Jeep is a registered trademark of FCA, U.S. LLC. Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the Big Thing. It's Monday, you filthy rats, and it is going to be a fun show. We're going to talk about, I'm curious if Brett and Kate have watched Dune. I can tell you the answer is probably no. I will also be talking about the House of Gucci. That's right. House of Gucci. It's the new trailer, really Scott. Lady Gaga. Adam Driver, Al Pacino. So tons of the stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:02 And then we're also going to talk about Kate and I did stand up together on the same show. I think in, shoot, 15 years or so, something like that. So we'll talk about that. But that's myself. That's me, myself and I. And Brett and Kate are also here, which is going to be interesting. So please join us. It's going to be fun.
Starting point is 00:01:22 So what are you doing with yourselves? Are you watching the show? You're listening to the show? That's wonderful to hear. I'm happy to hear it. Oh, I did all that. I have to stop engineering by myself, I realize. Why?
Starting point is 00:01:32 Because I just can't handle it. I'm really tired of it. I do it all the time. But I figured out how to white balance. I right balance my camera. And it was like I just won a lottery. Figured that out. This thing was like gold.
Starting point is 00:01:58 You know what? I don't need Brett. I'm not calling Brett to do this. I'm doing it myself. I figured it out. Look, they are. Look at these cats. They host a show on SEM Live.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Oh, no, it's on the Patreon, I think. Yes. What's your show called? It's called, we actually just recently changed the name. Yes. It did the big thing. Did it change it to the big thing. Good.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Well, it's good to have you. Sweetheart! Well, there's a lot of talk. How's it Gucci? Well, let's just get into it. We just watched the trailer. Yeah. Bread hated it.
Starting point is 00:02:31 And um... Didn't hate it. Just, I felt a little over, over the top. Well, that's weird. You said you didn't hate it
Starting point is 00:02:39 because like during it, you're like, I hate this movie. Yeah. You said, your lady Gaga's filth, I think is what you said. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:02:45 well, no, I said I hated the people in it, like, like as humans. Right. But the film, uh, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:02:51 Ridley Scott is doing this one. I think so there was one thing I agreed with, I think you said, like, like, you could clearly see that Jared Lotto was in makeup.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Like it doesn't, it, even if I didn't know, Like when you look at the Batman trailer, Colin Farrell like disappears. That's insane. Like he disappears. Like that looks like a different person.
Starting point is 00:03:09 This looks like someone in a costume. Yes. But I think the trailer looks awesome. I think it looks awesome. And the Ridley Sky, it looks like a gangster movie. It 100% looks like a movie Al Pacino should be. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:21 They found, and he got him to yell. You got one signature yell. Hey, what? You scream, whatever he's saying. It's like,
Starting point is 00:03:27 you're telling me, a woman wants to run my show. Not going to happen. No way. No broads, Gucci. No broads. You're going to put on a hat. Yeah, not going to put it on if a broad made.
Starting point is 00:03:42 No way. Uh-uh. Not on my watch. Shut it down. I don't even think women are going to like Gucci. Wait, no, that's actually not true. That's definitely giving bad guesses. I had no idea that because Kate said it too.
Starting point is 00:03:56 She's like, because we started thinking of Versace. I was, yeah, I was an idiot. I was like. No, no, no, this is the, oh, this is the American crime story was about this. You're not an idiot, though, because, like, I had no idea that also Gucci had something to do when there was, apparently they're trying to take out Pacino and it's full on gangster show. I didn't know anything. I don't know anything about it. I don't really want to know any more about it.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I thought about for a second, Googling it and doing the wiki and reading it. I'm like, no, I want to go into it just kind of fresh and say. Yeah, I think you're confused because they're just both really cheesy, ugly clothing. Well, you and where? Now, Tom Dagnino doesn't go to the movies much. Yeah. Does he have to go to this movie? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Yeah. But yeah, I mean, head to toe Gucci. He has to be 100% he has to go. I think I have to take him to the screen. I actually asked you when you're like, did you see the Gucci trailer before you showed his best? And I was like, isn't, like, I literally thought I was like, what did Dagnino do now? I thought like he had. Why isn't he here?
Starting point is 00:04:54 Why isn't he here? I think I have to put him on, I have to take him to the screening with me and have to put him in the review. No question. I think so. I don't, we should probably get him here now. I'm going to call him and ask if he's watched the trailer.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see. Do you think he's watched the trailer? What's our bet that he's watched the trailer? Oh,
Starting point is 00:05:12 100%. You think he has? I'm going to go just to be controversial. I'm going to say he is not watched the trailer. He's had to have been tweeted at and called and text about this. I'm going to ask him. Sometimes he doesn't pick up, though. So you never know with him.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I know. Is it too early on a Monday for him? It could be. Oh, wait. Oh, here he is. Hey, hey, you're on the air right now. What air? The big thing.
Starting point is 00:05:36 You're on the big thing. Oh, that air. Yeah, that air. Hey, so we're having a conversation. Don't say yes or no yet, but we're, we watched the, uh, today we watch the house of Gucci trailer. And, and what I said was that I guess I kind of have to take you to that screening. Oh, yeah. That would be, obviously.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Yeah. That needs to be done. That needs to be done. I mean, I'm in the movie, too, so I have a bit part in it. But, but. I think they're going to leave me off the guest list. Yeah, I don't think that's true at all. All right, so let me answer your question.
Starting point is 00:06:05 So did you watch this trailer? Yeah, it's the best movie of the year. It's the best movie of the year. Oh, I lost the bet. I only need to see it. I heard from people. Lady Gaga is a personal friend of mine. Yeah, is that true?
Starting point is 00:06:17 Who's a real personal friend? We call her Stephanie. Is that true? Well, it could be. Have you, what did you see in her grocery store once? No, I worked with her. I'm a Starzborn. Would you really work with her?
Starting point is 00:06:32 Sorry at Echo Park. Yeah, that's what I thought you. Sorry at Echo Park. Starbucks. Yeah, sorry at Starbucks. So, okay, so now, this is a movie. Now, would you, now, if I wasn't taking you to the screening of this movie, would you see this movie?
Starting point is 00:06:44 Absolutely. You would? This is a movie. Not in theaters. Not in theaters. Oh, you wouldn't. That's, well, so if I go to the screening, though, would you go to the screening? Screening, I will go to, because that's not technically a theater.
