you know they're going to have the top medicine available but still you know given how many people did croak. I can't believe it's completely gone. I thought it was the most exciting thing I had ever heard him say, and it's entirely gone. That's content, folks. Where else have we done? It's a lot of hotel rooms. Hotel rooms is fine.

Hotel rooms. This is the first time doing it on a comedy. So it's an only fan's podcast also? I do think that. Yeah. I started writing last night a poem that I thought could be turned into a short film. Okay. But it's about, because I'm always just thinking, if you write a movie,

or something that you can shoot. And you write it in a location that you'd really like to be. I think this is the genius, as I kicked that around accidentally, of like White Lotus, where he goes, ah, what if we were all in the best hotel in the world? Okay. And that's where the story happens. So it does happen in a nice hotel.

Great. I don't know. I'm explaining this. I really, it came to me in a dream and I wrote it out in a poem, but I figured out how these hotels work, these hotel chains. Yeah. You open a hotel chain, and then you open up one that's worse and one that's better, and one that's much worse and much better,

like a Hilton, you know, there's like five levels of Hilton. And every town you go to, it's five different Hilton's, it's all the same rewards points. But, you know, you're a businessman, and you start out maybe on the second to bottom level of hotels, bottom level of hotels, mainly just for, you know, prostitutes and people fleeing domestic violence. That's what they're for. That's how they're used.

Then you have the second level. Is that really? Yeah, it's great. The second level is actually fine. That's your low-level business people, holiday in-type. But there are things about it that upset you. Yeah. The breakfast is clean and acceptable, but not good. I never make it. You make it to breakfast?

Sometimes all I have to live for is the breakfast. Because for me, I mean, I sleep in usually, and they're like, breakfast is from 2 to 4 a.m. And you're just like, well, why is it, why are you even telling me? I'm not going to go to that. Well, once you go to the next level, it's really worth getting up for the breakfast, because at that point, the breakfast is really good. Yeah. They give you, they have, and it's like sponsored by a yogurt company. Okay.

So you're getting the good yogurt. Yeah. And the nice berries and the buffet. See, I don't eat any of that stuff. Oh, you get the bacon. They have a lady there cook and she goes, what would you like? There's not just eggs in a corner. Okay, baby.

Yeah, there's a lady who says, okay, baby. No, she was a little Asian lady. Oh. That you work your way up the races as you work up the fanciness. Yeah. You know, the one that's okay, the one that's clean and safe, the bed's comfortable enough. But then you go to the next one, you go, no. pillows. But you went to unlock the points so that when you move up, you stay with the family.

You know, you're entrusted. And maybe you get a taste of the one that's better. You know, they go, oh, you've got an upgrade. You're in the, you're in the four star instead of the three star this time. And you notice. But then you go, how can I go back to gray carpets and meaningless art on the walls? Now that I've had a chandelier. Now that I've seen a chandelier, this is who I am. And then you go, I will spend the extra $120. If you're paying for it, like if it's comped does that matter well sometimes the the business will say and we've got your accommodation covered and then maybe at that point you go oh pay an extra 40 well so okay so like i guess what i'm asking is like because when i did this this taping for for Netflix I was in

probably the nicest room I've got you up in the writs yeah I forget no I was like a asper asterate at something assidemophon yeah and it was like a sweet it was way more room I didn't even use all of the room. Baby. And, but, but to your point, I'm not, my next hotel, I'm not, I'm not like, oh, I got to have that again. I'm okay, because I, then I would have to pay for it. That was too much too soon.

Yeah, perhaps. Well, it was just, it was paid for. That is nice when they're paid for. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my goodness, I mean, here's what I would say. The pool starts getting very reasonable. Well, yeah, but also, I, you know, I don't have a lot of time to go to the pool either, I guess. But my thing is I'm a comfort and sweets guy. To me, comfort and sweets, the beds,

the rooms, almost exactly the same as a Hilton room. Yeah. Assuming the size of the room is the same, and you didn't buy the bachelor pad at the top. You're getting a sweet deal. That's what I'm saying. If you're not in a sweet size and just room to room, it's the same quality room, in my opinion. The only difference is that Hilton's going to have a fountain in the fucking lobby that's the only difference don't you love coming home to a fountain after a long night on the road i see i keep it comfort in sweets do you want to jump on as well it's like 120 for a night it's great everybody's jumping on yeah jump on the podcast Alex is working the door here we're talking about hotel stuff yeah i just there's something i will figure out how to write that thing about

it tell the people what you've got going on what do you got going on Alex i'm going to check that the camera's still not shit i'm working door at velvita lounge that's huge It's big. It is. Somebody's got to check all these people. They do, because people will just come up, they'll walk in,

they don't respect it. You know what I mean? So I'm working this door. I'm holding it down. Do you feel like people don't respect you as a door guy? Dude, yes. Why do you think that is?

We love having it. Alex, I'm going to say this. Alex is working the door. Eve got him to work the door. I put, she said, we've got to let that door guy do a spot. I said,

okay. He gets a. up does nothing but criticize me for the first three minutes of the show. That's funny. You said my work was racist. You said, I was only putting you on because you were the door guy and I had to. And both of those things were true. And it was a wonderful set.

I was going to say, did you do well? And even if you weren't working the door, Alex, I'd have you one at this point. Yeah. Are you getting paid for this? I don't think so. All right. Man, Eve is living up to the stereotype of her people. Tell the people what you got going on, Alex, now that he's out.

outside and can't hear us. Tell people what you got going on. Eve tonight is doing an audition at the comedy store. So our thoughts and prayers are with Eve. We want Eve to get that. Thoughts and prayers. That would be huge for the crew. Yeah, I did one of those a couple months ago.

I thought I did well, but I didn't like blow the roof off. So I'm like, I probably would have to do that three or four more times before I got passed there. I understand. But I'm never in L.A. So it's like, I don't know how often I would try to do that. I'm thinking of being in L.A. a lot. Yeah? We had a day where there was a gas leak.

one of the venues and I wasn't able to perform there. Uh-oh. So we just had the day off. Yeah. And so I loaded every, we all got in the car and we drove up to Malibu. Okay. And I body surfed at Malibu. Yeah, yeah. Man, I would risk the fire. Yeah. That's how people

should live. You're getting sucked into these high end experiences. Yeah, I had a friend of the phone. I think you're very prone to overstimulation and wanting that. You're a lab rat in some ways. It's not expensive. But a very successful one. You just drive for 40 minutes. and you pay $25 for a bodyboarding.

I'm saying the area. I know the one experience, but I'm just saying it's the feel, it's the vibe, it's the people. I like money and people who have it. What minute are we? We got that out of James. 21 minutes.

21 minutes in. We'll cut the first bit. No, look, I, some people feel scared when they see people with money. They feel judged. They feel inadequate. I feel, I feel,

so adequate yeah no it's good you should I mean we're at stand-up comics so I don't we start with nothing so I don't

every every weekend is another gift another blessing I tell you the two places that I felt not judged

were West Virginia and the Hamptons I felt in both in both places are opposite really high and low of the income spectrum right

but people are just getting on with their own thing they don't have class you know they're both

secure in what their position is in society. They know who they are. They're in the place that they want to be. That is correct. And they will meet you on, on non, you know, there will be no anxiety about the meeting. Oh, you're in West Virginia? That's wonderful. Have you seen the place where you can play a slot machine and smoke a cigarette at 930 in the morning? Would you like to go, you want to go to the drive-thru? Yeah. Oh, you've been to a drive-thru alcohol place before. That's wonderful. You know, it's, aren't these mountains great? Isn't it? I He's going to the drive-thru with a cigarette. In both places.

You can look at people because they're both heaven. Yeah. West Virginia, famously, almost heaven. South Hamptons, very close, physically, naturally. And they're so above you, they don't give a shit either. They know it's beautiful. They know they're good. And they have a comfort in their heart.

It doesn't matter how much money they have. I think exterior beauty is good. And I'm sick of pretending that it's not. Rich people are fun to make fun of too. And they're usually good sports. they know they have so much wealth, it doesn't matter. And they almost like that you're pointing it out. I like the very, very rich and the very, very poor.

Yeah. They each have too many cars outside of their homes. They each know how to boat. Yes. They both probably have something to do with betting on animals that race. Here comes the be greyhounds or horses. Or, you know, Asians or whatever they're bedding on. They both feel very similarly about immigrants.

Yeah. And I was wondering if this is why the rich. talk some this is why the big hot button cultural issues because the rich can't get the poor on side by talking about what's actually happening in their lives yes you know but if you talk about something like immigrants or the abstract concept of freedom uh-huh that's something everybody

everybody loves freedom everybody loves some good old freedom little old freedom out of there yeah I love freedom because the poor people believe they have the same amount as the rich people and in a sense they do I mean, again, in an abstract sense, what you just said, yeah, but like, I mean, financial freedom, probably not. But if you just say freedom, they're on board. They're good with that. Freedom is in the heart.

There's a vibe of freedom. And that's what the Constitution is trying to guarantee. And everything else is just a mechanism to help people feel free for the flourishing of the union. They don't have to actually be free. Just need them to feel free. Absolutely. Yeah. But feeling free is.

freedom. I come from a country that is on paper free. This is what the founding fathers talked about. Australia doesn't feel free. Yeah. Doesn't have a free vibe. Something like when you're driving, you're afraid that the cameras will get you going one mile over the speed and you're saying you were fine. And there's a nervousness. There's, there's a thousand things like that where you just go, ah, I don't feel like I feel like I'm being watched. Yeah. Whereas here I never, hello brother. Get on in. Get on in. Whoa. Big time friend of the podcast here. Big time.

Podcast friend. This guy looks like me. Get on in. And then Josh kind of looks like the charmander version of you. Like if he used to evolve. That's true. If he used to evolve. We're going to be subbed out right now.

It's like Bill and Ted going to another alternate universe. You're both doing the podcast now. You guys are on the pod now. Sit down. Yeah. And if you talk about freedom and class in America. We're talking about the feeling of freedom in America. That's what we're talking about.

Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll take a break. The Freedom in America. Yeah, so we can, right now, this is the Friendly Fire podcast. Yeah, I would just like to promote myself. Yeah, I kind of just want to talk about the dates and... This is Matt Ross, this is Josh Francis. And freedom in America. I, you know...

I think America's pretty free. America fucking rules. People will yap too much about how... Lately people have been yapping too much. And it's like, yeah, if my aunt wants to go on Facebook and she wants to share a photo of Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, and Charlie Kirk and Jesus and say they all died for words. That's freedom. That's freedom. Is that not freedom? It's her right. It's her right to go on there and go.

I think that these people are equal. She should, she deserves the right to go. I think that these people are all equivalent. I mean, truly, is it not freedom for my dad to hold me hostage on the phone for an hour talking about the problematic condition of AI and then an hour later send me an AI generated Facebook reel of Toby Keith. Toby. And there we go. And that's freedom. Thank you for having us. Enjoy your beers.