Starting point is 00:06:57 That's, like, screening. I'll never pay for another movie again. I hear what you're saying. So you refuse to be part of the system. A dude that didn't get vaccinated for the last. I'm off the system. You're off the system. I'm off the system. There's no system anymore.
Starting point is 00:07:10 You're your own system and a different system that's not the system. Right. That makes sense. A star is born, maybe. All right. Well, I just want to... That's the way I'm operating. Oh, I want to go to this thing. I'll trust in full Gucci, obviously.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Yes. It's done everybody there. Of course. Now, do you know anything about the story? Yeah, that's what I was going to ask if you knew about these murders. Yeah. There's murder, there's sex, there's espionage, there's everything. It's your life.
Starting point is 00:07:32 And it's real. Pretty much. Yeah, so this is, is this your most anticipated movie of the year? That and the new Rocky Drago. Oh, yeah, right, which makes sense. Those two. Yeah, I'll try to get a screening for that one, too. Yeah, that's what I want to go to.
Starting point is 00:07:48 All right. I'll call it Frank. What do you have, you got, what do you have gas right now? No, no, no, I'll call Frank. Oh, all right. All right, I'll talk to it. I love that dude. I hate to say I love that dude.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I know. It's possible not, so he's been stealing the airwaves since, what air? What air? Since, yeah, 2012. It's 2012. My fucker's been on this network for almost 10 years. I gotta tell you, being, like, opposite him in a Shmowdown match, like as a manager, he's my least favorite, least favorite manager to go up against iTunes.
Starting point is 00:08:28 I just talk Just talk faster Just stop Just talk faster But here's the beauty Here's the beauty of next season You're going to have to worry about that Because it's just in the studio
Starting point is 00:08:40 So you want to listen to them But like He's just like So here's the deal What we have going on here is Perfection And what they don't realize is And when you spin that wheel
Starting point is 00:08:53 It's going to spin And it's going to land Just talk fast And it's probably going to get a few questions. You might know. Or you might not. I say we go. I loved when I first started Schmoz.
Starting point is 00:09:12 I was like, this cat leans into the mic and then talks even. Like that, right, right? He'll be in the big up over here, but then. Do you guys know? Do you understand? But he's, then you hang out with him in real life. I hung out with him at Barney's one day.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Like maybe. after your last show at Flachers. Yeah, yeah. I spent the whole Comic-Con with my only one and only Comic-Con. He's the best, he's the best wing man in the universe. And suddenly I was like, and then I met his girlfriend. I was like, I get why you're with, like, I get it now. Like, I just thought he was like a weird character actor.
Starting point is 00:09:49 I mean, but the thing is, but he is, he is that the way, who you see on screen is him in real life. Yeah. But it works in real life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He brings it up. It really does. But he's excited for this movie, as am I.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Ridley Scott, like, to me, has been over the last 10, 15 years has been hit or missed. There's certain movies that it works, certain movies that do not. Certain movies kind of, what I fear with this movie is that it's going to be like the trailer looks really exciting and over the top, as you were saying. But in reality, it's like a slow burn. I don't mind slow burns, but not when, not when I'm tricked, you know? So it's a half hour of sewing some good. Right. That's all it is.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah. It's Kylo Ranga standing in the back watching. You're doing it too slow. Yeah. I thought Lady Gaga was. Who broke the searcher? Who broke her to search her? I thought Lady Gaga look good in it though.
Starting point is 00:10:47 She does look good. Yeah. Yeah. You touched her over the time. Oh, no. Again, these people probably were over the time. I don't know it. I've never seen a Gucci talk on film.
Starting point is 00:10:58 This is, I think. of the problem. I do wish this wasn't, we all know we can watch Squid Game now and everybody can read, but everybody can read subtitles now. There's some part of me that's like, I do think the thing that feels inauthentic about it is the fact that all of these people are talking with Italian accent. And it's sort of like, and I'm like, you just would be fucking speaking Italian is what you would be doing. Yeah, no, I know. I know. That's, that's always been the problem, you know, right? A lot of movies is still why Kevin Kostern talked like he was from Milwaukee in Robin Hood. Prince of Vance.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But either way, I'm pretty excited for this movie. There's a lot of stuff that's coming out. Still that I want to see this Matrix, obviously. We've got to do that rewatching part of the rewatch series. We're doing the Spider-Man rewatch series right now. Coming up to, man, I'm so curious. At this point, when this comes out, our Force Awakens rewatch would have come out.
Starting point is 00:11:53 The Louisiana Swamplands. Out here, you're either lunch or you're enjoying it. Make sure you end up on top with the all-powerful lineup of Kia SUVs, like the telluride, Sportage, and Sorrenta, equipped with available all-wheel drive, higher ground clearance, and the interior capacity to bring everything you need. So you'll always remain more than a gator's length ahead. Visit your local Kia dealer today to find your next adventure
Starting point is 00:12:15 in our ever-capable lineup of SUVs. Kia, movement that inspires. Call 800-334-4-Kia for details. Always drive safely. And I think people are going to read that or listen to that and feel the wrong way. Okay. Because we definitely were not, it wasn't like we weren't being positive on that movie,
Starting point is 00:12:34 but we were more so being bummed out about what comes after it, like in general. You can't just see Force Awakens without knowing last Jedi. It was the first time I had watched Force Awakens since Rise of Skywalker. And as you're watching that movie again, there's just so much wasted potential in everything that they set up in that movie. That was just that's really what the point of the conversation was. And I can see where people are getting tired of that in the rewatch. But it just, it's, and if they think that's bad, we're doing Last Jedi this week. And you got Mark Riley coming on.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Thank God to be able to be a defender of it. Did you guys get a chance to watch Dune? You know, it's funny. I'm not going to watch it. Why? I'm going to watch it in the theater. And not only am I going to get it, I think I might even go to Universal and see it in IMAX. I'm supposed to see it.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Yeah, I don't. And I think it could be good anywhere, but I actually just, I get it. You know what I mean? I'm just like, this is one that's so beautiful that I really want to be immersed. So what I did, I did watch it back here, but I put subtitles on it and it helps tremendously. Okay. That's the only thing. So what I would do is, it's what do you, what I'm curious, because I don't know how much you've talked about it on an S&Live yet, June.
Starting point is 00:13:42 I didn't, no. What do you? I hosted SETN live and we didn't talk about that. It's fine. What do you're doing? How'd you do? It was good. No, it was great.
Starting point is 00:13:52 What did you expect from this movie? I'm curious because then I can tell you whether or not you should. should see it in theater or not. What do you expect? I'm expecting a sort of epic game of throne, Star Wars, like just not to use a word repeatedly, but epic is what I'm imagining.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Just like this sort of space adventure, like adventure meets like the Dothraki. You know what I mean? So a lot of that is true. I've got a guess too. Yeah. I'm guessing a lot of talking. Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:23 That's what I'm. Oh, it's a lot of talking. Yes. So this is a, this is not Star Wars in. There's not a lot of action. Not in this one. Part two there will be. This is, when you say Game of Thrones,
Starting point is 00:14:34 yeah, very, it's, it's Game of Thrones, it's Shakespearean, it's got that type of stuff where it, it's beautiful, it's, like the characters are set up very well. I loved this movie. Yeah. Absolutely loved it. It's a lot of set up into part two, right? But it, but it's establishing what Game of Thrones does,
Starting point is 00:14:52 the houses, the politics, the reasons, the idea. It's just a lot of like hearing the story. swords clang around while they walk. Yeah, I mean, there's some, there's some big moments for sure, but it's, it's the journey of Paul Atreides, who is, Paul from House of Trades, I should say. And he's, that's Timothy Chalamee. Yes. And it's him understanding.
Starting point is 00:15:12 You can see where. It's his journey to get a nose ring. Yes. And this movie was based off of, this is, this is a book that Star Wars was then based off of, right? He talked about this with Riley when the, he was on big thing with. Sorry, not you. Oh, it wasn't me?
Starting point is 00:15:27 No, no, no. But talking about how excited he was when we saw the trailer. Yes. And we were all like, oh my God, this is my most anticipated movie of the year, which is why I, in Halloween week, I have not a chance to go see it. So you need to go in, like talking about slow burns, right? This is a slow burn that I like. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Because this is a slow burn that it's setting up, but you, this is not one, though, not that you would take your kids to this one because you can't. It's PG-13, but still, no. No. This is one where you, if you got to piss, piss right before it starts. Okay, okay. Like, you got a, you guys 240? Well, maybe I do watch it at home then.
Starting point is 00:16:02 It's about 2.30, 240, like lock in. Okay. But visually, it's, like, I do want to see it on the big screen, but I just don't know if I can get it. And the problem was I saw it eternal's the night before. Okay. And then trying to get out two nights in a row to try to do it was just not worth it. So I was like, so I just turned off the lights. I put the TV on.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I have a good surround system. so then I watched it there and it worked pretty well because the sound design and all that. But if you can get to IMAX, you should definitely see it, but you've got to lock in. Okay. And you got to watch it.
Starting point is 00:16:31 It's a really, like, it's a kind of deep thought movie, and I love it about that. I will say I have definitely had a problem in my elder years here of going to a movie and having a little honk shoe. So maybe I. Oh, you got a piss you?
Starting point is 00:16:46 No, honkshoe, honk shoe, honk shoe, honch. Yeah. Well, then go earlier. I know. Like in a dark theater. and it's cozy and you're a little cold and now those seats are like like you get to put the feet up
Starting point is 00:16:59 you don't have that there? No because while I haven't gone to, Eternal's was the first movie I went to in like two years right, the first year I went to and have you been back? I haven't. You haven't either right? I would have thought you would have been back before that.
Starting point is 00:17:14 I thought you went to other stuff but I guess you were watching them from home. There were other ones that I had seen from home and then once I got invited to Shang-Chi. and I really wanted to see that and I didn't go and everybody was kind of reviewing it and movies that I really wanted to see I don't give a shit about certain movies I don't want to see
Starting point is 00:17:31 and people are reviewing where but like movies I want to see and I was like I missed that one and I probably could have gotten out to the theater to see it and then I said to myself that Eternals had the same type of feel Eternal's is like similar in scale to Dune not as it's it's definitely more deeper than a lot of the other Marvel movies in my opinion but not as deep as June.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Okay. Like, June is, Dune is a totally different animal. I think Dune's one of the best movies of the year, for sure. That's what I was going to say. How does it, I mean,
Starting point is 00:18:00 I can't, I can't name another movie that came out this year, but how does it stack up for you? Oh, suicide squad came out. Oh, the suicide squad. Different movies, completely.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Yeah. Completely different. I had great experiences with both, but in very different ways. This, I just, I was, so screenings are probably packed out, right?
Starting point is 00:18:17 This one wasn't that one. Well, no, no, when we got there, it wasn't, It wasn't, but then it packed up. Is that why you were kind of hesitant? Because, I mean, this is what I feel like.
Starting point is 00:18:26 I feel like you would have been back earlier if, you know, you're not going to go pay for a movie that you can go see it for free. Right. But so you, because you could go during the day and have three people in the audience and you probably be more comfortable going. But it's the fact that these screenings are free and you can go to. It's that. It's also because, you know, the other reason is where, like, I said that my thing is,
Starting point is 00:18:47 if I get a chance to see a movie and I, because we're building out the channel, The channel's been going great. Thank you everybody who's been subscribing. I don't know if we're at 20K by the time this hits, but by the time of recording, we're close to 20,000 subscribers. And we're building this thing out. And trying to build it out.
Starting point is 00:19:02 And like, and what I realized, what the fans and listening to the audience and listening to any polls that I put on Facebook or anything to is that they, hearing us talk pop culture, hearing movies, like that's what they want to talk about,
Starting point is 00:19:15 but also on the stuff we want to talk about, right? So like I said, I don't want to, if there's a movie coming out, give a shit about, I don't want to review it. But if there's a movie I want to see, then I'll go check it out and I'll get to the theater to see it. And maybe, and like knowing that if people are like, well, there's a bunch of thoughts coming out and would love to hear yours, if that's something you're interested in doing
Starting point is 00:19:32 and I was interested in doing it. So like, so Matrix will be another one of those things. Spider-Man will be another one of those things. West Side Story would be one of those things. I'm curious about West Side Story. And this would be one of those things, right? So like I would try to get to those screenings to see it, put it out there and let people know what I thought of it. But, but yeah, I don't want to do. just beat the trend to say, like, oh, there's a movie that I don't really give a crap about, but everybody's going to be talking about it, so I need to go see it. You know, I may, will I do that eventually?
Starting point is 00:20:00 I don't know, but right now, I'm in the mood. I buy out the whole theater. I every showing for that day, and that's how I see everything, because I support theaters. And I want, you know, I'm not one of these people that sits at home. It sits at home, watches on the big screen. Yeah, what a piece of shit. I know, I am. Pieces of shit.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah, I make sure I post it on my Instagram that I bought out an entire theater. Yeah, yeah. That's what you need to do. In the Heights. Did you do In the Heights? No. I don't know why I didn't. I felt like in the Heights was a step backward from Hamilton because I feel like Hamilton,
Starting point is 00:20:33 in the Heights was like an underground success, you know, on. On some stage. Yeah, yeah. And then Hamilton was so great. I felt like I'd expect something like that. And maybe, I don't know. Well, that movie, that movie, I probably like it. There's such, there's such, the math behind it is so interesting when you look.
Starting point is 00:20:50 look at that movie, Cry Macho, there are a few other movies that bombed for in the theater and then also bombed on HBO Max. Yeah. Do you know there's one movie that bombed in the theater that crushed on HBO Max? Can you guess it? Yes, it just, it was recent.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Yeah. It was. Oh, God, I know it. It wasn't been carnage. It was, it was, it was not carnage, but. God. It's not playing along. Scoop.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Scoops. Scoop. Scoop. Scoop. No. God, you weren't even saying, I'm going to be mad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Can you guys guess what it is? Yes. What do you think? What do you think it is? It just came out. We literally just came about it. We talked about it on the show. It,
Starting point is 00:21:41 is it a Marvel property. It's a DC property. It's a DC property. What do you think it is? Is it, are you farting? These are two people who have never seen the surprise. Many Saints.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Oh, that's right. Oh, yeah. I was doing my move. I knew it. Yeah, that one, that one killed. That one killed. Because what exactly
Starting point is 00:22:00 what happened inside of that, which is we've talked about many times on the show. But we had a discussion where I was singing from the hills, please, David Chase. Why is this movie? Why is it a movie?
Starting point is 00:22:12 It doesn't make sense to be a movie. Why is it a movie? It should be a miniseries. People knew the Sopranos from television, but he's adamant movie. movie, movie. He was on the Talking Sopranos show saying, and they asked him,
Starting point is 00:22:24 he said, if this movie does well, would you want to do a miniseries? Like, no, not doing a series. He was not doing a series. He was not doing a series. He's like, but movies,
Starting point is 00:22:31 I'll do movies. The movie ate a pile of dicks, right? As far as the in theater. Yeah, but crushed on HBO Max. So HBO Max had to, and his agents called him in and go, dude,
Starting point is 00:22:43 you got to listen to us. Listen to Christian Harlow. Will you? This is, I was not the only person saying. And and the thing, what you, you could hear it if you were a fly on the wall. And they probably said, hey, this movie on ratings alone tripled a lot of the HBO releases that we put out there if we did 10 of these fucking things as a series. And then you would have time and you would make
Starting point is 00:23:13 so much more money if you did this. And then the guy who said, he also did say and to, to quote him, he goes, I also say never, never say never. Okay. Because now he's negotiating for a miniseries. Yeah, that news came out pretty quick right after the number. Because they dumped a truck full of cash and said, dude, write the series and stop with the movies. No one wants to see the movies.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Everybody wants to see the series. She likes the movie. I liked the movie. You like getting paid in gold bars, sir. And that's what it is. I think he's a numbers guy too. When they plopped down the number, I said, look at what this movie did. That's a movie.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Imagine now, and now, because the other thing, the biggest guy, I just talked to Mike Kalinowski who saw it and he said his biggest complaint was it was that it wasn't a Tony Suprano movie and that's what they, and that's what they marketed it as. And my response to that was David Chase was actually upset that the first trailer was marketed that way because he said he made it clear to HBO. That's not what this movie is. Although I would argue against that.
Starting point is 00:24:12 But still, but still the fact the name of the movie is Many Saints in Newark. Many Saints means Maltesanti. It's about Maltesanti in general. That's that is set up. Isn't the key art, doesn't the key art have like who made the man? Yeah. And he did. That's part of it.
Starting point is 00:24:28 But the other thing is how Tony Sparano became Tony Sopranom, the movie itself, when you look at the overall arc of it, right? It is about how Tony Soprano was born as a comm officer. It really is. But now that you knew that that was the main hype, why most people wanted to see this. Now that that is actually what the miniseries is going to be about. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Yeah, man. And it was everybody that was rewatching it at home and knew they could get it free for home. And yeah, they'd rewatch the series again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's strange how money changes people's minds. I just remember. Personally, I would have been like, no, I am an artist. I'm sorry, what?
Starting point is 00:25:09 Exactly. Here's the briefcase. Tell them we're going to give him this. Okay, yeah, I'll do it. That's probably how fast it was. Hey, Brett, would you ever shave your head to play a character with a tuft of hair? Did you ever do that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Cool. Would you? Because I feel like you probably would need me to back a truckload of money. Back a truckload of money. Soggy miff. Mini muffins donate $75. Done. Done.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Anyway. So yeah. So that's another thing. That's the success of the streaming and the ideas of it. I knew that. Yeah. It's all right. And then there's other things.
Starting point is 00:25:44 I also knew that. But I was really on like a Marvel DC train. Well, let's talk about stand up. Come on, girl. Yeah. Dude. You had so much fun. I had so much fun, but I also, when you just said that, I'm like, we have done shows.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Yeah. When? No, we didn't. Because you saw me in New York. I saw you in New York. And I saw you in Burbank and then, you know, like a little. I mean, it's just wild. So for those people who know or don't know, Kate and I were on the same show on.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Wednesday. Christian got me on the show. He was being humble about that. Well, Jake Lewis, Jake Lewis is great. He's great. Him and his brother, very creative, follow the Lewis brothers, sketch comedy. because they also wrote and, well, Jay, I think Jake, maybe his brother to do. He wrote and directed the Robin talk that Jamie was in.
Starting point is 00:26:28 But Jake is just a sweetheart of an individual, really good guy. And then, you know, he'd asked me, he said, do I got, you have two spots open for the show. And I recommended, sorry, but Kate and, and Ken at the time, because we're just in New York. Well, you didn't, you didn't want to get the, I'm not ready. Yeah. I honestly thought I might. So I was like, I just got, because Ken, Ken's been working on his stuff. So something.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Yeah. But then I knew Kate was like five seconds away from Burbank as well And also been looking and we've been working together trying to get stuff up And she was you were really you were in the pocket you could tell because I was worried because I left late Yeah and I just got there I was actually so worried you were gonna miss my son I saw I saw the whole thing Yeah I was I was worried for Kate because she ran some bits by me And they were terrible Did you? No I was trying on bright Kate's played it I tried to get a fix for one of the jokes did you fix it? Did you fix it? Did you
Starting point is 00:27:20 Ish. How did you feel? How did you feel up there? I wish, there's some part of me Christian that wished it had gone worse because now I've got the bug again. Yeah, I'm sure. Did you, did you buy your set? Did I buy the tape? Are you going to watch the tape back?
Starting point is 00:27:35 You can buy it? Yeah, I just bought my history. Are you serious? How do I do that? Oh, I'll go to a website. Oh, my God. I will absolutely do that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:42 No, I felt like it was, I feel like there's just, it's just something, it's something so different about writing stand up at this age where it's like, I'm, my. actually saying something I want to say. Whereas like when I was 20 something and I was like, you're just doing bits. Yeah, you're trying to like look around the world every day like, oh, is this a funny thing? That's like, this is like a lot now.
Starting point is 00:28:02 It's just like I actually felt like I had something to say. Yeah. For me it was just my attitude in life of how I brought up because I had posted on my Instagram, I guess on Friday, where I was doing the reaction to the light year trailer and and I just at the end of it like Brett, just the plan, have you heard any of it? I just got to play the end of it because you know me so well. I'm just going to play the end of this.
Starting point is 00:28:23 He showed up in a whole mood. And I was in a mood because of this. This is the kind of mood I was going into the set. Which was like a fun mood. You know me well. It reminded me of all school who there. Character, that's fun. I'm down.
Starting point is 00:28:37 What the hell else can I say? Hey, it looks good. What do you think? It looks like shit. Well, then you should tell me that. I'm sure some of you will. Sure some of you're going to go, Why do we need this?
Starting point is 00:28:50 Just a Disney machine. F them. And you might be right. I don't know. It looks good to me. I'm going to take my kids to see it. But you care. You don't have kids.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Maybe something you do. How the hell do I know? What I know about you. You know shit about me? I don't know shit about you. All I know is that I like this thing. That's right. So if you like this channel, go ahead and subscribe.
Starting point is 00:29:15 If you don't, well, then move on and find somebody else that you do. I'll shake hands and call it a day. Virtual hands. Who are we kidding? You're going to leave me some comment about how you want to put your balls on the keyboard and move on? Yeah, there it is. This is a nice reaction to a kid's kid's trailer. All right, everybody.
Starting point is 00:29:35 And that's how I ended the video. So I went into the set with that attitude. Yeah, yeah. So I already had all this stuff that I had worked on from New York and I had worked on from, you know, the first flapper. set. And the flapper, the first flapper set was like, hit all these bits, hit into the time, make sure that was the, that was the warm up for New York. That was the warm up for New York. And it was like hit all the time. Don't go over. Make sure you do this. This one, I went, if I get to that one, I get to that one. I'm just going to talk.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I'm going to throw this one in there. Like, I did the Eroscanpoil thing, which I haven't, like, and I had thrown that in there. People loved that. Yeah. And I threw that in there. And I threw that in there. And I hadn't done that in, like, a long time. So I was like, oh, let's try that. Let's try that. And then I did that. And then I messed around. I talked to the audience.
Starting point is 00:30:19 That was the thing. You were very, like, I was definitely probably more in the mindset of your first flapper set where I was like, got to hit my mark, got to do my bits, got to get the order. Because I definitely have like a, I'm either an improviser, like I'll do an improv show with you or I'm a stout. I have not figured out how to mesh the two because then if I improvised two, like I did. Improved a little bit. I did improv a little bit, but I feel like sometimes if I go too far, I then use my place.
Starting point is 00:30:47 And then I'm like, but I did not for the first time ever bring my set list up with me because of what happened in New York. Right. And so I just had to. You didn't need it. I didn't need it. No. It becomes a crutch when you have it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:02 And it was like, I remember like my friend once being like, I remember when she was having her baby. She was like, you know, they had offered me that they could put the port in me for the painkiller. in advance. She's like, no, because as soon as you've put that in, I will take it. Right. And that's the thing. As soon as I have a list up with me, I'll use it. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:20 So I had the will up there, obviously. Yeah, well, you need that. That's part of the bit. Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, that was, but you just walked up, you were just like, hey. Oh, what is? You were taught, I don't know if you knew this, but that was Robert Yamagati.
Starting point is 00:31:33 I knew. I didn't know it. I didn't know it until he Instagrammed me. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he sent me that he and his wife, Tony was way into you. She was like everything Christian said, she's like, that's me. That's me. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:45 And he said, he's like, my wife was relating to the kid stuff, right? And that's the stuff that I wanted to talk about and like the, and the, just the, the pandemic and going into the stuff you got to deal with with kids and back and forth and throwing some other things in there. And it was just fun. Yeah. And I think that was it. It was like, it was getting back to that just fun vibe. And then knowing, you know, just okay, this is the attitude that I'm into. I was talking with Mark.
Starting point is 00:32:07 And one of the things, too, is that I also, I knew you were going to be there. I knew Cam was going to be there, and I knew you guys were on this first show, and you were promoting pretty hard. Yeah, yeah. I had mentioned it on the show. I retweeted everything and promoted it that way. But my first show that I did at Flappers, I emailed, like, everybody told me my first one back. I didn't do that for this one. Because I wanted, because my two favorite sets that I've done since I've been back.
Starting point is 00:32:29 I was my fourth time doing stand-up in like a month and a half, right? Yeah, it's massive. So my favorite two that I've done so far was the one we just did at Flappers. Yeah. And the Thursday night show in New York. Now, if you were watching as an audience member, you'd probably say that the Friday show was the best one because it had such crazy laughter. But it was 95% Shmowdown S-E-N fans. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Thursday night when we went to New York, nobody really knew who we were. It was like maybe eight fans there, and the rest of it was all comedy club, and it was a really good set. Majority of people, there were a lot of your friends there. They didn't know who the hell I was. Right? And then there was a lot of people who didn't know, and I said to Mark, I kind of took, Mark's advice after the first night. And I was like, you know, I wanted to, because that's why I want to go back to the comedy
Starting point is 00:33:14 store more and do clubs like that, because that's when you really start to, you need those sets of having the people in there because it's like, okay, there's a little bit of a cushion, a little of practice, but there's still that, does my stuff just work with just me doing my thing, right? And that's why I felt the strongest that night. Yeah. What do you think would have been, if that would have flipped, if you would have done a, the shmowdown heavy audience the first night?
Starting point is 00:33:39 and the next night, which do you think would have, would go better? I think probably, I mean, it's probably, it would be somewhat similar because, yeah, because I would go in, because the thing is, I'm not, if I was younger,
Starting point is 00:33:53 then the opposite, because then I would be fooled. Yeah. Right. Like, like, man, this one's going to kill and then go into it. I was not fooled.
Starting point is 00:34:01 I was not fooled because sometimes, like, because I think that if I was younger on that Thursday night, and if I had the audience that I have, you know, that we have now, and at Thursday I'd be nervous. Like, oh, there's nobody here. I was, that had got me excited that there was nobody.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Because that reminded me just being back at the comedy store or being at a club. It's like, okay, you're just doing it or being at room five with someone who they don't know who you are. Totally. That to me is that's what, that's what we do. That's how, that's how you, the goal is to use, does your stuff work on, on people who don't know who you are? And when it was, and that's why I think the Thursday show in New York was so encouraging because I'm like, oh, this is work. This stuff is just where. I'm in my the way that I'm feeling right now is working like and it really felt like at flappers
Starting point is 00:34:43 really felt like it was working because I just felt like I was that if you if you guys watched that Pixar thing that I just played like that's how I went up on stage. Which is by the way I feel like the way he used to always go up right. I feel like I would be like like going off my bits and be like oh hey kay what's up and like you'd be like I roast come boy Like you were just always loose Like you were just not like I don't feel like You got nervous before doing stand-up
Starting point is 00:35:10 I wasn't nervous on When the hell was that Wednesday? I wasn't nervous at all No I know There's no nervous at all I just was like I definitely was nervous I was nervous but also like I was so excited to be doing it again
Starting point is 00:35:22 That I was just like I just hope it goes That's how I felt that's how I felt The first night of Flackers Yeah yeah Yeah but I also found something And I know this is like The moment like Ken unlocked He was like
Starting point is 00:35:33 should sit down to do stand. I found I and you can relate to this. I've shaky hands. Yeah. I just do like I have, it's called a familial tremor in my father. I think I have some sort of it. It doesn't look like it right now.
Starting point is 00:35:45 But when I get nervous, there's no question. I'm like, bradur, barter, and there was something about, I had the mic stand just to my left. And I just had my,
Starting point is 00:35:55 I was like a scarecrow. I just had my arm on that mic stand the whole time. And it was so grounding for me that I don't know. I'm sort of like, it's a weird thing to find, but I, like, felt really good. It's also sort of like a power stance of like, yeah, just hanging out. Well, you had, you were also the only woman on the show that night. Yes, which was, which was also. But you, but you were, no, you were great.
Starting point is 00:36:19 You were confident. You set the mood for, how was the guy before? He was great. I'm so, funny. So Danny was great. Danny was great. Danny was such a nice guy. He was great.
Starting point is 00:36:28 And I felt so bad. And I hope I didn't come up like a dick because I, because I, it wasn't what I was intending to do, but like at the end, he was a great set. You know, and I go, dude, I missed your set. I'm, you know, and I was like, I go, where's your name? I just, I didn't, I didn't want it to be like, I was like, you know, hey, man, sorry. You know, thanks for telling me how I said, it's good, but I didn't see yours. It was like, I didn't, like, I got there and I got caught in traffic and I didn't get there in time to go there because I wanted to see him because he was only
Starting point is 00:36:51 comedian on the bill I wasn't familiar with. Yeah. Super nice guy. Super. He was good. He was great. He was great. The whole, like the whole lineup was really, like my friends have said to me,
Starting point is 00:37:03 they're like, that whole thing, I think a lot of times when friends are like, you was going to ask you. Oh, we have to go to a stand-up show. And like, like sometimes, you know, in the past they'd be like, well, you were fine. Or like, we liked that one guy. They were like, this, from top to bottom, this was a great show. And I think people actually, I don't know, it's funny. I didn't realize, like, one of my friends that was there that night was like,
Starting point is 00:37:25 she's like, honest to God, the only person I would go to a state. stand-up show for I would ever go to a stand-up like or a comedy club for it would be you she's like so tell me where it is and when it is and like he's like people feel that way about comedy clubs I didn't know that oh okay I but my biggest loved she loved the whole show from top to bottom good every single yeah I mean it was and that's I mean yourself included was she's sitting in the center she was no she was yeah like she was sitting with the two gay guys my two friends she was right in no I saw I saw a woman that you're talking to at the end of the night who was sitting like right in the center oh and like she was just like chilling there by like first but like do you're like
Starting point is 00:37:58 Doing the audience arm, Ben, but she wasn't being like, she wasn't being like, you have to make me laugh. She was laughing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, the woman in the hijab. Yes. Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:08 She's a friend from the internet. Okay. She's this wonderful woman named Nishat who like, I, it's funny. We, my, my sister went to school with this television doctor now. This guy, Dr. Larry Burchett, who has been like on, I don't know, he's. The doctors? Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Something like that. Something like that. And I, he just had this woman. He just said the, he just had this podcast. I had to lay into him one day. I'm like, this is so in, you're fucking responsible. And she was like, hey, great work. And so she and I became friends.
Starting point is 00:38:43 And she like, lives out in Pasadena. She's like, I'm going to come to your show. Oh, that's the first time I met her was on. Oh, that's great. Yeah. So she was, she was laughing. She was a good time. So, yeah, it was a great.
Starting point is 00:38:53 It was a really fun crowd. Like, so that, that was the other difference. I think, not the flatbird was. the first night wasn't a fun crowd, but it was a Sunday night, and it started at 9 o'clock. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So people were going to work the next day. It was 9 o'clock. It was getting late.
Starting point is 00:39:05 This was a Wednesday night after work, like, but 8 o'clock at night. And the vibe was just very different. And Ellis, you heard the beginning of Alice. Ellis was like, Wednesday night, you guys need comedy, huh? You guys are the ones that are like, if you're a significant other says, like, you want to go see a comedy show this friend? No, I need the first one I get. I'm going to go see one tonight. I need it tonight.
Starting point is 00:39:27 And it was, no, it was a great vibe. It was a lot of fun. I want to see the side. I think I just kind of notice, I've never done this before doing it on air. Oh, I want to do, like, so I'll do this. You know, for people who know about cameo, so cameo is, you can request people. Oh, yeah. So if somebody requests me during, don't do it, don't, if you're watching this on a, on a, well, actually, you know what?
Starting point is 00:39:53 If you're watching this on Monday, request a cameo for me, and I'll wait and I'll do it on the air. tomorrow when I record it. I was wanted to do that. I've never done a cameo while on air. And then you can actually see it plus have. Yeah. Oh, that's fun.
Starting point is 00:40:06 I'm on there, but I want 15 grand apiece. 15 grand. You haven't got it. Not one yet. But when you do, you know, you're going to clean up.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Oh, money, money, money. Yeah. How much for somebody to get, um, your friends,
Starting point is 00:40:21 the flirt and flouse. See, I don't know. I thought about the, because you told me to get on there. And that's just another one of those things I'm like, this feels weird and I don't know. Brett.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Yeah. How much? She's going to be flirting. Well, I can't. How much would you do? I wish I would have done it when I had the hair. I think of a ton of them. If somebody, how much?
Starting point is 00:40:40 How much? A thousand to shave your head? Oh, to reshave and do them. Yeah. I'd do that for a grand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:48 I think you should do. For a grand. Well, listen. So I actually wanted, this is good to actually talk about here now. Well, there'll be, I don't know. if at this point it'll be official yet. But so in the beginning of the Shmodown season, we'd announce that, you know, with the shirts and the merch that we were going to do
Starting point is 00:41:08 is get to a certain place that once we did the profit, you get a percentage of profits. So it would go into the... So sold a good amount, but not enough for profit. So the prize pool for the winning faction at the moment, big fat zero. So... Goosey! But I had an idea when I thought I was going to do because I talked to the...
Starting point is 00:41:27 I kind of floated to the audience. I'm going to do a full stream, but I'm going to create like a GoFundMe for the, for the, you know, and all the money just goes straight to the winning faction. So.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Well, I'm not doing anything. You don't have to do anything for it. So, well, so basically what I'm going to do is I'm going to have a full stream of, of it and I'll have people on for Stream Yard and I'll do some stuff,
Starting point is 00:41:49 but I'm just going to drive everybody to the GoFund me. And then my goal, I mean, best case scenario, you get, you get like, you know, hell. Someone comes in, it's 100 grand.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Right. If not, 5, 10 grand. Still, good enough for a fun thing and I'll be run it all the way up to spectacular. So I'm going to be doing that. I'm going to be running and go fund me for the prize pool for the winning faction because they, you guys worked too hard. It was way too hard in everything as far as the factions and putting the work in and
Starting point is 00:42:22 doing all that. And depending on, and what I'll do is I'll write inside the tiers. If it gets a certain thing, then X will go to the first place team, X amount will go to second, and so on and so on. Every time it hits a certain amount, that's where it'll go so that way fans know exactly where it's going. You'll get 50 bucks. You're going to get a $0.45. Listen, I was going to say, is there any prize pool for factions who never, not once this entire season turned down a match? Is that true?
Starting point is 00:42:52 No, it's not true, actually. It is true. No, I remember one. We had to withdraw because of a personal reason. Oh, right. You're right. We never said no to a match. Oh, thank you.
Starting point is 00:43:04 You're welcome. I'll be darned. Brett, are you actually going to start doing stand-up again? Yeah, I mean, I think about it. It's a weird thing because even when I got really excited after Houston was my first one. And just to go off of what you said about being relaxed, Christian grabbed me after the first set. He goes, dude, put the fucking notes away.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Be yourself. You got your bits. And that second set, I destroyed it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So,
Starting point is 00:43:30 and then I was, like, hyped on it and talking to the fans and stuff, and then New York went really well. But then it was, it was like, it was a plane ride with, that I sat next to Ellis prior to that
Starting point is 00:43:41 and him talking about the process of, like, becoming like, you know, like to be a regular and stuff. I'm like, it's just, it's,
Starting point is 00:43:47 it's not in my cards. I don't think until the kids would maybe are gone for me to do, like, stand up, regularly, but I'd pop in shows. Well, that's the whole, that's the dilemma that I'm working through right now. Because like it's like, it is very hard to balance all of this stuff we're trying to get done with the new channel with Schmodeown for next season. And then going to screenings and then also trying to balance that out with doing stand-up.
Starting point is 00:44:13 It's like to understandably, you know, my wife is just like, now we're going back into comedy now too. All the other stuff. And it's like, it's a lot. But it does. It's also hard. you guys will understand. Like you I talk to about stand-up all the time. Like, so if I was to tell you how much it helps me for work to get back on
Starting point is 00:44:31 and the idea of being able to, and the communication and being quick and being on it, my wife doesn't see it as work. Yeah. You know, it's just, it's not work. I'm like, but it is work. All the stuff that I'm putting into it and leading into it, it is work.
Starting point is 00:44:43 I think that's the thing that I'm sort of struggling with it, just like, what's the end game? Because like when you're 26 and you're like, well, it's because I'm going to be a stand-up comedian. Exactly. But like now it's sort of like, no, no, I'm just trying to fill my cup. And it's sharpening tools. It's sharpening tools.
Starting point is 00:44:56 And it's like, and you said to me afterwards, you're like, I think being on air helps your stand up even. I'm like, yeah, they're scratching each other's backs right now. 100%. It certainly helped me. And I was up there, like, even talking. Because it was funny enough, it was Robert and his wife that I was talking to and didn't even realize that.
Starting point is 00:45:11 And but I just felt like I was just at that point for that particular set. Because the other sets, I wasn't, I mean, I kind of reached over to the audience for a second and asked a question, but not really getting into it the way that I used to at room five and I just like I like that. That's what I do and that's what I would do here. If people were here and ask them and talking them about it and kind of moving on, and they're relating it to the bits. And always that's what the good comedians do.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Right. They take a bit that they've worked on for years and then they find a way as they're talking to the audience to then turn that. Oh, yeah, that bit. So let's say you weren't planning on doing a bit that night. Yeah. You start talking to an audience. Let's say you've got a bit about, you know, accounting. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:52 It's really funny. And it crushes, right? Yeah. When you start talking to a guy in the front of really, what do you do? I'm an accountant, boom. And then you just go into it. And then it looks like you improv.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Here's the thing about doctors, you guys. Here's the thing about doctors. They stick a finger in your ass. Speaking of fingers in the ass. I got to be honest. I didn't, I didn't ever love doing it. Stand up? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:17 It was always kind of, it gave me more anxiety. Yeah. And the outcome was, You're more sketch. Yeah, that's why I love sketches because, you know, it was more. And I was the opposite. Yeah. I was the exact opposite.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Like I was just said to my wife the other day, I was like, I just feel, even though this is a lot of fun and I stand by the fact that like the big thing is easily my favorite podcast I've ever done. There's no doubt about it. And there's no disrespect to anybody on that I've ever did with Chimauda or Live or anything too. But like I don't have restraints. I don't have any conversation goes where it goes.
Starting point is 00:46:51 we have good, it's comfortable. Like that's why I enjoy doing this show so much. However, and you still got to rely on people. You still got to rely on the topics that are coming in and stand up. You just rely on yourself. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Right? And if you have a bad day at work, it's because you had a bad day at work. You can't blame. And when I was younger, you blame the crowd. And sometimes you still say, well,
Starting point is 00:47:15 that crowd wasn't into it. Yeah, you can always find a way. You can always find a way and navigate it. So. It's funny. I actually feel like I'm seeing it out of Ellis now, too. But I remember thinking Jamie Kaler and Christalia back in the day never had a bad set because in their minds there was no such thing as a bad crowd.
Starting point is 00:47:37 And they're just like, well, I'm just going to win this crowd. Yeah, and if you don't have a good day of work, and you don't have a good day of work. And I just, Mark Ellis, I feel like he, I've, in the however many times I've seen him in the past couple of years, I've never seen him. he he honestly he like took out an AK at that show on Wednesday and murk I mean and in his head you know not for that particular set but in head in his head he'll probably say to you yeah I didn't feel like I got when I saw him at the store one night he was just kind of like yeah I didn't probably put the prep into that I thought and he had a great set right the one that we saw him when saw was oh yeah but he but he's like yeah because he and in him he's probably like yeah I could
Starting point is 00:48:16 have probably done this this this and then that but it's the way that he's talking to the audience and the laid back stuff because he's out there. And that was what really part of it was the inspiration of it of getting back in there was that I didn't like. One of the things I didn't like, and that was whether it's an ego thing or not, but like when we were starting Schmo's No, and we would start to do stuff, he was always known as the stand-up comedian. Yeah. And I was just known as the guy that either, you know, started the show or did or did this. It was the business guy or, you know, and no, whenever. And that was my, that was my life was stand-up comedy.
Starting point is 00:48:47 And so that was an ego thing of just like, well, what the fuck do you? expect. This guy's at the comedy store seven nights a week, what you used to do, and you don't do it anymore. So it's not on anybody. That's what I, a lot of times, like, and we had a mutual friend, I'm not going to mention the person's name, that would always blame someone else and go, that person, how does that person have a show? And I don't. How come this having, and I don't, I don't have this. I'm funny. How come I don't have that? That is a sure way to be failing. Yeah. Because I have certainly been in a position of like, well, wait a minute. that person does this and that's and that I'm like yeah but I'm clearly not doing something right
Starting point is 00:49:25 and it's just well you don't have all you don't have good luck well maybe so but there's got to be a way to know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody that's what it's always about but it's also a matter of like going back to that whole conversation of like the stand-up comedy right it's like yeah well why don't they say that you're why don't they associate with stand-up she don't fucking do stand-in them anymore you decided not to do it anymore you decided to do um you know become a pundit on YouTube and do all that shit. So fuck you. So, but, you know, but as a human being, you always go, well, blah, blah, blah. And, but it inspired me back because when, what, the thing that really started to eat at me was that because watching someone like, like Mark, right, like he, he's always on stage and he's, when he's
Starting point is 00:50:06 on air, he's just sharp. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Because he's up, he's up on stage and he's consistently working with audiences moving and he's just, that's what he does. Effortless. And I said to myself, I'm like, I, there was one time when everybody was on, And people were hitting jokes, and my mind wasn't moving. Yep. And I'm like, I know that feeling. And I said, I said, I have it with you all the time. But it's happening and you go, that's not, but I don't do that.
Starting point is 00:50:31 I don't just, like, I can't, like, I can't, I can't figure it's not registering. And I'm, you know, you're getting old too, but still, it's a matter of no. And then since I've been writing, and honestly, even before it was performing, because I started writing about a year ago, that's when I felt I was getting sharper and moving because I was looking at things differently, and I wasn't just saying, okay, well, I'm going to go on and I'm going to talk about who's in this and who's in that
Starting point is 00:50:54 and less worrying about, like, what people think and that kind of stuff, because that's why going back to that freaking Buzz Lightyear thing. Yeah. And I was just, as I'm going at the end, I remember how that train of thought started. And I'm just like, oh, I can already see some fucking guy on the thing going, oh, here he has again.
Starting point is 00:51:15 There's a Disney trailer and he likes it. And I'm going, in my head, I'm going, what is this fucking guy doing with themselves? Stinking up his living room and his, in his, you know, in his, in his, in his menion shorts, right? And he's, and he's just sitting there stinking up his whole garage. And he's writing this thing to me. And I'm going, in my head, I just see the guy. And I'm like, hey, what are you doing right now?
Starting point is 00:51:39 I'm like, just talking to that guy. And I'm like, and in my head, I'm going, during that moment, there was a big sign in my land that said, I don't give a fuck. Like I'm so over it. I was just over it. I was just over it. I just like, hey, you don't know me. You're going to think that you do.
Starting point is 00:51:56 You don't have kids. No. And like most of people, most of people commenting, because that's what I was thinking in my head. I'm going, you who's commenting saying this now, you don't have any kids. And then in my head, I'm like, well, there's some people who do. Well, maybe you do. But you don't know me. I don't know you.
Starting point is 00:52:10 And the whole thing. And I'm just like, that's like, and then I went up with that attitude. And I was like, that's the way I just got to. approach life right now. Yeah. Yeah. Because everybody, there's always, my dad said it is like, about people in general. There's always people. That's all people want to do is doubt you. Yeah. That's all they want to do. And you got to, you got to turn it around. You know what I also realized? About balls on keyboards? I didn't even tell you balls and keyboards. I didn't even talk about it. Is that a good segue for you? It's a good segue. Thank you.
